Campbell considers unarmed skills the first line of defense and the handgun the last resort. He holds a degree in Criminal Justice but is an autodidact in matters important to his readers. The pistol is accurate enough for any conceivable defense chore.īob Campbell’s primary qualification is a lifelong love of firearms, writing, and scholarship. I also fired the 124-grain PDX load and achieved similar results. I fired the Winchester 115-grain Silvertip first, putting three shots into 2.0 inches at 15 yards. I used the MTM K-Zone shooting rest for testing accuracy. As for absolute accuracy, I fired a couple of three-shot groups at 15 yards. This pistol features excellent hit probability and modest recoil. This is a very smooth pistol that is well suited to personal defense. As the pistol recoils, allow the trigger to reset, and then fire again. Draw, line the sights up, press the trigger, and fire. The pistol offers excellent hit probability. Homing in on a man-sized target at 5 and 7 yards, I drew and fired quickly from a Galco belt slide.

You don’t need a hollow point for practice, and full metal jacket bullets are much less expensive. Active Duty is a clean-burning and accurate loading that I use often. Not much larger, much stronger.įor this report, I loaded the pistol with Winchester’s Active Duty load. While longer and heavier than a single-action or striker-fired pistol, this is a smooth and useful trigger action.įor size comparison, the P250 is compared to a CZ 83. During recoil, the hammer is not cocked by the slide. The hammer rises and falls, firing the pistol. The pistol is fired by pressing the trigger to the rear. Sometimes heft, fit, and comfort with a particular type of trigger action are more important than speed and accuracy.įiring a box of 50 rounds in practice is fine, but getting the first shot on target is more important - as is safe handling. The SIG P250 action is a good compromise. If you are afraid of chamber-loaded carry, then you need a revolver. The action seems particularly safer to leave at ‘home ready,’ fully loaded, for immediate access. While the P250 is as simple to use as a striker-fired pistol, the action is perceived as safer to operate.

The manual of arms is simple - load, holster, draw, and then fire. Like all SIG Sauer pistols, the SIG P250 is easily fieldstripped and maintained. The magazine well offers real speed for reloads - a large magazine well and tapered magazine always do! The pistol is a hammer-fired double-action-only pistol. The grip treatment features a good mix of abrasion and adhesion. A great deal of research went into this grip. The fit and feel of the grip frame make for real speed on target. The polymer frame helps make the pistol affordable. Just the same, the grip frame is a polymer frame.
The pistol, quite simply, doesn’t feel like polymer. The grip frame offers an exceptionally good fit for most hand sizes.
My pistol was chambered in 9mm Luger, others are available in. My compact version was supplied with two 15-round magazines. These sights offer excellent hit probability in speed shooting and are accurate when properly aligned. The sights are well-designed three-dot types. Instead of having the slide cock the hammer for the next shot, the SIG P250 is a double-action-only handgun.
