Extended safety for P238

I am looking for an extended safety (NOT ambi) for the 238. C&S has them for $71 which is pretty steep. Midway has a C&S extended safety for the Colt Mustang for $43. From what I am reading, it looks like the 238 shares some parts common to the Colt 380's. Does anyone know, definitively, if this safety will work on the 238? Thanks very much!

Update: OK, I just saw that, apparently, the 238 and 938 safeties are interchangeable and some 938 operators have installed the Colt extended safeties without issue. True?

Update 2: See my post below. $71 was for the ambi, not extended safety.

Thanks for your responses. I did some more snooping and emailed C&S. They have these specifically for the Sig:

CS0079SIG SIG P238/938 Extended Thumb Safety = $46.36
380 Extended Safety - Stainless Steel

CS0078SIG SIG P238/938 Ambi Thumb Safety = $71.25
Colt 380 High Grip Ambi Safety - Stainless Steel

From C&S:
"Yes, we have a SIG specific version of our Colt 380 thumb safeties that have the additional locking tab that the SIG engineers added to the design. We do not have them listed on our website, so you will need to call 402-721-4277 and ask for Zach to order."

So, no more guessing about whether a Colt version will fit or not! HOWEVER, I have another question for y'all.....does anyone actually have an extended safety on their P238? I am curious as to whether the extended safety poses a possible problem with concealed carry, i.e. IWB. If it protrudes to far, it may be inadvertently flipped off during carry. Does anyone have experience with this on this gun? Thank you!!
