New to Me Sig P230

I won it for a $287 bid. It has holster wear, but the internals look very good and the barrel is pristine. I am guessing it is maybe a LE trade-in that was carried a fair amount but rarely fired.

I don't know much about these pistols. It has a decocker rather than a safety, which is my preference. It fits by extra-large hands much better than most pistols this size. It points well. The sights and trigger are very good. I plan on buying an extra magazine. I will have a range report within the next few days.

Can anyone share any first-hand knowledge of these pistols? Does anyone have any advice in general, or about getting another magazine or two?

I will get to shoot it tomorrow or the next day. I have four other 380 service pistols. The Sig is the lightest and points the most naturally for me. It makes the others, such as the Russian Makarov, seem clunky and crude by comparison.

Thanks for the kind comments and advice. I already had plenty of 380acp service pistols, but no Sigs, and the price was too tempting to pass up. Most of my purchases these days are military or police surplus. I have yet to get one that doesn't function properly. All of the recent ones have been under $300.

I am 6'6" and my hands are large even for my size. Grips with finger grooves don't work for me, because the grooves are made for people with significantly smaller hands than mine. I appreciate the advice on possibly getting "bitten" by the slide. After practicing gripping it different ways, I plan on shooting it with my pinky tucked underneath. I have to shoot most smaller handguns that way, so I'm used to it. (That's the way I shoot my SA revolvers, too, which is what I grew up shooting.) I am going to the range with my FiL tomorrow morning, so I'll post a range report afterwards.

Again, thanks for all of the positive posts.
