Default SIG P210 NEW or OLD ?

I been waiting for SW to make a 10mm but can't wait anymore. Now i want to buy a SIG P210. If i am using it just for shooting at the range should i buy a new or use one ? The older ones are more money then a new one. I been dealing with a gun shop on line. I bought my Sig P226x6 from them. They find old P210 guns and repairs them. The gun smith told me the older ones are made better.
I just sold two of my guns and i have $2000 to spend. The older P210 can be as high as $2800. Is it that much better ?

Buy an older one. The price you quoted seems a little low.

OK, I wouldn't sell either of mine for twice that. Yes, buy the Swiss made Neuhausen gun. If you're really interested, look for one with at least the 22 cal kit also. It turns the P210 into a fun shooter of 22 cal ammo. I should have asked the price yesterday at the gun show on the .30 Luger ammo. My -2 gun is a 3 caliber gun. It fires them all well. The only real problem with the 22 cal kit is you can't get additional magazines. That means you need to really inspect the mag comes with it to be sure its a goodie. The 9mm and the .30 use the same mags. Once you've owned and shot one, you become a true believer and an advocate. No reason to insist on a -6 gun, but there are those who feel that way.

My suggestion is to fire the gun you want if possible, or at least one to make sure you don't have flabby hands. Some shooters encounter hammer bite. Its kind of been isolated to folks with either really big hands or meaty hands. The hammer comes back and bites the shooter in the web between the thumb and forefinger. If you watch threads over on the sigforum, you occasionally get pictures of bit hands. I've not noticed the problem myself. In fact when folks over there started complaining about it I thought it was a joke. But it apparently happens with a small minority of shooters. Those are folks who end up selling quickly, at a loss, and remain unhappy.

Thanks for the info. I have a steel plate in my r/wrist and have no power in my hand so bad the i can't release the slide on 1911. That is why i shoot revolvers. My first 1911 i bought,i put my left hand to close to the slide and had to get 5 stitches.
I still want to get a P210
