I bought a gimmick pistol

I have a friend who is a cool old Texas cowboy that has a ton of personality. One of his personality traits is he only owns/carries 1911's or PPK pistols.

He made a deal on a Kimber with a long time friend of his, where the guy needed money and so he bought the Kimber and a Sig P250 in 40s&w.

Of course he doesn't shoot 40s&w and he doesn't want to change his ways so we struck a deal and I now have a used Sig P250.

Everyone's happy- of course I hope this thing goes bang when I pull the trigger but I figure its really good gunshow fodder for a trade if it can't be trusted as a concealed carry gun for any reason.

This is my first entry into DAO semi-auto pistols, so I need a proper holster and need to spend some time running it through ts paces. I plan to take lt to an IDPA shoot Friday evening and see how it treats me.

    I'm sure it will go bang every time for you. They are cheap compared to their alloy framed cousins but they are still decent/. Its DAO is about 6lb so only 1/2 lb more than Glock.

    Its a Sig. it will go bang every time. My nephew bought one when he got out of the Army and he loves it. I shot a few rounds through it and its a little too big for my likes as a concealed piece. The trigger isn't that heavy and has a fairly decent reset distance. I love Sigs and don't think you will be disappointed with it.

    It's a Sig is meaning less and less as they contract out for parts, guns and accessories then put their name on it.

    I haven't bought a new Sig in quite a while and didn't know they were contracting a lot of their parts out. Mine are old school Sigs with alloy frames and are rock solid, high quality pistols.

    Thanks for the feedback gents- I knew it was a polymer frame gun, and it has a trigger pull similar to the motion you make when rowing a boat, but I like the size and 40 for carry so I figured I'd give it a chance- plus I made a very good deal on it.

    If it proves to be worth its salt I may go out and buy a conversion kit to make it a 357 which would be my first "new caliber" gun in about ten years.

    The gun can be converted to 9mm, 357 Sig, 40 S&W or 45 ACP.

    Its mags do not interchange with other Sig mags.
