[QUOTE="OKNewshawk, post: 2763648, member: 6592"] I realize that the [I]P250[/I] had problems early on, but using them to tar the [I]P320[/I] seems a bit of a stretch. The ATF evaluation of the P250 occurred before SIG made changes to the pistol that improved it. The Gen 2 P250 is a much better pistol and if you can get over the DAO trigger pull hurdle; it is a nice, inexpensive pistol with loads of interchangeability. As for the Dutch national police issue, have you taken a look at the specs for the ammunition they want to use for the gun? The bullet weight is 94 grains... 94! According to [URL="http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2009/10/07/the-9x19mm-np-netherlands-police/#sthash.7EfIeeZc.dpuf"]The Firearms Blog[/URL], So, it appears to me it's not the gun that's at fault, it's the requirement to use a specific type of ammunition designed not for stopping power but to fit an agenda. I think you'll find that the P320 is going to be more than up to the challenge of the OHP. As a side benefit, if they ever decide to return to the .40 S&W, or even go to the .45 ACP, they don't have to completely replace the gun--just the necessary components. I'd almost wager it would be more cost effective. [/QUOTE]
