Tried new pistol today, threw a wrench into my plans for next pistol purchase...

So, question regarding them: Have they proven to be good and reliable so far?

The retired LEO who lives across the street bought a LC9s Pro after falling in love with the size and general feel of my wife's LC380. He can't say enough good things about the gun - reliable, easy to shoot, no manual safety, no mag safety, very concealable, inexpensive, excellent Ruger's support if needed, etc. His only complaint has been that the recoil spring is very strong, making it hard to drop the slide with the slide lever (he is left-handed). My only complaint is that the trigger safety feels even more awkward to me than most such dinguses do on other guns.

Good luck determining what models are current from SIG's new website.
Here are some centerfire P250 models that ARE listed on SIG's new website: Full-size; Compact; Sub-Compact.

That's interesting. Any official word from Sig on the 250?

Not that I am aware of.

I have the P-250 in .380. (All of my semis are in .380) The trigger is "buttery smooth" and the magazine holds 15 rounds with one in the chamber. The long DAO trigger should be pulled in two stages. Pull it to the point to just before it breaks, then hold on target and fire the gun. It is a much more accurate way to fire this pistol. Turns out that the .380 variety is a bit harder to find. Given the same bullet capacity most shooters would opt for the 9mm. My policy is to stick to one caliber of semi ammo just to simplify things. My revolver is a .327 - and it shoots several cartridges and covers a lot of needs. My EDC gun is a Sig P-238.

Is the .327 still pretty easy to find these days? You don't hear much about them. I thought it was a pretty good idea when it came out, I wouldn't totally rule one out even now if the ammo is decently available.

I second the suggestion of the Ruger sr9c! Before you buy anything try one. I went to Bass Pro and looked and held one and loved it. Went some place else and bought it for $90. less. GREAT gun!

Thanks for the reply, but I honestly don't care for the Sr9's. The trigger is not really to my taste. My former neighbor had one, and it wasn't awful or anything, but not my favorite. I do find it strange though that I like the Sig P250 DAO trigger better than the Sr9 striker fired design. BTW, they are on sale at a LGS for a wonderful price.

the p250 is on its way out the door. that will leave you with the p320 which I hear is an outstanding gun.As for me I would lean toward the springfield xd series of guns. Have a great time checking them out and finding the gun for you.

There 's a difference between SR9C and SR9. Those that have had the latter have said that the triggers are some what to very different depending on individual experience. If you google it you'll see accounts of the owners and those that have shot them both. Do what you wnat of course but don't just focus on one area. I was looking for the longest time till I happened to try one and I was sold and am not sorry. Find a range that has one and try it and the others that you are considering.
