Nutnfancy SHOT Show 2011: Sig P290 Too Thick

It should be a win, right? I mean, aren't Nutnfancy and Sig two peas in a pod. Not always...just like with this gun. Remember the new Sig P290 is going after the concealed carry POU. That means it has some outstanding competition like the KelTec PF-9 that weighs 12.7 ounces and is only .88 inches thick. And it's accurate, reliable, and durable (so far!). So how does the much heralded Sig P290 blow it? Thickness and weight: 1.1 inches and 21 ounces... almost 8 ounces heavier than the standard-setting Kel-Tec PF-9. The Sig P290 is about the same size and weight as a Glock 26 (slightly thinner). In the CCW/CCP role, I say that weight and thinness are critical. For long existing designs like the PPK and such, I give some allowances for these. But with today's technology and winning designs I'm a little puzzled how Sig missed so widely on the P290. Make it .80 thick and 13 ounces and I'm interested, especially if it delivers the usual Sig accuracy and reliability. Also keep in mind this is an expensive gun as well. With all that in mind, as a concealed lethal option the Sig P290 does not interest me and fails to unseat more excellent polymer designs.////////////////// Preliminary Likability Scale: 5 out of 10 (high cost considered)
