SIG Sauer announced a new version of the P290 pistol. Â The SIG P290 ORB is functionally identical to the P290 ES I previously reviewed, but it has an oil rubbed bronze coated slide. Â This is the same finish used on the popular SIG 1911 Spartan pistol that we saw at this year’s SHOT Show.
The new pistols also use G-10 grip panels similar to the ones on the ES model. Â However, the new grip panels have a color pattern that matches the bronze color of the slide better than the original ES grips.
