"1911-style" - That is correct, and all it is. Style being the key word. Aesthetics only. It is no more a 1911 than any other semi-auto SA pistol.

However, my response was to whomever (don't remember who) was contributing some issues of the p238 to the claimed fact that the p238 is a 'small' 1911 (based on the known fact that compact 1911s do indeed have their own issues caused by their smaller size). This would be an incorrect cause of the p238s issues, as the p238 is not a 1911. That has been my point the entire time; nothing more. Sorry that it was confusing.
