Looks kind of fat based on the bore.

You duped yourself.

Wow, I kinda like it. If they aren't crazy stupid with the price, it may go over fairly well.
We shall see.

So .28" thinner than a 26. It'll be interesting to feel the difference.

Hopefully its not typical sig overpriced junk.

The grip looks SERIOUSLY small though...

The removable grip plates allow for customization with aluminum, wood, and polymer and can be engraved with your initials for a true customized pistol (coming soon).

Yeah, that ranks highly on my list of desired features.

It looks to be based of the p250, so I'll be staying well away.

If the price is decent, I will get one. It will fill the role that my S&W 940 currently does. It also looks like it would be a great appendix carry weapon... only .9 inches wide.

Looks like Sig finally got hit with the clue stick. My guess is that, as other people have stated, it's along the same lines as the P250 in price and function.

Now, let's see if someone can use that stick to get a clue through Glock's thick skull and get them to make something similar in size.

1)Not Glock's target market.

2)Not importable.

I thought glock was making at least some frames in GA now?

Glock, Inc. USA makes pistols for export only, though you can find some fullsize standard caliber frames in the US.

If it weighed 18 ounces unloaded with a magazine it would make 75 points in 9mm.

Now if they had sense, they could put a 6 inch barrel on it and offer a shorter barrel as an option like they do with the target sights all glocks are imported with.

Glock can import a single stack small 9mm- they just don't see fit to do so.

The Walther PPS makes enough importation points. My Walther PPS is a good rig and it is very slim.

One other "similar" compact 9mm to add to the mix is the Bersa BP9- but I have not been able to find anyone who has one.

I hope to see the compact slim 9mm market get crowded with competition.

It looks like MSRP is $530 with NS. HERE

Well, if glock decided to make a single stack, slim 9mm there should be no reason that factory couldnt make them, no need to worry about importation points then.

But like you said, thats probably not the market they want.
