You seem to be taking odds with my use of the word "1911" to describe the Sig Sauer P938 or P238. Not my idea, rather it is the commonly used way of describing that style or type of pistol and all gun people describe the P938 that way. Any 1911-style gun has a group of standard design features that are well known and identified as being 1911 features, going back to the John Browning original. The P938 has all or most of them. I am sure a gun expert (Jungle?) could talk about what those features are in more detail, but they are all well known features and the P938 is widely considered to be squarely derived from that design class. It may miss some particular feature or other, but the description stands. I am not sure what your point is. It's a 1911 style gun. Why not? Maybe you are thinking that because a direct shrinkage of a larger drawings was not the method used to create it, that somehow it is a different thing.
