Sig 250

Post by John Galt »

I am curious if anyone here has had any experience with one, and what their opinion is.

I have one in .40cal. Compact

I like it, but I carry my PX4 Storm more.

I have the 250 compact and I can say that it is my favorite shooting gun as well as the least expensive one that I own. It is kept in the nightstand these days as I carry a 938 for the size and weight reductions. It has over 18k rounds through it and is still going strong. I did replace the recoil spring. My favorite part is the DAO trigger, it is smooth as glass and breaks constantly in the same place, very easy to master. I have sold off other handguns, the 250 is one I will always own, I like it that much......

I understand what you say about the 938 as I have one and it is an easy pocket fit.

I have shot one once, a few years ago, in 9mm. It was a decent pistol. You might take a look at the P320, which carries the idea of the P250 to its logical conclusion. The P250 allows you to change frames. The P320 allows you to change frames and calibers. The "gun" is the serial numbered insert that is removable without tools. They're not even that expensive.

I checked one out at a gunshow on Saturday, and one of those is in my future.

I actually purchased a 320 a couple months back and have since put about 2000 rounds through it. Considered the 250 forever and the striker fire part of the 320 sealed the deal for it. Great gun imo, easy to disassemble to clean, and never had one issue with my reloads. It's my go to range gun now, I used to debate between my xdm and p226 but I just really like this gun.

I forgot to add to my post that the P320 was striker-fired instead of hammer-fired.....but yes, it is. As a result, the bore axis sits a little lower than with the P250, although it still isn't as low as some other striker-fired pistols like Glocks and M&Ps.

yup one of these is in my future, it looks like an amazing striker fired pistol and I really like the size of the compact and the ability to swap to fullsize for range use.

I have a P250 Compact in 9 mm that I got before I got my CHL and started reading this forum. I admit that one of the reasons I chose it was that it is a DA. I looked at the Sigs with decockers and decided that I didn't want to deal with them. I also admit that it took me a long time be as accurate with the DA as I am with other guns. I have a Glock 30SF with a 3lb trigger and I am more accurate with it than the 250. I've had no trouble picking up other guns like Kimbers and shooting them better than my Sig. That is probably just me.

The 250 has been flawless for 1,000s of rounds, on every type of ammo that I've fed it. I've very comfortable with its reliability. I don't know that I would go the same route again, knowing what I know now but don't regret the choice that I made.

I shot several 100 rounds through a P250 and owned a P320, both in 9 mm. I can highly recommend either one. The 320 is striker fired, on par with the HK VP9 and Walther PPQ and by far better than other striker fired products available. The P320 truly emulated the SIG handling and feeling for a lower price in comparison to the P22x.

To be fair the 250 allows for caliber changes just the same as the 320.

In regard to the 250, it has one of the best DAO triggers I've ever shot. You just have to take the time to learn the long trigger pull, beyond that it's a great gun and can be had at a very reasonable price.

I have a Sig P250SC in 9mm and it has been reliable. Hate to admit to admit I didn't do all the homework on it I should have. Didn't realize it was DA only until I took it to the range. Don't like the long trigger pull. Will eventually replace it with some brand on compact 1911 in 9mm.

I have two Sigs that are DA/SA and I'm still trying to get used to the DA mode. When I'm practicing I almost always shoot in DA mode and then decock when the slide operates. After shooting maybe 300 or 400 rounds between two Sigs in DA, I'm finally getting comfortable in DA but I'm not fully there yet. I figure another two hundred bucks of range ammo and I'll be there ;-) .

DA on a sig is much much better than DA on an HK, but that heavy DA pull can really be brutal sometimes.
