I’ve had some Marvel conversations, in the past that would shoot several flavors of ammunition under an inch at 75 yards. I don’t THINK this is quite as accurate, but I don’t recall if I ever shot it at 50 yards🤔
Thats called a Rabbit & Squirrel thumper!! And if ever suppressed Zombie popper! Cool and fun round. 😎🍻
 
I remember the advertisements for those back in the '80s with the dude in a gray suit and the photo of the P230 in a briefcase. There was something cool about those and the oddball (to me back then) .380 caliber. Everything about it screamed discrete sophistication, and I was still years from being old enough to own one.

I moved around a lot in the Army throughout adulthood and only finally settled in a place where I could finally get something with the intent of carrying concealed at my last duty station. Going to a gun show with my buddy, I perused the tables looking for the P230, foolishly believing that they were still in production. Unsurprisingly to my current knowledge, there were none.

However, I immediately became enamored with the plethora of P238s and P938s on a couple of the tables. Their esthetic lines and theretofore unprecedentedly compact dimensions drew me in.

I got a P938. It's not a P230, but it has its own special aura. I eventually got a new Ft. Smith PPK/S when Walther restarted production of those, which somewhat scratched the P230 itch.
 
That there is one sexy little gun, sir! I just picked up a beautiful blued P230 made in 1988 only a few weeks ago. Seeing pics like this makes me sore tempted to send it in to have the slide and internals nickel plated like it’s bigger P22x cousins - the trigger is already quite outstanding and I expect a finish like CPII from Cummins would slick it up even more. And those Hogue G10’s rock as always, too.
