Did I Miss Something?
Yesterday I sold a pistol and the guy had a stainless P232 he wanted me to buy. Although it felt good in my hand I was not interested as I have a new P238 and will not use the .380 for anything but plinking and to shoot varmints around my house and the occassional times I cant cc anything else. Anyway, he wanted $500 and he indicated the value was more as it was a German made gun............I ignored this because I felt that was not a good deal. On my way home I started thinking about it some. I don't remember seeing Exeter, NH stamped on the pistol. It did have the usual Kurz 9mm on it.
Sometimes I buy neat guns and shoot them for awhile and then sell them with a little profit built in. It gives me a chance to experience a lot of different guns. Did I miss a good deal?

What you may have missed is the chance to own a truely superlative, world class pistol. IMHO, one of the best designs for perfect ergonomics ever. Last edited by PSP; October 4, 2012 at 07:10 AM. |

I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it. That price is not a screaming deal by any means.
Also I personally have never been that blown away by the excellence of the P230/232 either. I actually had a Bersa that outshot the P232 I rented, and the Bersa felt better also, with less recoil and a better grip. The P232 is an old blowback design, way more recoil for its size than a more modern gun would have. I bet the P238 has less felt recoil. I know a Kahr P9 is much nicer to shoot, and that's a 9mm Luger. |
