One Serious SIG: SIG P250

Like so many superlatives, “innovative” has lost its punch thanks to overuse by unimaginative and overly enthusiastic marketing campaigns. Like many people, I’ve become immune to such marketing hype. In fact, I am more inclined to dismiss over-hyped products out of hand on general principle than give them a fair shake.

So when SIGARMS‘ Paul Erhardt called to tell me about a new SIG offering that he called “the most innovative pistol ever,” I listened but I was pretty skeptical. It’s no secret that the rise in the number of states passing “shall issue” concealed carry laws and the changing face of law enforcement have created an ever-increasing demand for flexible firearms to fit shooters of every shape and size. Some manufacturers have dealt with this situation with quick fixes such as replaceable back straps, thin grips and short triggers, while others have ignored the problem altogether.
