Thread: The mystery of the FAMS and the Sig P250

  1. #11
    As near as I can piece it together, it goes like this. The supervisor in question was using his FAMS connections with Sig to procure firearms at agency pricing or for free, then selling them or giving them away on the side to colleagues and the director of FAMS. If he was procuring guns under agency auspices and then reselling for them personal use, that's a pretty big naughty.

    That's a real thing.
    Are they making their own Serpa copy now?

    That makes Baby Odin weep, uncontrollably.

    Looks like basically the same one HK promotes for the P30/HK45C. I actually got a free one when I bought my bride's back-up P30 in .40 last year; there was also a HK logo'ed knife in the box.

    The knife is not bad; she keeps it handy and uses it daily.

    The holster I keep around to show folks who ask, what NOT to get…

    No idea. I was paraphrasing this from the Foxnews article:
    Poulos is accused of using the agency's federal firearms license and his relationship with gun manufacturer Sig Sauer to obtain discounted and free guns. He then provided them to high-up agency officials for their personal use, according to whistleblower documents obtained by FoxNews.com and interviews with multiple officials with knowledge of the ongoing probe.

    It is unclear, based on the allegations, whether he made money off the alleged transactions, and how many guns were involved.
    Makes me wonder what the documents actually say.

    What's up with the rear sight?

    I wondered the same thing. It looks like the rear sight is integral to the extractor and firing pin assembly. And I thought the M&P was a PITA.

    Diamond plate is cool, but do they make a Tribal one?

    The rear sight on the P250 is actually part of the slide's backplate. It cannot be changed for another sight type. It is by far my least favorite aspect of the P250.

    Does Sig have a rationale that they offer to explain that choice? It seems puzzling.

    Apparently not since they did away with it on the 320, which uses the P series dove tail & sights.
