Sig P250

[morrcarr67]

My sister is thinking about getting one of these Sig P250C.

Has anyone here had a chance to see one of these or shot one?

She like the fact that she can change it around but I looked on Sig's website and could not find out any info as to how much the parts to change it around cost. Any info on that would help her make up he mind.

Thanks.

BTW, she's in MO so no roster to worry about.

I really enjoy shooting the P250 so much that I bought four of them: a full size 9mm exchange kit, a compact 9mm, a full size .40S&W, and a compact .40S&W.

With one single fire control unit, a P250 can give you 9 pistols: 3 frame sizes (full, compact, and subcompact) x 3 most popular calibers (9mm, .40S&W, and .45).

Hello morrcarr,

My sister has the P250C in 9mm, and I recently fired a 250C in .45 ACP as well.

I have about 200 rounds in with my sister's pistol, while only about 10 with the .45 acp (someone on the range let me use his). If your sister is recoil sensitive, I don't think the 250C is for her, but I must add that I believe if someone is recoil sensitive, they start with a .22. If she has some experience, I think the p250c is a good buy. The price has been dropping since they've been introduced. Demand really isn't high.

With regards to shooting the actual pistol, I think it does its job. I'm a fairly large guy (5'11 and 210) and I don't find the recoil to be bad at all. the .45 acp 250c obviously kicked a little more, but it wasn't bad at all.

The trigger isn't bad. It's smooth but it's very long. I don't know if you know it, but it isn't a striker fired pistol, but instead it's a hammer fired. I think the actual term for it is a DAK. I can't remember what the reset is like, but my sister says there's no trigger reset and you have to let out the trigger every single time.

The P250C didn't seem too small for my hands, which is saying something because I have girly hands. My sister loves hers, and she has small hands too.

And because you're in MO, there's no roster, so that's nice. That'll drive the price further down. You may run into problems because they are not widely used or very liked. They're definitely niche guns at best.

With regards,

Mpwang

I had one in 9mm FDE, old style grip (still have a caliber x-change kit, new style grip in 40sw and some old style base plate mags for sale in 40 and 9).

If she can adapt to the trigger pull, it's a great pistol. Very simple and elegant design. As you probably already know, the serial number is on the stainless insert that is the trigger group. The polymer "frame" is nothing more than a grip module and there are 3 different sizes available.

Trigger pull is long but very smooth, just like a double action revolver. Breaking point is crisp. It's not good for shooters who are prone to flinch due to the long trigger pull. Experienced shooters will be able to adapt to it much quicker. I found it easier to stage the trigger/hammer prior to the breaking point. But, it's not really proper technique.

It's, without a doubt, designed as a rugged duty pistol. Not many parts, very few things to go wrong, and very easy to care for.

Thanks for the link and info.

My sister is has full size 9mm's and does fine with them. She saw a used 250c for like $400 and thought it might be nice to have a compact model too.

The thing that pisses me off is she is always asking me about things I can't have.

$400 is a lot for a used one. I bought mine new for $375 and sold back to the same dealer for $300 in part trade for a M&P VTAC.

Here's my listing for the parts on the P250 forum: http://www.p250sig.com/forum/default...g=posts&t=3960

That's some good info munk. I'll be sure to pass that on to her.
