JGIORDNeed help with 250 exchange kit
I have a P250SC 9mm and just received my compact 9mm exchange kit. Taking the FCU out of the sub compact was no problem however putting into the compact frame it doesn’t seem to line up correctly. With the take down hole lined up the slide stop rides behind the cutout on the frame. If I line up the slide stop the take down hole isn’t lined up
Is this a known issue? Is the subcompact FCU a different size than the other sizes?
Is there a different photo storage site other than photobucket? The site has become a real pain to work with with all the ads.

Colby BruceThe new grip module may be for the smaller size slide release levers. You will need the new style lever assembly.

gc70Colby Bruce is correct.
Your FCU has the older, tall and rearward-sloped slide release. The Compact grip module is the newer style for the shorter and forward-pointing slide release.
This article explains the differences in grip modules and slide releases - with photos.

JGIORDOK Thanks
Looks like I will need to wait as it is currently out of stock.

gc70I would call SIG and ask if they would just send one. New slide releases were routinely shipped with new grip modules for a while.

JGIORDWill do.
Thanks

JGIORDOk dumb question. Are the mags the same?
December 24, 2017, 08:18 PM
Colby BruceYes, mags, barrels, grip modules are the same with the P250/P320 pistols, except there are variations as already stated. The original P250 grip modules were shaped different around the mag well, had different checkering, different mag bases.
