It has no external safeties, though it does have a de-cocking lever positioned just above the right-handed shooter's thumb, on the left side of the grip. The double-action pull is longer and more stiff. Pulling back the slide sets the hammer backwards and downwards to its single-action position, making for a very short trigger pull, with minimal take-up. The trigger comes from the factory with a 24 newtons (5.5 lbf) single-action pull, and is capable of both single-action and double-action. Both versions came with a molded polymer, wrap-around grip that is contoured to give the shooter a comfortable and secure hold on the pistol. The blued version features a blued steel slide and a matching, anodized aluminum frame, whereas the stainless version was completely made from stainless steel. The P230 was available in both blued and all-stainless finishes. With its relatively narrow slide and frame it can be carried in an ankle holster or beneath body armor. It has a reputation as a well-built firearm, and competes with the smaller Walther PPK. The design and function of the P230 is of the simple fixed barrel, straight blow-back configuration.
