I've had a SIG P290RS for about a year now and I absolutely hate the gun. I bought it for CC due to it's small size and ease of conceal ability. From day one it's been nothing but lite strikes, failure to eject, failure to load, and the magazines dropping loose. Many google searches revealed that a lot of other folks have the same complaints and the 290 generally isn't considered reliable. Sig service claims there is nothing wrong with my gun so no help from the factory. Before any of you Sig lovers pile on I would like to point out that I am an experienced shooter with many handguns that haven't exhibited these problems. I own two Glocks that function flawlessly and in fact these Glocks routinely fire the "lite strikes" from the Sig. So the 290 gets a thumbs down from me.
