This one is for you P210 fans:
- P210 50th Anniversary -

Swiss SIG P210s were manufactured in Neuhausen, Switzerland
from 1949 until 2005. (Then there were no P210s made from 2005 until
2010, when the production of P210 resumed in Germany by Sig Sauer).

This limited edition was made in 1999 to commemorate 50th anniversary of
P210 production. The gun has not been fired in 19 years, but that is going
to change (my time permitting) this weekend. While to many (Most?) this
looks too gawdy and nothing more than a BBQ gun, I am pretty excited
to add it to my collection.

001 - to 250 came with rounded edge safety, square profile cross-checkered
slide stop and no half-cock “safety notch” on the hammer, exactly as
the first production run of P210s back in late 1940s.

251- 500 came with a more modern textured safety, updated shape slide
stop and with the half-cock “safety notch” on the hammer.

I know that Swiss SIG P210 SIG or German/U.S. Sig Sauer Pistols are not in the mainstream
of popularity of the brand. For those of you that like P210s and would like to discuss or read
about this specific model a bit more, stop by the FB "Sig P210 Owners group":

You're from Armory Craft? This is the same one that went for $6K a few weeks ago. Very nice. There's another one active right on you know where.

Yes, Q.
I am the owner of Armory Craft, however P210s are my true passion when I am not working
Here are a few of them:

Thank you. Love it!

By the way, your "The father (Swiss P210), the son (German P210), and the grandson (American P210)" is a FANTASTIC READ !!

I cross-posted your link in many places ;-)

Yeah, maybe I should have waited. The one I bought was unfired, however since
I shoot every pistol that I own, maybe this mint pre-owned example that is being
offered with NO RESERVE! would have been a better and cheaper option - we will see I guess.

Btw, what is the model on the right end? Is it the American in natural stainless?

It is the US P210A that I had hard chromed.
Robert Burke (TheSigArmorer.com) did also a nice trigger 'tuned up for me'.
It breaks just as nice as my German Super Target.
Nitre Bluing was done by Brandan Bunker from Baunker Arms

Did not know Burke also works on P210. His website never mentioned it. I guess I never considered the P-series to include the P210, because it is such a different beast from the rest (P220 -> P229).

Just to clarify. The overall pull was decreased from 3.25 to around 3.00.
However, when I eliminated the pre-travel and pulled the gauge to the 'wall' - the break
went down from 2.75 to the number you see above. I am VERY happy with the final result.

A very nice collection of 210's!!

Very nice pistol BullBarrel. Its barrel, seen through the ejection port, appears to be a bit rusty.

You know, I'm pretty sure they did test fire it, so, I'm surprised they did not have the test target for the Jubilee model.

It really is not rusty, in this photo it picked up more of the reddish color for whatever reason, however it is just that the bluing turned plumb color as the pistol was sitting idle for 19 years. Unlike other p210 barrels that are bright steel, they blued this one (as I am sure you have noticed also on safety, slide stop and the trigger which are usually unfinished)
