Larry, the 250 is a DA only....kid was a Sig rep...bought it for his bride that thought it was too heavy. One I wound up with was the one I shot. On a silouette at 10 yds, they were all k5's....trigger is a measurted 5.1lbs. Paid too much but it shoots without a problem!!! Plus, in Denver the Hydros are going for $1.50 a round....IF you can find it! 12rd mag...
Didn't get it for a regular shooter, just a carry!

I just picked up an XD40 for daily open carry. If I can find a decent IWB holster for my PT140 Millennium that will be my CCW piece. Since I'll be carrying pretty much all the time once I retire from the AF in a few months you can bet I'll be taking them both out as often as I can for practice

My daily carry gun is a KEL-TEC P-32. It is small, light, and easy to carry.

I own other larger handguns, but they tend to stay at home.

Have several small autos I use, mainly a Ruger LCP and a Para PDA 9mm. Sometimes also carry my old Colt LW Commander in 45 acp. Wanted a revolver also as carried mainly revolvers during my LE career plus was a factory trained S&W Armorer. Couldn't find much readily available, but a distributor had 2 different ones that interested me. Number one was a Taurus 905G 9mm that uses full moon clips. Works like a charm, will work with it more once we get a day above freezing. The other one will arrive Tues. and it is a Charter Arms .327 Fed. Mag. Already have an older Ruger Single Six in 32 H&R Mag so that's why I wanted this one. The 9mm was a natural as I have a 1911 in 9 and the PDA. Might even get my old S&W 36 back from my son, so then will have 3 different makes and calibers. Will see how they work out for me this spring.

popplecop,

Like you, I carried many guns in my LEO career. Autos are nice, but per my experience, they are dependent on PERFECT ammo and Perfect magazines. I also went to the S&W Armorers School and built 5, M65 3-inch .357 revolvers and was allowed to buy one.

I carry either my M65 or a Colt Cobra in a pocket of my Woolrich hunting coat as I go about town in Winter. Bad Stuff will go down in three seconds or less so BIG Magazines are merely mental games for those never before in a "Hot Corner."

Be well.

Adam

Can't remember for the life of me what we built, do remember it was 3 and allowed to purchase one. Later sold mine to a fellow warden who still has it after all these years. I have, had, son using it now S&W 36 that I got back in the mid 60s, and liked better than the ones we built.
