The Shooting Wire is reporting that SigArms (Sig Sauer) will be releasing their new duty pistol, the Sig P250, this weekend at the International Association of Chiefs of Police convention. The firearm has different sized polymer grips/frames that the metal receiver drops down into. A few of these have been seen in some of the consumer gun magazines, but this will be the first time most of us will be able to put our hands on one.

This gun is supposed to have 35-40% fewer parts when compared to other handguns. Generally speaking, that should enhance reliability. Sigs are known to be dependable, accurate firearms. I hope this one continues that tradition.

Sig is also releasing the Sig556, a lightweight rifle for law enforcement that is the Sig Sauer platform for the .223/5.56 cartridge. Functionall, it is a bit different from the AR-15, and lighter(!), but it is designed to accept the AR magazine.

I will have a review on these firearms as soon as I can acquire them for shooting.

Stay safe!
