I Love Sigs also just playing with my P250 now.  Not the same quality as your P239 but I like playing with my guns and you sure can do that with the 250.

In 9mm compact now but just ordered set up for the 40 subcompact.  

Dino.  Been thinking about getting a Sig P250 Subcompact  Sig .357.  Any thoughts on this round in so small of a gun?

Not that I was asked but that is a pocket rocket.

Great cartridge. Look at the specs on the 250. If they offer weight and dimensions similar to P239, you are good to go.

Tracker and ACP.  Your knowledge is appreciated.  ACP, I do like the P239 as well, but thought I would go with the smaller size.  It looks like a six to eight week wait on the P250 while the P239 is in stock.

I would go with the 239; that is about as low as I would go for
the .357 Sig except for the Glock 32, which is about like the 239
in size. I agree with ACP on the superb ballistics of the .357 Sig
and have really enjoyed shooting it in a Glock 22 and a Sig 229.

The P250 is 4.6 ozs. lighter, unloaded, than the P239 but holds 3 more rds.  Barrel length is the same.  I like the P250 in that you can change calibers, 9mm, .40, and .45 from the Sig.357.

Probably wouldn't change calibers but would be nice if you wanted to.

I hope the quality of this new Sig is better than some of the
recent ones I have seen but I would be very surprised if it were.

I think it is but it would take a side-by-side comparison to
see for certain. The 239 has quite a following and proven
record, though.

How would a Glock 33 subcompact compare in quality to a Sig P239 in the caliber of Sig. 357?

Quite superbly. I was just looking at a 32 today and it is very
close in size to the 239. Dollar for dollar you just can't beat a
Glock for quality, reliability, and parts availability, imo.

First, I am really surprised at the size of the 250 compact. Is that new or have I just not seen it in the smaller configuration?

Sorry to read tracker's comments about recent Sig quality. I have nothing to go on but I have great respect for his views.

I give a grudging nod to Glock as superior. I do so because I have already admitted my prejudice toward metal guns. I also like exposed hammers, even when they are bobbed, as in R9.

Glock engineering, accuracy, durability is unbeatable. Yes, I prefer pretty guns, but Glock will never fail you when you need it.

I think the Sig. 250 Sub Compact is new, but don't know how new.

I'm really a quality fanatic, and that's why I got the R9s.  It looks like the Glock has the edge.  I  want a subcompact in Sig.357 caliber and it looks like this will fill the bill.

Thanks Tracker and ACP for your input.  It's amazing, when you get one gun, you want another, then another, and it keeps on going from there.  It does make life interesting.
