You can try epoxying a rod onto the stationary side, with a binary cement like JB Weld. That may give you enough leverage to turn it. Another option would be to drill into the stationary side and tap in an Eazy-out or bolt extractor.
The P230 was introduced in 1977 and ceased production in 1996. That was 28 years ago. Do you expect Ford to parts on hand for a car made in 1996? Also, SIG Sauer is not the same SIG of today. Company completely moved across the pond to the US and fled Germany. The tooling, staff, and literal building where the P230 was made was in Germany. That's all gone.
I didn't junk my P230SL, I simply purchase another one for donor parts.
I just have parts on hand for mine. Same goes for my older S&W revolvers. Big Blue isn't really stocking parts for a 1981 made no dash 686.
The P230 is much better than my Walther PPK. But then again, you're talking about two pistols that were designed 48 years apart.I didnt have to junk either of the couple Ive had, but they were basic P230's. Is this a "SL" issue?
The one in the holster was traded off a few years back. I still have the one below it. Never had any issues with either of them.
Great guns too. In their time, they were the ones to get. My PPk's weren't around long after getting my first P230. Shot better, handled recoil much better, sweet DA triggers, and no more bloody hands while shooting them.
