Sig P250

[scurtis_34471]

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a Sig P250 9mm Compact. It will be used mostly for IDPA, pin shooting, target practice and possibly as a bedside table gun. I doubt I'll actually carry it much, as I prefer my little Kahr for that. I already own a CZ PO-1 and an XD-40 Service in addition to the Kahr P9 Covert.

Any thoughts on the P250? I found it for $482 at Bud's, which seems like a VERY good price.

Its an okay gun. The DOA trigger is very long. Some people think it is heavy but mine was not. It is an accurate pistol for its size. IMHO the modular nature of the pistol is a failure. They are not selling well. There were initial reports that there were feeding and extraction issues. The one I had ran 100% during my ownership but I sold it. It was not better than my Glock 19.

Mags are expensive. If you get a gun with only one mag call Sig and they will send you another.

IMHO the P01 is a much better gun. If you are looking for a polymer Sig the SP2022 is a better gun.

Only for new guns, I suppose

No Call if you bought one when they they were only shipping with one. They will still get you another one.

I am trading an XD-40 Subcompact that I never use for it. I like the modular concept. Why do you think it is a failure? Are the parts just too expensive or is it something else?

I figure I can always trade it or sell it if I don't like it, since I'm getting it relatively cheaply. The trade is only going to cost me about $80 + shipping and transfer. If I don't like it, I will probably trade it toward an XDm.

It is too expensive to swap out the frames. Frames are about $50.

Caliber changes cost over $350 even more for 45 ACP.

No one is using them because of the cost.

I guess at this point, I'm just assuming that I can't lose money at $482 with night sights.

Any concept designed to be everything for everybody is usually not good at anything. Get a pistol designed to do one job and do it well.

I have one and absolutely love it - it's now one of my primary 2 CCWs.

Mine has been flawless. It's proven to be very reliable, accurate, eats all sorts of ammo, fits my hand very well and I like having, what, 17 9mm rounds available if needed.

The odd thing is I really don't like Sigs that much. I have many of their models (just because I collect) and the only two I really ever cared for were the P220 and the P232, until the P250 came out.

The trigger on mine is 5# on the button. I don't consider the travel to be too long, but that's just me. The whole modular idea hasn't ever really appealed to me and I can't imagine I'll ever change anything about this particular gun.

If you get it and don't like it, you shouldn't have a problem "unloading" it and getting something else.

Personally, I'd go for it.

I hope this helps.
