Change In The Sig P250C You Should Be Aware Of

[BigRiverLeather]

This was an email I received that originated from Mark Garrity regarding Sig's changes in the P250c which affect holster construction. I emailed this infor to Rings, ASP, Duncan's and Lindell's so hopefully they take it to heart and get the new design molded as well as keep the "old" ones around.

Don't know if you guys are aware, but Sig recently made some changes to

their P250-C that will effect holster fit. The new version has a flat

mil-spec 1913 Picatinny rail with frame running to the end of the slide,

while on the original version the rail is rounded and stops about 1/4 inch

short of the end of the slide. This flatter rail makes the frame extended

further down on the edges, and will definately not fit in a holster tightly

molded to the original frame. (I hesitate to use the words "old frame' as

the entire pistol is not that old!). The frame on the orignal version is

also recessed thinner than the slide forward of the triggerguard. On the new

version the frame is flush with the slide width the entire length, making

the lower half of the gun wider in the dust cover area. The original

version's grip also has front-strap checkering while the new version is

stippled, and the Sig logo on the grip panels has been relocated from being

centered on the original to top of the grip on the new. While these grip

changes obviously do not effect holster fit they may be the most apparent

changes to ask a potential customer in determining which version they have;

as Sig has not changed the model designation or added a prefix or suffix

code marked on the pistol to it to assist in determining which version it

is. For side-by-side comparison photos, go to Sig's web-site

www.sig-sauer.com. Scroll down the left hand coloumn (products, accessories,

etc0 to "Product Alerts". You will see 2 click-on links that open PDF files

with photos "P250C Holster Changes" and "Sig P250C Grip Changes".

As a side note the Federal Air Marshals are now issuing this pistol in the

new version so holster orders for it may increase.

The old Sig-Pro 2340 has also been redesigned as the new 2022. (At least

they changed the model number here). It now has a square trigger-guard as

opposed to the old-style P228 round guard, and a 1913 rail.

I think they do this just to mess with holster-makers and keep us on our

toes !
