Owners of the P938 tend to praise its compact size and the quality of the two-tone finish. The stainless slide holds up well and the walnut grips get consistent compliments for feel and appearance. For a subcompact, it prints small and most find it comfortable to carry all day.

The single-action-only trigger is a point of discussion. Those with a 1911 background appreciate the short, crisp break; shooters used to striker-fired pistols need range time to build confidence with the manual safety. The ambidextrous safety is a plus for left-handed shooters.

Value opinion is mixed relative to competing subcompacts. The P938 commands a premium price and some owners think the small capacity (six or seven rounds) makes the cost hard to justify compared to newer micro-nines. Others see it as the right trade-off for the size and the SAO feel.
