Title: Sig 210 pistol...
Post by: K Frame on February 13, 2020, 02:41:28 PM
Often considered one of the Rolls Royces of the handgun world, the 210s have always been expensive. I remember being highly scandalized by the fact that they were going for $700 and up back in the middle to late 1990s.

Well, Classic Firearms apparently has a small lot, and they're willing to let you have one...

For $3,000.  :O

Need a spare magazine? It's a bargain at $150.  :O :O :O

They're overly complicated, break down a lot, are hideously expensive to maintain, and people buy them just for the name?

I once saw a Rolls Royce representative assert quite vigorously that Rolls Royces DO NOT break down! Ever!

They may just occasionally fail to proceed.

FWIW, the classic Sig P210 is the only SIG pistol I've hefted that actually points properly in my hand. (SIGs 1911 variants don't count.)

I have a serious case of the wants for one of the current production models.  They are at least somewhat affordable.

Yep, That's about what the Swiss manufactured ones go for. 

It's a shame that the mags for the new ones don't interchange, as that would at least help the mag costs. 

Gun collecting is not for the frugal.

I've seen the new ones for 1000-1200 on local armslist.  And have been seriously tempted.
