Uh, these are the same trigger characteristics as nearly every modern DA/SA or DAO revolver, and the SIG trigger has a lighter pull weight and smoother travel than many of those.

I consider this an intentional design characteristic rather than a flaw per se. It's off-putting to many autoloader shooters who reflexively sneer at DAO pistols, but IMHO if you don't like it, then the SIG P250 is simply not for you; it doesn't make the pistol an inherently bad design.

Just so you understand I own dozens of dao pistols none were as bad as my Sig 250. The trigger pull was off the gunsmith’s device. Did you miss the part where it shot 6 inches low at 10 yds? I carry a gun for a living and this was not acceptable to me. I am not attacking Sig just this pistol as I own a 226 with no problems at all.

My friend's handgun. Can't remember what it was but it never made it through a range trip without at least a dozen FTFs, FTEs, etc. lol

My biggest pos is also my favorite pistol. My G23. Mine was a total mess. Sent it back for repairs. Now its awesome.

All 1911s are not created equal. I wouldn't know how you get this one to malfunction under normal shooting conditions.

Most reliable I've owned:
Norinco
Argentine Modelo 27 (horrible trigger though)
Least reliable
Kimber CDP II
Taurus PT 1911
I still have the first two but not the second two

I have an AMT (Irwindale made) Automag II that is completely unreliable except for Winchester Super X hollowpoints-but it is a lot of fun to shoot and since it's only for recreational shooting I hang on to it

Never heard of it, must be the gang bangers choice.

Not mine, but the local S.O. bought Smith 4506s when they came out and in quals after issue the first round from the first pistol caused the barrel bushing to separate from the slide and fly off downrange.

My first handgun was a 4506. The third time I used it shooting outdoors on a friends land the external extractor arm flew off the slide never to be found. It took months to locate a replacement. Finally sourced one - had it repaired and sold it the next day.

Must say that aside from that - and I'd never buy one again because of that - it was a nice gun to shoot.

Taurus pt99 9mm the accuracy was the worst, like 4ft groups at 10ys. Worthless unless you wanted to hold it on things to shoot them.
