Well let's make a long story short, I'm a GLOCK shooter. However, I found a used P250 compact at a local gun shop and it fit my hand, a lower with a Nitron 9mm upper and a stainless .40 S+W upper, w/night sights and 2 mags for each caliber for the price of a new P250, 2 guns in one deal! The plastic card and my CPL hit the counter and I signed my life away......

After a 1000 flawless rounds through the 9mm tube I am extremely impressed with this gun. I was looking for a 9mm as a serious high cap carry gun that could be handled safely without a holster. The accuracy of this gun is dead on spooky and pure SIG. I haven't used the .40 S+W upper yet because the 9 has worked out so well...... I really think it may edge out my trusted G-19 as my "don't leave home with out it" gun.

I'm reading a lot of blogs about the short-comings of this design, but it's a different animal right now, as the Glock was back in the late 80's. I think SIG's got something that's going to be hot.........

Welcome and thanks for a refreshing view on this gun. It's truly revolutionary and as such misunderstood.

Great looking piece you have there!

Did your 250 come with the small frame? If not is there a big differance between the small and the medium.

I ordered the small P250 compact frame from Express Police Supply. The gun was purchased with a medium frame, as I believe all are factory sold. The small frame gives me an advantage in grip and with a short trigger works well with a gloved hand, and hey, it fits the wife's hand nicely too!...Hmmmm, I have yet to hold a sub-compact, now that might be a real trip!.......m/w

While I don't have pictures, I can tell you that the size of the grips S,M,L are based on the thickness of the grip. The S will be thinner than the M. I have the M and L, the S being too slim for me.

Thanks 1911, you got my back! Great photos!

I too bought a small frame from Express Police Supply, for a reasonable price.

I'm sad I bought a P250 9mm Compact and the extra (small) grip just as Sig started manufacturing them with the new grip (which uses a different magazine, too).

But I have applied skater tape to the front and back straps of my "old style" grip -- wow, what a great grip now. (I think this is what Sig is after with the change in grips on the 9mm Compact to the more aggressively stipled straps).

Next I will try using a Dremel tool to take away the ridges in the flatter parts of the front and back strap to make a place for the skater tape to fit into the back and front straps better -- it should look like it was meant to be there, and it should be very solid and long-lasting. It is especially useful on the P250 which has some muzzle flip (being a light pistol) and a somewhat slippery grip, particularly on the backstrap (your experiences might differ).

My small frame P250C 9mm continues to be my daily carry gun. We've got better than 3500 rds downrange and this piece just performs better at each outing, ya I'm learning the trigger. No failures of any kind to report. I've read a post that says this gun has been discontinued?......That would be a really mistake, anybody got a real feel from Sig on that? It would not make much sense that his would be true seeing that Sig has just re-instated the frames with heavier dust covers to upgraded the rails.

My experience has been somewhat different in that my both my 9mm p250 (1,000 rounds) and my 45 ACP p250 (450 rounds) have been flawless with Federal Champion, WWB, Remington UMC, and Federal American Eagle as well as Speer Gold Dots. I do not yet have a 40 cal p250 but it is on the wish list along with the 357 SIG.
