Early P230s will be the most difficult, as they almost needed a round nose profile to feed properly, which in that time period was Remington ammunition, including the Golden Saber 102 grain.
For those of you who like the SIG SAUER P230 pistol, I have just uploaded a two part video that describes fully the complete disassembly and reassembly of this handgun.

When Sig came out with the P232 they said that there were around 60 or so changes/improvements made from the previous P230. Most noticeable were the external changes such as slide serrations, addition of 3 dot sights, more rounded fuller grips, and lately Sig lite night sights.

P230 Problem. I have owned my P230 for around 15 years, and am embarrassed to say, I always thought that it designed that the first round was to be fired in SA. I am the second owner.
