My boss suggested that, if we have any guns we wanted to dispose of, we bring them in to sell as stock is short and demand heavy. I have several I no longer had use for, so I brought 5 of them in. The Shockwave is being auctioned (it was up to 800 last week), but I sold the other four outright. The store had a P210 Standard I had been eyeballing, and the manager suggested I use part of the sales funding to apply towards the purchase. Under state law, that's considered a barter and the 6 percent sales tax does not apply. I did. I put a couple of mags downrange, and it is a sweet shooter. When I get more magazines I intend a full work out.

Congrats, I've been thinking about a P210 for years but the time hasn't arrived yet.
I went looking around today, the big shops were swamped & stock was exactly as you said. We went to a pawn shop & the wife found a S&W Performance Center M&P Shield 9 EZ that she likes so much I think her P365 is moving on soon.

I wish I could say the same thing. I picked up my new one today and shot 100 rounds of .124 grain Blazer Brass FMJ and 50 rounds of 115 grain Blazer brass. I had 10 failures, 5 rounds stuck in the chamber, slide locked back and round still in the magazine. Then another 5 where it stopped 3/8" before going completely into battery. I think it's too tight. I am going to shoot 500 rounds through it and see if it fixes itself before calling SIG. It does have really nice balance, is very accurate and has a pretty nice trigger, a bit of take up though.
My local larger gun store had amost all empty pistol shelves 2 weeks ago, then mostly full again last Saturday, and today almost empty again.
My Target has been a very enjoyable gun over the past couple of years. I admit that I still like shooting my CZ Custom Shadow more, but my P210s have been very good in their own right.

Probably a darn good purchase. The standard is discontinued, leaving only the target and possible carry version in the future -- the expensive ones. Low production numbers means it's an instant collectable. Hard to see how prices won't rise in the future.
Plus it's just darn accurate, shootable, and built to withstand a direct nuclear attack.
For all these reasons I couldn't resist either -- got mine back in Feb, shortly before 2020 gun panic #1 began.
