Sig p290

[enforcerjwd]

I just acquired a Sig p290 9mm. I haven't had the chance to shoot it yet, does anyone have feedback on how they perform, and also it has a laser attached to the front, is that removable? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated, thanks fellow chl friends

I bought one several years ago. I had problems from day one. FTF or FTE you could count on it. I called Sig and they had me send it back. Great customer service, but I just could not get comfortable after all the trouble I had. It is also too heavy for pocket carry (my opinion) so if I am going to belt carry I just decided to stay with a full size handgun.

Let us know how it works for you.

I'm gonna go to the arms room tomorrow and test it out, I hope it shoots fine

They had trouble when first released... Sig released version 2 and called it the P290RS. I have the RS version and love it. Carry it in my pocket daily. I don't get the "too heavy for pocket carry" thought... Place it in my pocket and forget it is there.

Range time, I'll let yall know how it is

I like my Sigs. But all are too heavy for a pocket.
Let us know if it shoots accurately. It's mighty tiny.

My little 938 picket carries great and is a great shooter. My favorite pocket gun I've ever had. If the 290 is half as good, I think you'll have a winner.

So the gun shoots great! Heavy for Pocket carry I'll say! It kinda feels like dragging beach sand around in swimming trunks, I put 200 rounds and 3 times it didn't lock up fully to return to be able to shoot

Glad you like it... as far as the weight, it is lighter than the Glock 23 on my hip, heavier but a little more potent round than my Colt Gov. Model Pocketlite, and easier to shoot and better built than my Keltec PF9. It is a trade off...
