Saw a couple of youtube videos on this storied service pistol. There were 3 for sale on Guns International-a used US made one for under $2k and a couple of Swiss made pistols for $3200-$3800.
So for about what you'd pay for a "standard" Wilson Combat 1911 in 9mm you could own one of these instead-used. Should be a great range gun-supposed to have a wonderful single-action trigger.
Any experiences with this pistol?

I have one of the US-made versions. Very nice pistol, smooth as butter, trigger came from the factory at 2 lbs 14 oz. Very accurate.

The P210 Legend was the reintroduction of the early P21os and were made in Germany.
Best of both worlds.
They were spendy when they came out and moreso now.

Mine is super accurate and has fed all the ammo I've put in it. Great gun.

Looks good, feels good, shoots good... Hate to see the hammer cam back a fraction of an inch every shot but roll triggers are the rage in pocket pool these days.

The originals were very accurate but not built to take a lot of use, frames would crack, other things would break. But they are terrific Guns. I do not know if the new ones are built tougher or not. A good friend in Sweden does wonderful work repairing issues, cracks, etc. Hakan Spuhr, if you look up his FB and YouTube site you’ll get a lot of good info, but you may have to scroll through a lot.

Had never even touched a 210 before December 2019 when I handled one in a gun store in Connecticut...one dryfire of the trigger told me I was buying one... Watched GunBroker until the right deal came along on a "used" but unfired one...got it for under a grand delivered... Just the standard fixed sight model but since it shoots exactly where the sights are who needs adjustables....
If you want to plink and do some target work with a 9mm this is the gun...

A good buddy of mine,, (actually a brother from another mother,) has one. And it's the gun I always try & steal from him. It's his "baby" and I can't seem to get it from him. He recently chipped the wood grip, so he added a new set of composite grips. I liked the wood better.
His gun is smooth, accurate & fun to shoot.

Bob Thanks for letting me try this one also Bob! As those deflowered before me have plainly exclaimed... “so that’s what that was about.”

If my memory is right. (It might be for once ) The p-210 was the 1st pistol design that had the slide riding inside the frame. But I might be full of it on that...

I was at the range yesterday with a good friend and his P 210. His groups were remarkable.

I have only handled them when I worked at Cabela's. A guy ordered 2 of them, at over $2k each.

If a Korth revolver was an auto it would be a Sig P210. Past smooth to slick, both the old and modern guns. I've fired both, and lusted after both. Pinto's has a modern one for $1290, and if they hadn't had a couple of older guns I was interested in it would've been mine.
