It's hard to believe the transformation that has just taken place in my collection--a few weeks ago, I bought a nearly-new SP2022, then I traded my G19 for a used P239, and yesterday I bought a new two-tone P238. Inside of a month, I've become a convert to SIG Sauer! 
Here's a "family photo" (that's a Streamlight TLR-3 on the SP2022):
I have to say that I'm really pleased by these pistols thus far. All three have functioned flawlessly (42 rounds through the P238 today), and I am quite impressed by the attention to detail with respect to the machining and ergonomics. The P239 was manufactured in 1997 and shows just enough holster wear that I won't be afraid to carry it. The tritium sights are surprisingly bright given their age, and I put on a new set of stock grips and a new recoil spring and guide rod. The other two are 2011 guns and are quite beautiful. I just ordered a set of checkered Hogue rosewood grips for the P238 and I'm looking forward to dressing it up a bit.
My only complaint is that I wish they made a P238-sized DA/SA pistol. It would be so cool to have the same controls on all three pistols!
Anyway, I think I understand now what all the fuss is about as far as SIG goes! Now I need to carry these for a while, to decide if I want to sell my TCP and my G27.
Any recommendations for a pocket holster for the P238? I have a Desantis Nemesis, which is a great holster, but leather would be nice.
