I currently own 2 P250 9mm's (nightstand/EDC) and just picked up a new P290RS.
After my first range trip w/the P290RS, I am simply amazed. I shoot it faster and more accurately right out of the box than I do the P250 after several weeks of practice! (I wouldn't have believed it possible in light of the P290RS' much smaller grip, shorter sight radius & harder trigger). So, to make a long story short, I'm thinking of selling one of my P250's and replacing it w/another P290RS (P250 for nightstand, P290RS' for EDC). Which is preferable and why?: Two P250's & one P290RS or one P250 and two P290RS'? All input welcome... Tomac |

Did you try any of the 'classic' SIGs like P226/P228/P229/P239 ?? I would recommend trying them out before letting go of any of your SIG guns. I would prefer an P239 over an P250 on the trigger on the EDC portion. I really like the SRT trigger offered in the P239, though the restrike portion of the P290RS is good since it allows shooters to pull the trigger again on the striker powered P290.
But if I was limited to just P250/P290RS... I would trade the extra P250 for the P290RS because I carry handguns more often than have a nightstand weapon in the ready mode. |

I don't care for the std DA/SA transition and under stress don't want to sweat a manual safety. I really like the P250's DAO-trigger (consistent trigger and no manual safety) hence my interest in the P290RS as a companion piece since the controls/triggers are almost identical (no training issues).

You can get most of the P22x guns in DA. They don't have a manual safety. Quoted:

Manual safety? Yes, like the 1911's thumb safety, for example. Tomac You can get most of the P22x guns in DA. They don't have a manual safety. Yup. In addition to DA/SA, SIG offers DAO and "DAK", which IMO is a great for a double action trigger. |

Tomac Sell all P250, replace with all P290RS, it is always desirable to have as many as possible, of your selected arm. If funding is not a problem and your P250 retain sentimental value, keep them. Consider what noted expert DocGKR has written at the link below: DocGKR: After having gone through the juvenile collector stage of idiotically wasting money.... Please refer to that link for more insight. About the fourth paragraph up from the bottom, DocGKR writes quote below: "... After having gone through the juvenile collector stage of idiotically wasting money by purchasing one or two of every type of service pistol ever produced, I finally grew-up and realized it is far better to strive to master one quality pistol type, then be perpetually mediocre with many. I strongly recommend purchasing two or three identical pistols once you have decided upon the model that you plan to use, carry, and train with. I dedicate one pistol for carry after thoroughly vetting function with 1000 or so rounds through it. Another identical pistol is solely used for training--it is shot till it breaks with minimal cleaning or babying during its service life. If I am able to afford a third pistol, it serves as a back-up to the other two and usually sits in an easily accessible safe as a readily available personal defense weapon mounting an x300 light...." Hope PJA PJS Investments Company does not run any more great sales, so the goal DocGKR recommends can be reached
