I have done my homework but I am still confused.

I am looking for a CCW pistol for a get home bag. I am looking at the Sig P232 and the walther PPK. I have a H&K P30 and I am just thinking of buying another one, its small enough I think. I have read alot online that the 380 round is good for up close self defense, but 9mm is the way to go. the reason I chose those 2 pistols is because they are known for their reliability.

    think again on the 232
    blowback kicks as hard at the .40 sigs, and it jams often.
    i would not trust one.
    they make so many good small 9mm now why buy an outdated design that is unpleasant and unreliable.
    and i love sigs.
    i do not have enough experience to comment on the walther

    if it is really for the mission you are claiming for buy a baby glock or xd
    literally 100% more effective

    those european heel mag releases also are useless in combat

    Just to throw another option in there, check out the (relatively) new Sig 238. It's similar to the colt mustang.

    I am not a glock fan I will look at the 238, the only reason I chose those 2 was for their size.

    I can't see leaving any of these out in a GHB.
    I'm digging those P238. Just think 380 is waste when 9mm is available in the same size package.

    For GHB to left in a vehicle, I rather keep a cheap 9mm or 9x18 gun in there.

    Small guns:
    9x18 - PA22
    9mm - Star BM

    Larger:
    Hi Power
    Ruger P series
    Ruger 357

    When living in IL, I kept either an older gen 2 Glock 17 or my Rock Island in my vehicle.

    you answered your own question! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my p30! So much so that the Kimber usually stays home.

    "I have a H&K P30 and I am just thinking of buying another one"

    You are familiar with it.

    Same mags.

    Interchange parts if needed.

    Keeping something cheap in case it gets stolen means when you are likely to need to bet your life on it, you have something undependable.

    my two cents (worth nearly .06 if pre-'82 copper[;)])
