SIG P250 Caliber Exchange
For those not in the know, last year I bought a P250 in .40 S&W. I have occasionally posted my travails with that firearm here, as well as what I did to finally make it reliable. (It still shoots far too low.)
Having convinced me it might be worth the trouble, I recently bought a caliber change kit, so I could shoot 9X19 in it. My first experience was not encouraging; several failures of the trigger to reset, and a number of cartridges which needed more than one try to fire. It also shot a bit high, and the groups were rather large.
This held true for the first hundred rounds. After that, the reset problem seemed to vanish (though I still had the hard primer problem) while the groups tightened and moved closer to point of aim.
So, after today's outing I gave it a thorough cleaning, a good lubing, and put it away to shoot again later. Hopefully, as it breaks in it will continue to improve.
Now, if I could only get the rear sight replacement for the .40 slide so *it* would shoot to point of aim.
