The Sig Sauer P238 Emperor Scorpion delivers reliable concealed carry performance in a micro-compact frame designed for everyday carry. This 380 ACP pistol combines the proven 1911-style operation with modern materials and finishes for enhanced durability and grip.
What Makes This Different

The Nitron-coated stainless steel slide provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard blued finishes.
