I would have to agree. I've been waiting for the full-size and sub-compact 9mm kits/models to come out. Since Sig seems to be moving on these not at all, now I'm thinking about getting a G17 and G26 instead.

Well, I put my money where my mouth is, trading the P250 for a Glock 26 to along with my 19. That should be Sig's cue to release the sub-compact model. The day after I get a Glock 17, Sig will release the large frame model.

Is there a particular reason to trade one pistol that will eventually be modular (theoretically) for a pistol that has no chance of being modular?

Are you just looking for three frame sizes on the same platform?

Correct. I want a DAO (Glock's trigger mechanism counts to me) full-size, compact, and sub-compact with the same basic dynamics. I was never very interested in switching calibers - I've settled on 9mm for pistols - just having different size options that are otherwise similar.

I'd like a Sub-compact P250 .45acp to replace my P232, but I suspect that will be the last P250 released.

Nah, the 10mm sub-compact'll be last.

Don Glock, given the current political climate, suspect that guns which do not take high cap mags will not have priority of those that do? Just my .02, no inside knowledge!

Good point! I was going with the fact that the full-sized.45acp is going to be released first.

I am too also in the group that is disappointed with the P250 (My first Sig) product accessory support.

I talked a friend into purchasing one as well, and he just traded it in. I still have mine and that Friend gave me his spare 9mm mag's; Now my mag count is upto 7. :-)

The dealer where I purchase the P250 has the display with the different frames but hasn't been able to get the conversion kits.

I'm also taken back by the lack of third party support for aftermarket products. This is no fault of Sig.

Mainly Crimson Trace!!!

Don Glock, while just a guess, thinking 45C would be next released. Since Mec-Gar makes all OEM mags for Sig.....and for many other manufacturers, too, thinking Med-Gar is having a lot of trouble keeping up with demand for all their clients, not to mention to support new models/variations?

I some time ago suggested to close upper management contact at Sig, that Sig needed a contingency plan for another mag supplier due to demands on Mec-Gar, should election have results that it did. Not even considered, as far as I know?

Nerves, I was really disappointed to see the Sig/CT relationship go away, thinking huge mistake to think STL light/laser would or could fill the gap! CT could likeley do something similar to Glock models I should think? Maybe CT is feeling a little "peevish" about dissolution of relationship and/or not enough 250's in curculation to warrant development? Possibly even waiting for "entire family" to be out to long for "common denominators" throughout line to ease manufacturing and minimize number of SKU's?

This may have already been asked and answered, but can you use a magazine from a 226-9mm in a 250-9mm?

Thanks.

As far as I know, no.

No you cannot, as I have tried. It will fit in the mag well but will not lock into place.

The problem with the 226 mags is that they are too narrow. They were designed for 9X19 and not anything bigger. However the 229 magwell is just a little wider which lets a slightly wider mag fit as well as the narrower 226 mag. This is why original 226 and 229 mags held the same amount. You also cant put a 229 mag into the 226 because the mag is too wide. The 250 seems to also have the indentations in the side of the mags that reduces friction and allows the rounds to rotate better even with dirt in the mag. It would have been simple to make the catch in a way that would let you use 226 mags in a 250. However, since the 250 mags are an improvement in several ways, reliability in theory a big one, it is better to just let the old one die. If ever adopted as a replacement for M9 by the military the choice is much better for our troops. There is zero chance that old mags and cost cutting will effect reliability of mags.

Will the P250 mags for .40 also work for the .357SIG (when it finally arrives). Is this correct? I've seen pictures of the mags and they only say .40 on the side, so I just wanted to be sure if I were to order some in the future.

They should, the diameter of those two rounds are exactly the same

I saw and handled a 250 Compact in .40S&W and was impressed with it, especially the trigger.
I am only interested in the Compact in .357 chambering. Does anyone know when this will be available?
Thanks,
Marsh

I'm interested in the P250, as demonstrated by the fact that I've just completed reading "The Official Word" from the very beginning (this may prove I'm too crazy to be trusted with one), perhaps a first.

Anyway, I've been a little surprised that what struck me as several very important issues that were raised and discussed by a number of people a while back seem to have completely disappeared. I'm referring to the light strike problem, the FTE problem, and the tendency of the slide to release unexpectedly when magazines were inserted. Have these all been resolved? None of them? Given my own personal concerns, these are the issues that, if they haven't been resolved, would keep me from jumping on the P250 bandwagon at this time more than the fact of the 250 being a modular system ... except for the absence of other modules.

I sent my P250 back to Sig to address the slide release problem. I am please to say that they replaced the slide release lever and the problem has been solved. The tension on the lever is considerably more than originally. Seating a magazine even with a good deal of authority does not get the slide to unexpectedly release.

I have not encountered the light strike issue, so I cannot speak to that. I will say that I have run a great deal of different kinds of ammo including quite a few reloads with no problems.

What I do not know about the slide release problem is whether it was an early problem that was fixed in later serial numbers or not. My gun's serial number is in the 500's so I guess it was a pretty early one.

Oh yeah, then there is the lack of availability of other modules. Certainly a point of contention that you have read a lot about now. I have to say that I am really disappointed in Sig over this one. I know every manufacturer has their delays, but this is ridiculous. I do like this gun though. I carry it often and shoot it in IDPA, IPSC & 3 gun meets among other guns.

My P250 works most of the time. I would say of the 800 rounds I have shot I have had maybe 5 issues. So I wouldn't exactly call that to hell and back reliability, but I would call it.. "To the store and back reliability." Besides, if I was going into hell, I would want my XD .45!

I have to agree with you on the XD. I have the XDSC 9mm and have put just over 3500 rounds through that gun without a single hiccup. I even used it for a IDPA qualification and surprised myself when I got bumped to sharpshooter with it.

My Beretta PX4 .40 has also performed extremely well with close to 5k rounds through it. I would take both of those guns beyond the store and back. I have no reason to doubt my P250's ability to get the job done, but I also plan on steering clear of hell.
