The SIG P250   is  readily convertible between 3 barrel lengths, 3 frame ( grip) sizes, and 4 service cartridges.
Available, and user convertible  for  .357SIG ,9mmP, .40SW , .45ACP.
Full size, compact, and Sub-compact, each with several grip sizes.
 Double action only.
Curiously, ( under $400 ) the P250 is the  cheapest handgun WITH night sights on the market.
Anybody  handle  or use  any variant of the P250?
What is the trigger like?
Which variant  do you like best?
Is the Subcompact  smaller or larger than , for ex, the Glock 26
comments  are welcome.
Thank you.

This is called a clue

No, I don't have enough range time or money to bother with POS firearms.

There is a reason these are so cheap.

The P250 is garbage. If you want a polymer framed SIG then get an SP2022.

the new ones seem to be working just fine.

By the time you spend the money to get new mags, a new barrel, new slide, and new grip frame, you might as well have just bought a new pistol.  It's also very top heavy, slide is pretty bulky.

Are we talking  Hi-Point - grade equipment?

Not that bad, worse than the typical Sig, maybe a little worse than the HK USP.  Quality isn't all that bad, it's just bulky.

I had one and got rid of it. For the limited number of rounds I ran through it, I did find it to be reliable. The slide seemed to be as wide as my Glock 21 and the trigger was something I could never get accustomed to.

DAO trigger kills it for me.

I rented one awhile ago and it had one of the worst triggers ever.

Second worst trigger I've ever handled (Sigma then P250)

The P250 Is a POS.

Don't just take my word for it, The BATFE and Dutch Police agree.

Always thought the idea had merit, though. But no, I've heard nothing but crappy reviews.

While its an interesting concept, Sig kind of fucked up the execution IMO. A friend of mine does WV CCW classes, and has had every P250 come through his class choke. Same with early gen 4, 9mm glocks. And he is a fan of both.

I bought a P250 when they first came out. No conversions were on the market and if and when one came up, they were damn near $400 or more
The gun honestly felt great in the hand but the double action trigger was awful, at first it feels so light but when you actually shoot it your trigger finger gets quite a workout.
Had a couple jams when it was new but I didn't keep it very long, just too many negatives for me....

Honestly, I would rather have a Sig SP2022

I forgot that about them. Trigger pull is very light and smooth for most of the pull. Then at the very end of the pull right before it breaks it seems to gain about ten pounds of resistance and get extremely gritty with a very hard break.



ETA:  I traded mine for a Winchester M12, pretty sure I'm the one that made out on that deal.

One of my shooting buddies was looking at one.  I tried to talk him out of it but he ended up getting it anyway.   Now he realizes he hates it and is looking to unload it.

I loved my Sig 250 five minutes before I shot it, and five minutes after I sold it. Hated it all the time between.

Cheap feeling polymer, easily scratched ( fingernails!)
Terrible trigger, long hard mushy.
Mediocre accuracy.

It did look and feel great in the gun store, all but the cheap plastic. But I thought I could live with it. I was wrong. I consider the 250 to be Sigs' Sigma.

I'm a SIG guy, and I just don't get the P250.

My buddy got one, has had some problems with it, but apparently is emotionally attached to it.

He really seems to like it, or at least wants to really like it.  If I never handle one again, I'll die happy.

I like my P250 SC 9mm. Purchased a G26 in early Dec. and sold it two weeks later. It did not work out for me and was not to accurate and jammed a bit on me. I Handled the P250 and liked it, then purchased one.. I like the small grip. It functioned when the G26 did not(limp wristn due to disability). and was more accurate than the G26 for me. Ive only had it for a few weeks and 70 rds. through it no problems, so we'll see how she does next time out

The caliber change is a lie.  They kits don't exist, if they did exist they wouldn't sell anyway due to the ridiculous high prices.



Among the worst triggers ever.



The whole P250 tale is just a big lie.

If you need a gun in a different size, buy another gun.  Hopefully a similar one.  (I.e. Glock 26, 19, 17 or Sig p220 compact & p220)


Caliber switching is not something that is practiced too much either.   Most switchable handgun calibers are not that far off in price to justify the cost of a swap.


This modular baloney looks good on paper, but in reality is silly.  The costs to switch parts are high, and are seldom in stock is my experience.   A few companies have tried this with rifles.  Always fail.
