I am looking to spend on a new Sig and I'm really interested in either the 250 in 9mm or a 2022 in 9mm. I like the polymer frame on them and really like the idea of the 250 and the ability to adapt the guns size and such. But I really like the old fashion DA/SA setup which, as far as I can tell, isn't an option on the 250. I have little time in with the two so I would love to hear any first hand impressions on the 2 and any known issues with them. I am primarily wanting this to be a full size carry gun.

Sig forums have all the answers you could want.

I really trust the opinions of those users on this site more than any where else. So I may go there as well but I would first like to get thoughts here.

Good luck

I'm not, nor have I ever been, a Sig owner so take this for what it is worth.
I've not heard much good about the 250. Supposedly the trigger sucks big time. Over the last few months I have sold a few handguns on local sales sites. As soon as a gun hits the site I would get four or five (different) offers to trade a Sig 250 for it. That kind of leads me to believe that they aren't all they are cracked up to be.
YMMV.

Hi garand. I have had a Sig 2022 in 9mm for about 4 years and it now has nearly 7K rounds through it. I have never replaced anything on the gun...I just clean it after I shoot. I've put reloads, stock, FMJ, HP, Wolf steel casings, lead reloads, everything. It eats everything I feed it and always goes boom.
The trigger isn't the sweetest, but I"ve never done anything to it, and I do have pistols that I can shoot more accurately. I originally got it for the SA/DA which I thought would work out for me and it does. The DA trigger pull is heavy enough that you will NOT fire the weapon unless you really want to.
I held a 250 once but never fired it. It is newer, probably lighter and maybe, better balanced, but I have heard that there are some problems.
I can say for a fact, though that my 9mm 2022 is a solid service weapon. It's certainly not "compact" but it does have that "To Hell and back" reliability they advertise.

Buds guns has the 250 for $361.00 on sale.

I have owned a number of SIGs. I happen to love my SIG P250 in 9mm. The double action is very smooth, much smooth than the DAK. I like the fact that you can easily switch frame sizes; I much prefer the small frame.

If you get a 250 and you want all the newest features, make sure you are not buying an older but still NIB gun. As I understand it, the older 'original' 250 does not interchange mags or frames with the newest version.
I have seen a few 250s, but I think all of them were the older style. They were OK. I like the hammer (instead of a striker), having grown up shooting the 1911, S&W 2nd and 3rd gens, and SIG P-2x0s.

There have been a few threads about the Sig P250

Too much to read. If mine is typical, get the 2022 and enjoy the DA/SA, the full- size feel, 15+1, and the reliable comstruction, and then you don't have to read anymore.

If this helps, then great but the Houston Chronicle had an Academy Ad today displaying those guns. For the compact Sig 250 in 9mm they wanted $499 and the 2022 was $399. Interestingly the .40 cal Sig 250 was also $399. It seems the 9mm Sig 250 is more popular based on price. With that said I don't own one and am more a Glock or Ruger SR9c kind of guy.

I have no experience with the 2022 other than holding it in a shop but I personally hate the 250. I like the feel of the 2022 but haven't shot one. My opinions on the 250 are in either the last or 2nd to last thread that tombogan linked on the 1st page. Over the last 3 years or so I've owned or shot at least 50 different auto pistols and the 250 is right at the bottom. I couldn't get rid of that piece of crap fast enough. I also agree that there have to be others out there in the same boat, I do a lot of trading and every time I list a new trade it seems like someone offers me a 250.
