SIG SAUER P238 .380 ACP 7-Round Extended Magazine

SIG SAUER P238 .380 ACP 7-Round Extended Magazine

This factory SIG SAUER magazine is designed for the compact P238 pistol chambered in .380 ACP. It holds seven rounds and uses an extended base that adds gripping surface below the pistol’s short frame. That combination provides one more round than the standard six-round flush magazine while giving the shooter additional support for the lower portion of the hand.

The exact item is SIG SAUER part number MAG-238-380-7-X, also represented in distributor catalogs as MAG2383807X, with UPC 798681429806. SIG SAUER’s magazine catalog pairs that model and UPC with the P238. Matching the complete identifier helps distinguish it from the six-round P238 magazine and the separate seven-round LEGION magazine.

Extended P238 Configuration

The magazine uses a stainless-steel body with a natural metal finish and an extended grip adapter at the base. The extension is shaped to continue the grip below the frame, which can improve support for shooters whose little finger falls below the standard P238 grip. It also helps visually and physically distinguish this model from a flush-fit magazine.

The extension is part of the magazine’s fit and handling system rather than an increase to the pistol’s internal grip length. Confirm that the base seats fully against the pistol and does not contact an aftermarket grip panel or accessory in a way that prevents the magazine catch from engaging.

Correct Model and Caliber

This magazine is intended for the SIG SAUER P238 in .380 ACP. It is not a P938 magazine, even though the two compact pistol families look similar, and it should never be loaded with 9mm Luger ammunition. Check the model and caliber markings on the firearm and compare the exact magazine part number before use.

The seven-round rating is the magazine’s maximum stated capacity. Do not force an additional cartridge into the magazine. A new spring may feel firm when the final round is loaded; use proper loading technique and stop if a cartridge will not seat without excessive force.

Inspection and Care

Before using the magazine, inspect the body, feed lips, follower, spring tension, and extended base. With the pistol unloaded and pointed in a safe direction, insert the empty magazine to verify positive lockup and normal release. Then test the loaded magazine with the intended pistol at a controlled range before relying on it for carry or defensive use.

Keep lint, dust, and residue from collecting inside the magazine. If cleaning requires disassembly, follow SIG SAUER’s instructions and carefully control the spring and base components during removal. Lubricant should be used sparingly, since excess oil can attract debris and contact ammunition. Remove the magazine from service if the body is dented, the feed lips are damaged, the extension is cracked, or recurring feeding problems appear.
