Hey Guys,

Quite a few questions.

1) Are the conversion kits out yet? Dealer told me they are $400, is that a scam?
2) Accuracy--- how does this puppy shoot? I have a 92FS Beretta that isn't floating my boat.
3) Some problems with gun but are they growing pains? I'm on many a forum and after all many are just places for people with trouble seeking help.
4) Are the full frame guns available yet? I'm looking for a Full frame 40S&W

Thanks in advance!

Here's my take at answers. I hope others can provide more info.

1. I have not seen a conversion in person or advertised on Al Gore's invention, the internet. And if conversions are $400, I don't see why one wouldn't spend another $100 or so for an entire gun to have a spare frame. If Sig prices the conversions that high, I bet they don't sell many.
2. I'm quite happy with the accuracy with mine. I'm no crack shot by any means, but you can check out an off hand target of mine in the "Range Calls' thread in the "P250 Shooting" forum on this site. I suppose I'll bench it some day to see how accurate it really is. I will say that mine seems to shoot to point of aim with at least three different flavors of ammo.
3. I and others have reported light primer strikes with the gun. I think that issue is easily addressable (lighter firing pin spring, heavier hammer spring, shimmed hammer spring, lighter hammer, lighter firing pin, longer firing pin protrusion, etc are all possible remedies), so I'm not really worried about it. A guy on sigforums who apparently works at a gun range has a few 250s with thousands of rounds through them. He reported broken trigger bar springs after a large number of rounds. Again, this doesn't really worry me. Maybe Sig just needs a heavier spring or better quality control from suppliers.
4. Not to my knowledge, though I saw a 250 in forty in the gun case at my range just outside Austin, Tx.

Thanks for the candid feedback. I'm not feeling to warm and fuzzy about this gun company. Get a big shiny catalog showing all these wonderful options then log on the internet and find out you really can't buy most of them. Bummer deal

Thanks again

I agree somewhat coolbreeze. However, I love mine. Very accurate. I have had very little problems with mine. We are all frustrated by the lack of accessories and conversion kits. I hope Sig Sauer delivers on this, and I believe they will. I am waiting patiently, or at least trying to.

I believe that Sig will come through on new calibers, frame sizes, and accessories, too. It's just a matter of time.

However, to put things in perspective, we hear about new toys all the time from manufacturers, and they don't always get to the shelves when promised. The Ares Shrike is one in particular that had folks waiting a while. And there's the Massada, SCAR, etc, so Sig isn't the only manufacturer with delays.
