SIG's new P290 RS
SIG have updated the SIG P290 which they introduced in 2010. The updated P290 RS has DAO Restrike capability, a reshaped beavertail frame, recontoured magazine release, reduced and reshaped slide release and finger-grip magazine floorplates. The changes are, at least in my eyes, a lot more aesthetically pleasing. I was not a fan of the squarish grip of the old P290.
