Looks to me like it gives you a lot of options for accessories (RAILS! RAILS! RAILS!), and two-handed firing, but no buttstock or extended barrel. Seems more tacticool than tactical.

A better idea to me, is to use the modular p250 in a rifle body, including barrel and buttstock. What do you guys think?

It's illegal unless you register it as a short barreled rifle, which means completely illegal in Hawaii.

I once fired a Browning Hi Power (Chinese contract) with the shoulder stock attached.  It was way harder to shoot than the plain pistol, for two reasons.  The sights were too close to my eye (the ACR solves this by having a red dot), and the recoil was pretty stiff (which the ACR solves by not having anything touching the shoulder, so how is it better than just shooting the plain pistol).  Tacticool is the word.

Couldn't you just get the first two configurations with no butt stock? Then it wouldn't have to registered as an SBR right?

The way it is, it's designed to be an SBR. I'd rather have a purpose built sub-gun like an MP5 rather than a mod to a pistol. Nifty idea, though.

JKeone808, sure you could get it without the foregrip and buttstock, but then it's just something weighing down your pistol.

Ahhh I see. Thanks.

I think that even if you could get one in Hawaii, I'd avoid buying one until Sig works out issues with it.  It seems like everything that Sig has brought out in the past 10 years has issues with it when it first comes out.
