I was advised by the seller that it will be at least two months, maybe more, before it is stateside. Thanks for all the nice comments and info. More is always welcome.

Woo HOOOO! Just discovered that Kramer Leather makes holsters for the SIG P210 (as well as bunches of other guns). Now I can have a LH carry rig for this somewhat rare pistol if I want one. Anyone owning a P210, or other gun hard to find leather for might want to check them out. http://www.kramerleather.com/

Hey, I think RCmodel makes custom and fine holsters..

The first thing you need to know is that if you have one, you will need to start planning n your second! They are addictive.

You need to plan on mags, many mags. They are not cheap, but the gun is fun to shoot so you tend to want to shoot a lot and that means many mags.

I found that a 6 o'clock hold cranks up the rear sight too high on my -5. I now use a center of target hold.

I found the 210 is not forgiving on crappy or low quality ammo. Buy or make good stuff.

My -6 you need to keep the screw tight for the trigger. I usually have to tighten it every 700 to 800 rounds.

You will end up letting folks test it out a lot. Few folks have seen them, fewer still have shot them, everyone seems to want to try it out.

Peter, how about some targets with holes in them?

Will the new Legend P210 mags with with a replacement P-38 mag base on them work in the old guns?

50 shots, 15 yrds, offhand and you can see a few called fliers.




This is the heavy frame. Look at how thick the rails are ahead of the slide stop.



This is the light frame. Notice the extra cut below the frame rails ahead of the slide stop.



Just in case there is any question about it being a heavy frame.

I have not shot my 210's in a while. I bought an EMP 9mm which is something that I swore I would not do, ie buy another 9mm but I did. It took a thousand rounds or so to break it in and I was shooting my P7 PSP's a lot so I am actually out of 9mm ammo. I have the press doing 38 super, then 10mm, then 40, then 357 sig and finally I will get back to 9mm. I expect it will be another 4 or 5 months before I have any 9mm in stock to shoot.

Think of that, I should get off the web and on the press. I need to finish up the 3000 rounds of super I set out to load over the holiday.

A Legend magazine works with a P225 base plate, but you have to file about a 1/16th off the back of the base plate.

Of course, after I bought 3 (at the old, cheaper price) I found out that the original P210 mags last forever and ever.

Thanks, Peter, love the pictures and target. JohnBT, thanks for the tips. If I can't find any mags at decent prices, I'll be doing what you did.
