Right? Going rate is much higher these days, especially on the nickel ones. I had no idea I'd accumulated that many, honestly. I've cleaned out old guns stores all over the east coast in my travels. Might have more $$ in mags than hosts for them.

To me the P230/P232 is the prettiest Sig ever made, there’s just something about it that is different and more beautiful than every other Sig out there.

I have a west german P230SL KD that was a police turn in and I put hogue checkered G10s on it. This pistol Will always be in the carry rotation. Prettiest Sig I own and probably one of the last pistols I would ever part with along with a P225

I also have one of those beauties that I would love to shoot, but I can't find any ammo that it will eat.

Beautiful pistols! Love my P232.

My first Sig and the one gun I'll never sell.

I had no idea it was out there. I'll never forget seeing one in the used case....stopped me in my tracks. "Is that really a Sig?" I asked the guy behind the counter.

And, here we are....a few years later and a mini-obsession over them.

I have several PP variants now and the 230's are the most refined.

They have such fluid and graceful lines.

Mine now is wearing Crimson Trace grips I came across NIB for $50. A good reason to take it to the range next time.

The P230 and P232 is probably why I despise the look of a Glock.... rounded edges are much better looking as well as functional than those square boxes...

I have a stainless P230 I bought new in the early 90s. I used to shoot it a lot! Then, put away. Recently I have again been shooting the 380 cartridge and re-loving the P230 but with a shooting glove because love bites.
