three Swiss, a German and an American walk into a bar…

I never thought they would follow through with this…

P210 Carry

Paying homage to the foundational craftsmanship of its forerunner while maintaining the features, weight, and balance of an ideal carry pistol.

The ergonomics of that pistol look appealing to me, but I’d have to hold one to confirm. I’d prob buy one, if I was looking for a 9mm in that size.

I love my P210 Target! And, I'm very intrigued by the Carry model... But, here's what I want them to do: Rework the frame so that the Carry takes 15-round mags made for the P365! Yes, the frame would be a little thicker (not much), but you can compensate for that by making the grips a little thinner.

Call it the P215! I think they would sell more than the P210 Carry.

Since Sig probably won't do this... I may end up with a P210 Carry.

May have to buy one to go along side my P210 Target.

Kind of cool to be the first aluminum framed P210 I guess. They were always all steel.

There was an aluminum-framed M49 prototype series. It failed.

Yeah I remember reading about that one a while back. I didn’t think it made it into production

I think that perhaps SIG Sauer America should have retained the original barrel lockup in order to retain the true heritage of the Swiss P210, but at the end of the day the P210A is a superior blaster just like the Swiss and German siblings. Its quality of fit and finish are easily on par with the German version and the later Swiss CNC versions. Obviously the older Swiss had more hand fitting but that’s because they had no CNC capability back then.

The only hand-fitting involved in the assembly of a production line SIG P210 from its inception was the adjustment of the double pull lever. Every other component was designed to drop in as manufactured.

bac...... I've got to give you credit. When the first Amercan P210's were announced you weren't a fan. Glad to see you have an open mind towards them.
I really enjoy shooting my Swiss one, but it's kind of a nostalgic firearm. It's great to see the concept modernized, even if it is less of a hand fitted firearm. I shoot left handed so the new carry model is not an option for me. For those who think the new one is expensive, it really isn't when you compare it to what Nighthawk and Wilson are selling. Especially if you compare it to their all steel single stack models. You can buy 3 P210 carry models for the price of a Nighthawk T3.

Come to think of it, I haven't slid my T3 up and down the sidewalk for ages. Time to beat on it before it gets confiscated for saving the mall from a mass shooter with an AK.

Yeah I enjoy shooting the P210A. I don’t really shoot my German models much and I never shoot my Swiss models.

The Carry model is intriguing

 

[glock2619]

I might be a player when I run across a like new one for $900. Probably a good shooter but likely wouldn’t get carried much if ever. I think it looks pretty nice.

 

[CAcop]

Yeah it’s always been right hand only, but it didn’t always have a thumb safety anyway

As it originally was it was close to the position of their later decockers. Doable for a left hander but not superfast. This variation is like a 1911 single side only. Doable but super awkward. Pass.

 

[CAcop]

What’s so special about the German P210 that makes it a legend?

It's like people who piss on Ford era Jags vs old school.

I wish that all American SIG Sauer products had received the same care as the P210A. Then there wouldn’t be the beta testing debacles of the P365, MPX, 556, P320.

Remember the 7.62 commie, I think it was the 556r?

I read so many angry people I just noped away from the 556 series.

Of which neither were anything to rave about. It took Indian ownership to right the wrong.

 

[QNman]

I like it!

The old school Jags was all about how you can afford to constantly have it in the shop and have a second car be a MBZ.

As a kid I didn't understand it until my uncle, a BMW mechanic/service advisor, explained to me performance vs ease of use. A lot of parallels between cars and guns that way too.

 

[jf44]

Just in time! will get my Staccato C2 first and then the P210 carry!

 

[NoJoy]

It sure is tempting. I’d buy it over the SA35.

Without a doubt

One of the local shops said their card just got charged for four. Should be in within a week.

That’s awesome

I may grab one of these when I see it locally
