[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1247902, member: 229"] Even the German-made P220 is nowhere near the gun that the P210 is. Part of the appeal is the engineering/design, part is the craftsmanship/quality, part is the legendary status it has achieved as being uber-reliable and uber-accurate while in the hands of the Swiss Army (also the design was in 1935, so its almost as old as the 1911, which was revised in 1924 as the A1). Even though the P210 didn't enter service-life until 1949, its based on one of those old engineering marvel-style designs that makes you wonder how they did that back then (and in my book, places it along side the Luger, the 1911, the BHP, and the S&W 39) The fact that this gun will be made in Germany is also good, but means that since it has to be imported (and I doubt very many dealers will have the new guns), the price will probably not settle and get into average-joe budgets. Still, its one more gun to add to the "if I hit the lottery" list. [/QUOTE]
