Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns SIG P250?

Huh? Slide release is in the same spot as it is on all my other guns, takedown lever too.

Thanks for the offer gmoats. Is it a 9mm?

I assume the C makes it a compact?

Felt just right to me. But I've not shot one.

Sig's shoot very well IME

As UPHiker corrected me on the first page of this thread, I meant the SIG 320. The 250 is being discontinued and can be had at a very reasonable price. The 320 has an astonishingly great trigger for a striker-fired pistol. Personally, I prefer the HK VP9 but both pistols, the SIG 320 and the HK VP9, represent the state of the art of striker-fried pistols at this point in time.

I think the 320 has a very good chance of becoming our next service pistol. When you look at the criteria laid down, the 320 and the new pistol that Beretta is submitting are the only two that really meet that criteria (in the strictest sense). The 320 is a very well thought out pistol. From the standpoint of a military, I think it makes SO much sense. As a civilian, none of those features do me any amount of good...if I buy one, I'm not likely to go swapping things all around. And if mine breaks, it's not like I'll have a bin full of fire control modules.

Still, the ergonomics are good, trigger is excellent, and they appear to be quite reliable. It will be interesting to see how they hold up in the torture test.

I'd say the only down side, and this being purely subjective; the 320 is butt ugly...but then so are all the other Tupperware pistols. But it ought to be a damn good pistol.

I agree on the ugliness of the SIG 320. UGH! Reminds me of my mini-soap box derby car when I was a Cub Scout. That was one tortured block of wood.

They're all ugly. Even the new 1911's are fuggin' ugly with their ambi-safeties and stainless and plastic grips.





Travis

Buy the 320.

There's a bunch of really good Tupperware guns out right now. The H&K VP9 is sweet, the FN is a nice pistol and very versatile. The Sig obviously, and of course the Glock is always there if you want the tried and true.

JOG....I think that it's positioned like most Sig's......back too far for us 1911 guys, but not bad once you get use to it.

Travis, yes it's a 9 and a compact---roughly the same size as a G-19....most of my spare mags are 17 rounders for the full size frame as I didn't see the illogic in reloading into a mag that sticks out the bottom of the frame....the reason that I'm willing to let it go is that I personally don't care for the slight bend in the trigger compared to Glock's or the FN.......the gun's accurate and shoots flawlessly......you're welcome to borrow it for an extended period if you like.....after which if you want to buy a new one or a full sized model, that's ok with me.....I'm not actively trying to sell it.....it's probably just going to be a safe queen for me (although I'm taking it as a backup to a John Farnam class in a couple of weeks). If you're interested in borrowing it, I need to know before we leave for Kalispell next month so that I pack it....otherwise it will be in the safe in Laramie.

moats,

Why did you not buy the full size? Kinda selfish of you IMO.

PM inbound.

My left hand rode the slide stop lever and kept it from locking back. I didn't think it was in the wrong spot, but it was placed kinda awkward for my grip.

My shoes aren't too small, just too short.

Out of finger banging practice eh?
