Very nice!!

No other Members here own these kind of pistols.

A few months ago I finally broke down and got myself a former Swiss Army P210. Ordinary one with the black plastic grips. Shoots like a champ and is in great condition. At 1200 Swiss Francs it wasn't too expensive as well.

Post photos, please - this is "porn" in the gallery

My one and only P210-6:

Your .22 LR model is so different than the center fire guns. I dont quite grasp how the little round can cycle its slide. Nice pistols you have.

Always enjoy seeing your -6 gun GaryBF. Thanks for posting it up.

The rimfire slides and recoil springs are much lighter then the centre fire versions, allowing the small cartridge to function properly.

In some cases however, .22 LR rounds that are too soft may cause failures to chamber the next round, or FTEs.
I mainly use CCI standard velocity target and RWS pistol match without any issues.

There are certain pistols that are just beautiful. Sig P210s, and P230s are two of the most aesthetically pleasing that I know.

I've had P210s on and off since the '80s. Currently have Swiss, German and American versions.
