Sig P250

[CHL/LEO]

I was wondering if anyone on here has any experience with Sig's new P250? I've read several posts on Sig related forums and watched a few videos about it - it seems very interesting.

After watching the following video CLICK HERE it looks to me that with just one "gun purchase" or "firearm transfer" you would have a weapon system that could be converted into multiple size frames and calibers. I guess this would be like buying a Glock 17 and then having the ability to change it out to a G19 or G26, and also have it in 9mm, 40 cal and 357 Sig, with only the purchase of any necessary parts.

You can also go to You-Tube and type Sig P250 in the search engine and watch some videos about it.

Thanks for your feedback.

I don't remember if it's in the other thread that DoubleJ links to, but forum member and Frisco FFL zeroskillz got several in when they were released in November, so you might want to PM him.

They do look interesting, and I'm thinking about getting one at some point.

I fondled one and shot a second copy a few weeks ago. My honest opinion is that I think it’s a neat idea but a bad execution on Sigs part. The first thing that stood out to me was the fact they use the same magazine release found in the Sig Pro pistols. And for that reason alone, I can’t recommend this pistol.

The magazine catch itself is all plastic. That fact by itself isn’t a deal breaker as Glock pistols also have plastic magazine catches. What is a problem is the catch has a small plastic retainer tab that users can remove for the purpose of reversing the magazine catch. My problem comes with the fact that I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve seen this tab inexplicably leave the gun. When it happens, the magazine catch will not retain a magazine nor will the catch itself remain in the gun. A gun with no source of ammunition is a brick.

My second problem with the same I used was the trigger was nothing like a DAK trigger and more like the old “flat revolver� triggers used in early DAO Sigs. On top of this, the trigger failed to reset several times during slow fire drills. The trigger return stopped a few millimeters short of completely resetting the system and so all I had was a dead lever. Racking the slide cleared the problem but that was not an acceptable performance on a new gun. More than likely, this problem was unique to the copy I handled. Still, the flat revolver type trigger is not something I recommend. There is a reason everyone eventually abandoned that non-sense the first time around.
