After using Glocks for years I started looking at 1911s mostly for target shooting. I stumbled across the Sig Sauer p210 at a PSA and bought it, it has the qualities I was looking for and has a good reputation for accuracy. It has the same manual of arms as a1911 and it reminds me of a classic CZ as far as disassembly. I’ve had a couple of trips to the range and I’m very impressed with the gun, it is in a different category than a Glock. I’ll try to upload an image, 11 yards 5 shots offhand. It’s a keeper!

This is how it shoots straight out of the box. It has adjustable sights and I’ve not touched them, however I may move them to the left a bit.
I was seriously considering a 1911 in 45 ACP when I happened upon the Sig. It’s not the cheapest gun around (but there are other more expensive guns as well) but the results speak for themselves without mods or jumping through hoops.

I just acquired this Swiss Military issued P49 the other day. The original Swiss made P210 were issued to the police and for commercial use. The Original Swiss P49 is the exact same firearm but it was built specifically for the Swiss Military and the serial number start with the prefix A. My P49 is in almost in mint condition as well as the holster. The barrel and the top of the slide doesn’t have any wear marks on them. There is no carbon anywhere, rifling is clean and immaculate and no wear marks on the magazines from inserting and removing them. The slide itself has very little wear on it at the muzzle from holster wear. It is practically brand new. I was more than happy to add this to my collection. The P210 & P49 is known as one of the most accurate firearm straight out of the factory box. People would buy the original Swiss ones surplus and shoot them in pistol matches stock against other people with custom built race guns. They are extremely well made and very expensive to produce. A cheap beater Original P210/ P49 will cost you more than a new P210. The original ones are very expensive and the military one go for more than the police and civilian ones do. They are all collectable but the ones that bring the most money and most desired one for collectors is the early high polish blued P49 with wood grjps.
