I've only owned two...
556R 7.62x39 rifle and a recently purchased P210 Standard...both are excellent shooters...
Love your 210-6...hopefully SIG will make a .22 Conversion for the new models also...

I've gone to a Sig 229 Legion as my EDC; maybe the best non-1911 gun I've ever owned.

Gun guy I met is big into Sigs and has Legion series 226, 229, a new 365, but his all time favorite is a Legion 229 SAO. Is an SAO that much smoother than a double action 229? He seems to think so because his 229 DA was for sale.
My other auto is a .45

I would like to try a new model 210
Funny story, when I got the 210, i took it to the range and it was being admired by a fellow shooter. I let him know that this was my first time shooting it. We set up a target at 25 yards. Low and behold, Five shots that could be covered with a quarter. (This was standing two hand grip.) I just smiled, set the gun down went and got the target and went home.
Complete luck but it sure looked impressive to the other shooter LOL
I’ll see if I can find a picture

Well made and reliable guns, but for some reason they make their traditional lines of guns with huge-ass bore axes. And for no reason at all, they carried that tradition over to the P320, too. Nuts. There's no hammer on it, so no need for it.

He seems to think so because his 229 DA was for sale. Mine is an SAO, as at heart, I'm a 1911 guy. The SAO & the DA/SA 229's are the same gun except for the trigger & a safety on the SAO. The SAO trigger is very, very close to a 1911 feel; the DA/SA is also very, very good with a dedicated trigger to the Legion series & for anyone who is not comfortable carrying cocked & locked, it's the next best choice..................DA pull is excellent & the SA pull is only a tad not as good as the SAO. I have a Beretta 92 Compact with a highly re-worked over trigger with an outstanding DA pull, & the DA/SA Sig Legion is every bit as good or better right out of the box. JMHO MM

I like my Sig P238 and Sig AR, though. And should never have sold my Sig P230 back in the 1990s. The latter is basically their modernized version of the PPK in .380.
Sold my P228, P220, P320, and P239 for the bore axis issue on all four. Otherwise, apart from that issue, among the best traditional double action auto-pistols out there.

I have two West German Sigs, a P226, and a P225. Latest is a P365. All are sweet shooters. I much prefer the balance of the earlier lighter folded slide 9mms over the later machined slides.

My old P228 was West German marked, too. I likely should have kept it just for collector value. I bought it new in the 1980s.

Was issued a 226 for > 10 years. Dead nuts reliable and ammo was free so I learned to shoot them well. Clunky handling and crappy trigger. I would never buy another.

For years the only Sig I had was one of their 1911's, an STX. It's been trouble free and is a good shooter. Several months ago I got a 365 and it's my EDC. It, also has been trouble free and is a good shooter. The 365 is amazing. For such a little gun it really, to me, shoots like a big gun. When I'm shooting it I don't have the sense I do when shooting other small pistols or revolvers, sort of a feeling that the gun is barely adequate for shooting...hard to explain. In any case, I don't get it with the 365.
The idea of getting a large frame SIG keeps flying across my mental radar, especially in 10mm.

mike r Me too... P226 .40 SW. Very accurate and reliable. However it just isn't my like in a defensive handgun.
