SIG P210-6

[OLIAR15]

I’m a sucker for a nice SIG P210. Whereas milsurp are plentiful here (I have three) and prices are stable, special and rarer models are always hard to find and prices are on the rise.

So this baby came up at an LGS and I couldn’t resist. It’s a 1979 made sport SIG P210-6 in 7.65 mm with an original adjustable SIG rear sight, with box (well a faded cardboard), manual and more importantly test target.







On January 26, 1979, Mr. A. Moser shot 10 times at 50 meters from a machine rest. Looks like a 2 inch group or so.

I also have one from 1985 in 9 mm and interestingly it was shot only six times on the test target, same distance. Maybe by then they were trying to save ammo ?

















I headed straight to the 25 meters indoor range

Very nice sir!

It appears to be nearly new?

Excellent condition variant. Nice one.

I'd add- a P210 deserves an adjustable RS.

I changed the grips for some Karl Nill which are a bit meatier and fit my hand better

And some range time

9mm



7.65 mm

Does shooting the 7.65 feel much different than 9mm? 7.65 aka .30 Luger is not a common round here.

Now that's a pair to draw to!

The recoil is a bit milder. The bullet is faster and the trajectory flatter. Great for shooting at 50 meters.

Very nice!
