When you break down many polymer handguns that are considered “modern,” they appear as close relatives to Gaston’s Glock.

    Purchased 2 P250’s a few weeks ago for my wife and I. We went and shot a couple hundred rounds through them and I couldnt be happier buying them! I was surprised how accurate I shot fist size groups at 75 feet consistantly. Highly recommend this handgun.
