Curiously enough my two pocket carry pistols have been the Bodyguard and the P-238.
I had after market work done on the Bodyguard to shorten l-o-n-g trigger pull. The P-238 trigger is perfect as is. The BG is about the right weight. The P-238 is heavier but does not exhibit the same degree of recoil as the BG. I find the P-238 to be a bit more accurate, but at the ranges it is not a significant factor. I am much more comfortable with the safe on the BG than the "cocked and locked" of the SIG in my front pocket.The p-238 is much more expensive than the BG. Overall, there is not much question in my mind that the P-238 is a better quality gun.
My compromise decision was to carry the P-238 in my front pocket with a pocket holster on an EMPTY chamber. (here come the boos) The trigger on the SIG is much more sensitive and responsive whereas with the BG you have the a long trigger pull & safe. Cocked and locked in my front pocket makes me nervous. The P-238 can fire more quickly and follow up shots come more accurately. There is a trade off for just about everything when comparing this two pistols.
Your choice is really win vs. win. Good luck.
