Not sure it was a cultural thing. I have a 232 in 7.62, never fired, without the Japanese enhancements. | |||

You mean 7.65? 7.65mm is .32 ACP | |||

I've shot the .380, and like most .380 blowback guns I thought it kind of "meh". But one of these in .32...that I could get excited about! It is indeed a sexy pistol, and would make a really nice companion to my Beretta 81. | |||

Just to remind y'all and brag... you could have had one, albeit in .380, right here last year... auctioned off on this site. the one I posted a picture of on the previous page is nicely snuggled away in a safe but my 'working' one goes with me and the dogs every once and a while on our daily walks.

My P232 all stainless steel soaks up the recoil of the 380 nicely, although it is a little snappy. Now, I've never fired the alloy framed version in either caliber but am certain the 32 would be more pleasant than the 380 in that setup. | |||

Have you tried the Hogue rubber wrap-around grips w/finger grooves ? They are on all my 232's that I carry or range shoot, huge difference. | |||

I actually have the Hogue checkered black shiny aluminum grips on mine. They look outstanding! | |||

I have the Hogue checkered aluminum grips as well. They look and feel outstanding. Plus, they do not add any unnecessary bulk to the gun. | |||

The stainless one I carried for years came with Hogue grips and so I never had a chance to compare the difference between them and factory. Now it has a set of Crimson Trace Grips with laser, which feel and are pretty much the same. The one I got from here with the wood grips I won't change out and actually have never shot and don't plan to. My Native American Name: "Runs with Scissors" | |||

Not all of us think the heel plate mag release is a BAD thing. Instead, some prefer it. Tango Alpha Leather Goods | |||

On small frame semi's for concealed carry iprefer it. The 230/232 pistols are one the most snag free pistols out there. | |||

I too am with you guys preferring the heel mag release on the 230/232. That mag stays fully seated with that setup. Same with the Makarov. | |||

The heel mag release doesn't bother me on a gun like the 230/232. There are some advantages, the principle one being there is no way someone is going to drop that mag unintentionally. The 230/232 is from a place and time where it was considered highly improbable a policeman would be engaged in a high volume firefight with his service pistol. I've been fortunate to own a few 230 and 232s. They are indeed beautiful guns. Their triggers and ergonomics put them at the top of their class but if someone favored the Beretta 84/85 series I would not argue. | |||

Super sexy guns but it’s impressive how far that we’ve come forward in design that the 365 is smaller and carries more of a bigger caliber although not as sexy… and then you have the LCP2 which is about the size of a 21a… still there is something to say about classic and beautiful guns. | |||

The 230/232 was usually the bug. Not service pistol {many rode in ankle holsters}This message has been edited. Last edited by: roym, | |||

I own Walther PP's, Sig P230's, Beretta 81/84/85m CZ83's, etc. I love them all. They're just the perfect mid-frame size....point naturally in hand | |||

Geno, I've never heard of a P232 in 7.65, only the 230. Is the slide marked P230 or P232? | |||
|
Member |
Slide is 232 and common in Germany at the time. | |||

I've been researching ever since I saw this. Thank you for responding. If you still have it, I would be interested in purchasing it off you if its ever for sale! | |||
