My dumb question for the day.

Is a P238 a .38 cal weapon?

Nope, it's a 35 caliber.

I have a P238 as well, just cleaned all the packing gunk out and oiled it.

You'll soon realize that it is one sweeeeet little pistol, absolutely love mine. Did you get the two tone or the rainbow finish one?

I went with Nitron finish. Wanted the two-tone but could not find it. I think it was a nice purchase but I have to wait until around Christmas to shoot. Had surgery on both wrists and still a month or so out from shooting according to my Dr.

When I get a new gun I field strip and clean it, as well as checking it for basic mechanical funtion (dry fire, verify manual safety - if any - works, etc.) I look it over for tool marks in inappropriate places (like the feed ramp) and make sure the screws are torqued down properly. Then lube, and it's off to the range.

Basically the same thing I do then go out and have fun with it.

the Sig 238 is a .380, actually a copy of the Colt Mustang.
