Frequently Asked Questions
Sig Sauer P290 for sale
Is the SIG P290 discontinued?
Yes, SIG discontinued the P290RS. Used examples remain available on the secondary market. SIG replaced it with the P365, which offers a higher-capacity double-stack magazine in a similarly compact package.
How many rounds does a SIG P290 hold?
SIG P290 magazines come in two capacities: a flush-fit 6-round and an extended 8-round. The 6-round magazine gives seven rounds total with one chambered; the 8-round gives nine.
Is the P290 a good concealed carry pistol?
Yes. The P290RS is a subcompact 9mm designed specifically for concealed carry. Its thin, lightweight frame and bobbed hammer provide a snag-free profile. Double-action-only trigger and reliable operation make it suitable for CCW, though capacity is limited to 6 or 8 rounds depending on magazine choice.
What is the difference between Sig P290 and P290RS?
The P290RS, introduced in 2012, replaced the original P290 with a redesigned trigger that allows restrike capability—meaning you can pull the trigger again on a failed primer without racking the slide. The two pistols also differ in size and standard magazine capacity, with the P290RS being the more compact variant.
