So i just bought a Sig P230

Bluedragon · 08-15-2008

Yup just picked up a Sig P230SL in stainless in a trade actually.
It is a really nice gun. I have had the 380acp bug for quite some time, being I have never owned a 380 caliber handgun before. So I thought it was time to pick one up!
However it does give off some kick, I am not sure if thats because of the blowback design or the small size, but needless to say....I was surprised.
I have a question though regarding magazines. Would anyone know of where I could locate some of the original stainless mags with stainless base plates at the bottom?

Also whats a good holster to carry a 380 in?

p.s would also like to know good holsters for a Kahr K9 as well....Being thats the next compact pistol on my list.

The recoil is due to the blow back. You will get used to it. Most centerfire calibers are starting to all feel the same recoil-wise to me now. Except .40. .40 is still too snappy for me to shoot well for some reason.

I sometimes carry a p232 in a Milt Sparks VM-II. This combination makes the gun just disappear from a concealablity point-of-view.

I'm not wild about the gun, though. Ergonomics are wrong for me, and I get slide bite.

I carry my Kahr K9 in a Tucker HF-1.

Nice holster. But I must warn you I waited 8 months for delivery.
