I was just wondering if anybody has or has shot a Sig 250? does the trigger compare to a Kahr?

I have a gen-2 Sig P250 subcompact in .45 and love it. Solid build quality, great balance, highly visible sights and no problems feeding during its break-in period. Fantastic trigger too, IF (and this is a big IF) you are experienced with revolvers. See, the P250 has a DAO hammer that involves a long draw, but the break is clean with absolutely no stacking like a revolver has. In fact, it's as smooth as the first shot out of my Beretta 92FS, with just a little longer draw. I'm able to shoot 1" centers, one-handed, at 20' with mine. The P250 is double-strike capable.
But that's not exactly what you asked. I have a CM45 as well, and the triggers are totally different other than they're both very smooth. Striker vs. Hammer. Pseudo SA vs. DAO. My CM45 is smaller and 1/3 lb lighter. The P250 is easier to grip, sight and shoot. -
on fun day at the range, I'll rent a S&W mdl.66. on serious days I practice with a CM or CW 9mm Kahr. to me, both have a long, smooth DA trigger pull. (to me, J-frames suck and Glocks are just to "Glocky"-- that explains a lot, huh?) I've shot some DA/SA pistols (Ruger P-89, Beretta 92) and I can see where the first DA shot is a "warning shot", before getting down to business with the following SA shots. so the P250 has a smooth trigger, as smooth and long as the Kahr, better than a Kel-Tec? I have to find one of these in a gun store and take a closer look. thanks.Comment

The P250 models can be found at great prices especially now that Sig is doing a name reboot with the P320, which is mostly a P250, just with striker fire. If you do buy a P250, avoid gen-1 models which had reliability problems and caused a couple agencies to cancel their orders. Get P250s with "Sig" stamped high on the frame, not in the middle of the grip. There are full frame, compact and subcompact option of multiple calibers. All are fantastic guns - even that "Nutnfancy" vlogger guy loves them.Comment

Nice, looks about right. I paid $355 plus tax for my NIB .45 SC at a gun show after a little haggling.Comment

(a little off topic, sidebar for ScottM)
went to the range this morning and they didn't have a P250, I'll catch up with one at a gun store after the holidays, I have to see if the 25oz. weight is going to be worth it. anyway, while I was at the range and had some christmas money, I rented a .45. this is pure fantasy coming to life. H&K .45 Tactical. huge, heavy thing, biggest sights I've ever seen(and I could see them). knife thru butter DA pull. scary light SA pull. little recoil, no pain--nothing at all like a CW45. a box of 50 left the center of the target shot out. fun to shoot a gun that knows the job. I can't afford it and couldn't carry it, so the world is safe.Comment

I looked at a 250 45 several years ago since I'm a SIG fan. To me the trigger pull seemed much longer than a Kahr, and that with the weight turned me off.Comment

Agreed, their subcompact is 30% heavier than Kahr's PM45/CM45 and all its dimensions are a little bigger too. A lot of people do carry it concealed in the winter OK but the reason why I bought a CM45 is because the latter is decidedly easier to carry. Sure hope it shoots nearly as well because my P250 is as pleasurable to fire as I'd hope for a sub-$400 pistol. I'll probably keep both.Originally posted by O'Dell View PostComment

^^^ good insights Scott from someone who owns both. I've always been drawn to the P250 but have yet to try one.O|||||||OComment

I'll agree about the HK's. I have an HK45c, a compact Stainless USP45, and a FS USP40. All are very accurate and easy to shoot well. The USP40 is a bit large for me to carry, but with excellent night sights and a 14 round mag, it makes a good home defense pistol. I do carry the two compacts occasionally when I can cover a belt holster.Originally posted by marcinstl View PostComment

the CW45 would just wear me out, finally traded it for a CM9. I can't imagine punishing myself with a CM45--yikes! I think a lightweight .45 is a young mans gun. I shoot big, heavy guns with big sights much better than carry guns. for a while I was playing with the idea of cross chest strap, "messenger " bag with a built in holster to carry a large, high capacity gun-- never got past the prototype stage. better to have a small gun on your body.Comment

True, better to have a small gun than no gun at all when you need it, and to be honest an LCP or a CW380 beats both the CM9 and CM45 in carry comfort. But sometimes a larger gun just feels right :-).Comment

I don't have a problem with my CM45, nor did I have one with the PM45 that was stolen. I've also had two CW45's and they're pussycats to shoot, IMO. I think that all of them are easier to shoot than the PM or CM 40, but my heavier MK40 is one of my favorite shooters.
BTW, I'm on the wrong side of 70.Comment

That's great O'Dell - I sure hope I'm target shooting as well as you when I'm on the wrong side of 70!Comment
