Re: What's on your CTRL+V?
The SIG P210, is, to quote noted gun collector Ian Hogg, "the best pistol in the world". Of course those of you who have forked out thousands for a heavily customised target pistol may disagree, but there is little doubt that the P210 is the highest quality pistol to ever leave a factory with the intention of equipping soldiers or police officers.
The story of the P210 starts before World War 2, when a Swiss engineer, Charles Petter submitted a design on behalf of the company Société Alsacienne de Construction Mécaniques (SACM) to the French Army who were looking for a new service pistol, and this was adopted as the Mle 1935A. For some bizarre reason the French chose the calibre 7.65mm Long, more commonly known as 7.65mm MAS, rather than the 9mm Parabellum. Ballistically 7.65mm MAS is similar to 7.65mm Parabellum, though with a lower velocity. Petter based his pistol to a great extent on previous Browning designs such as the Colt Government Model.
The Swiss were obviously concerned at the prospect of a German invasion, and the demand for pistols for use by the Army was high. The Swiss could not manufacture the complex 7.65mm Luger pistol (known in Switzerland as the Model 06/29) fast enough, and started looking for a simpler pistol chambered for the more effective 9mm Parabellum (although in the end the P210 was made in 7.65mm Parabellum also).
Fortunately for the Swiss, in 1937 the company of SIG (Schweizerische Industrie-Gesellschaft) had acquired the rights to the Petter designs from SACM and started work on improving the design for use by the Swiss Army. Their starting point was apparently Petter's final design for SACM, a 9mm version of the M1935 pistol. By 1944 various prototypes were ready for testing, the main ones being the SIG-Petter 44/8, 44/15 and 44/16, the number after the slash indicating the magazine capacity. In appearance the 44/8 looks almost identical to the M1935A except for the safety being moved from the slide to the frame. Internally the pistol was also very similar, although SIG dispensed with the swinging links that Petter had copied from the Colt Government Model, and used their own method of locking, with a kidney-shaped cutout in the lug under the chamber
