A question for Sig experts;

Why is the Sig 250 selling for HALF the price of a 226 or any other Sig pistol?

Is it made in China or something?
 
Polymer frame, and double action only I believe.

Comes down to supply and demand, and the 250 is not very saught after.

It is designed and marketed to compete with the lower priced Glock, and M&P that are so popular so the price point has to be similar.
 
Actually the gun works fine. There is a lot of negativity out there but about they failed tests from the air marshalls/govt agencies in the US but so has many other gun types. The real problem is the the gun was introduced to be a custom fitting sidearm for the LE market similar to the Gen4 Glocks. The beauty was you could change the grip frame and calibers and still maintain the same FCU fire control unit. As it was the FCU that was registered, one could swap calibers/frames without having to worry about registrations etc. Biggest roblem was SIG introduced it so quickly that they failed to provide adequate support for the other goodies. It was almost impossible to find caliber change kits or grip frames in the US for over a year when they first came out and here in Canada I still havnt seen one, altho I am sure some trickled thru. Its actually a really nice shooting gun and the DAO is an easy pull. I have yet to experience a failure with it but then again I am not shooting 1000rds at a time, driving over it, burying it in the ground etc. I am still hoping to get a couple of caliber change kits but that wont be happening up here I expect.

I have to admit that I love the concept - basically the gun is the chassis - everything else is a part. This means that with the same chassis you can have any combination of parts to suit yourself. You should be able to register a chassis and then pick the grip frame, slide, barrel and caliber (and change them at will). Reality falls short of that goal, largely due to Sig's intransigence.
 
The pistol works fine. It has a long but very smooth DA only trigger pull which many people dislike. It's true that Sig has really fallen down in trying to promote this pistol and was slow to produce different calibre's and accessories though. The problem with the conversions in Canada is that Sig has focused on producing versions for the American market which of course means shorter barrels and concealed carry models.
 
Tom Cruise used a two-tone one in Knight and Day that is pretty sweet.

pretty much sums it up. If DAO is your style go with the 250, if you like DA/SA get the 2022, it's a great gun.
