Steel frame, modern pistol

What about the Russian MP-443? That's all-steel and fairly new.
The P22x series was introduced in the 1970s not the 1930s.

The P210 was a licensed (slightly improved) copy of the 1935A french pistol from the 30's. Although as I mentioned before the P210 and the P22X have absolutely nothing to do with one another and calling the P210/M49 and P22X a "series" is just plain wrong. They could not be more different. One is manufactured by SIG, the other by Sauer. One is double action, the other single. One has the rails on slide, the other on frame. About the only common thing is the caliber. You could not find two different guns! Just becasue both their names start with a "P" (as many other german guns, "P" for pistole" does not makes them a "series".
Holy @#!$%
From the entire thread you decide to take this up?
Here you go :
"The design was derived from Charles Petter's Modèle 1935 pistol. In 1937 SIG acquired a license for Petter's system in order to develop a replacement for the Luger Parabellum 06/29, which had been in service since 1900. Development was slowed by the Second World War. After testing various experimental models, the P210 entered service in 1949 with the Swiss army."
Good now?
My MAIN point still being that a "Completely new" (OP's words, not mine) gun design hasn't happened for roughly 80 years!!!

Get a Desert Eagle. It's the newest pistol design in a hundred years. The first, and I believe only, gas-operated rotating bolt pistol in existence.
