The P232 is a slim, all-metal DA/SA .380 ACP pistol that succeeded the P230 in SIG's lineup. A straight-blowback design with a fixed barrel, the P232 offered the reliability and finish quality of SIG's service pistols in a compact package suitable for plainclothes carry. Popular with European officers as a backup gun and with American concealed carriers who wanted a premium .380. Discontinued as the market shifted to polymer micro-compact 9mm pistols.
