Sig P232

Two-Tone P232

The Sig Sauer P232 is simply the best gun for a concealed carry. I have shot many guns and this one is great. The fixed barrel makes the .380 caliber shoot extremely straight. Also the smooth rounded edges make it a breeze to conceal. The .380 caliber may be small but with some good ammunition and accuracy it will pack a punch. I have not shot the stainless version or the blued but they must all be the same. I can say that I have been shooting the two-tone and performance speaks for itself. I would highly recommend the two-tone Sig Sauer P232 as the best.

SIG P232
by: TC

I have carried the blued SIG P232 for over two years. It is very comfortable to shoot and to carry due to its rounded edges and full size grip, and is easy to conceal due to its size. With over 1000 rounds fired I have never experienced a failure to fire or failure to eject. With the addition of Crimson Trace grips it is the perfect concealed carry weapon. It is a bit more expensive than similarly sized weapons but you get what you pay for.

The Sig 232 isn't worth the money
by: Thomas

I bought a Sig p232 last year, and it's the worst gun I ever owned. The factory service is non exsistant

Sig P232
by: Carlos S. Ramos

A few month ago a got my wife a S&W "Airweight" .38 Special revolver, because a lot of people told me that it was a great gun for her and the only thing is that the revolver since it has a short barrel will kick a bid. So she was afraid of using it. For years I wanted the Sig P232 pistol, my best friend from High School in Puerto Rico served in the Secret Service and he used this gun as a backup. Me I am an H&K & Glock all the way, but this guns were to big for her hands. The caliber that came to my mind was .380 or 9mm, first the pocket .380 were to small and I knew that she wasn't going to like it because it was going to kick as well, so I had to find a gun that will fit her all around. So I bought her the Sig P232. Yesterday I had an Firearm Instructor who came to the house and give her the class for conceal weapon here in the State of Florida and took her to the gun range and she did A+ with her Sig P232 she shoot 100 rounds without any issues and was accurate. and She is happy with her new gun. God Bless you all!!!!

Double feeds
by: Sig Gunsmith

The Sig P232 has an ejection problem. The shell retainer on the bolt face has been milled away. The pistol fires, the slide recoils, and the shell can fall into the ejection port. Ejection occurs only because the extractor flips the shell out.

A double feed in a pistol that has no slide lock is a three handed affair to unjam.

Grips

I purchased mine from Midway. You might also consider the Hogue finger groove grips for comfort.

Stainless is rust resistant
by: Gunsmokeray

The stainless will not rust from the moisture of being carried close to your body.
The extra weight makes it more pleasant to shoot. You have to practice so make it enjoyable.
If looks don't matter there are reliable carry guns that sell for a lot less. Mine is two tone with beautiful wooden grips. It is a joy to carry, to shoot, and just to look at.

Pros & Cons of P232 Blued v 2 Tone v Stainless?
by: RDF

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the 3 P232 options - Blued, Two Tone, and Stainless? I'm interested in CC, and "looks" don't matter. What benefits do the Two Tone and Stainless have that offset the weight difference. I'm a newb and I'm curious re. the practical benefits of the heavier models.

Houston P232 sellers
by: Burt

Chris,
I have seen stainless and blued P232 models at Carter's Country at beltway 8 and 59 south. Gander Mountain in Indianapolis had several blued ones, so call around the Houston stores.

NICE!!!
by: Brock

I haven't experienced the P232 yet but just by reading about it makes me want to.... I will defiantly be shooting it soon. I have shot a Ruger .38 revolver and it was a very fun weapon but a tad on the heavy side (I don't discriminate). I also am a huge fan of the Kimber .45 1911 style. Amazing

Agreed
by: Bob Hunt (TX)

My wife carrys the Sig P232. As someone said, it isn't cheap but she is very comfortable handling it, and carrying it. I've considered replacing my Glock 23 for all the same reasons but mainly because the Sig is easier to conceal. Sooner or later, I'll get someone complain because I am always dressed casual but the Glock is so squared I have a hard time keeping in hidden in my belt.

Great Gun
by: W. Worsham

Had one for 10 years and have one for my wife to carry also. Excellent combination of features. Don't complain it's expensive, it's cheaper than your life or the life of your loved ones.

Great carry gun
by: Ray

I own many handguns but I carry the Sig P232 two tone. It is slim, light and snag free. When loaded with 90gr. CorBon hollow points it has enough punch.

sig 232
by: Chris Moders

I'm in agreement with the others here. A easy, accurate and flawlessly-reliable pistol to shoot.
Mine is the black aluminum-framed version, but there's no frame battering on about 500 rounds. Doesn't look like that'll ever happen either.

It is kinda wierd; the decocker is where you'd expect the magazine release to be, (and as others have mentioned) it's got a heel mag release.

For CCW purposes the heel mag release probably isn't an issue; you hopefully won't be doing quick magazine changes anyway. And without a mag release button on the side, the pistol will never drop a magazine by sitting on it or bumping it while CC'ing.

The pistol is small enough to effectively conceal, but big enough to handle and aim well.

A Great carry gun
by: Dan , Texas

I have been trained (Gunsite) and practiced with 1911 platform autos for more than 30 years. On occassion, I do carry a Kimber Stainless Ultra Carry, which is a very nice compact mini .45.

However, for the last year or so, I find that for every day carry, I go with my Sig Sauer P232 .380,
in a Don Hume IWB holster The pistol is loaded with 8 rds of Cor Bon 90 gr JHP. This pistol is 100% reliable and very acurate. The only aspect of the Sig that I don't care for is the European style magazine release (Bottom of grip). I do a fair amount of practice shooting with this pistol, and in over 800 or so rds, have yet to see a malfunction. The one time I used it on a live target, I dispatched an armadillo with one shot through the neck, causing instant death.
I would recommend the Sig 232 as a reliable and effective (with good shot placement) carry pistol, and with a spare magazine carried in a hip pocket, one should feel adequately armed.

Excellent
by: Strawboss

The Sig P232 is the best gun for C.C. that I have found. The problem with most CCWs is that the handle is too small for my hand. I feel like I do not have stability and control. The Sig has a handle that provides excellent control and at the samme time is small & smooth enough for day to day carry. The only drawback is the european style mag. eject. You must push a button on the bottom of the handle to eject the mag. Ok once you get used to it.

Sig 232
by: Anonymous

My wife and I carry and when we first got into this we were told that revolvers were the way to go as they always fire, are simple and intuitive, more difficult to take out of battery, etc. After reading from this site and others she decided to try out a few revolvers... and hated them! Didn't like the feel, the recoil (.38 spl), sights, grips, nothing! Predisposed to only consider a revolver, she reluctantly tried a bottom feeder that happened to be the Sig 232 and it was literally 'love at first shot'. Light, accurate, totally reliable (hundreds of rounds without a single hiccup), and a smooth body for rapid retrieval from purse or holster. She loves it and feels fully confident that if the need arises, this little Sig will get the job done. Also, it's so light and compact that she carries it all the time. With proper defense ammunition, the Sig 232 is indeed a roaring mouse gun. Highly recommended.

I love the looks and feel of the 232. I would love to have one, but they are costly.
