Fugk those 238's.
They go against the ideal of what a pocket gun should be.
A little heavy, and you need to operate a thumb safety, so I would agree that the LCP is a superior pants pocket gun.
I suppose you never had to carry a 25 ounce S&W 640 in your pocket back in the day.
I don't feel the need to get down to 12 ounces loaded to make me happy.
I also had a Sig P238 a while back. While it was fun, accurate and very fast, I also did not like the safety when presenting from the pocket.
