We have come to the last post in our ‘1911!’ series, which we hope that you have enjoyed. Today, we bring you a ‘scaled-down’ 1911 built by SIG Sauer, the 9x19mm ‘938 Equinox’, which was designed as a Micro Compact pistol. Read on for another LSB journey in firearms history…

SIG Sauer Inc. of Exeter, New Hampshire, U.S.A. is owned by the German L&O Holding Group, which also owns several top-notch brands such as SIG Sauer AG (Switzerland) and JP Sauer & Sohn, Blaser, Mauser, GSG, Diana (Germany) and John Rigby (UK). The Group is in the process of closing its German subsidiary, as most of the SIG range is now produced in the U.S.A. SIG Sauer Inc. markets and distributes its U.S. made products in 88 countries.  LSB has been dealing directly with the U.S. division for the past years, ensuring that Maltese customers have the widest choice of products at the best prices. Our supplies arrive directly from the U.S. where they are manufactured in 9 facilities in New Hampshire, Arkansas and Oregon, which employ over 2,300 employees. This is where the extraordinarily successful company designs and manufactures firearms, ammunition, optics, suppressors and air guns. 

SIG Sauer launched the 938 series of pistols at the 2011 Shot Show in Las Vegas.  The company wanted to offer the ballistic advantage of the 9x19mm cartridge in a platform similar in size to the best-selling P238 pistol. A single-action-only trigger, coupled with full-size SIGLITE Night Sights makes the P938 handle like a much larger pistol, yet is remains easy to carry concealed. With dimensions just slightly larger than its .380ACP counterpart, the P938 packs six plus one rounds of 9x19mm into an all-metal frame and a polished and engraved stainless-steel slide. The single-action trigger gives the P938 unmatched accuracy in a pistol its size. Fans of the 1911 will find the thumb safety, magazine release and slide stop lever in familiar places. An ambidextrous safety makes the P938 easy for left- and right-handed shooters.

The Equinox model combines a Nitron stainless steel slide with a lightweight black hard-coat anodized alloy frame. The brush polished flats of the slide and nickel accents provide contrast. The combination of the TRUGLO Tritium Fiber Optic front sight and the rear SIGLITE night sight, provides exceptional target acquisition, whether shooting day or night. The custom wood grips combine gray laminated wood with a perfect blend of checkering and stippling to enhance not only form, but function. The 938 has a 3” barrel and an overall length of 5.9”. The pistol weighs 16 ounces and has a SAO trigger pull between 7.5 and 8.5 pounds.  More details can be found on the SIG Sauer website. This post is also featured on our Facebook Page.
