Sig Sauer P290 Usage and Features
Primary Use
Concealed Carry
Are You Right or Left Handed?
Right
What features does this gun have that appealed to you?
Double action only with no manual safety. Standard with Sig night sights. Very manageable for such a small package
Tell us about shooting this gun.
Very long and predictable trigger pull. It fits my very small hands pretty well but is definitely made to be a carry gun not a target practice gun. The sights glow very well.
How reliable is it?
I have shot a few hundred rounds through it and haven’t had any issues or malfunctions
Does the gun have any specific ammunition requirements? If so, please explain:
I have shot fmj and aluminum case with no issues
What do you dislike about shooting this gun, if anything?
The factory grip on the little shooter is like sand paper and really tore up the palm of my right hand so my husband sanded it a little then I put rubberized talon grips on it
Was it easy to take down and clean? Please share.
I had a bit of trouble taking this apart for cleaning because you have to hold the slid back while pushing out a pin and it is a little tough with small hands
Would you recommend this gun?
Yes
For someone considering this gun, what would you tell them?
It is super simple to function and is very easily concealed and for that reason I love it! Also, I love the simplicity of the gun for newer carriers. In a kydex holster it is super safe even without a safety because you can hold the hammer while you are holstering
