SIG collectors - SIG 210

I agree 100%. Nothing more I would love to have then a P210, but a little out of my price range.One of the members at my club has one and I love shooting it, talk about supper accurate.
Well, down in OT there is a thread about "smoking".... being a non-smoker I reasoned that gives me an extra $2,500 or so every year to spend on "other stuff" like "gun stuff".... guess I could "afford" one of these $2,200 P210's from Trade-Ex after all.
NAA,
And next year you could buy yourself the conversion kit
According to my calculator.... at ~ $2,500 year savings since I'm turning 50 soon, if I had started smoking when I was 15, I would've spent $87,500 on 'em already. Guess I could afford the .22 unit right now, too.

Back to the 210,

Actually they stopped making it a couple of years ago. They are accurate pistols but they are overrated. Too many people go around saying it's the "best 9mm ever".
Back in the 1960s it was. Not now, which is why demand for them dropped off. SIG-Sauer X-5, any good 1911 like a Les Baer in 9mm etc. are all just as accurate and more user-friendly. In fact there was an article in Caliber where the P210-5 came out as the least accurate against Peter Stahls, a P226 Sport II SL and a Les Baer.
Been proved in Switzerland using the P226 Sport models and Sphinx AT2000s against P210s. Beaten plenty of good shooters with P210s using my P226 Sport II SL and I saw plenty of people using P210s beaten by people using Sphinx pistols too.
Yeah, it's a classic, but don't fool yourself into thinking it's the best gun there ever was or ever will be. Hammer bite is a problem, and the mag release is crummy on all but the last models made in the last few years which had a beavertail and thumb release.

Comparing race (highly customize and tweaked) guns with out of factory military service pistol does not do a justice to P210. I haven’t had a chance to read that article but was that SIG customized as well?
Oh... it was P210-5
The P210 Pistol can arguably be called the "most accurate production handgun" in the world. The P210 was originally made in Switzerland in 1949 for the Swiss Military. Since that time, the P210 has gained a worldwide reputation for outstanding accuracy, superior quality and timeless durability. Classic in it’s own category.
In your hand it feels like one elegant single peace of solid steel. If you give it a shake and feel rattling, something is wrong with it. Mine non-military (civilian) version has no machining marks anywhere inside not to mention outside, which has mirror shine deep blue color.

Accurate condition
The condition stated is accurate in my books for the pictures I saw on the website. You do not expect military or police handguns guns not to show some holster wear.

One of my cats loves 210s also. See that demonic glint in his eye?
Hey Sillymike,
I did not realize you got the test target with yours. Neat!

Yeah, my P210-6 is a well-made pistol, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's a bad pistol, no it's not, but there are more user-friendly pistols out there that are just as accurate, in fact more accurate. Trigger pull is not the best either. Yeah, once again if you get a P210-5 or -6 it's got a good trigger, no doubt about it, but it's not as good as on high-end 1911s I've used.
