This sure is a beautiful weapon. Think the finish would hold up if it was used for frequent carry? Somebody say yes. ;-).

I actually like the rainbow titanium finish, but get ready for some smack talk on it - lol. Someone was talking about the 238's a while back and someone mentioned how Q ( trying to be politically correct so I'll say girly ) and many chimed in on how ridiculous the rainbow was. I have been a closet rainbow titanium lover finally coming out :) You can pick them up cheaper than most 238's too - many people I guess don't like them. Last time I checked, you can get one for around $540. I was considering trading my S&W Bodyguard 380 for one because the BG trigger is nasty - but still undecided because I'm not sure if I want a single action only pocket/bug ??? Let us know if you pick one up and I'll do the same.
I secretly, well not anymore, love them as well. I'll probably pick one up for my g/f to shoot.
The guys behind the counter at the shop I was in yesterday were talking about one they recently sold. If I didn't blow my entire firearms budget for the year in the past two weeks on other guns, I'd seriously consider bringing one home. Get a rainbow Kershaw scallion or leek and you'd have a pretty nice set.
My father-in-law carries one. Seems to be holding up well and it shoots great. I would rock one.

This thread is making me so happy...:)
I like it, would look better with a bare stainless reciever and no black, but I like it. I love the P238, It's a very nice handgun. Will last way longer than any of these new pocet guns.
I dunno about that last claim - Go check on SigForum and look for people who have a decent number of rounds (well, relatively speaking that is - say, over 1k rds.) through their 238's - They all seem to encounter recoil springs that die after about 250 rds., some have peening on their slides and/or frame or barrel locking surfaces, and yet others have had nightmarish extractor tension issues...
And as for the titanium rainbow finish - Well I will be subtle and simply say that I am not a fan of it. At all. OMO of course!

If they had it in the p230 I might think about it - IMO pretty, but not super practical - black seems better for defense... Cb
