Beautiful pistols bac.

Excellent photos too. I see that your photos are hosted on ImageShack. I use ImageShack too. It has a nice feature: You can post a reduced-size image (e.g., 760x570) to a forum without the bother of uploading the reduced image. But I don’t see any evidence that you utilize that feature. Perhaps you have a way of utilizing it that’s different than my method.



Serious about crackers

I have the 6" Super Target and 5" Silver Legend Target, but personally, I prefer my SIG 210-5 LS to the German made counterparts.

Im more of a classic P210 guy and I have a hard time getting over the changes in appearance they made.

I hear you. I love the Swiss models also, but for me they need to be the classic forged target models with the round Sig logo.

I've got this P210-6 complete set from 1967. It has the matching 30 Luger barrel and entire -7 rimfire upper assembly and test targets for each caliber. Really incredible pistol.















This one is, in my opinion, the Holy Grail of Sig P210's...the impossible to find forged Heavy Frame from the 1970's. This example is from 1975.

Beautiful collections. I don't have a Super Target, but I was lucky enough to find a Legend Target on a layaway plan, and I have an original P210 that I got the same way.

Glad the new magazines don't cost as much as the originals.

Oh, dont get me wrong, I'll pick a Swiss over a German or American any day.

My absolute favorite is my forged P210-5 Heavy frame "Nationalmannschaft" in .30 from the late 60s.

Unfortunately I can't shoot this in California, or even assemble it, without breaking the law (pic taken out of state) :/

Very nice indeed

The forged HF is my favorite. So hard to find and when they do come up for sale, prices are through the roof.

Yeah, I'd like a 5" one, but they're not easy to find!

An understatement for sure.

The last one online was in shooter grade condition. It wasn’t terrible, but far from pristine. It brought over $17,000.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words.

I highly recommend the P210 Super Target. At $4000, they aren’t cheap, but well worth it.

I realize you can get a P210A for $1400, but the difference in quality and craftsmanship is readily apparent, not to mention they utilize the original locking system.

Beautiful collection. I have numerous $500-$1000 guns and always thought "man, I don't see how people spend $2000-3000+ on a gun when my guns function just fine at a fraction of the cost." Then I picked up a mastershop P226 X-Short black and white from one of our awesome members here. Now i'm not sure I can buy another gun under $2000 because its such a blast to shoot.
