Guns Holsters and Gear

I just recently had the chance to watch the Cam and Company interview with representatives from Sig Sauer at the 2008 SHOT show.

Cam interviewed Sig Sauer president and CEO Ron Cohen. Cohen and Adam Pinchot demonstrated the new Sig P250 pistol. Cohen emphasized that the P250 is innovative and unique. I agree completely.

“It’s not a gun; it’s a system,” said Cohen. Cohen and Pinchot then demonstrated how easy it is to change grips to fit the user. If you are not familiar with the P250 platform, the serialized receiver drops down into a polymer frame, which comes in three sizes. The different sized frames allows the user to determine which fits his or her hand the best. Switching frames takes only a few seconds.

Sig also offers a short trigger in addition to the standard trigger, creating a total of six different combinations a user can choose from to find the best fit.

What is also exciting about the P250 is that the owner can easily swap between four different calibers: 9mm, .357 Sig, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP. All of this is accomplished with a single receiver.

Cohen stressed that no single gun can fit all people well. As the P250 is not a “single gun,” it allows “the dealer to adapt it to your requirement,” he said. The P250 offers “a suitcase of options” that “lets you change caliber and size at will.”

Cohen said the P250 has a six pound double action trigger with a crisp break. Pinchot stressed that the trigger does not have an unbearable long pull, rather the P250 has a smooth trigger with a quick reset.

Cohen promised “There is no compromise on quality, accuracy, or safety.” Yet, Cohen said the MSRP on the P250 is “around $650,” which makes it one of the least expensive guns Sig Sauer has brought to market. MSRP on Sig’s website lists it at $699.
