Sig Sauer P230
« on: November 05, 2021, 06:25:34 AM »
I bought this small and cheap ($ 490) Sig Sauer P230 to add to my Lausanne, Vaud police accumulation (I already have a P220 and a S&W 39-2 which are police surplus). The particularity being the caliber, 9X18 police or ultra.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9×18mm_Ultra



Tosetti might be the name of the inspector who received the gun originally







The test target is dated June 19, 1980 and shows only three shots at only 10 m















The SV in the shield at the right of the serial number is for “Sureté Vaudoise”, i.e. Security police of the Vaud state







10 shots at 25 meters, the gun is quite accurate considering it’s size

Interesting variation of the Sig P230!  Hope that you don't have too much trouble getting Ammunition for it.  From what I have read .380 ACP loading dies will work reloading the 9x18mm Ultra.
I once had a chance on buying a Walther PP Super, but passed on it.
