I'm going to find a range that has a P290 to rent. I want very much to like the gun, because I'm a huge Sig fan. Of the three guns in that poll, after having had a S&W M&P and getting rid of it because to me it feels cheap and I didn't shoot it nearly as well as my Glock or my P226, I surely won't vote for the shield. But I hope the P290 I get to shoot is better functionally than what I thought when I simply just held one in my hand....what a miniature cement block that thing is. Does it really need to be so heavy??
But I have an open mind.....may even shoot a Nano if I can find one. But I won't buy either until I can fire them. |

Ok, for those who said they both suck, how many have actually had any real experience with one other than holding it or hearing about it. The Shield is actually bigger and pushed the gun out of pocket carry. I am not saying the Shield is a bad choice, but I am tired of hearing folks dis the Nano when mine is combat accurate and efficient. I can outshoot my buddy with his 1911. Give credit where credit is due.

For what it's worth I've never been a huge Sig fan and just shot a P238 and fell in love instantly. I almost went impulse crazy and bought one immediately. I came to my senses but that's a darn fine little pistol.

I wanted to post this to anyone who might be reading and interested in the P290
Here are a few for anyone who might be considering the P290 Quote:

http://So where does the P290 fit in? Simple. If you want something bigger than a .380, something easy to carry but that won’t pull you under if you hit soft ground, the P290 might be for you. If you are not enamored of cocked-and-locked carry, the P290 would move higher up your list. And if a striker-driven firing system does not set your heart a-pitter-pat, then the DAO of the P290 makes it perfect. Quote:
