I honestly really enjoy my P250c have about 600 rounds through it without an issue. I also paid 300 for and I feel it was hell of a bargain.
Yep. McDonalds is the best selling burger, Glock is the best selling pistol, and if that means there's nothing better/I don't need anything more/save to spend your money elsewhere to some people, it makes sense. There's more talk about the latest addition to the dollar menu (VP9/P320/Gen4/etc) than there is for steakhouses.
I have a 250sc (with a mid-size frame on it; I chopped the dust cover to fit the sc slide), bought in mid-2010, which hasn't had a stoppage through about 1000rds. I actually bought the pistol to be my primary, but got an M&P shortly thereafter.
I did break the 250. I got the thing for AWIB carry, the thumb-over-the-hammer routine, and wanted to know how it felt when the hammer was trying to come back against my thumb, so I placed thumb over hammer and pulled the trigger. The linkage gave, I guess; SIG fixed it. Shook my confidence in the gun, but it hasn't bobbled since, and I'd be OK with carrying it.
Agree. Inexpensive does not have to mean low quality. My last 4 cars have been inexpensive economy models that I bought used. I picked brands with a good reputation for quality and avoided those without said reputations. I wanted transportation, I got it.
I like the feel of good steel in the hand but acknowledge the durability and practicality of polymer. Some poly pistols feel cheap in the hand, like the vastly over priced KelTec PMR 30 I picked up [but did not buy] yesterday. As opposed to the HK VP9 I also felt up. it wasn't the price, they were close.
