SIG pistol P 210-6 Target model with short barrel
a) The mobile part is made up of the following components:
P4
barrel with locking and unlocking cam. The ribs on top of the barrel lock in the cor-
responding grooves inside the slide. On the target model with long barrel, the front
sight and front sight base are installed on the for e end of the barrel.
slide provided with lateral gui des. Th e fore part forms the bushing for the barrel and
the recoil spring. The slide holds the front and rear sights which are both adjus-
tabl e for windage. Th e target pistols are equi pped with a special micrometer rear
sight, which can be adjusted laterally as well as vertical ly. On the target model
(P 210-5) with long barrel, the front sight is installed on the fore end of the barrel.
The extractor, firing pin and firing pin spring are fitted behind the ejection port. The
slide holds furthermore the locking grooves for the barrel.

b) the fixed part is made up of the following components:
frame fitted with guides for the slide, with bushings for the slide stop, the magazine
and the action. Th e frame also holds the trigger, the trigger rod, the thumb safety
and the magazine safety. Th e grip plates are fast ened to the frame. The target
models have a grooved front grip strap, so that the pistol lies better in the hand.
slide stop joins th e fix ed to the mobile part.
action casing holding the complete action (hammer, sear, hammer spring, double-
pull l ever, a. s. o.). Th e ejector is formed by the action casing. In the target model, the
action casing is fixed in the frame by a screw.
recoil spring with recoil spring rod and loop. The spring is pre-stressed on the rod.
The complete recoil spring can easily be removed.
c) magazine for 8 cartr idges.

4. Operation
Wh en th e pistol is loaded, the ribs on the barrel lock into th e corresponding grooves of
th e slide, thus uniting the barrel and the slid e. Wh en a cartridge is fired, the recoil drives
the slide rearwards. Until 3 mm {' /s") recoil way, th e barrel does not get out of its firing
axis, while the bullet leaves the barrel after a 2 mm ('/, 2") recoil. After 3 mm recoi l, the
barrel swings downwards, driven by the slide stop and the cam. The locking between
barrel and slide is suppressed and the barrel is stopped by the frame. The slide continu es
its rearward motion. The recoil energy of the slide i s used to ext ract and eject th e empty
case, to cock the hammer and compress the recoil spri ng. The recoil way of the slide is
limit ed by the f rame. After th e recoil has been compl eted, th e sl ide is driven forward
by th e recoil spring. It pushes a new cartridge into the chamber. At the end of the forward
motion, barrel and slide are locked again.
5. Safeties
The following safety devices provide great est security:
a) Thumb safety. This l ever locks the trigger rod and th e trigger. The hammer cannot
be disengaged.
b) Magazine safety. The magazine safety lowers th e tr igger rod when the magazine is
removed. Trigger rod and sear are separated, the hammer cannot be disengaged.
c) Safety when the slide is not fully closed. If the slide is not full y closed, it lowers
the trigger rod, thus preventing it from engagi ng with the sear. The hammer cannot
be disengaged.
d) Safety notch. A second notch retains the hammer if it is l et loose by inadvertance
before it engages wit h th e sear by its principal notch.

6. Changing the calibre
Th e pistol can be equipped with a barrel for either 9 mm or 7,65 mm cal ibre. Onl y the
barrel and recoil spring have to be changed to fire one or the other cal i bre. The magazine
remains the same in both cases.
The weapo n can furth ermore be used with a conversion unit .22 long rifle consisting of a
lighter slide, a barrel .22 with co rresponding recoil spring and a magazine. With the help
of this conversion unit, the .22 long rifle ammunition can be fired automatical ly with
excell ent accuracy. The function of the pistol remains the same as with the normal
ammunition, the barrel however i s unlocked, because of the reduced recoil. T his con-
version unit is most interesting for shooting training since the .22 ammunition is l ess
expensive than the regular pistol ammuniti on.
These conversion units can only be suppli ed with standard 120 mm (4'/.'') barrel and
with ordinary rear si ght.

8. Particularities
The particularities of the pistol can be summarized as follows :
a) Accuracy. The cam prevents any motion of the barrel out of the firing axis as long as
the bullet has not l eft the barrel.
The weapon is fitted with a fine double pull trigger which can easily be adjusted.
The center of gravity is located very favorably around the trigger. Therefore the
pistol "climbs " less and aiming is facilitated, especially when firing rapidly.
Th ese particularities assure a fine accuracy.
b) Function. The mobile parts inside the receiver and the slide are protected against
dust and dirt by the closed construction.
The massive slide acts as working mass.
Owing to these two characteristics, the pistol is very reliable.
c) Safety. Th e pistol can be dismantled, assembl ed, loaded and unloaded with the
safety lever on " S " (safe).
