Considering a SIG

[macadore]

I Carried a 1911 for many years and then moved to the Glock 32. It seemed to have better ergonomics than the 1911 and I wanted a 357 SIG. No reason, I just wanted it.

Now I'm getting the itch for a 9x19 and there seem to be good deals on the SIG SP2022 Pro and the SIG 250 at the moment. I have heard good and bad about both. The main complaint I have read is that the trigger on the 250 is terrible. I have heard similar complaints, but to a lesser degree, about the 2022.

What have been your experiences with these models and how do they compare to the Glock compacts?

Thank.

I can't speak for the P2022, but I have a P250 and the trigger is one of the better DA triggers around. It's long, but has a predictable and crisp break, and is relatively light, for DA. Never had a FTF or FTE with it, either. As for how it compares to Glock, well it's more comfortable in MY hands, and has different grip sizes available in the Compact version, and is probably a tad slimmer. Trigger on the Glock will be easier to hit with if you don't practice with that long DA trigger, though.

I have a SP2022 in 9MM and just love it. SP2022s are generally known to have an excellent trigger right out of the box though the reset will not be as good as a Glock. Other than reset I have rarely heard of anyone complain about the trigger on a SP2022 - usually the opposite.

I have not experienced a single problem with mine with about 1500 rounds through it now.

The SP2022 however is on the heavy side for a poly pistol if that is a consideration for you.

As always it is best to at least handle and dry fire one and ideally try one out at the range before considering a purchase.

I'm not sure where you would have heard that either the Sig 250 or the SigPro 2022 have bad trigger, because that certainly has never been my experience, the general experience of Sigforum or students I have taught in classes.

Their main difference is the 2022's DA/SA trigger compared to the 250's DAO. The 2022 is known to have one of the best DA triggers of the regular pistols and the 250 is known to have the best DAO trigger on the line. Generally speaking, the 2022 is going to be more accurate; the 250 has a hard time staying inside 3" at 50 yards

I love my 229SCT.

We have just purchased a 2022. We've fired 290+ rounds of four different brands of ammunition through it with no problems.

It's more accurate than I am (operator error; I have no excuse for my poor performance. The wife knocks down tiny groups from 7 yds).

It's very easy to disassemble and clean.

The trigger is all the good things already said above.

Thanks everyone.

I can speak on the 2022.

I love it. I have it in .40. The gun feels like a gun, not a toy like the glock. I love shooting it. If you get one, i think you will have zero complaints.

If you like the Glock and your 1911, you are going to hate the P250. The pull distance feels like a mile long. It's not that heavy, but it's longer than the 7 mile bridge.

I guess you can get used to anything if you try, but I didn't want to try much more than once with a P250.


If you ask me, the SP2022 is a better gun. If those two are the choices, that's what I would pick.

9mm,
Out of the two choices which one would you prefer in your opinion?

If it were my money, I'd get the SigPro 2022. I've always been a sucker for shot placement.

I think the 250 really shines in a state that restricts the number of gun you can own...or at least makes it hard to get each one. The 250 has the advantage of using the same chassis (the serial numbered part) for 3 frame sizes and 4 calibers...in essence giving you 12 guns on one serial number
