picked up my p250 9mm last friday, feb/13/09, first sig product i have purchased. The gun salesman was kinda pushin' it which, normaly makes me think twice about a purchase, however the modularity of the p250 system seemed very interesting. At first i thought might be just a novelty but after thinking twice about it, one gun same trigger pull, same simple working parts, i figured in the long run it would be cheaper if i wanted to get a different caliber and easier to adjust to the particular calibur... caliber... anyways... yea. I've only fired about 100 rounds through this beasty of some 5 year old, from date of purchase, 9mm 115gr speer lawman round nose ammo i still had from when i owned a glock 17c, it shoots fine so far but after finding this site i'm more than a little concerned... concernd... (it's past my bed time). The date on the box my gun came in is feb/16/08, it's a "flat top",9mm, compact, two tone, with the sig night lite sights with of course, c-m on the right side of the grip module really small, by mag opening, towards the rear of the grip, which i take to mean compact medium, sn EAU003xxx. Not used to DAO but i'm able to keep all my rounds on the ol' shoot'n'see.

1. is this there specific date of manufacture, feb 08 to oct 08, for instance of this gun that's really crapy?
2. how about SN#? what ranges that are really crapy? i realize this P250 is about a year old but still...
3. the slide doesn't have the little "c" after the P250. what is the "c"?, compact?, and why is it not on my gun?
4. what the hell did i just buy, a kick@&$ paper weight???

other than beeing freaked out, handles great, simple to use, although if i found this sight sooner i probably would've purchased the Berreta px4. Thanks

I love my p250, it shoots great. I've got a few buddies I go to the range with, one has a Ruger, one has an XD. The ruger is crap compared to the XD and p250. the XD is nice, but the p250 is just a better gun. its feels better in my hands, it is better balanced than the XD, its just a better overall gun. you didn't buy a bad gun, its a great gun. I've beening thinking about eventually getting another one, I want to eventually get the sub-compact, and full size and want to have one as an ankel carry, and my current p250 to be compact for IWB carry, and be able to switch to fullsize for the range for more capacity. I don't think the fullsize is avaliable yet, but the 9mm version fullsize can carry 20 rounds.

sweet thanks for the pep talk guys, i got another 165 rounds through it today, and when i was finished shooting i started thinking about how alot of people out there really like the glock pistol, i have had 2, about three years apart. The first glocked i owned was a 17c which stove piped about every three round or so and my friend got a glock 19c which had zero problems, i told myself no more glocks... so a few years later i looked into a glock in 45acp the 36, i think, slim line and it did the same damn thing. So now, no more glocks for me for sure, but some people love shiz out of them. Peace.

I love my P250 9mm. I have had no problems with my sig. You dont needto worry about your purchase. You have a firearm that will last a lifetime and can be handed down to your children. I was at the gun show this weekend and I was talking to a soldier who said he did training with sigs and he has seen 120,000 rounds put thru the sigs they have and they are still going strong with no sign of wearing out. You cant say that about very many guns on the market today!
