The P238 is a 1911-pattern single-action .380 ACP micro pistol that brought the manual-of-arms and trigger quality of a 1911 to a pocket-sized carry gun. Chambered in .380 ACP with a 6+1 capacity and a 2.7-inch barrel, it uses an aluminum alloy frame and stainless steel slide. The single-action trigger and thumb safety require 1911-style carry — cocked and locked — but reward the shooter with a crisp, consistent break. One of the most popular pocket pistols in the American market. Type: Pistol Action: Single-Action Caliber: .380 ACP Capacity: 6 Year introduced: 2009, USA Weight: 15.2 oz Overall length: 5.5" Status: Active Intended use: carry, concealed_carry, backup
