Anyone shot the new Sig 250?

[EPD1102]

I've been reading a little bit about the new Sig 250.  The trigger group is the actual "receiver" of the weapon and can be put into different frame sizes and calibers.  Several friends of mine who work at gun shops say that almost everyone who's shot one has ended up buying one.  I'm just wondering what everyone else's opinions are.  Thanks

Shot one last night at the range and needless to say, my Sig collection will grow in 2 weeks when I go back and buy one. Very smooth trigger, feels great when the mag is loaded up. I've never owned a DAO but there's a 1st time for everything. If you conceal carry, holsters are hard to come by because its such a new model. The Camo Tactical P250 comes with a holster and mag holder so I'm going to opt for that one.

Now, I am not argueing the point or choice. I must also say I have yet too handle one, much less shoot one.
What does it offer that a 239 doesn't?
I am not sure I understand the need to change configurations easily.

The changing of configurations is subjective, while one may use it as the reason to buy one, another person doesn't care about it. I personally don't care about the configuration aspect but may as time passes.

Now for some, switching out parts will be a huge factor and I can see the attraction but with owning other Sigs, If I feel the need for change I'll just grab one of them.

My opinion was strictly from the viewpoint of judging it as an every day carry piece. Whatever else it's capable of is icing on the cake. I had a Sig Pro 2340 when they came out and seeing as that was also a polymer based pistol, I can say without a doubt that the 250 is leagues better in balance, comfort in hand and even accuracy. Dependability isn't a factor because it seems whatever Sig one has, it can be run into the ground and still serve you well

Another point I have to bring up...I didn't pull out my Sig 226 to compare but the 250 seems to recover from recoil faster/easier(I shot .40 s&w). It's something I can't explain but it just feels more natural to hold and shoot. Maybe I'm confusing it with just being different and enjoyed it but when I buy it and directly compare with my carry 226.. if I get that same feeling again, my trusty 226 will reside in the safe while the 250 gets holstered strong side 

**Oh and allow me to add the very simple & fast breakdown of the entire pistol, down to every spring mind you. There's a video on youtube and I was amazed at how simple it is to break down and thoroughly clean.

Everyone that I've talked to who has shot one has loved it but I've only found a few who have shot one.  A gun dealer buddy of mine says about 75% of the people who've test-fired one have bought one.  He said it's winning over a lot of Glock shooters but, unfortunately, he's out of them right now so I can't even see one.

I also have heard that many Glock owners are changing over and I'd like to ask them what made them change over. Maybe it's because they favor polymer pistols? Or is it the cheaper price point of the 250? Or both? I ask because it certainly doesn't feel like a Glock in my hand and for me that's a good thing. I cannot stand how a Glock feels and shoots.

If anyone out there is reading this and thinks the Sig 250 may feel/shoot like your Glock and you're ready to make a change, I highly advise you shoot a 250 first(not just hold it). You may infact be disappointed.

Right now it offers increased capacity over a P239. If the propaganda is to be believed one day it will offer the ability to change out slides, gripframes, barrels of different lengths and calibres, a regular erector set of a pistol with just one fire control unit to buy.

I don't really see the usefulness unless you are a dept armorer or the purchasing agent, and want to stock pieces to fit the whole dept to a custom fit weapon at the lowest inventory posible. It's a SIG for the TC Contender crowd.

The trigger is as smooth as can be though, I can see getting used to it and really liking it.

Well I got tired of begging my Gramps to shoot his P250 9mm so I bought my own home today. I went the .40s&w route ofcourse. After running 200 or so rounds thru her, here are impressions of my new baby  ....

I'm putting the 226 in the safe for a while and will start carrying the 250 as my primary. It's lighter, holds an extra round and is even slightly more accurate. Very impressed with the pistol overall. It will take some time for me to become 100% comfortable with the DAO setup, but I couldn't be happier, especially for the price. This is leagues above the Sig Pro and it doesn't cost much more.

I have not yet fired the SIG -250 in the 45acp but the concept idea of the poly gun sounded good and the biggest issue with people today, PRICE is a lot cheaper than a regular SIG. I will no doubt fire the Sig-250 either today or tomorrow at the range.

I know the 45acp in the model 250, has more magazine capacity, which is a plus. I also know that the die-hard Sig crowd has NOT gotten close to the new idea of Sig "poly" guns.
I am told the sales have not been good since these type of Sig hit the market......don't really know personally, just hear say from the internet etc.

I have owned several Sig pistols in the past and still keep a couple of the old standby's, the P-226, P-229.

This Sig-250 in 45acp caliber is a large pistol, not a great hide-away gun in my humble opinion but one could use it in a shoulder holster setup. The pistol I shot was very accurate, I would have liked to have a bit smaller grip size that day. My hand was bothering me a wee bit and that is not good trying to shoot your best.

The plus side of having a double stacked magazine I like a bunch, the pistol was more accurate at 20 yards (60 feet) verses my Glock 21-SF by some almost 1.5 inches. The shooting was done standing position and no rest. I was shooting Blazer FMJ ammo 230 grain bullets. I averaged 4-inch groups with the Sig-250 and around the 5.5 inch groups with the Glock shooting same ammo, using a two handed grip. I have shot under 4 inch groups with Gold Dot HP ammo in the Glock 21-SF. I am positive both pistols would have done better if my hand had not been paining me from arthritis ok.
