    Is the Sig 238 worth the extra money over a Bersa? Both shoot great but you can pay half the price for a Bersa

    Well... good question. Since I have both I will answer.

    First, pictures...

    Does it shoot 2x better? Probably not. A lot better for sure. But the Bersa is not bad. The Sig is a LOT more concealable. It goes in my pocket all the time, the Bersa can not.

    You decide if it looks twice as good. My Bersa looks pretty good now. Also, I prefer the CC version of the Bersa only with aftermarket grips. The originals are not so good.

    I kept the Sig P-238 (The P-232 was never in doubt). My daughter got the Bersa. (Obviously I trust it as I gave it to my baby.) She wanted the Sig but was happy with the Thunder 380 cc after the grips were put on it.

    BTW, the blowback guns are more accurate in SA mode. But the P-238 is easier to shoot and get back on target. I used it in a recent BUG gun stage at a Steel match and beat all other .380s! 2nd place overall to a little .22lr.

    Another vote for the P-238, I went with the extreme for the extended mag. I have larger hands. Love it remarkably accurate for such a small gun

    I am looking to get the keltec for a basic carry weapon. I really like the look and feel of the Sig P238 but just can't justify the price. :/
