Would you consider the Sig P232 a classic gun?

[ChefJeff1]

I'm thinking about a Sig P232 for my birthday. I want to get something classic and timeless, like me.

Also, any reason not to get one?

I like the stainless model and found one not too far away for $550.

Ay other ideas for a milestone birthday gun?

Ps...I accept birthday presents from forum members.

I really want one of those but with wood grips.

A SIG P-232 certainly has the pedigree and the design to be considered a classic gun. Add in a pair of Nil or Marschal wood grips and you have one very stylish looking SIG for a birthday present.

I own one in stainless. Yes, I'd call it classic even if relatively modern.

If "classic" means timeless beauty, great design and attraction akin to sexiness... then YES!



Beautiful, functional, well made and reliable. Much to like here.

Love the Sig 230/232 line.

NOPE !
The only classic SIG is the P210 and it's derivitives.

anything not made of plastic could be a classic gun IMHO and I like the P-232 so yes and it's one of a few new guns I'd be willing to buy.

Usp9.....nice pic. You're not helping my bank account very much.

It's got great styling, sig quality, and is probably easy shootin'. I need to go fondle it again.

Would you consider the Sig P232 a classic gun?

Absolutely! A true classic, that only enhances my rugged good looks when I wear it a Berns-Martin upside-down shoulder holster underneath my white dinner jacket whilst playing baccharat in a Monaco casino ...

Seriously though, it's probably the only pistol I ever bought based simply on my thinking it looked totally cool ... Wife loved its looks and ergonomics (until she shot it) ... I love SIGs, and this is simply the best-looking SIG ever; I just wish they'd make 'em in 9mm!

I just wish they'd make 'em in 9mm!

It, in P230 form, was made in 9mm Police (Ultra). Pretty rare though.

Good gun. I don't know that I'd call it a "Classic" just yet. To the extent that it resembles the Walther PP and PPK it has "Classic" good looks. But I'm not sure it's achieved the status to be a classic on it's own yet. Just my opinion.

Classic? No.

Classy? Definitely.

P230/p232

Don't forget to include the P230. I guess it could be considered somewhat more of a classic as it is the same basic pistol as the P232.

The P230 just came out a few years earlier and was available in calibers other than just .380. The P232 had a few "improvements" and arrived a little later.

It sure looks like a classic

 

[P7]

Yes. The same classic good looks of the PP series in a more reliable, up-to-date package.

What is the difference in the 230 and 232?

 

[Zaydok Allen]

Sure........... Buy it!

What is the difference in the 230 and 232?

The P232 is the evolution of the P230. The main changes are;
* Some small internal changes.
* Different grip panel style, yet still interchangable.
* Different slide serrations style.
* Sights changed from dot on dot to three dot.
* firing pin block safety added to P232.
* P230 chambered in .32, .380 and 9mm Police, P232 in .380 only.

That's all I can remeber.
