I know it has been some time, but I finally got the P250 to the range. I shot 200 rounds. All of the rounds were WWB (100 of 165 grn. and 100 180 grn). All the rounds were fmj. The trigger was smooth and the pull was long but nothing that was unpleasant. It was like shooting my S&W 681 or 64. I set the target out to 15 yards just to see what she would do today. To be honest, I was a little apprehensive due to some of the problems I have read about with other P250's. There were two FTF's in the first two magazines with a round getting hung up on the feed ramp or nose diving. The first one took place on round number 13 in the first magazine. The second one took place in the middle of the second magazine. Then it did not do it again during the rest of the session. I purposely loaded the magazines three days prior to set the springs and see if I could avoid some of the issues with the magazines. Accuracy with the 165 WWB was lack luster at best. It was combat accurate but did not impress me. Recoil with the 165 grn was sharp and nothing unexpected from 40S&W. The 180 grn WWB was much better. My P250 seemed to prefer the 180 grn weighted rounds and accuracy settled down and I was able to consistently shoot the center and the head area of the target with no problem. I was much happier after the second 100 rounds. I did not clean her prior to taking to the range because I did not have a lot of TW25B grease to re-lube with and the factory lube looked sufficient and there was no real grime on her except for the extractor area when they shot her at the factory. The checkering on the back strap reminded me of the H&K USP 40F I used to have and after firing it I had the checkering imprint on the palm of my hand. The P250 did the same. I did short stroke the P250 a couple of times while firing it. I did not let the trigger reset before I tried to pull the trigger again. That caught me off guard, but I was not shooting a Glock or a 1911 and this pistol has a long reset.

Over all I am happy with the P250C. I would gladly have the trigger pull a little heavier to have a shorter trigger reset, but I am sure I will get used to it the way it is. I am also happy that there were no major issues where the pistol would have to be sent back to the factory for repair. After another few hundred rounds, I will look to have some carry leather made so, I can begin to carry it off duty after I have qualified with it. The P250C is definitely a unique pistol and it is not like any of its predecessors.

I was just happy to find ammo period. I had to go to several Walmarts to find what I bought. The department round is the Winchester Ranger RA40T 180 grn., so I am happy for the 180 grn. performance today. I had to roll the trigger like I do with my revolvers rather than the straight back pull of the Glock and 1911. It will take some getting used to, but over all it was a good outing and I hope it grows on me more.

Hawk,

I am not originally from Georgia. I am a Native New Yorker, but I have been in Gwinnett County for a long time. Good luck tomorrow. At some point we should get together.

i just ordered both this morning from TGS. that and a bunch of other goodies like brushes, snap caps and more mags for both .40 and 9mm. spending money i dont have sure is fun.

Hi brak,
I ordered my 357Sig drop-in barrel about 3 weeks ago. I originally bought the 9mm gun, then the 40SW kit, and was told that the 40 upper - less barrel - and the 40 mags will support the 357 with just a barrel change. Sig was offering then at a 20% discount off MSRP - it came to about $162-something. The guy told me it would ship by the end of June, but I'm not expecting it in the next day. Let me know if you want my rep's name and I'll send it off.
