I was watching this one on GB just to see how high it would go. I know it is a excellent example of the pistol, but dayum!

| I would love to have one. They are so well made (from what I have heard) and beautiful, but there is just no practical use for them is there? I mean is there any competitions that you can compete in with single stack 9mms? I guess you could carry one, but I doubt someone would drop that kind of coin for a carry piece. Is that just a gun for collectors and bulls eye shooters? |

I actually looked at one of those a few years ago. For the life of me I can't figure out why they cost so much. It was a nice enough pistol but honestly, I was kind of underwhelmed. Because of the tight tolerances and accuracy, basically a hand made pistol. Even the new German made examples are $2000+. |

I have one of the new ones.
Has always been my grail pistol and my family got me one for my 50th BDay/XMas. They are quite beautiful and dare I say it, sexy. Handling is superb, they feel much smaller than they actually are. They are also one of the few pistols that shoot like a short rifle. Can't wait to wring it out at longer ranges. The long sight radius and fitting of slide inside the frame probably contribute to their accuracy. There's just an aura about the 210........... If you're looking for practicality tho, I'd just get a Glock 34. |

I was given one by a uncle when I turned 18 in all the years that have passed I have only shot it a few times.
Sadly it lives in the safe more then taking it shooting but when it shoots it puts other pistols to shame. I do take it out and oil it and fondle it and she always brings a smile to my face. (Yes the pistol is a she) |

And hammer bite is the worst I have experienced. A tang extension is made that attaches to the frame. It cured the problem for me. And I replaced the cheap plastic grips with nice Nill wood grips. The thing does shoot like a rifle. |
