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.

Then lube, and it's off to the range.
:iagree: Basically the same thing I do then go out and have fun with it. :fire

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