Description
The P938 has long been the smallest 9mm in the SIG Sauer lineup, and the Emperor Scorpion treatment turns it into something that looks as good as it carries. You get an aluminum alloy frame and stainless steel slide, both wearing a Flat Dark Earth PVD finish that holds up to sweat, holster wear, and daily abuse. The black Hogue G10 Piranha grips give the finish some contrast while keeping the gun planted in your hand, whether your palms are dry or you just ran to the truck in the rain.
Why the P938 Emperor Scorpion Shoots Bigger Than It Is
If you grew up on 1911s, this little pistol will feel like home. The thumb safety, magazine release, and slide stop all sit right where you expect them, and the safety is ambidextrous, so lefties are covered too. The single-action-only trigger is the real story here. It breaks clean and predictable, which is a big reason the P938 shoots more like a mid-size pistol than a pocket gun. Full-size SIGLite night sights ride up top, giving you a proper sight picture during the day and glowing tritium dots when the light fades.
Carry Capacity Without the Bulk
SIG ships this one with two magazines, a flush 6-rounder for deep concealment and an extended 7-rounder that gives your pinky a home and bumps you to 7+1 on board. The 3-inch barrel and metal frame keep recoil more manageable than you would expect from a 9mm this small, and the slide has been smoothed out for a clean draw with nothing to snag on cover garments.
Everyday Carry, Emperor Scorpion Style
This is the pistol for someone who wants genuine 9mm performance in a package barely bigger than a .380, without giving up metal construction, night sights, or a trigger worth bragging about. It disappears inside the waistband, in a pocket holster, or just about anywhere else you want to stash it, and SIG's fully transferable Infinite Guarantee backs it for the long haul.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the P938 Emperor Scorpion good for concealed carry?
That is exactly what it was built for. It is the smallest 9mm SIG makes, sized barely larger than the .380 P238, and the smooth, dehorned slide keeps it from snagging on the draw. The flush 6-round mag helps it disappear, while the extended 7-round mag adds capacity and a pinky rest when you want it.
Does the P938 Emperor Scorpion have to be carried cocked and locked?
Yes, like a 1911, this is a single-action-only pistol designed to be carried with the hammer cocked and the thumb safety on. The safety is ambidextrous, so it works the same for left- and right-handed carriers. If you are comfortable running a 1911, the manual of arms will feel completely familiar.
How does the recoil feel with a 9mm this small?
It is snappier than a full-size pistol, no way around that, but the all-metal frame soaks up more recoil than the polymer micro guns in this class. The G10 grips also keep it locked into your hand. Most people find it very manageable with the 7-round extended magazine giving all fingers a place to grip.
What magazines come with this P938, and are the sights actual night sights?
This model ships with two steel magazines, a flush-fit 6-rounder and an extended 7-rounder. The sights are genuine SIGLite tritium night sights, so they glow in the dark without batteries and give you a full-size sight picture that is rare on pistols this small.
