Sig .380 model number

I saw a Sig .380 that was mostly composite, very lightweight with light slide spring that would be perfect for my wife who has RA and limited grip, but I cannot find out what the model number was. Any help would be appreciated.

    Rufe, tnx for the reply; that is close, but I don't think it is the exact same model. The one I saw had accessory groove on front for lazer or light, a more aggressive stippling pattern all over grip and an unusual triangular cover over ejection port. It also had 3 dot sites and a different appearance of slide lock, more like a 1911. Seems like model was something like a 296 or something close to that.

    You know more about her capabilities than I do, but bear in mind that the lighter an autopistol's frame the more critical it becomes for the shooter to maintain a solid/consistent hold on the grip frame.

    Any movement the frame is allowed to make while firing translates directly to variations in slide speed, which of course can lead to stoppages.

    Though it may be easier to carry and heft, an ultra-light polymer frame - especially when combined with a short/stubby grip profile - may not be a good feature for someone with known hand strength issues.

    If it's this one...

    It's not a polymer frame. It's alloy. And it has enough heft for low felt recoil and quick follow ups.
