Just curious how many of you out there are currently trusting your lives to the 250 as your CCW.
While you're at it, tell us what your PD load is, and what kind of holster you're using.
Cmon Shane, let's hear it!
For me, I don't trust the 250 yet enough to carry it. However, at night, it is in a Gun Vault under my bed with Federal Tactical HST 124gr +P JHP.

For me, I don't trust the 250 yet enough to carry it. However, at night, it is in a Gun Vault under my bed with Federal Tactical HST 124gr +P JHP. If I am awake then I am usually carrying it, especially at work. The project I am working on right now, and for the next 4 years, is running through one of the worst neighborhoods in the state so I am never at work without it. The ammo I am using is the 124g Federal Premium Personal Defense loads. I think any major brand PD load is fine to carry as long as your gun will shoot it. I like the Federals cause my local gun shop stocks them and they have been 100% reliable in the P250. The holster is one of my own designs. It's an IWB that I made with a 20 degree forward cant. I carry it at the 3:oo position and the forward cant makes it more comfortable and easier to draw, at least for me. Here is the last holster I made and what I am wearing right now, along with the spare mag holder that I wear on my weak side.

The Crossbreed is great. Dont worry about your shape, after a few days of continuous wear, it conforms to your shape and the position you wear it in. I'm more between 3 and 4 o'clock. Draw is good but there is one catch, because the leather backing is high and the gun is against it your grip will have to be formed by bringing your thumb over the back top of the slide. I have to practice the draw every now and then to make sure I have the gun secure enough in my hand while I move my thumb over. Apart from that, conceal ability is excellent. All of my friends have since placed orders for theirs when seeing how effective it was.

I alternate carrying the 250 with a .40 229. I use the Tagua pancake on duty and a Tagua Yaqui slide clone when off because it conceals a lot better. CorBon 125 P+ works like a charm and moves steel targets with authority. I'm considering a Versamax inside the waist band because I have one for the 229 that conceals and supports that much heavier gun well.

I'm carrying the p250 when I go off-base. The problem for me is my holster is incredibly uncomfortable. I bought it for $32 at the local gun shop until I can get a decent iwb. It's the Uncle Mikes verticle shoulder holster. It'll work until I can get a supertuck or MTAC.

I carry the P250 daily as a replacement for my Glock 19 and Glock 26 that I used to carry depending on attire or situation.
The P250 was a perfect solution.
I use a DeSantis IWB holster but im looking more & more into the MTAC or corssbreed holsters. They seem to get really positive reviews from the people who own them.

I carry my 250 daily using the crossbreed super tuck. I find it to be a good daily carry holster.

I have yet to begin to carry my P250. I have taken it out and shot IDPA with it. did a couple of night shoots with it as well. The night sights worked great. i have been carring my P232 for nearly 8 years now and i am having a hard time making the switch to the P250 I really want to begin using the P250 I just need to work on my trust issues. :-)
I use the pocket pager holster, which is a cross draw, it doubles as my cell phone carrier as well. I have been around a lot of law enforcement friends and they have never knew I even had a holster on, let alone be carring. I pulled out my pocket pager holster and they loved it. I have had my holster for about 6 years now. I went thru about 5 holster before I found the style i liked. My P250 fits in the holster that my P232 fits in as well. I am a left hander so i say Long live the P250!!!!!!!!!!!

I carry my P250 9mm daily in a custom day planner, I love my Glock 19, but the P250 gives me more of a comfort range for CCW. Comp-Tac built me a nice belt holster for the P250, it's very quick to presentation, and I highly recommend them. I have 2 of these guns, one for serious carry (black Nitron finished upper) and one to practice with (stainless upper that cleans up easy!) Both of these guns were purchased used and have functioned perfectly with outstanding accuracy through over 2000 rounds of all types of factory and hand loads. I think the guns are on the used market because they are misunderstood. Okay, I'm not going to win an IPSC match with it, but I sure feel comfortable slipping it into my back pocket to take the trash out  . Hey, let's be honest, who "holsters up" every time the doorbell rings? Sig designed this gun to have an edge on safety and I'm taking advantage of it.

exactly on the safety issue. I don't get the "trust issues" people are talking about. What could be more safe than the DAO on the 250? As far as reliability, my 250, 9mm, has not malfunctioned once in 500 rounds, most are rapid fire..SIG has got this pistol down to a science. I have a Kimber .45 target and it took alot of patience to break it in to the point I was pissed half the time. Good to go now. SIG is trust.

I carry mine daily in a Kholster crescent IWB ( similar to the Crossbreed Supertuck, But less $). It is very comfortable and hides very well. It is loaded with Federal Tactical HST 148gr.
