Thoughts on Sig P250 Compact?

[JLI]

My husband is looking at the Sig P250 Compact .40. Just wanted to get some general thoughts on it from some more experienced CC owners. We're just moving into the carry part of gun ownership. One question I have is the price.... it seems a little low for a Sig. I know it doesn't come with a case. Is that one of the reasons????

I own several Sig 250s. All mine came with cases. In my opinion the 250 is one of the most underrated firearms around. Traditional Sig owners hated them because it moved Sig in to the polymer frame group. Many do not like the long double action only trigger...this is probably the biggest complaint. My 250s collectively have over 3000 rounds of flawless fire, and most often I carry a 250 Subcompact in 40 cal.

What I like most:1. lack of unnecessary controls. Long trigger pull requires a deliberate action and it is unnecessary to have additional safeties that couls cause trouble if the gun is needed.
2. Mine have been 100% reliable. What good is a defensive gun if it doesn't work?
3. Superbly accurate.
4. The lightest feeling smoothest double action trigger I've ever had.
5. Came with night sights
6. The ability to morph the gun into any caliber and size you want by way of X-change kits.

For carry, I have found the subcompact to be more comfortable for all day carry and also to be more easily concealable, even though the difference in size between compact and subcompact seems negligible. I own a sub in 9mm, 40 cal. and 45 acp, but for some reason carry the 40 most often.

To answer your first question about price, when the 250 first came out about 3 years ago, it was initially costing in the $600s bracket (I paid $640 for my first subcompact). Sig reduced price to stimulate sales and prices have been kept low.

If you like the double action trigger, by all means buy with confidence.

Thanks! I'll let him know. He was really leaning toward it and I think your 6 points will just reaffirm for him. I'll ask the dealer why it doesn't have the case. He has the original box that it was shipped in. I saw it today when I picked up my 238. It's only been in the store for a week. Huh.

You mean it comes in a cardboard box? All mine came in a plastic case. Even the X-change kits do.

Yeah... It has the SIG box. It's the official SIG box with logos.

I own the Sig P2502SUM. It came in a cardboard box. I've looked online to buy a plastic 2SUM case but can't find one. It's not that big of a deal but I do like the hard cases. I'm a Pelican dealer so I'll just order a Pelican case and use one of them. I enjoy the 2Sum (9mm) a lot. My other Sig is the P238 which I carry most of the time.
