Key features

• Single-action trigger — Why it matters: gives you a crisp, consistent break for precise shot placement, critical in a micro-compact where every round counts.
• XRAY3 day/night sights — Why it matters: tritium inserts and bright front ring let you acquire your target fast in low light, without needing a flashlight.
• All-metal construction — Why it matters: steel slide and alloy frame reduce felt recoil and improve durability over polymer micro-compacts, keeping the gun controllable under rapid fire.
• 3-inch barrel — Why it matters: balances concealability with ballistic performance, delivering adequate muzzle velocity for 9mm defensive loads.
• Two magazines included — Why it matters: gives you a spare reload out of the box, with a flush-fit 6-rounder and an extended 7-rounder for better grip.

Who it’s for

This SIG Sauer P938 Two-Tone is built for experienced shooters who want a single-action 1911-style platform in a 9mm micro-compact. It suits everyday carry users who prioritize metal-frame reliability and night sights over polymer-frame weight savings. If you carry appendix or pocket, the 3-inch barrel and slim profile disappear under a T-shirt.

Pros/Cons

Pros: All-metal build soaks up recoil; XRAY3 sights are usable day and night; single-action trigger is predictable; two magazines included; proven SIG Sauer reliability.

Cons: Single-action requires manual safety engagement for safe carry — not ideal for users who prefer striker-fired or DA/SA pistols. The 6-round flush magazine can pinch the pinky for larger hands.

FAQ

Is the SIG Sauer P938 Two-Tone safe for cocked-and-locked carry?

Yes. The P938 uses a manual thumb safety and a firing pin block. Per SIG Sauer specs, carrying with the hammer cocked and safety engaged is the intended method for single-action carry.

Does this pistol fit standard P938 holsters?

Yes. The Two-Tone model uses the same frame dimensions as other P938 variants. Most holsters molded for the P938 will work, but avoid holsters designed for the P238 — the slide profile is different.

What is the trigger pull weight?

Per the manufacturer, the single-action trigger breaks at approximately 7.5 to 8.5 pounds. It has a short take-up and a clean break with a positive reset.

Can I use +P ammunition in this pistol?

SIG Sauer does not recommend using +P ammunition in the P938. Stick to standard-pressure 9mm loads to avoid accelerated wear on the aluminum frame.

Which magazines come in the box?

It ships with one flush-fit 6-round magazine and one extended 7-round magazine with a pinky rest. Both are steel-bodied with polymer base pads.
