While I fully agree with going to the more potent caliber, your post did ask for information concerning the Walther and the SIG P230. I have owned both (several Walthers) and two SIG P230s. I shot all. I currently own one German Walther PP in .380 and the blued lightweight version SIG-Sauer P230. No Walther I've ever fired hit point of aim; they consistently hit high in .380, but dead on in .32acp. Having fleshy hands, I get "slide bite" if I'm not very careful. The P230, however, hits dead on and the slide bite is not a problem. It is larger. Its DA pull is longer, but smoother in my experience and my P230s have never malfunctioned, something I cannot say about the Walthers. In my experience, the German/French Walthers tend to work better than the American ones. That said, a trusted friend has a stainless PPK that works fine. I guess I prefer the SIG-Sauer were I forced to carry a .380acp, but I like the "looks," "class," and feel of the Walther PP better. Best.
