Good news. I think I am going to grab one VERY soon. I just need to decide which model of the P938. I am use to the 1911 configuration, and Condition One is my favorite mode of carry.

If you're used to 1911s, you will probably be disappointed with the trigger on the 938. IMHO the one I played with felt heavy and gritty.

go pokes.

Congrats, I like my blackwood, reliable shooter, I just dont like how heavy the trigger is and accuracy isn't great.

I have one. I cussed it a bunch, but it runs okay now.

I found on mine that when they bead blasted/shot peened the slide, they obviously did it with the slide assembled, because under a microscope you could see the same texture on all the components, such as the extractor. After 30-40 shots it started hanging up & wouldn't feed. When I pulled it down, there were large amounts of brass deposits on the breech face and bottom of the slide. These too were areas that should have been left smooth, but were also shot peened.

I got busy and polished the breech face, and all the components that needed it. It runs fine now, although it still has a rough trigger. Annoying they apparently expect you to burn 500 rounds (or more) to polish up surfaces that should have been smooth out of the box.

Call me fussy, but semi-autos should function semi-automatically out of the box

One tip I will give prospective buyers - unlike a 1911, the firing pin stop CAN be installed backwards, and you'll get misfires if you do so. Make sure you re-assemble with the bottom radii facing the hammer.

It still needs a trigger job, but I have decided to like the pistol. If you buy one, just be prepared to work on it
