Trade Ex has Sig P 210s for $2200. It makes me cry because I can't afford it. They all seem to be 210-2s (Plastic grip, Army issues) and in very good to excellent condition. Trade Ex is an excellent dealer too. So, for those of you who can afford it, enjoy it.

Meanwhile, I will be in my basement subbing like a baby, if you need me!
 
You'd get a better deal if you imported it. (Time and patience needed, it's not a quick and easy process, but really worth it in the end)

I'm in the process of getting one from Switzerland now. P210's are dirt cheap over there.
 
"...P210's are dirt cheap over there..." Won't be by the time it gets here.
"...Wilson Combat 1911's..." Those are custom pistols. "every part is hand-fit"
prproulx is right. No stock pistol is worth 2 grand.
 
Well...I just spent an hour on the internet checking this thing out. It turns out that this might be the going price for these baby's, if they really are in excellent shape. Why you ask? Just because....

Aside from carrying the title of the "best semi-auto pistol ever made" (just quoting), obviously, there is also some following and collectible value here.

As long as there are other people out there who are willing to pay you more or less the same amount of money you put in and take it off your hand, then the value is there.

Last weekend my girlfriend and I were shooting at orange clays sitting on the 25, 50 and 75 yard berms at Range 7 at PoCo. We were using a Swiss Arms carbine, a CZ858-4v and a 7inch 9mm AR-15.

I see one of the clays on the 75 yard berm go "poof". I thought it was my girlfriend, then the Range Officer (the CGNer known on here as "Tron") yells to me, "Nemo" (not what we call him at the range) just shot one of your clays". I yell back, "With what?" A pistol! "Which one?" SIG 210! "Oh, of course".

As far as I know he did it with one shot. I think that is pretty damn good. "Nemo" is a good shot by the way, but those 210's seem to have an extra gear they can go up to vis-a-vis standard SIGs. On the internet, hitting a stationary clay with a pistol at 75 yards is something we probably all claim we can do easily, but out there on the range it is much easier said than done!

I have two videos of one of "Nemo's" 210`s on Youtube. All these guns share in common with other SIGs, in my view, is the name. The trigger is totally different, as is the action, the lock-up, the relation of the slide to the frame, etc. I love the "Classic SIG" design. I own 4 of them. "Nemo" has them too, but the 210s are a marvel. Some of Nemos were made in the 1960s, and the action is just as smooth and as tight as can be.

The videos (I was getting used to the trigger in my vid. So my shooting technique sucks. My gf`s shooting is probably better):

How much do they cost in Switzerland?
What's the final cost when you bring it to Canada?

800-4000 Fr. depending on the model and condition. The ones that Tradex is selling is the going price for them here in Canada. Probably another $300-500 if it was the States. But in Switerland those ex-army P210's in that condition would go for around 1200 Fr.

Export would be around 150 USD, and Canadian taxes on top of that.

Once I get mine I'll make a thread on the details/procedures and contacts. I'm sure the Swiss exporter would welcome the extra business.
