A "modular" handgun. It looks really interesting and the price looks pretty good for a Sig. I am looking forward to trying one out.

I've seen magazine reviews on it a few times. It looks like a very nice gun, but I did not see a price yet... how much is it?

[Thor]

MSRP on the regular one is $700 and the Two Tone is $750 (right from their site).

[JoeH]

That can't be the price for all three frames and all three barrels (one caliber, different lengths). If it is, it's a good MSRP for all that Sig.

So, what part of the gun is the legal firearm? Is it the part with the grip, or the fire control group? I'm curious.

This looks like it has the potential of becoming the AR of handguns...

The firearm in this case is the metal assembly that contains the firecontrol group, frame rails and most important the serial number.

It is a unique idea and may well become the AR as far as adaptability and customization. Should be interesting to see.

Bill's is going to have some of the first P250s in the country. I have six (and only six) that should be arriving by the 20th. I've been told that the next shipment won't be for a couple of months at least.

(yes they know how to stir up demand at Sig)

They will be all 9mm in black and two-tone. The drop in 40SW and 45ACP assemblies will be coming sometime next year.

Squib Joe,

Are they all spoken for already, and if not, how much will they be?

[Squib Joe]

None are spoken for, and the best estimate I can give on price would be 625-675

I wish I had some extra money...

I made a deposit right before the IDPA match on Sunday and now Bill's has one in bi tone and 4 in black . Normally I would not buy one of 1st ones off the line but this is a SIG, ( Flame suit ON) and I'll let you know. For the $650 + price you get one gun, similar in size to the Sig 229. Per Sig management the 9mm slide has been reworked and will also support 357SIG and the 40S&W in the same holster, obviously with a new barrel and mags. Since 9mm is European choice the SIG engineers in NH finalized the design to suit the American LEO preference for the 40S&W, thus the delayed introduction.

I've looked but not seen what the different frames will cost, $400 was mentioned, but not confirmed or denied on the SIG forum. God, I hope not for a Polymer grip! The "medium" grip I'll receive is described as just slightly larger around than the Glock 19, which will be fine. Trigger is normal and DAO testing 5.5 to 6 lbs.

It was clear the 45 ACP will come later, much like the M&P 45 did, but I've not seen a date. Also unanswered is will the mags from my 229 SAS fit the SIG 250? With the 229 I have in 40S&W I purchased a BarSto conversion barrel and can shoot 9mm using the 229 40 mags. Here's hoping they fit, again I'll let the group know. SIG forum advising they are shipping later this week to dealers, I hope that is accurate and it does confirm the arrival dates Joe gave me.

Be interesting to see Glock's response. They have been peddling the SF G21 frame only replacement to LEOs, but need to do a lot more to catch the M&P and SIG.

Ran across this site with some information about the development time line of this pistol. Sounds like this project started circa 2001, and was introduced March 2004 in Germany.

Joe has been doing a great job of keeping me up to speed. The 4 all black SIG 250's arrived last week ( Bill's price is $689 for black, more for the one Bi Tone) Bill's deals direct with SIG as a "SIGnificant dealer, yeah that is what they call it" and they swear the 250 bi tones are leaving the factory this week. I'll let you know when I have mine and what I think of it after I shoot it.
