Sig P210 Target.

The original owner said he put about 200rds thru. He replaced the target grips with standard grips and included both in the sale.

I can't wait to shoot it. I have been wanting one for a couple of years

ETA: The pistol is in EXC/LN condition, I do not know what those spots are, they only show in the pic.

Enjoy. The American models are worth the price of admission IMHO. I replaced the big target type grips on mine too, with standard style grips.

Happy New Year MP-44,

That is one beautiful handgun.

Target shooting is a lot more fun when you're shooting a precision handgun.

I hope you enjoy many years at firing lines with your new handgun.

Will the pistol handle a diet of warmer ammo? The majority of my ammo and what I use at the range is Winchester NATO Q4318.

Other than that, all I have are Federal 124gr HST +P and ridiculously hot PRVI military 124gr surplus that bulges cases and blows primers in everything ( it has been run thru ) other than an HK, which I wouldn't dare shoot in the Sig.

My German Super Targets love the hot ammo, as do my Swiss P210's. The original P210 was designed for Nato ammo.

I don't know about holster fit. Reference the Winchester 124 NATO though, I've used it in all my SIGs, to include my 210A. I have also used the 124 HST +P in my 210A. There have been no issues whatsoever in using this ammo in any of my SIGs.

I have no experience with the PRVI you mention.

The original P210 was designed for 9mm Parabellum. The Internet says it was produced from 1948-2006

The Internet also says NATO was formed in 1949.

So, the P210 could not have been designed for NATO ammo.

Designed to use a cartridge that NATO later adopted, yes. Designed for a NATO cartridge (or loading), no. The gun existed before NATO did.

It was designed to run on hot NATO-spec ammo, regardless what it was called. The gun was adopted in 1949. As a correction, the P210 was not designed particularly for 9mm. 30 Luger was a big part of its early life.

During Swiss P210 production, many changes in manufacturing took place.

The American P210A has some differences, the locking block being one of them.

Very nice. My P210a, Dan Wesson PM-9, and Les Baer PII all compete for the "most accurate" award. Really, they are all about equal in that department.

Enjoy the P210a... if you can find ammo!

It was designed to fire the pistol cartridge 41. This ammo, produced at the federal ammunition factory in Thun, was adopted with the first 9mm weapon of the Swiss army, the 41 sub machine gun. Safe to say it was hot ammo.

Here is an older box with my 1949 P49, the 1811th delivered to the Swiss army

It was produced until 2014 with minor changes (jacket material) and then replaced by the pistol cartridge 14 (as in 2014)
