The P230 preceded the P232 as SIG's compact DA/SA .380 ACP pocket pistol, using a blowback operating system with a fixed barrel. A German-made pistol with excellent fit and finish, the P230 was used by German police as a secondary sidearm and sold commercially through the early 1990s. The P232 directly succeeded it with modest improvements.
