SIG pistol P 210-6 Target model with short barrel
a) Th e 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 corresponding grooves inside the slide . On the targ et model with long barrel, the frontsight and front sight base are installed on the for e en d of the barrel.slide provided with lateral gu ides. Th e fore part forms the bushing for the barrel andthe recoil spring. The slid e holds the front and rear sights which are both adjustabl e fo r windage . Th e target pistols are equi pped with a special micrometer rearsight, which can be adjusted laterally as we ll 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 spr ing are fitted behind the ejection port. Theslide 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 magazineand the action. Th e frame also holds the trigger, the trigger rod, the thumb safetyand the magazine safety. Th e grip plates are fastened to the frame. The targetmodels 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, doublepu ll l ever, a. s. o.). Th e ejector is formed by the action casing. In the target model, theaction casing is fixed in the fram e by a sc rew.recoil spring with recoil spring rod and loop. The spring is pre-stressed on the rod.The comp lete recoil spring can easily be removed.

4. OperationWh en th e pistol is loaded, th e ribs on the barrel lo ck into th e corres ponding grooves ofth e slide, thus uniting the barrel and the s lid e. Wh en a cartridge is fired, th e recoil drivesthe slide rearwards . Until 3 mm {' /s") recoil way, th e barrel does not get out of its firingaxis, while the bullet leaves th e barre l after a 2 mm ('/,2") reco il. Af ter 3 mm recoi l, th ebarrel swings downwards, driven by th e slide stop and th e cam. Th e lock ing betweenbarrel and slid e is suppressed and the barrel is stopped by the frame. Th e slide con tinu esits rea rward motion. Th e recoil energy of the slide is used to ex t ract and eject th e emptycase, to cock the hammer and compress the recoil spri ng. Th e recoil way of th e slide islimited by th e frame. Af ter th e recoil has been comp leted, th e s lide is driven forwardby th e recoil spring. It pushes a new cartridge into the chamber. At the end of the forwardmotion, barrel and slide are locked aga in.
5. SafetiesTh e following safety devices provide greatest security:a) Thumb safety. This lever locks the trigger rod and th e trigger. Th e hammer cannot
be dis engage d.b) Magazine safety. T he magazine safety lowers th e tr igger rod when the magazine is
remo ve d. Trigg er rod and sear are separated, the hammer cannot be disengaged.c) Safety when the slide is not fully closed. If the slide is not fully c lo sed , it lo wersth e trigger rod , thus preventing it from engagi ng with th e sear. Th e hammer cannotbe disengaged.
d) Safety notch. A second notch retains the hammer if it is let loose by inadvertancebefore it engages wit h th e sear by its principal notch.

6. Changing the calibreTh e p istol can be equipped with a ba rrel for either 9 mm or 7,65 mm calibre. Onl y thebarrel and reco il sp ring have to be changed to fire one or the other cal ibre. Th e magazineremains th e same in both cases.Th e weapo n can furth ermore be used with a conversion unit .22 long rifle consisting of alighter slid e, a barrel .22 with co rresponding recoil spring and a magazine. With the helpof this conversion unit, the .22 lo ng rifle ammunition can be fired automatical ly withexce llent accuracy . The function of the pistol remains the same as with the normalammunition , the barrel however is unlocked, because of th e reduced recoil. T his con-version unit is most interesting for shooting training since th e .22 ammunition is lessexpensive than the regular pistol ammun iti on.Th ese conversion units can only be supp li ed with standard 120 mm (4 '/. ' ') barrel andwith ordinary rear sight.

8. ParticularitiesThe particularities of the pistol can be summarized as follows :a) Accuracy. Th e cam prevents any motion of the barrel out of the firing axis as long as
the bullet has not left 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 thepistol "c limbs " 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 againstdust and dirt by the closed construction.Th e massive slide acts as working mass.Owing to these two characteristics, the pistol is very reliable.
c) Safety. Th e pistol can be dismantled, assemb led, loaded and unloaded with thesafety lever on " S " (safe).
