Sigs new gun out?

[IMTHDUKE]

What is the new auto out from Sig? Is it the P250 sub-compact. Does anyone have any experience with the P250? Thanks

I'm waiting on the P290. A potential CCW for me.

You have info on the P290? link?

I love my P220 so I'm not bashing Sig...but I see no advantage of the P290 over the tried and true Kahr PM9. Not to mention Sig's track record on new releases


okay I bashed a little...

The Sig has a hammer. I prefer a hammer, but that's just me. Adjustable grips don't hurt either. The cost will be the deciding factor.

I'll be checking that 290 out. My ex PM9 couldn't be trusted even after a trip back to Kahr but I know there's plenty of good ones out there. It's not likely I'll ever sway from my J frame for carry but you never know. I never warmed up to the Lcp I had even though it was 100% out of the box. A friend has the Sig 238HD and it's sweet.....but still a .380. Nothing against a .380 but in semi's I prefer a 9mm.

I am waiting in anticipation as well, however the proposed weight does not excite me,
Mike

My R9's w/o mag =12.95oz
My R9's (7rds) w mag = 19.95

Sig 290 w/o mag = 20.5 oz
Sig 290 w mag = 27.5-28oz (I suspect)

Yea, I was wondering about the weight too at about 5 ounces heavier than my 442. I'll still check it out.

With Sigs recent R&D for new products being handled by the consumer I would personally wait for the initial bugs to be worked out before buying a 290. Look at the recent P250 and P238s. Early guns were full of issues.

I personal am not happy about the DAO trigger but am willing to wait and see how P250 like it is before I judge it.

My new PM9 is going back to Kahr for work. The magazines are too tight in the magazine well, and I have had too many FTFs and FTEs, even after the requisite 200 rounds break in period. I would have expected better QC for an $800 plus pistol. Had the the P290 been available or had I known it was going to be available two months ago, I think I would have gone that route.

With heavy slide and quality sights it looks like nicely designed 9x19 pocket pistol.
