I got to play with the 290 at the Shot Show, first off let me say that I am a "Sig Snob". I was very un-impressed with it, was much too blockey and bulky for me, even for a small 9mm it just did not feel right, the 238 feels much more natural and balanced than the 290. I am also a DAO fan and the trigger was nothing to write home about and not typical Sig DAO or DAK. Initially I was very excited about this new offering, not anymore, I will keep my 250 sub-compact. The highlight of the small 9mm's is the new Kimber Solo, it feels great and is rounded where it should be, the new Ruger also seems to have a lot of potential as well. I am hoping to get the Kimber and Ruger fairly soon so I can actually shoot them and see how they actually perform......

Here is a pic of it.... We spoke with Sig yesterday and they will be shipping them towards the end of the year and officially releasing them at the Shot Show.... We placed an order so we first on the list to get some....

If I was to venture a guess I would expect it to be priced around the same as the P250, somewhere in the $500.00 range. The polymer frame should keep the cost down versus the P239.

Just got some information on this new Sig, going to place an order for some and get to the front of the line, they seem very promising as the P290 will be a pocket pistol. If as advertised should really cut into the 380 market, now the question is what the price will be, as we know Sig is not shy of their prices...
