$389 doesnt sound bad, especially for one in stainless. I've seen them around here in blue for more. I have a couple of the P230's and love them. They are great pistols, accurate and reliable. If it turns you on, go for it, I think you'll be happy.

The SIG P232 is the best of the blowback .380s, in my opinion. Beautifully made, great sights, thin and easy to carry, accurate, and totally reliable. It's also one of the prettiest handguns ever made, especially the stainless variant.
Someone will be along shortly to tell you that the P232 is too large for its caliber, and that you ought to get a G26 or Kahr instead. The SIG may have less power than the Micro-Nines, but it's easier to shoot well thanks to the full grip and the lower recoil.

I have the alloy 230 and it's by far my favorite SiG. Get a good pocket holster, I like the ones from High Noon and Lou Alessi, at it will become a constant companion. As others have said, it's an intuitive pointer and scary accurate.
Here is another vote of praise for the Sig P232. I have a blue alloy model and a stainless model. I wouldn't part with either but if I could only have one it would be the stainless model. A gem of a firearm. If it's like new as you say, the price sounds quite good.

Sig 232
I also have a Sig 230 in stainless. It's a great gun. The price you quote is very reasonable. I second all coments above.

You will be doing yourself, and your wallet a great diservice if you don't tcheck out one of the Bersa/Firestorm .380's also. They are about $130 less than that Sig. When we were looking for a gun for my wife, we tried out the Sig, and the Walther, and the Bersa, and went with the Bersa.
I'll admit, it might not be as pretty as the Sig, but it works just as good.

My wife is a .380 freak... she has a SIG 230 which she enjoys a lot, a Bersa Thunder and now a Walther PPK/S too.
The SIG felt very nice, while the Bersa is less expensive, a SIG is a SIG and it worth it from what I have seen.

I agree, that the SIG P232 makes for an excllent concealment
weapon. And like, Marko said, IMHO its the best of the
rest; as far as "blowback" .380's are concerned. One dealer
here locally, had the stainless model NIB for $469.95 just
recently. So, $389 for slightly used ain't too bad!

Will it chop your hand up like a 230. My 230 gave me bad slide bite, and I am hesitant to get a 232 if it does the same.

Nice pic, indeed.
If money is no issue, the Sig is definitely the best of the "ppk styled" .380's. That said, I agree with priv8ter that you should at least give the bersa thunder .380 a look. The Bersa has nothing on the Sig in the looks/finish department, but it is just as reliable at nearly half the price! Plus the bersa doesnt have the heel mag release.
Like others have said though, it is a Sig, and you wont regret the purchase. It surely is pretty!

How many lbs is the DA and the SA trigger pull on them?

The triggers on both my 230's are pretty light, both SA and DA, although I dont know what the actual weight is. I will say they are lighter by a lot, than any of my PPK's ever were, and all but a couple of worked revolvers I used to have. Even the DA triggers are a very nice "surprise" let off. Smooth with no crunch or creep. I hate DA pistols, and these are the only ones that I will have and carry.(my CZ70 doesnt count. There are not enough of us here to pull its trigger in DA! ) These little pistols are like 1911's, once you have one, you WILL have more than one, and you'll not get rid of them.

My regular gunshop has all three models in stock right now. SS, blue, and alloy.
Does anyone know what the warranty is on the alloy model? It felt great in my hand. Natural pointer. Beautiful pistol and perfect for carry. Lifetime warranty??? Somebody told me that~~even for the alloy framed model.

This is the warranty page from their web site. It says one year is all they offer. I will say that other than Colt, and HK, the SIGs are the only other pistols I never had to send back to have something fixed. For whatever thats worth.

The alloy model is the best option for carry. It weighs a scant 16 ounces unloaded. The steel frame adds durability, but it's also a good bit heavier. These guns are not multi-thousand round range guns, anyway.
The best of both worlds is actually the two-tone 232...stainless teel slide for corrosion resistance, and alloy frame for low weight *and* corrosion resistance. I don't really like two-tone guns, so I won't be swapping my blued 232 for one any time soon, but that's what I'd buy if I had to purchase a new one.
