What Swiss/German 9mm do you own? I'm guessing the P210?

German user name and a fondness for German/Austrian firearms...in Wisconsin? Shocker!

I lived in Cedarburg when I was a little kid and my grandfather lived in Tomah. Shame the Brewers couldn't get it done this year. Pretty clear the Pack isn't gonna either.

Welcome aboard!

Probably talking about the Swiss frame SP2022, but its slide is milled stainless steel, not stamped.

Thanks for clarifying. The KF date code means it's a 1995 SIG. Smile

Here are the conversions from letters to numbers:

A = 0
B = 1
C = 2
D = 3
E = 4
F = 5
G = 6
H = 7
J = 8
K = 9
