I luv the quality of the 290. I do have a hard time shooting it without the extended mag which to me defeats the purpose of deep concealment.
Is it better that an Ruger LC9. Yes.
Is it better than a Beretta Nano. Maybe.
Is it better than a Shield. No. They are neck and neck.
Is it better than a Glock 43. No way.
I bought mine when CDNN had them for $300. I doubt if I would pay retail for one and the mags are $40 a pop.
But it is SIG. I purchased it for non-permissive environments and I could not be happier. Great little pistol.
