A different SIG P210

[OLIAR15]

A couple of months ago I saw an ad for a cheap (CHF 1000) Sig P210-2 (milsurp P49) from a private seller. Cheap 210s are scarce, demand is very strong for 210s.

I met the seller and saw the gun, which had a few issues : some wear, some rough machining marks, non original barrel (different number), mag grip and sights.

On the plus side, the adjustable sights cost 250.- new, the sport wooden grips 120.- and the mag is a high polished early one and they cost more too.







I bought it for CHF 900 and decided to get it hard chromed (satin) at a local specialist. And here is the result :
















I am very happy with the result

And it still shoots like a P210 should (25 meters offhand)

Very nice pistol. I assume you are in Switzerland. They are far more in the US.

That turned out great! I just started my P210 journey, would like to add the standard.

It would be cool if Sig released a "retro" P210 stateside.

Wow, that looks spectacular, OLIAR15!

CHF = Swiss Francs. There's a far greater supply of them in Switzerland.

OLIAR, that turned out beautifully. I've been debating a 210 for a while as there are a few nice used ones for sale on various boards.

What's the process for buying a firearm privately in Switzerland?

Never shot one but it looks amazing.
Good luck with your new bang bang

So I don’t chase a dragon:

What makes these nicer than a 1911 9mm that isn’t steeped in Swiss mysticism?

Because I sorta want but want to be educated a bit more

Have the same gun mark5pt56 and love it most accurate semi auto pistol I own.

Mine shoots better than my Dawson Precision tuned 2011 9mm Edge. They are just super accurate. I hate the safety on the original and prefer the american model.
