SIG-Sauer P230

The SIG-Sauer P230 is a compact semi automatic pistol usually chambered for the .380 ACP cartridge. It was originally also available in .32 ACP, but this chambering was eventually dropped. It is available in both blued, Stainless Steel and Two-Tone versions. The P230 was manufactured by SIG between 1977 and 1996. The P230 stopped production in 1996, having been replaced by the SIG P232 (an updated version of the P230 with adjustable rear sights and slight changes in frame, slide and barrel, as well as also reintroducing the .32 ACP chambering).

The SIG-Sauer P230 pistol and variants can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:
