It appears that Sig is introducing a dedicated P938 in 22 Long Rifle, and a P232 in 22 Long Rifle. SWEET !!

From Sig...

SIG SAUER® Adds Rimfire Variants to P938® Series of Pistols
Published Date: 1/14/2014
NEWINGTON, N.H. (January 14, 2014) — SIG SAUER® now offers its popular P938® single-action 9mm pistol in .22LR, allowing for less expensive practice and increased fun as a “plinking” gun. Owners of P938 pistols will also see two conversion uppers, including a “long-slide” target version.

The P938-22 Rosewood offers all the features of its larger-caliber brothers, but chambered in the common .22LR cartridge. With a 10-round magazine, the Rosewood features SIGLITE® night sights, rosewood grips and a durable Nitron® finish.

Current P938 owners can purchase the conversion kit, which contains a Nitron finished slide, 3.3″ rimfire barrel and 10-round magazine. A 4.1″ “long-slide” conversion features adjustable contrast sights and an increased sight radius.

With the popularity of the P938 as a concealed carry pistol, the P938-22 allows the operator to practice with the less expensive .22LR rimfire round, and the reduced report and recoil makes it a great option for new shooters.


And the P232 announcement...

SIG SAUER® Introduces Classic P232® Chambered in .22LR
Published Date: 1/14/2014
NEWINGTON, N.H. (January 14, 2014) — SIG SAUER® introduces a .22LR variant to the Classic P232 pistol, offering shooters a less expensive option with significant design enhancements. The new SIG SAUER P232-22 features an American (side) magazine release, external slide stop, ambidextrous manual safety and threaded barrel.

Featuring the same sleek lines as the original, the P232-22 gives operators the ability to practice with the same size, similar weight, DA/SA trigger, and frame mounted de-cocking lever of the standard P232. The light-recoil of the P232-22 is also a great choice for new shooters.

The P232-22 comes standard with a threaded barrel and would be perfectly paired with the SIG-SD .22LR Silencer. Contrast sights and an all-black frame and slide finish round out the package.

I want one!
 
Im pleasantly surprised that they are rolling out a .22 variant on what is relatively a "dated" model (the p232). When's the last time a new all steel, straight blowback, hammer fired pistol was introduced?
Nice to see someone putting out a gun in something other than striker fired and polymer.

I love my P232. It was my first carry gun, and is still one that can shoot way more accurately than it has any right to.
 
A conversion kit? Makes me want to sell my P238 and replace it with a 938+conversion kit...

Too bad they didn't make a kit for the 238.
 
I'll be interested once I can again swing by Walmart and grab some .22lr ammo on my way to the range.

With the current ammo situation another .22lr gun is a non-starter for me -- I can barely feed what I have now.
