I just bought one of these last week, and I can assure you the finish looks ten times better in person. I went in looking to buy the standard two tone model with the gray aluminum grips, but they had the rainbow sitting right next to it. It was a no brainer. The rosewood grips are gorgeous, and the slide finish, as I said, looks much better in person. I wasn't even aware they had this model. The name 'rainbow' is gay I admit, but the gun is really sharp looking. You have to see one in person. That picture, quite frankly sucks.

I thought I wanted a Ruger LCP before I saw this. It is waay nicer than the Ruger and easier to hold, use and conceal than my other .380. Looks much nicer than the picture here, too. Comes with a fitted holster (made in Israel) which also seems to be a well made, quality article. I'm sold. I saw this yesterday while shopping for a new carry gun.

Remember this is listed as a "Special Edition" and the fit and finish is excellent! It is quite an eye catcher in a collection. Everyone asks about it and it would make a great "Presentation" firearm. I plan to keep it for that reason and put it in a rosewood box with lexan insert in the lid to match the grips. Personally, I duty carry Stainless Steel firearms, (Walther PPK/S and S&W 4506) but it is definately a very pretty 380! Would make a great gift for the Special Person in your life! P238 Rainbow:

I have to say that I like it, it's not as flashy as some of the pics you see, but definitely different. I guess you either like it or don't. The fit and finish of it is excellent. This is my first Sig, bought for CC, and it won't be my last. It is accurate, easy to take down and clean and I haven't found anything wrong with it yet. I've run about 300 rounds through it with only one misfeed (Russian ammo.) Seems to like 90 or 93 grain rounds.

It is by far the best looking gun i own. Is it girly. Hell no. This will be a gun u want to get a hold on to and pass it down to your chidren. It will be worth alot of money someday. Sig sauer build a 9mm in this rainbow finish and it will sell out. I just purchased this p238 titanium finish. It is by far the best looking gun i own. Is it girly. Hell no.

It's actually are really beautiful, neat looking gun. The finish on it is really cool. It reminds you of oil on water - how it rainbows. And I know, oil in/on water isn't cool but it does look neat (not the BP type of oil though). :) I saw this gun today at one of the Suncoast gun shows in florida.

I thought if I ever pulled it on someone they might die laughing before I got a chance to shoot. But it has such a look of quality and, more than that, the FEEL of quality that, once I held it, I couldn't resist it. Strangely enough I have always had a preference for the black "mean" looking guns before. Thefirst time I pulled it out in the presence of other gun owners I was ready for a lot of flak (just like it's getting here); but those guys were all over it like white on rice. I've owned 5 pistols and I like this one better than any of them. If I had any doubts before, they soon vanished the first time I fired it.

It will, in my opinion be a collectors item someday, and is a completely funtional item right now. It's also a whole lot better looking than the photo shown. See one in person.

It is a way cool piece. If folks rag you about the caliber ask if they will stand in front of it while you empty the mag! I have safe fool of 9s, 40s and 45s, but the P238 gets carried the most.

I am a PI in Florida, and my business partner has been trying to talk me into buying a handgun now for 2 years. I have looked at everything..and nothing appealed to me until TODAY when I saw this gun at a local gun show. It is absolutely amazing and I brought 'her' home immediately! Granted, she's my X-mas present but hey... I agree with Sheree..I hate pink although S&W has a nice 'mauve' 38 out but the Rainbow won out. Susan http://www.searchquestamerica.com So folks,

Sig P238 Rainbow titanium that is, and guess what...It is one of only 2 TOTAL P238's that my gunshop has been able to get what with the "pocket gun" craze. Is it a little over the top? Yep, but is is little, 15 ounces (light) HAS NIGHT SIGHTS!!! and it is in my pocket now, NOT on backorder, and the only time you see it is right before the "flash", so I doubt that anyone will make fun of it... it beats the HECK out of my Ruger LCP (tiny, worthless little sights and bad trigger pull).... Bottom line, the gun you have (albeit a little ghetto maybe) is better than the one you can't get or left at home because it is too bulky to grab going out the door! I HAVE ONE….

I am using Hornady critical defense 90 gr ammo and it is a sweet shooter. If you load it with some of the heavier ammo it is a handful. I think the sites are better than any other .380. I also have a kel-tec .380 and a Beretta .380, but I Like the P 238 the best, The kel-tec is clunky, but it will get her done. I like the Berretta, but it is harder to conceal.
