JamesDP230 barrel spec
- I am looking to find out the diameter of the P230 barrel at the muzzle.
I'd be much obliged to anyone who could supply this information.

My copy is a West German, serial number S149xxx. I'm getting .469 at the muzzle. However, there is a variance of .003 between the measurement from 9 to 3 o'clock and 12 to 6 o'clock. FWIW, I'm seeing some variance further back toward the chamber. Given that the gun has a fixed barrel, I don't think that Sig was too concerned over a slightly loose slide to barrel fit. Then again, my trusty Rockler calipers circa 2007 may be off.
I hope that helps.

JamesD -Max,
Thanks for your reply.
A little Makarov project I am on got me started on this.
I measure the Makarov at the muzzle to be .505.
The shop drawings might well spec this at .500, eh?
Hmmm...
Given that MY caliper measurements will sometimes drift around a bit, maybe
- I will thank you for your data point √
- but still ask any other P230 owners to add their data!
Thanks again Max.

P.S. Ain't it grand to be able to engage in little quirky stuff like this?

Blume9mmMy safe queen that has been bead blasted by CCR is around .472"
The one I carried for years and still do when walking the dog is the same.
