I sold my p230 when I was low on money, and I'm looking to replace it with another or a p232.
I've read great things about the Santa Barbara surplus ammo out there, but I understand the pressures may be too high. Who here has used the ammo in their p230/p232 (or other high quality .380 handgun), and did it damage your gun?
Thanks for your replies,

David

I shoot it from my p3at, I'm sure the sig can digest it with no problem.

Honestly though, while the rounds are largely reported as reliable, the QC isn't there. http://www.ktog.org/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=104;action=display;num=1137003479

Latest reports seem to be that the supply of Santa Barbara .380 ammo has run out, at least for now.

I shot the Santa Barbara ammo in my Walther pp. funtioned OK but I could sure tell the diffrents between it and Winchester ammo.
