thanks for the advice jim.seamusTX wrote:To make it official, you're supposed to write your name, the weapon, load, distance, data, and location on the target, and have it signed by witnesses who are not your relatives.![]()

My name is chris, aka: allinhtown, used my new Sig Sauer P250, .40 S&W, wal-mart winchester white box economy ammo, ~10 yards, marksman indoor range, and the signatures are in invisible ink ;)
after the first few shots, I was pretty surprised, then a few more, and a few more... eventually I stopped and switched targets in fear of hitting the 8 or worse :(

Re: New in Houston!
hahaha... i love my p250!!!
it is a great gun, even by itself. throw in the modularity, and it is amazing. wait for more police departments to start using them, and the possibilities will be endless!!!
here's my range report (sorry for the delay)

Re: New in Houston!
I just bought my .40SW Sig Sauer P250 last night! Managed to find some boxes at the Wal-Mart in Pearland on 35.

Re: New in Houston!
I'll be sure to let everyone know as soon as I get it!
In the meantime... what is this 51% rule everyone keeps talking about? (I'm still pre-chl, so please refrain from using expletives only if absolutely necessary in your replies :P)

Re: New in Houston!
I think I'm pretty decided on the SIG P250... I had the opportunity to handle both the P229 and P239... both of which are great guns. But I think I love the P250 because of its simplistic design, and it is noticeably lighter than either of those two.
I'm planning on getting one this week, maybe next weekend! So excited :)

On the laser, it is a good item to have in a high stress situation, (point and shoot, literally), however, it is not something to be solely relied upon. If you rely on it, and the battery dies, or it doesn't work for some reason, you are then SOL. Personally, the only time I turn on the laser at the range, is after I've already shot a lot with the sights, and that is just to make sure it is still zeroed properly. I also personally do not see a downside to night sights, other then a small added $$$, and I don't know why anyone would recommend NOT having them. They make it easier to use your sights, at night, if needed. You also do not need a Tac Rail for a laser. Look into Crimson Trace LaserGrips, or Lasermax Guide Rod laser sights. They both offer options for a laser sight without a tactical rail.
Items on a tactical rail, or even simply a handgun Having a tactical rail, will eliminate a large number of holsters available for that handgun. There are only a few holster makers that make them for handguns with rails, and AFAIK, VERY few make holsters for railed weapons with something mounted on it. Just things to consider.
Some Acronyms you will need to know (sorry if I forget some, just pulling off the top of my head):![]()
IANAL = "I am not a lawyer" <--- LOL!!!!
Have a great weekend!
lollll thanks for your great info, and input. LOL at the IANAL acronym hahaha. thats one i've never heard before :P
(and the SA/DA/DAO question too) I'll be doing a lot of reading and research today. I can't seem to think of any more questions :(

Re: New in Houston!
Wow great info guys... I think I've fallen in love with the accuracy of the Sig's... I have so many questions about single action, double action, double action only... etc... There are also quite a bit of gun terms that I am not familiar with... IWF, FTF, FFL (licensed dealer I found out)
I am trying to decide between a 9mm and .40 in either a Sig P239 (which I have not shot yet, but read many great things) or the Sig P250. My ex-marine friend said I should skip the night-sights, but I should get a tactical rail, for a light or laser...
Also, are there any huge advantages/disadvantages between a two tone gun or a nitron one?
Thanks so much everybody!

Re: New in Houston!
Wow everyone really is super friendly. Looks like I joined the right place :)
Well one of my good friends is an Ex-Marine (not that it means anything) but he owns a Glock 29? Maybe 27? (not sure, but .40) and a Sig 229 all stainless steel, and I have shot both. He said that I should get a Sig because they are awesome guns and very accurate.
I rented the Sig P250 .40 at Top Gun last week, and I loved it! I'm still an ultra-newbie, but it felt very good. Perhaps more accurate than any other gun I have shot. Also, I was doing some research on other Sigs, and it seems that the P239 is very popular for concealed carry? I think I'm leaning towards either a Sig P239 or P250?
But I don't know what caliber, etc.
As for Glocks, Berrettas, and other stuff... I'm not too knowledgeable. I've heard a little bit about the 1911, time to do more research!

New in Houston!
Hey everyone.. I'm completely new here. I'm planning on getting my CHL in the near future (whenever I can find the time to take the class)
But I think I need more advice on a good weapon to purchase. I'm planning on using it for home defense, and maybe carry it around sometimes. I have shot a few different pistols, namely a Glock .40 and a SIG P250. I really liked the P250, it is extremely accurate.
Is there a better SIG out there? I did some quick research on the P250, and it said all this stuff about interchangable parts and it seemed a little complicated.
Well, nice to meet everyone. Hope to see you around the ranges!
