Sig Sauer P232 Pistols: Updated for 2009
ByThe Sig Sauer P232 pistol was updated for 2009. The new P232 features a newly designed slide that reduces “slide bite” on larger hands and removable sights.
For those not familar with the Sig Sauer P232, the gun is a .380 ACP pistol that is more substantial in size and weight thant the recent crop of .380 pocket guns. The P232 runs between 18.5 - 23.6 ounces, has a 3.6″ barrel, and an overall length of 6.6″. The action is a DA/SA design, and has a capacity of 6+1.
The Sig P232 is available in three finishes: black Nitron, stainless, and a two-tone stainless slide with black frame. All models of P232 are available with standard or SIGLITE Night Sights.

My complements to Sig. One of the finest pistols in existance, is now made 99.5 % perfect. Great protection against “nite lizzards” for evening shift nurses and such.

Carried this weapon for a number of years as a back-up to my primary police weapon, ie .45 caliber Colt Commander.
Like the idea of night sights as standard for this weapon. However, the slide to be pulled back to load a round in the chamber is tough. I just manually pull the hammer back and then work the slide to inject a round in the chamber. Also can only get 6 rounds in the mag instead of the quoted 7. I use 7 with 6 in the mag plus 1 in the chamber. Just got the new one and haven’t took it to the range yet. Maybe the slide will be easier to work when I put about 50 rounds thru it. Like it as well as my old one that I carried in the 90s and early part of 2000.
