Sig Sauer P230

[OLIAR15]

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.

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

Very nice! It's a shame that this line of production was stopped.

Very cool. When I made Detective back in the day, I carried a stainless P230 as a back-up gun. To this day it was the most accurate pistol that I ever owned. Another one that I wish I'd never have let go....

Best of luck with the P230!
