I don't use the P-230 a lot. It's small and light enough to slip into a coat/jacket pocket, but too big for regular pants pocket carry. Went thru a phase when I decided I needed a .380. Choices were a lot more limited in '88. The new manufacture Walthers had the worst triggers I'd ever tried, wish I had come across a colt govt .380 but didn't, found the SIG's and went with that. Yes, blow-back,fixed barrel. SIG's answer to the PP/PPK family, but much better trigger. Bigger grip than current trends, but much better to get ahold of and control. Has only accounted for a couple of woodchucks. I believe main difference from the P-232 is the newer model was tweaked to work with hollow points better, although mine handles ball and rounded-profile hollow points just fine. Don't use +P ammo. If I want more power I'll pick a bigger gun.
