Sig Sauer P232 / P230 .380 review concealed carry

[ThePiagent]

Lady, pay no attention to the negative comments, great video!!! some people just have too much time on their hands.

[arinkromas]

Are you really using a really ammos in this vdo,, not recommended.

Thanks for the nice vdo.

[Slapchop8]

You should NOT use FMJ's or Full metal jacketed rounds for DEFENSE. these bullets can exit an attacker and continue to another target! the point of a bullet stopping in the body you intended it to is for it not to continue to an UNINTENDED target! Hope this helps some of you.

[JLo45LC]

People can't help but show off their knowledge by nit-picking everything; Ok,we get it,you know specific terminology...Whoop-Dee-Doo!

I put those little shiny bullet thingies in the stick that goes in the handle of my hand pistol and then I pull back on the finger thing inside the small ring and it makes a loud bang sound.

Sometimes I see pieces of yellow metal flying out to the side...must be gun parts breaking off from the big back jerk I feel every time the gun makes sparky, flashy, bangs.

[Cj816]

SOOO.... I couldn't help but notice you didn't have a ring on your finger.. ; )

[PersonalityDeficit87]

Nice review. By the way the mag release being located on the heel of the pistol is known as a 'European style' mag release. Just thought you'd like to know =)

[MstangMch4]

Now Eve, if that had been a Sig P238 .380, I think I'd be in love with you. As my regular pocket carry gun is a Sig P238.

[lovesigsauer]

I tried the P232 in 2010 Summer, It was accurate and light weight. It is a good gun. Hope Sig will produce a version for 9mm soon.

[MrSteveb1]

Great choice in a personal defense firearm. I carry the P229 in 357 Sig, I also have a .40 calibre barrel for it. Make sure you practice with it on a regular basis. The CT grips are a great choice. I am considering a small 380 or 9MM for carry when its not reasonable to carry my P229. Stay safe.... God Bless.....

[sportcrazy1231]

hehe u sedd pp... and coockrelease.. lol

[vincehollaway]

Since it's been over 6 months, how do you still like the Sig?

[eddiegee90]

i recomend any good quality hallow point over FMJ.. or you can go with Bulldog defense which is a EFMJ its a FMJ round that expands kinda like a hallow point but its not hallow its a kool and effective round.. FMJ is designed for range and target shooting in my opinion

[eddiegee90]

I found the video interesting but i do how ever feel ur info on the ammo is a bit incorrecct hornady critical defense is better than any fmj ammo.. simply because it was designed for personal protection, its designed to flower and expand leaving a larger wound with out exiting the attacker. Say you were to shoot an attacker with a FMJ round the round would not leave a larger wound and it will pass all the way through ur attacker and strike anyone or anything behind him/her

[MRLUGNUTS]

I like the video. I know you aknowlaged you made a couple of mistakes... but keep doing them . You showed me something about that gun that i would not have kown without going to the gun shop. It's nice to see that, women love thier guns to...

[Flashvette]

I owned a Sig Sauer P230 back in 1987. Great gun. I had the stainless model. Sometimes the edge of the slide would bite your hand while shooting. I also own a Sig Sauer P226. Intimidation and not using the gun is a good thing. I just want to tell you what I tell my wife. Dont ever freeze up and let your attacker get that gun away from you. If he does, he will kill you with it. Good lawful people like yourself should live. The bad guys go down. I hope you carry it everyday. Good video.Stay safe.

[TheMaddogmccree]

you're dangerous girl....try a dildo it's more safer

[o29mike]

I think I am in Love...(With the girl, and the gun)

[DerMoerder1]

Very Nice Review

[iamstarstuff001]

Mine is very accurate.

[elmajiko420]

great video.

[pushya1008]

It is a neat looking gun. I really enjoy it when people also take the gun to the range and shoot it. I like to hear about how easy or hard the trigger pull is, how the trigger breaks, how you like the sights, how comfortable it feels in your hand, all the stuff that I can't learn about it unless I'm there. I also like it when the poster at least comments on how easy or hard disassembling and re-assembling is, especially if it can be really hard (like the Ruger 22/45 Mk. iii). Thanks!

[pushya1008]

Nice vid, good job, thanks!

[pwchesser]

I love My Sig 232, Very nice review.

[FlyingPancreas]

Nice pistol. I want one. I'm a little bit surprised by your comments on accuracy. First, any well-made pistol will always be infinitely more accurate than the shooter. Also, a friend had a Sig P230 years ago, and I found it to be one of the most easily controllable pistols I've ever fired. But that is very subjective, I guess. Good vid.

[Bladdy06]

Its great to see more women using their second amendment rights and choosing to concealed carry. Love the weapon choice as well!

[gabe200027]

I have a question about your Crimson Trace Lasergrips. On mine the laser is really dim after a lot of use, even after I replace the batteries. I was wondering if you have the same problems? I have a video posted on my P232 but I do not address the laser issues. I look forward to your response. Thanks!

[DanOrtego]

Nitpicking aside, I thought it was a pretty good home video. However, I would not use live rounds for instructional use in the home.

Regards,

[nate7181]

Nice Sig, I enjoy my p229 9mm

My wife actually had a ton of trouble racking the slide on my sig, so she ended up getting a Double Action revolver/

I hadn't heard of using Full Metal Jacket as a self defense round, it is a good point though that the soft points and hollow points that may not expand with the small .380 round

[devcon67]

First off, nice P232 (I'm a Sig fan). Please never think that a laser or just the sight of a gun will deter someone. If you think that way, you might as well throw milk duds at them. If you're forced to show your weapon, figure that you will need to use it (eg: shoot a person). If you can't bring yourself to shoot another person in self defense, don't carry a gun since it may just get taken away from you when you hesitate and used against you.

[MrJmfitch]

I think it is silly everyone gets upset about clip Vs magazine. Any IDIOT would know what you are talking about. Obsessive compulsive people that feel they need to correct everything and everyone.... annoy the heck out of me and are usually pretty jacked up in many aspects. Anywho, a great first review. Stick with it

[male2205]

Please don't do another review using live rounds....when you were unloading the gun, I almost passed out here, LOL

Other than that, congrats!

[SUPERMAN60440X]

The lady has a Sig nice but dont call it a clip its a magazine

[tokentreez]

may i suggest for future demonstrations and your safety, that the next time you want to demonstrate loading a chamber with a round that you use a snap cap or other inert round. also the regarding your choice of round, i suggest doing some more research on the type of round you carry.i dont know the grain load or wound ballistics of a .380 but your idea of using fmj rounds now means if your rounds go through someone then they can keep going and damage other people/ objects nearby. thumbs up!

[fizk]

Why did you choose the Sig Sauer P232 / P230 over the Walther PPK? Thanks for the review.

[LamboidSuture]

Awesome vid, but I have some advice. FMJs can tend to over-penetrate, even with such a small caliber. How thick is the average burglar? probably not obese, right? Chest to back, I am only ~8", maybe less. If someone of my stature was shot with a .380 FMJ, the bullet -could- pass straight thru me, and into anyone standing behind me (such as a family member in another room). I would rather have to shoot twice than worry about hitting an unintended target. Just food for thought!!

[heinketup]

I have seen videos of hornady not expanding, you should look into Federal HydraShok .380 for consistency in hollow point performance.

[zk360]

Awesome video! Handled brothers Sig P232 yesterday and fell in love. Hope to purchase one! Something you might want to try, its much easier to chamber a round if you cock the hammer first then pull the slide back and decock. :)

Looking forward to more reviews!!!

[abafrank07]

it's a free country, call it a clip all day. Don't listen to these know it alls. They can't even wipe their own rear ends. probally living in their moms basement of a double wide.

[PersonalityDeficit87]

@abafrank07 It's not being a "know it all" you ignorant dumbass. A clip is a metallic container that strips off rounds into a bolt action rifle, M1 Garand or a Mauser C96. A magazine is a container for rounds that you actually insert into the butt of a firearm. Therefore you can't confuse the terms as they're literally not interchangeable, you fucking retard.

[Wabaanimkii]

Hahaha well alright than.

[77killerbrian]

nice vid, keep it up!!

[free2game]

Those hollowpoints were tested with an average penetration of 11.4" in ballistics gel which is just .6" short of the FBI recommended level of 12" of penetration. Which makes it pretty adequate in a defensive firearm. If you look on the website brassfetcher they have ballistics gel tests of most popular .380 ammo.

[Wabaanimkii]

Gun terminology is a bit off but oh well. Sig makes good guns and when I turn 21 I plan on using that as my carry piece

[eveeverett]

@Wabaanimkii With all the criticism for using clip instead of mag, and bullet instead of round, I'll get better. Won't be making those slips anymore.

[professorgentzel]

Nice review on a great pistol. The Sig P232 is my carry piece, and it conceals very well. With regards to the ammo choices, I keep it loaded with 95 gr. FMJ rounds. I know it will feed the FMJ reliably 100 %. Various hollowpoint 380 rounds have either failed to expand in various tests, or expanded and didn't penetrate much, or may jam up the gun. The most important things are that you have a gun when you need it and you can reliably hit what you are aiming at.

[p0pgunp00h]

Great Review! Thanks for sharing ;)

[32swimbird32]

she know exactly what she is talking about. if you carry a .380 you want a full metal jacket. the soft and hollow tip .380 rounds dont penetrate enough to do damage. its like a .22 cal......most of the damage is going to be the penetration not the expansion of the projectile. i always use FMJ in my "carry" fire arms. mostly because i know they will go bang when i pull the trigger. good ammo is reliable ammo.

[eveeverett]

@UR1Gooddog tried it you're right!!



[ross512009]

I don't care if a gun is sexy I am not into having sex with guns however if I heard u right u said it was a 9mm but I think it is a .380 smaller caliber bullet. I would like this gun better if it had a rail for a light as I prefer green lasers and crimson trace still does not make green lasers. I do like the mag release in the bottom as u will not accidentaly hit it but it makes changing clips harder. Do u know if this gun comes in .40 caliber?

[gumarro72]

Nice video. Remember, the bullet is the tip of the round. Round is a more correct term because it includes the case, the primer and the bullet.

[eveeverett]

@gumarro72 You are soo correct, I get into bad habits and need to correctly call it a round. A bullet is just the tip.

[eveeverett]

@gumarro72 I've been schooled but many many people on that. I won't make that mistake again.

[hydrashok556]

Fiocchi loads a pretty hot and accurate .380 FMJ, if you are still considering switching to FMJ for defense.

I've noticed Remington/UMC .380 FMJ tends to be underpowered, so I wouldn't trust it for anything but punching paper.

[FateofDestinee]

Nice review :] I'm a fan of the Sigs too.

[friskyrabbit]

I'm just here for the hot chicks but I think you have your ballistic information a little backwards.

[eveeverett]

@friskyrabbit I'm always learning, educate me.

[friskyrabbit]

@eveeverett

You and me both. lol While it's true a FMJ will penetrate deeper than a hollow point that isn't necessarily what you want. I think you're under estimating the expansion aspect of a hollow point which is specifically designed to cause maximum tissue damage. Hornady would be a nasty little round to get shot with. On the other hand a FMJ round will make a clean puncture type wound and probably over-penetrate which puts you at risk of shooting your neighbors. Check out tnoutdoors9's cha

[sinajg]

I agree with Mrexitusactaprobat, but I have one additional criticism: Please refrain from using the term "clip" when you are referring to a magazine. As an instructor it's a real pet peeve.

[eveeverett]

@sinajg Yes, a clip isn't a magazine. I'll start using the correct terms.

[ryanjcus]

Also... keep with the hollow points. Yes ...they are expensive, but they are brutal. You don't want FMJ.. Full metal Jacket. They are less effective to stopping a threat, and could possibly kill an innocent. They over penetrate. I have countless real life vids I could show you. You are right on with the ammo you already have. Hollow point opens like a flower and creates a devistating wound cavity. Just look it up. Great vid though. 100% support

[ryanjcus]

Hey, Excellent video! We need more good law abiding ppl like you carrying. Great Job!

[stomptomybeat03]

Yes, that gun is sexy! I also carry the P232 with hornady critical defense.

[LadyGardenHoe]

Yes, I love Sigs, and that one is sexy. Nice first video for your new channel! I can't wait to see more.

[eveeverett]

@LadyGardenHoe I think we should collaborate!!

[eveeverett]

@LadyGardenHoe I think we should collaborate!!

[LadyGardenHoe]

@eveeverett Oh yes, I definitely think the two of us could make a great team. I have a lot to learn, but we could be like a girl duo with guns.

[jaguarpaw46]

Hey you fish for something and you have a sense of humor ...perfect enough.

[201011111]

Nice review.

Thanks for sharing!

[Mrexitusactaprobat]

Not bad for your first video. I do have a couple of suggestions. You may want to include info about capacity , the DA/SA feature, and most important what you experienced while firing at the range. You did talk about accuracy, but you may want to talk about recoil management and how effective you were at getting fire down range on your target. Also, you may want to demonstrate how you conceal carry your firearm.

And just one more thing...have you considered the P239? It's a 9mm.

[eveeverett]

@Mrexitusactaprobat I plan on doing a couple of installments on target practice and accuracy, hope you'll check back in in a couple of weeks. I'll have it posted by then.

[jaguarpaw46]

Woman and guns if she fishes she's the perfect woman.

I like the way she says decocker

[eveeverett]

@jaguarpaw46 The only thing I fish for is crawfish, and they just mosey into the trap. Don't even have to fish for them. Sorry to disappoint. I am not the perfect woman. :P
