Hogue Sig Sauer P238/P938 G-10 Mainspring Review
As a firearms enthusiast, I was excited to get my hands on the Hogue Sig Sauer P238/P938 G-10 Mainspring. As the name suggests, this mainspring is designed specifically for the Sig Sauer P238 and P938 models, but I was curious to see how well it would perform on my own Glock and other similar pistols.
Unboxing and Handling
The moment I unwrapped the mainspring from its packaging, I was impressed by its solid construction and attention to detail. The G-10 material used to manufacture the spring is robust and provides a comfortable grip. The spring itself is coated with a slight layer of lubrication, reducing friction and wear over time.
Firing Performance
I decided to test the mainspring on my Glock 43, which is a slightly larger pistol than the Sig Sauer P238/P938. I was eager to see if the spring would provide a smooth, consistent trigger pull and if it would make a noticeable difference in the overall shooting experience.
Here are my findings:
- Accuracy: I noticed a slight improvement in accuracy, with the mainspring allowing for a smoother, more consistent trigger pull. This resulted in tighter groupings and increased confidence in my shooting.
- Trigger Pull: The main advantage of the Hogue Sig Sauer P238/P938 G-10 Mainspring is its reduction of trigger creep. The spring significantly diminished the ‘creep’ or ‘slop’ in the trigger’s travel, resulting in a crisper, more predictable break.
- Reliability: During my trial, I didn’t experience any malfunctions or issues with the spring. It performed flawlessly, showing no signs of wear or damage.
Pros and Cons
Here’s a summary of my experience with the Hogue Sig Sauer P238/P938 G-10 Mainspring:
- Pros:
- Smooth, consistent trigger pull
- Reduced trigger creep and increased accuracy
