I figured I would start a thread for P290 info, tricks, parts and accessories. Anyone who has good info to add for the P290 post it up.
There are two versions - the P290 and P290RS. The RS is the redesigned model with "re-strike" capability. Translated from Sig-speak that means the RS is a true double action trigger vs. the original which is a hammer fired pistol that Sig called a DAO but which in reality functions more like a single action pistol where you need to rack the slide and then it goes to a half or pre-cocked position from which the trigger pull will fully cock and release the hammer.
Serial wise the originals are 25A00xxxx and somewhere along the way they revised it. Not sure if that started with 25B00xxx or when exactly.
You can send in an original P290 to Sig Sauer to have an original P290 converted to the RS hammer/trigger system. Cost is $99 + shipping both ways. They have prepaid shipping both ways via Fed-Ex 2 day for $55. Call first to get an RA number and then send it in. I was told the turn around time is about 2 weeks from when they get the gun.
