The grip modules ARE less expensive, but I'm still not crazy about the idea of possibly having to pay $50 extra to get a pistol to fit me (excepting the subcompact, which was available in only 1 grip module size the last time I checked). Multiple backstraps are IMHO a more elegant solution.

As for the X-Change kits, I agree that the cost would need to go down more for it to really be of use.

Tunnelrat, your talking about easy modifications more than what I would consider "modularity." The back straps, like the different grips, aren't for changing because "today feels like a big grip day', they are for setting the pistol to fit your hand once and leaving it that way.
I am acquainted with a half dozen AR upper receivers. All of them own lowers for every upper they use with any regularity at all. I am acquainted with several people who own many many Encore or Contender barrels. They all have multiple frames. Enough for all the barrels they actually shoot. It sounds great. I've bought into it multiple time. There is some more flexibility. Right now I am considering a G17 with a chopped grip. I might be able to get a 320 and set-it up in a similar fashion much more easily. Once it was set-up I would leave it as it is though. With multiple caliber kits I would end up throwing all but one 'in a box somewhere.' |

I don't really think I even used the word modularity. I used the word module because that's what SIG calls them.

Module, modular, modularity. With the recent pistol redesign request from DOD catch the marketing words of the year, and they all flow together in my mind.
I'm not saying it is all bad. I have a love-hate relationship with my Encore. I looked up my options with a Sig 320 for a long barrel and short grip when I got home from work today. Looks like price would be about the same as my glock options and I would need a new holsters for a G17 length slide anyways. By the end I bet it costs a lot more though. |

I think a Walther PPX is worth a look. It's affordable (I've seen them under $300 lately), reliable, high capacity, and has a great trigger.

If you like the SIG P250 and you shoot well w/it, then go w/the P250.
I carried a P250 EDC for a couple of years after I got used to the trigger, it was exceptionally accurate & reliable. The only reason I switched to the P320 Compact is for faster followup shots. Btw, the modularity of the P250/P320 allows you to make stippling mistakes that only cost $40 to replace (instead of the entire frame) and hybrid combos impossible w/other handguns (ex: P250 subcompact slide on a bobbed compact grip module, or compact slide on a full size grip module) in addition to the X-Change kits for different calibers.

You said you like the HK, so save a couple hundred and get a P2000. They can be had for $650ish new now. Same perfect do it all size as a Glock 19.
Then again, if you doing that well with the P250, why is this a question?

I perfer the Glock due to the aftermarket support and large options of holsters. I usually "upgrade" my Glocks with a 2.5 trigger connector and an extended slide release and a plug in the bottom of the grip. Thats it, its good to go for me.

Whatever you do don't order a PPX online without handling one first. The slide on the thing is enormous to the point of being cartoonish. It makes a Hi Point look svelte. PPX and CCW should never be used in the same sentence.
A S&W M&P 9mm or FNH FNS 9mm should be able to be had this weekend for right around $400. |
