the p250c will be my first polymer one as well...I'm not a huge fan of the other designs.....but I like the 229, 226, and of course it's hard to screw up a 1911 and if it's Sig, it's just that much betterI too am a huge Sig fan. I own 3 at this time and on my way to 4 and maybe 5. Ive never had much experiance with the polly ones, other than I know that they feel pretty good. Ive HEARD alot about the P250 having problems with the 1st gen ones but the new ones are supposed to be good to go. Also if your looking for a good cheap Sig Ive heard the SP2022 is a great little piece for the money. I know the classic ones are great guns. Ive got about 5k rnds collectively through all of mine with no malfuntions of any kind. Youll never be sorry you bought a Sig.
