I bought a P250C 9mm about 2 1/2 years ago. Carried it for about a year. Then got a SC x-change kit for it and carried that for about 8 months. I love the P250, but I bought a Kimber about a year ago. Now, that is about the only gun I carry any more. Guess you could say the 1911 made a convert out of me. I still have the P250, but it stays in the drawer most of the time now. No matter which configuration I had it in, the gun never, ever had one single failure of any type. If I needed to for some reason, I would not hesitate to carry the P250 again.
