I have been searching and have had my LGS searching for a 40 cal Shield for a long time :fie: and I need a CCW for pocket carry now. My LGS called and told me he had a few pistols to show me and I thought (oh boy...a Shield). WRONG...LOL.
What he did have was 3 new Sigs. An M1911 TacPac, an SP 2022 and a Sig P290. I though...oh great...these are way too pricey for me. Now I have been looking for a pocket carry pistol and the P290 fits that bill perfectly. 5.5"x4.3"x1" and it weighs 20.5 oz. with the mag and it came with a holster, night sights and a laser out the door for $700.00. Probably a little pricey but I really sidn't care and I wanted it now. It also came with 2 mags. The short one and the extended one that hold 8+1.
The only maybe negative is field stripping. It's a little tricky until you get the hang of it and whoever writes those manuals needs to go back to school. It's like they get a person with an IQ of 60 to write them....oh well I cleaned it last night and I am going to the range today to check it out!
