Sig Sauer has unveiled their newest pistol: the Sig P290. It is significant
(excuse the pun) because it is a whole new platform. The first P290
that will be available is chambered in 9mm Luger/Parabellum but I fully
expect to see it chambered in other cartridges late next year.
One notable feature is that the side grip panels are removable. Sig
plan on offering a range of aluminum, wood, and polymer grips that they
will engrave with your initials, if you so wish.
A laser sight that fits in front of the trigger guard will also be offered (see below photo).
