Who uses a Sig 250 for CCW

chemcal

I actually prefer the P250. Don't get me wrong, the P320 is a nice gun, I just shoot the P250 better.
 
I have a sub compact and a compact p250, both in 9mm.

They are nice guns. The trigger is very smooth as others have said. The long trigger pull and trigger reset are no problem but if you're coming from a different trigger system you'll need some range time. Being polymer they are light weight. The grip feels good in the hand. The gun is 100% reliable. It's a Sig, what's not to like?
 
^^^What he said.

+ Impervious to the elements.

I have a full size in .45 ACP that I have field carried for 2 years.

It is lighter than my 1911A1 and has 11 round capacity, and, it is very accurate.
 
P250SC

Reliable piece with interchange features - extremely versatile.

No FTF/FTE issues after 120 round of FMJ and 40 rounds of Winchedter Rangers HP whatsoever, I would carry it daily if I am 50 pounds less.

According to my local smith, a very easy weapon to work on and affordable, he felt that more LE agency should adopt them as service weapons:D

My humble 2 cents
 
I bought a P250 to try out for carry. It was a great gun. Marginally outperformed the G27 in almost every aspect. But it wasn't by a large enough margin to convince me to put the time into training and accessories rquired to switch my carry piece. If I was starting from scratch it would probably be a better purchase than the Glock 27.
 
I'm sure glad to see so many positive comments about the p250 that support my feelings for it; however, why do so many guys refer to it as a POS?
 
I feel like folks just don't care for "polymer" frame weapon system as much - same feedback for Glock when they first came out.

Both P250/P320 are great platforms with Sig accuracy and reliability. Plus, it doesn't hurt that they are more affordable than Glocks.:D

Not that I've seen every conversation online, but from what I have seen hate for the p250 comes from either someone who got a rare faulty unit or someone with a brand loyalty.
 
Amongst Siggies, there seems to be a great affection for the classic, all-metal, double action/ single action designs, such as the 226. Further, many of them detest the company, now that that guy Cohen is leading it. The P250 IS different - very different from that which they are familiar. The DAO trigger just ain't like the 226 trigger.

So, I think it is a combination of all of these factors. Call it traditionalism, mixed with an instinctive fear of new things. (Kind of the same thing, when you think about it.)
 
I agree with most of the comments.. I love the P250 other than the trigger. Yes, its smooth. But its way too long. It definitely caused problems for me. It would have required more range time than I could have devoted to stay proficient with it.
 
The trigger did take some getting used to but it becomes second nature. What I did was remember how to touch the trigger which is like halfway from the tip to the first knuckle.
 
I agree with the above poster. There are a lot of people who really love older SIG designs, and for good reason. This is a very big change in direction. I feel very comfortable saying if you really like the traditional SIG designs the P250 just isn't for you.

I like the traditional SIG designs, but not for my carry gun. The P250 is much closer to what I look for in a carry gun. I don't own any traditional SIGs and don't plan on purchasing any. If you are at the range and offer o let me shoot a P226 I will take you up on the offer and might even pay to rent one once in a while.
 
I love mine but do not carry (no ccw yet) It DOES feel amazing in the hand. I have the 40/.357

I just with there were more conversion kits out there and not the price of a whole new gun. Heck I can't even find the grips anymore.
 
When the 250 was new and still in the beta tester phase, I recall one of the alphabet soup agencies disqualifying it for lack of reliability in testing. That hurt the reputation quite a bit.

That said, the 320 uses the same basic platform and is getting rave reviews, so apparently teething issues have been addressed.
