Thanks for the detailed pics. I'm intrigued enough that I may have to keep an eye out for one of these to play with.

I'm not interested in a carry gun with a manual safety, either. This would be an occasional carry piece that I only use in certain circumstances, and I want it to go into action the same way as every other gun that I carry.

I'm still looking for a small, reliable 9mm with an un-cocked action and no manual safety. I'm not sure what I want exists (Kahr is probably the closest but those also have a pre-cocked Striker), but I'm in no rush and can wait. If somebody comes out with a DA/SA or DAO micro-compact in the P365/hellcat/G43 form factor, and it actually works, I'll buy it.

To all my P290RS family, I had to tighten the trigger return spring and the trigger bar push-up spring to remove the random slack in the trigger bar/trigger reset.

Also, when using 8/10 rounds mags, always, after loading a full mag, use a pick or a thin punch to push the rounds tips upward in the mag via the spring latch hole.

could you share how you tightened the trigger return spring and the trigger bar push up spring?...also where did you find 8 and 10 round P290RS magazines???

Thanks,

by the way...I took mine to the range yesterday and it shot just fine but the trigger seems to feel different to me between dry fire and actual range fire...may be just in my head, I dunno...

mine still shoots just fine, accurate and reliable...

Never liked the deep trigger break of this design; I was always jerking or shoving the muzzle and too often I could unfortunately count on putting holes in places I never originally intended to aerate. The 290 was the problematic one, while the 290RS supposedly fixed most if not all of the issues. The P250 subcomp--albeit larger--was to me the far better SIG DOA during the 290's time in production.

I have owned my P290RS Extreme for more than a decade



Mine has been totally reliable with everything from bulk food metal jacket 115 grain ammunition up through premium 147 grain jacket hollow points. I have no idea how much ammunition I have put through mine over the years but I have allowed many of my associates to fire it so it is at least in the several thousands of rounds quite probably more but I don't count rounds so

I have never experienced a light strike with mine or a failure to feed or extract. Accuracy is very good for such a tiny firearm and I am more than pleased with it

When I want to pocket carry a 9MM firearm typically, this is what I carry at least when we're talking about semi autos
