Hi Michael, the P238 is not discontinued. There are import issues with required parts currently to allow import into the US. This has caused a shortage of available P238 models in the US. Hopefully this will be resolved soon. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

It was never discontinued. It is still produced in Switzerland by SIG-Sauer AG, the Swiss branch of the company, aka Swiss Arms. Due to import restrictions in the US, receivers and a few other parts were imported from Switzerland and assembled using US-made parts for the remainder.
