Sig P232/230 Emergency Action Drills???

Because I don't want the whole world to know I'm a cop or carrying armed. It's for my own officer safety and safety of my family when I'm with them.

In my state, getting a CCW is very hard. With that said if someone were to see me armed because I didn't conceal my weapon well, a reasonable person could assume I was a cop....that includes the bad guys. Now they know who I am but I have no idea who they are or that they might want to do me or my family harm.

Why would I want to put myself out like that and possibly attract problems? If I'm going to get involved in something, I want the element of surprise, not the other way around.

The reason I decided to carry the 232 is mostly because I can't, in good conscience, leave the house without a gun, but sometimes don't feel like going through the hassle of finding the right cloths to conceal a full size pistol. Especially for a quick trip to the grocery store or something. To do it right, it does require some thought and pre-planning.

The 232 is so small, I can slip it into a pocket if I'm really in a hurry and it satisfies my need to be armed.

Does that make better sense?

That's one way to look at it. Another way to look at it is that if the bad guys know you're armed, they're likely to not mess with you, and instead go mess with someone who is unarmed.

In any event, I was just curious. I've always been curious why some cops care about printing when off duty. Honestly, if my state had open carry, I would not care at all about printing.
 
The Sig Sauer P232 is one of the most unreliable guns on the market. It jams because there is no shell retainer in the breech face, so the shell never sees the ejector, but rather falls the magazine well.

The P230 was an excellent gun, but the p232 is an unreiable and dangerous pistol to have as a backup.
 
Still at skunk? What do you do, search out every P232 thread you can find, and just post the same old thing? :rolleyes:

Have you got your P232 back form SIG yet?
 
The p232 is an unreliable and dangerous pistol to have as a backup. I am hoping Sig will recall the P232. The problem on the breech face must be addressed.
 
The replies are actually below an actual skunk level. Getting a question answered is like pulling teeth. :rolleyes:

SKUNK! THIS IS AT YOU.......

DID YOU GET THE GUN BACK FROM SIG YET?!?! :banghead:
 
Lonestar49: I have had the same experience with failures to feed in my 232after about 125 rounds. However, if I wipe the feedramp after every 100 rounds, no problems at all. As for skunk's general condemnation of the 232, it appears he is basing his criticisms on his experience with one 232.

My sig 232 is the latest and quality control has plumetted at the Sig Factory ... Hopefully the latest run of P232s will be recalled
