Anyone CCW a Sig p250

I just put my full size .45 ACP P250 back in the rack from carrying it with me this evening. It was in the center console of my pickup. It is a frequent truck carry. I have at times personally carried either of my 9mm P250's, one sub-compact and the other in compact, on me.
 
P250

The Sig P20 is a marvel of engineering. Best DAO trigger.
I carry the compact 45 and have a 9mm kit as well.

For me it has a fantastic grip and a great carry gun.
With the success of the p320 I hope the p250 gets more respect.

 
I own 3 P250 9mm's; 2 Compacts and a hybrid subcompact slide on a bobbed compact grip module. The Compacts are for nightstand/training duty and the hybrid is my EDC.
The DAO trigger is excellent, makes every shot deliberate and I only had to learn the DAO, not DA, SA and the transition.
People seem to either love or hate the P250. Guess which camp I'm in? ;)

Carried one for a while (.40 compact) until I traded it for a Glock.

Shot well, carried just fine, I just eventually decided I didn't like the long pull/reset of the DAO trigger. Personal preference.

Guy I traded it to loved it and probably still carries it.

I very much agree with this and is a major reason for being partial to it for a ccw. I'm being told this is not a gun to try IDPA with, but why not? Shooting double taps and multiple targets should be part of ccw practicing--does a DAO pistol fall short in this shooting game?
 
Yes. The slide is kind of bulky, even in the subcompact version, so I do recommend as thin a holster as possible (the Crossbreed ones work well, it's what I use) to try and slim down the whole package.

I've also noted that the slide release lever can sometimes catch on the leather of the Crossbreeds, so I also recommend ordering them with the sweat shield- it keeps the edge of the lever from getting caught up on the edge of the leather.

IMO the reset is really, really long. It tended to slow down my double-taps and rapid fire and I occasionally had a tendency to short stroke the reset when I was trying to shoot too fast. Probably the primary reason I decided to go elsewhere.

Yes. A long trigger plus the long reset (pretty much the entire trigger pull on most DAO pistols) handicaps these guns in competition.
 
Carried my .45 acp compact for awhile as my EDC, still carry it occasionally. Has been replaced by my Glock 36, hard to beat 27ozs. fully loaded with 7 rounds of .45 in a smaller package. The P250 is a decent gun, don't like the company.
 
I've CC my P250sc IWB for a couple of years. I have a Beretta Px4 compact which is pretty much the same size as the P250c and that CCs pretty well IWB, too.

The P250 trigger is great if your used to DA revolvers or something similar. But I recently bought a XD9 - If I shoot the P250 first at the range I'm okay, but if I shoot the XD9 first and then try the P250 the P250 is a real bear to shoot with that longer trigger pull and re-set. I found out why some people would trash the P250 trigger. I still feel safer carrying the P250 w/ the longer trigger pull but I sure shoot the XD9 better.

Am enjoying my p250 compact .40 and looking forward to trying it out with the 357 barrel and I think I want the .45 sub-compact kit for CC and the full size 9mm for the helluvit. CC the 40 comp now and like it very much.

That is exactly my concern. I believe the deliberate trigger pull of the p250 removes much of the chance of a AD. it's not that much different than other P series sigs for first shot. I have a p220 and a walther ppq. When I concentrate, my groups out to 15 yds. are similar with all. There is an advantage for rapid fire with the ppq type trigger in timed competition, however, with my limited experience, I don't know if IDPA really simulates a true defensive shooting.
 
I carry a P250 sub-compact and couldn't be happier with it.

I went with a smaller version, the P290. One thing about the two models, they are thicker than their striker fired competition. The trigger is long but smooth.

It is hard to find a thin hammer fired gun, (in 9mm). Maybe the Ruger LC9, but that trigger is awful IMHO.
