But, I was very pleasantly surprised at the clean internal machine work, fit of component parts, finish and trigger of my American 210. In short, acceptable to those who had never owned Swiss or German 210s because of the lower price, and the fact that is would still be labeled "P210", but a big disappointment to some of us who'd owned the earlier guns. I figured it would be reliable, but built to "relaxed" American tolerances. I had serious reservations though about the announced American version. So both Swiss and German 210s are very fine pistols IMHO. Shooting the German guns was such a pleasure for me, as compared to my Swiss versions. No hammer bite/bloodshed, "American" style mag release, while maintaining what I thought was exemplary build quality. I know the Legend is looked upon with disdain by some, but I really liked them. I didn't buy another until the German Legends were near the end of their production. I'd been spoiled by the Hi Power and 1911, and eventually sold or traded my SIGs. Fine as the Swiss guns were, I could not get around the hammer bite/bloodshed issue, and the bottom mag release. I was not disappointed, to say the least, and that first P210 was soon followed by others. Hello Gary W., Back in the '80s I bought my first SIG P210, a new P210-2, based on what I'd heard about their extreme quality. I'd still love to have one, but it'll probably remain an unrequited love. The newer P-210 design seems to address a lot of these quirks. If I hadn't had a period of financial difficulties - with a wife and son both spending extended periods in the hospital - and my wife having to quit work, I'd probably still have the P-210-6 (and an almost-as-nice S&W 52-2.) (Probably a good thing as it has always been hard to get parts for the more exotic SIG models. I've never heard of a P-210 needing maintenance work. Mine came with a proof target (fired from a Ransom Rest) that showed a five-shot group of about 1.75" - at 50 meters (roughly 55 yards) - and I've seen smaller targets. Back then, the mags were about $100 each, there were no after-market options, and I waited for almost a year to get two mags from SIG before I finally gave up.Īll that said, the gun had its moments. I couldn't stand the heel mag release and the meager 8-round mags. 22 upper!), because the hammer ate his hand. A friend had two, but eventually sold them (one with a matching. The rear sight on mine (a P-210-6) was sharp and the first time I used it in a match, I came away bleeding.
