Bought A Sig P210!

American1776 · Feb 7, 2020

that's nice! I had one, the first target model that was released.

Here's a question: Mine was able to drop the hammer when the safety was engaged. I would gently put downward pressure on the thumb safety, without actually disengaging it. At the point when just before the thumb safety would actually disengage (still engaged), the trigger could be pulled and the hammer would drop. I called SIG and the man on the phone said his model did that too.

Has this been addressed?

Also, your rear sight appears to be leaning left. Does it shoot POA?

Dunno. I havent attempted that but I will let you know. I do know that you can safe it with the hammer down, and the slide moves with the safety on, which took some getting used to for a 1911 guy like me

I purchased this German P210 Super Target last summer and love it. I looked at the American guns and they were very nice but I decided to go with the 6" barrel and I am glad I did. The fit and finish are super nice.

Thats real pretty my friend!
I would have chosen the same if it were in my budget and available choices!

I have two Sig 9mm and have been looking at picking up a Sig P210 in .45ACP. Glad to hear another great report on these.

They dont make the 210 in .45. You are stuck with 9mm in this model

BEEMER1 · Feb 7, 2020

For a SIG in 45 ACP go to the P220, they shoot just as good.

Notice the test target, 5 shots in 5/8" at 25 meters.

Well now, don't overlook the P210 chambered in 7.65mm. It's a dandy.

True. And they did one in .22 also but I am told they are rare.

So a magazine update:
These things:
+1 Magazine Extension for Sig Sauer P239 Pistols > Galloway Precision
Fit the 210 mag perfectly and make them 9-round mags.
I am very pleased with them and the price is right!

I swapped the grips with a set from grips4u.
They have a larger palm swell and a checkered backstrap. They also have concealed pins along the back that ensure the grips are perfectly flush fitting with one another. Its very nicely done and these are extremely well made. These feel perfect for this pistol.

I highly recommend the P210 Super Target from the German Mastershop. They sell for about $4000-$4500 on Gunbroker, but worth every penny. You get the same design as the original Swiss gun instead of the locking block Sig USA uses as one of the ways they cut costs.

You also get near Swiss P210 level of parts quality, build quality and refinement, along with modern features like a beavertail and thumb safety. I own multiple Swiss models and enjoy shooting my German Super Targets more. I was always a Swiss P210 guy and still am, as the older ones in particular are some of the finest handguns ever made by man. However, for the range, I'll take the German Super Target every time.

As for the American P210A, I’ve shot a couple. While they aren’t something I’d buy, they are good shooters for not a lot of money. However, if you have the means, I very highly recommend the German Super Target. You won’t be disappointed.

As a Navy enlisted man with three kids and wife in college, I certainly do not have means, but I absolutely DO have the enthusiasm and admiration!

As a mean person of means who lives in a non free western state, I can't buy a German made one nor the modern production one at a gunshop.
Es tut Mir leid!

Purchased one of the 210a's and am very pleased with it. Cleaned an apparent excessive amount of grease out of the hammer assembly, and the trigger got even better. Seen several with same situation , but that was after the first round of production. While not as finally machined/hand fitted as my M49, it is easily more functionally accurate with a better trigger. Really think it is a good deal at the price.
