Any Sig P250 owners? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Checking to see if anyone has procured the new Sig P250? I took a look at them yesterday thinking this could be the one to seperate me from my beloved GLOCKs. To say the least I was disappointed with the overall feel of the gun. It just felt hollow, cheap and lacked character to me. Maybe it's just me but it looked and felt just like a glorified Sig Mosquito. Keep in mind I didn't shoot the gun, this is just from a handling perspective. I could very well have a different opinion if I would have fired the gun, which I plan to do in the near future.

How was the trigger? Supposedly, the trigger is better than the DAK SIGs. I shot a DAK 229 in 40SW and was shocked at how short and light the trigger was. Beat the daylights out of every DAO pistol I have ever handled and was one DAO that I could live with.

Also, how were they priced? I have not seen one in our stores and wonder how they're priced.

I didn't dry fire the pistol so I couldn't comment about the trigger action. Seems like they were priced at $570. I really want to like this gun but I can't seem to get past the "lack of character" feel that it gives me.

Just by looking at it, its nothing I would trade my Glock or XD for.

I haven't felt it yet, but it looks similar to the FN-P9, but I really liked the feel and quality of the FN-P9 and since it is tons cheaper and comes with an extra mag (SIG mags are not cheap)...I think that in that category...I'd consider an FN-P9 long before the P250 SIG.

I don't understand why everyone is going so crazy over this pistol.

I agree about all the hype surrounding this gun. In mind I believe it could be a failure for Sig. I would choose the Sig Pro over the P250 just based on my initial impression. I don't think people will leave a XD or a GLOCK in favor of a P250.

I'll be keeping my sigpro 2022.

The P250 needs to be DA/SA, and the price needs to drop $100.

lora84 · 01-03-2008, 11:02 AM

I agree Nikon! I thought the Sig Pro definitely felt better than the P250. I would not pay $100 more for the P250 over the XD or Glock. Sig may have to ultimately get the P250 into that price point to sell them.

Brickboy240 · 01-03-2008, 12:33 PM

I agree. The Sig Pro seems like a better pistol. Really, I don't know why everyone poo poos the Sig Pro. I don't know anyone that has one and hates it. I admit, I love my older P-series SIGs but the Sig Pros are very far from junky.

My cousin bought an older model 2009 Sig Pro 9mm and I thought it was a pretty decent shooter and seemed very well made. They're a bargain on the used market if you can find one.

SIG is really crazy for attempting to enter a VERY saturated market of highly established pistols like the Glocks, XDs, FNP-9s and M&Ps. They should have worked the bugs out of their 1911s and newer P-series guns and Mosquito before trying something else new.

Yessuuurr. Dump all the multitude of bling models, and get quality control of the standard models back where it used to be.

Fancy wood grips, beavertails and a Sigarms Custom Shop logo on the slide don't mean beans if my beater old Glock 22 will out-shoot these newer SIG diversions in the reliability arena. Ditto for new fangled, pretty polymer guns with changable frames.

Its a firearm not a statue...it has to FIRE...all the time or I have no use for it.
