(from SIG SAUER P250 website)
It's rather intriguing; given that neither the Glock 30 nor the Smith & Wesson M&P45 compact are currently MA-legal, it holds the distinction of being the only new compact polymer .45 ACP available in MA. The P250 compact is only slightly larger than the G30 in length and height, and extremely close in weight and width. It's shorter but taller than the S&W, lighter and greater capacity, too.
SIG SAUER's always had a reputation for making dependable, if somewhat conservatively-styled firearms. I've had my P226 for a few years now, and it has been a stalwart range companion and a test-bed for laser sights and conversion kits. It's been torture tested with dirty ammo and not cleaned (I broke down before the Sig did!); quick-changed back and forth between rimfire and centerfire; hauled around in the range bag for months at a time, and just been an all around champ. I'd like to see if their P250 is as durable - rumblings are that the new Sigs aren't as robust as the old school; it'd be interesting to put that to the test.
At least the G30 has competition I can pick up off the shelf now...
That is all...

So what's the Mass. ruling on playing with the modular ability of the gun? Swapping out grips,barrels,slides, and such to make it into a full-sized 9mm or a subcompact .45 all while keeping the same s/n and 'frame.'
Or is it like that strange law where changing the furniture on an otherwise legal gun is a felony?
MA law is silent on that issue.
There are some who feel that something as innocuous as a .22LR conversion should be documented on a Firearms Transfer Form as a new registration. While I can see the appeal of absolutely flooding the CHSB (Criminal History Systems Board, where our Firearms Transfer Forms end up) with forms, I also know for a fact that no one pays a lick of attention to the forms that come in...
There's one serious drawback to the M&P45c: the Apex Tactical DCAEK doesn't fit it, so we would be stuck with an awful MA trigger. But for now, it's nice that we have SOMETHING to choose from in a new 45 compact.
Rifleman762, you can still have the trigger worked on by a smith, or DIY if you can hack it.
There's a REALLY good smith in our area who pretty much runs his business un-fucking MA M&P triggers.
