Made in Germany and import-marked EXETER, NH, this P232 carries DE proof marks and "MADE IN GERMANY" rollmarks. The case label corresponds to mfg. part number 232-380-B and is dated July 30, 2008, aligning with the stated year of manufacture. U.S. imports of the P232 concluded in the mid-2010s, placing this example firmly within the model’s later import period.
The pistol uses a straight-blowback action with a fixed barrel in .380 ACP, contributing to a consistent shooting character. It features a DA/SA trigger system with a frame decocking lever and no manual thumb safety. Safety features include an automatic firing pin lock, a disconnector, and a hammer intercept notch.
Its configuration pairs a blued slide with a black aluminum-alloy frame. The slide has vertical rear-only serrations and an anti-glare longitudinal rib. Sights are fixed: a blade front and a notch rear, with a 4.7 in sight radius for a clean sight picture.
Controls follow a classic European layout with a heel-release magazine catch. Capacity is 7+1 using single-stack magazines. Dimensions are compact, with an approximate overall length of 6.6 in, height of 4.7 in, and width of 1.2 in. Black textured polymer wrap-around grips with the SIG SAUER logo provide a secure hold.
