Sig Sauer P290 - Subcompact 9mm

[ocphy]

Everyone needs an extra Sig.... or at least that is what I am gonna tell to myself

Kinda my thought. I have 3 or 4 on a list right now

I definitely want to look at and handle one. I'd like to shoot one back to back with a PM9.

The grip panels don't look like they could be replaced with a Crimson Trace type thing. It would have to extend up and above where the cutout for the trigger finger is.

Maybe it replaces the recoil spring guide? I've heard of setups like that before.

E: Like this. Also holy balls those are expensive.

If you look, there is an iddy biddy rail in front of the trigger guard, that it states is for the laser. My question is how closely the laser "hugs" the bottom of the muzzle.

I hope this allows it to be slim and sleek, unlike the trigger guard ones you see on an LCP or Kel-Tec.

You suck!

What do you just stay on the lookout for cool stuff like this? I've seen more cool sub-compact threads from you than anyone else on this board.

You may have just cost me some money man. That thing is seriously looking cool.

I wasn't a fan of the LCP, the LCR, or the Kahr 380 (and I resisted the Sig P238 due to not wanting to get into .380), but this thing is going to end up in a holster owned by me very soon.

Good! Let's put it up against my PPS and write up a comparison.

Oh, cool thanks!

Not too bad really, though if they can make a laser fit in a spring/guide rod assembly I would think they could sleek this on up a bit more. Oh well, still better than many.

Neat looking gun, I wonder how much $$$ it will be.

Looks neat. I would love something a little heavier than the Kahr PM9 for such a small gun. Don't really dig the exposed hammer though. For something that small I think I'd prefer a striker setup.

That's the big question on everyone's mind. The P238 came out priced very competatively in retail stores (good ones anyways), but quickly jumped in price to what I consider too much.

I'll be catching this one early if it does the same thing.
