My wife picked up her P238 yesterday.
The P238 is much easier for her to pull the Slide.
She had a difficult time pulling the slide with my Ruger LCP.
Shes small, 89 lbs when we married. ;-)
The trigger is light compared to anything, but, especially to my LCP.
The P238 is very slightly wider and about 1/4" longer.
The P238 just feels like a more substantial gun.
It feels better in your hand, I like the trigger position better.
It is not quite as easy to wallet holster carry as the LCP.
However, I haven't explored possible wallet holsters yet.

The P238 is a nicer gun but, it does cost more than twice as much.
So I would expect that.

Here's a picture of the pocket holster I use for my P238.
It is made by Blackhawk in USA. Size 2 fits the P238 perfectly.

I like it because it's soft and isn't any bigger than it
has to be to hold and cover most of the P238. The barrel end
is sewn closed like the sides so you won't get crap from the
bottom of pockets (or handbags, I guess) in the barrel.

Best of all ... they are less than $10.

Here's my Sig P238 in the Blackhawk pocket holster I mentioned in
another post. As you can see, it fits perfectly.

That might work, here's what I'm used to.
Leather, fits in my wallet pocket and looks like a wallet in your
pocket. The picture shows it riding a little high.

A pocket holster I like, but you would not want to have a bunch of dirt in your
pockets.

Running a retail outlet is a good reason. Could be a lot of shrimp
addicts down there, ya know.

I have one like that ... in fact I think it's the same one.
Used it with the S&W Bodyguard pistol I had.
Good quality but I don't like the idea of an open barrel end
in a pocket holster for the reasons you stated. The one I use
for the Sig P238 is sewn shut.

And of course it is Florida, where you can stand your shrimp. Bang bang

....or keep pockets semi-clean.
