poorfish88 Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 It's a good gun, but it needs fit to you. The P 250 does have a long trigger pull, but Sig makes excellent guns. If it fits you, then you made a good choice. Not my cup of tea but its a good defensive pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayodell41 Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I will be going to a local shop on Wednesday. I have made a list of all the guns suggested and I will try them out to see what fits best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 For $500, it is hard here, but H&K is where to invest if you are going to lay down cash at all. Not a fan of Glock. Any specific models? HK 45 Compact - http://www.hk-usa.com/civilian_products/hk45c_general.aspor HK P2000 SK (sub-compact) - http://www.hk-usa.com/civilian_products/p2000sk_general.asp only thing about the hk is its a metal frame so.its heavier and they are expensive even used. Mags are never cheap either. Good pieces though. the sig 250 gets a meh from me. Ir does nothing better than a glock or a xd or an m&p which are the frontrunners in that price range and style. It also has expensive mags that are much harder to find. If I was picking at this point it would be a glock an xd or a smith and wesson m&p in compact size in the caliber of your choice. Buy a good belt as well THERE IS NO BUILD LOG! 1998 Chevy Silverado ext cab Alpine CDA-9887 4 Team Fi 15s 2 Ampere Audio TFE 8.0 2 Ampere Audio 150.4 3 Digital Designs CS6.5 component sets Dual Mechman 370XP Elite alternators inbound! 8 XS Power d3400 6 XS power d680 Second Skin Stinger Tsunami Wiring Sky High A Real Voltmeter not a piece of shit stinger.

philrab Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Less than $500 would put you in several Rossi revolvers, and I've had friends and my father own and shoot then without complaint. If revolver is something you're interested in. Under $500 in a semi auto, I'd personally hunt for second hand 1911's. 2015 Toyota Tacoma Build Thread 2007 Mazda 3; 5000K HID's, Kenwood Excelon KDC-X997, Infinity Reference 6.5 comps in front and coaxials in the rear doors, JL 320.4 four channel, Rab Designs built ported enclosure with an SA12, Kenwood monoblock, Redline Leater shift boot/e-brake boot/center console cover, JBR short shifter/shifter bushings/rear motor mount. Build Thread 1996 Mazda Miata: Kenwood Excelon HU, Alpine speaker in the doors, Clearwater (miata specific) headrest speakers. 1994 Mazda Protege: Kenwood Excelon HU, Infinity Reference 2 ways all around, 2x RF Punch 10's in ported boxes.

tayodell41 Posted May 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Went to the gun range on Wednesday. The pistols I liked the most/ that felt the best to me were a Glock 17, an S&W M&P, and a Taurus (I forget which model) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
