SigSauer P-250's

[Distinguished Master]

First a little history, I am/was allways a big fan of the Sig's, I own 6 of them. I carried a P-220 throught my LEO career. I'm also a certified LEO and civilian firearms instructor (NRA also) in revolvers, pistols, shotgun & police rifle.  Firearms are my life (hobby).
Soon as the P-250's were available I placed an order with Sig for one in the compact size [know as the shell to them] with a 4" barrel two tone.  The P-250's are double action only with the sweetest DA pull you ever felt, this is called fireing assembly which is the serial numbered part that gets transferred from pistol to pistol.  The slide assembly can be ordered in the length you want to fit the shell you perfer, good idea "customizing your own".
The problem: when these pistols are assembled by the owner, and placed in the battery position, the slides do not come all the way back to the end of the grip frame [shell], there is no smooth flowing lines that Sig is known for.  I ordered another assembly from Sig this time in 45 caliber, when I installed the fireing assembly [which can only go in one way] then the rest of the pistol to the battery position, same thing, the slide sits about a quarter inch forward of the grip assembly.  Looks very sloppy, test fired and functions OK, no problems.  I wrote Sig a detailed letter about this and and so far no response [over 4 weeks].
It seems like the slides and parts are made at one place, then the grip shell another.  I checked and double checked the install of the fireing assembly and this is correct-as the take down pin would not line up if it was wrong anyway.
Has anyone else experienced this problem with the P-250's??   Really looking for feedback from you if you have one.  If I wanted a cheap poor quality pistol I would have bought a Glock (just kiddding, I can feel the mail comming now). Keep safe my friends and .

 I don't know of any one who has one yet, but commenting off the top of my head I would think that if they are consistently like that, and Sig is selling them, it is not a "Mechanical flaw" so much as just not getting the lines right.
Considering the potential for law suits I would bet it's just an ugly gun.  
Have you tried other barrel / slide lengths, being interchangeable might have something to do with it.

I won't go there for fear of being accused of Sig mamagement bashing!

I have the compact frame in medium and large size grips and a 9mm and 40 S&W upper/slide and mine looks just fine, it all lines up okay. I also have the full size grip in a large size with the 45 acp upper/slide and that lines up okay as well.

Maybe your grip modual is off. If it was me I'd take the whole thing to the gun store I bought it at and then put your slide on a different lower unit and see if it lines up and put a different upper on your grip and check that too.

Otherwise got to the sigforum adn get the e-mail address of the Sig customer service guy and tell him you want to sent the gun it to be checked over and explain the problem, they might be able to fix it or give you a new gun.
