Sig Sauer P210 Target 5" 9mm Pistol
The Sig Sauer P210 Target Pistol takes the precision of its 1947 Swiss predecessor and greets it with new sleek, custom walnut target grips, a precision-machined stainless steel slide and frame, and a lightweight target trigger.
These updated features pay homage to the original craftsmanship and bring it to a more competitive target shooting level. Meant to balance well in one hand or two, this P210 Target is chambered in 9mm and comes with both adjustable rear and fiber optic front sights. Also included are two 8 round steel magazines.
General
The Sig Sauer P210 pistol is a modern precision firearm incorporating the latest technical advances in weapon design for military, law enforcement and sporting use. The P210 is a mechanically locked, short recoil operated pistol with semi- automatic reloading. Firing takes place with each press of the trigger resulting in one round being fired until the magazine is empty. The slide remains open after the last round has been fired from the magazine. The thumb safety of the P210 can be engaged and still allow for manipulation of the slide. This allows the user to clear a loaded chamber with the safety engaged.
Principal Features
The P210 pistol is a single-action only (SAO) design.
Full length frame rails enhance accuracy.
Positive locking between the barrel and slide.
Disassembly for cleaning does not require tools.
Sights
The SIG SAUER P210 pistols are fitted with either drift adjustable fixed sights or adjustable micrometer rear sights depending on the specific model. The P210 is a precision pistol designed to be sighted in at 25 yards. Sight corrections should ONLY be performed on an unloaded firearm. Manipulating the sights on a loaded firearm could result in unintentional discharge, causing injury or death. Visually and physically confirm the pistol is unloaded before making sight adjustments.
Windage (Left/Right) Adjustment
Sighting is corrected by shifting the front sight laterally and by installing front sights of various sizes. Corrections to drift adjustable fixed sights should only be made with a front sight pusher tool to avoid damaging the finish of the pistol. They should only be performed by a competent gunsmith or certified SIG SAUER Armorer.
Micrometer Sight
The rear micrometer sight of the SIG SAUER P210 offers the shooter a precise method of adjusting the point of impact for both elevation and windage. The top screw is used for adjusting elevation. The screw on the right side of the sight aperture is used for adjusting windage.
Micrometer Sight Adjustments for Windage
Using the center reference line of the rear sight aperture in conjunction with the stadia lines on the rear sight base, rotate the windage screw in the appropriate direction to move the rear sight. The “R” on the right side of the sight base indicates the direction of the point of impact when the screw is turned.
Micrometer Sight Adjustment for Elevation
Too low: Turn the elevation screw counterclockwise to raise the rear sight and raise the point of impact.

Ammunition
1. Use only high-quality, original, factory-manufactured ammunition. Do not use cartridges that are dirty, wet, corroded, bent, or damaged. Do not oil cartridges. Do not spray aerosol-type lubricants, preservatives, or cleaners directly onto cartridges or where excess spray may flow into contact with cartridges. Lubricant or other foreign matter on cartridges can cause potentially dangerous ammunition malfunctions. Only use ammunition of the caliber for which your firearm is chambered. The proper caliber is permanently engraved on your firearm; never attempt to use ammunition of any other caliber.
2. The use of reloaded, “remanufactured” hand-loaded, or other non-standard ammunition voids all warranties. Reloading is a science and improperly loaded ammunition can be extremely dangerous. Severe damage to the firearm and serious injury to the shooter or to others may result. Always use ammunition that complies with the industry performance standards established by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute, Inc. (SAAMI) of the United States or ammunition manufactured to military specifications.
3. Firearms may be severely damaged and serious injury to the shooter or to others may result from any condition causing excessive pressure inside the chamber or barrel during firing. Excessive pressure can be caused by obstructions in the barrel, propellant powder overloads, the use of incorrect cartridges, or defectively assembled cartridges. In addition, the use of a dirty, corroded, or damaged cartridge can lead to a burst cartridge case and consequent damage
to the firearm and personal injury from the sudden escape of high-pressure propellant gas within the firearm’s mechanism.
4. Immediately stop shooting and check the barrel for a possible obstruction whenever:
- You have difficulty in, or feel unusual resistance in, chambering a cartridge
- A cartridge misfires (does not go off)
- The mechanism fails to extract a fired cartridge case
- Unburned grains of propellant powder are discovered spilled in the
- mechanism
- A shot sounds weak or abnormal. In such cases it is possible that a bullet
- is lodged partway down the barrel. Firing a subsequent bullet into the obstructed barrel can damage the firearm and cause serious injury to the shooter or to bystanders
- 5. Bullets can become lodged in the barrel:
- • If the cartridge has been improperly loaded without propellant powder, or
- if the powder fails to ignite (ignition of the cartridge primer alone will push the bullet out of the cartridge case, but usually does not generate sufficient energy to expel the bullet completely from the barrel).
- • If the bullet is not properly seated in the cartridge case. When such a cartridge is extracted from the chamber without being fired, the bullet may be left behind in the bore at the point where the rifling begins. Subsequent chambering of another cartridge may push the first bullet further into the bore.
6. If there is any reason to suspect that a bullet is obstructing the barrel, immediately unload the firearm and look through the bore. It is not sufficient to merely look in the chamber.
A bullet may be lodged some distance down the barrel where it cannot easily be seen.
If the bullet can be removed with a cleaning rod, clean any unburned powder grains from the bore, chamber, and mechanism before resuming shooting. If the bullet cannot be dislodged by tapping it with a cleaning rod, send the firearm to SIG SAUER.
7. Dirt, corrosion, or other foreign matter on a cartridge can impede complete chambering and may cause the cartridge case to burst upon firing. The same is true of cartridges that are damaged or deformed.
8. Do not oil cartridges, and be sure to wipe the chamber clean of any oil or preservative before commencing to shoot. Oil interferes with the friction between cartridge case and chamber wall that is necessary for safe functioning, and subjects the firearm to stress similar to that imposed by excessive pressure.
9. Use lubricants sparingly on the moving parts of your firearm. Avoid excessive spraying of any aerosol firearm care product, especially where it may get on ammunition. All lubricants and aerosol spray lubricants, in particular, can penetrate cartridge primers and cause misfires. Some highly penetrative lubricants can also migrate inside cartridge cases and cause deterioration of the propellant powder; on firing, the powder may not ignite. If only the primer ignites, there is danger that the bullet may become lodged in the barrel.
Transportation and Storage
TRANSPORTATION
When transporting your firearm to and from shooting activities, keep it unloaded for your safety and for the safety of others. When storing your firearm, keep it separated from ammunition, under lock and key if possible, and out of the reach of children and other inexperienced or unauthorized persons.
STORAGE
Never place or store any firearm in such a manner that it may be dislodged. Firearms should always be stored securely and unloaded, away from children and other unauthorized users. Use the locking device originally supplied with this firearm for storage. The use of a locking device or safety lock is only one aspect of responsible firearms storage. For increased safety, firearms should be stored unloaded and locked in a location that is both separate from their ammunition and inaccessible to children and any other unauthorized person.
SIG SAUER® Limited Lifetime Firearms Warranty
SIG SAUER warrants that the enclosed firearm was originally manufactured free of defects in material, workmanship and mechanical function. For the lifetime of the original purchaser, SIG SAUER agrees to correct any defect in the firearm for the original purchaser by repair, adjustment or replacement, at SIG SAUER’s option, with the same or comparable quality components (or by replacing the firearms at SIG SAUER’s option); provided, however, that the firearm is returned unloaded and freight prepaid.
