It sounds simple enough, but in a high-stress, adrenaline-infused situation, this can create complications for users depending on how they elect to carry the SA weapon. After the first shot, the recoil of the slide re-cocks the hammer for subsequent rounds until the pistol is empty. This means that the hammer must be cocked before the pistol can be fired the first time. As I said before, it has an SA trigger system. The P938 Combat is essentially a scaled-down version of a 1911 pistol in most regards. However, unlike 1911 designs, the P938 does not include a grip safety in its construction, though the slightly heavier pull of the trigger alleviates some concern in this regard. Despite the pistol’s size, it does have an ambidextrous safety, making it just as usable for left-handed shooters. The heart of the P938 Combat pistol is its SA operating system, styled after John Browning’s Model 1911, and for many users this system is synonymous with combat pistols. This allows the owner the chance to start practicing and carrying immediately without having to wait for a special-order holster to arrive first. The P938 comes with just one 7-round magazine, but Sig Sauer does include a holster with the package. An important consideration in concealed carry is width, and the P938 Combat is just 1.1 inches wide, making IWB carry an ideal option. Its height is only 3.9 inches, while the weight pushes the scales to a scant 16 ounces. With its 3-inch barrel, the pistol is just 5.9 inches long. Sig calls this pistol a “micro-compact,” and true to that moniker, the P938 is an imminently concealable pistol due to its small footprint.

The slide bears cocking serrations at both the front and rear, and it also wears a set of Sig’s excellent SIGLITE night sights as well. It is a two-tone affair with the slide finished in black Nitron while the hardcoat anodized aluminum alloy frame is Flat Dark Earth. It offers all of the requisite features of a fighting pistol while minimizing unnecessary frills. While a relatively diminutive and attractive package, the Sig P938 Combat is all business.

So it’s no surprise that Sig Sauer modeled its P938 series after this time-proven design. Long considered the ultimate fighting pistol because of its lighter single-action (SA) trigger pull, its ability to be quickly put into action and its relatively low bore axis for more natural aiming, the 1911 is one of the most revered pistols in use today. One product line that Sig Sauer has introduced to effectively facilitate concealed carry is the P938, and the specific variation that I tested for this review is the P938 Combat. And it’s as real and impactful as the word connotes in any context. That said, rule number one of a gunfight is to bring a gun, and for regular civilians who aren’t dressed out for combat in load-bearing harnesses and tactical vests, certain compromises have to be made to live by that first rule. For our purposes, especially here at home, a defensive engagement against an attacker is exactly that-combat. Merriam-Webster defines combat as a “fight or contest between individuals or groups” as part of its online dictionary. In general terms, when people refer to combat, it’s typically a reference to action that takes place in a theater of war or some covert military action that occurs under the cover or night. The gun also produced sub-3-inch groups with practice ammo.
