I think I can get $4K for my '81 Honda 900F. The wife won't even notice it's gone.

I would take you up on your offer, but 7 hours each way is too far for a quick test.

I like it, but I certainly don't like it 5 thousand dollars worth! Which is what I say about most high end 1911s too, and which is what a lot of people say about the 210A Target that I bought last spring, so...I'll shut my mouth and admire from afar.

I'd buy that. People are paying that much for CZs and Gucci Glocks.

Wouldn't be too worried about dirt getting under dustcover. This is a target gun that travels from case to range before cleaning and back to case, it isn't meant to be a carry piece I do agree about the trigger.

I suppose one can fit it with barrel-weights a la some Olympian guns, or like the Hi-Standards, but since it doesn't have a rail to do so unless you add one - then it doesn't make sense to skeletonize it either. I think adding a rail for that purpose alone would make more sense than skeletonizing such a target-gun.

That Sig is NOT a duty gun. P210's haven't been duty guns for a long time now. They have been relegated to collectors and competitors mostly. Since it's designed specifically for gun games now, all those lightening cuts may make sense. I've read that some think the 5" balances better than the 6". So the dust cover lightening cuts may be to help offset that perceived inequity. The slide cuts are obviously lightening cuts. That's a lot of material they removed. That would also really speed up the cycle time for rapid fire. It would also require a lighter recoil spring to help reduce muzzle bounce and faster splits. A lighter gun like that would also help with target transitions. The marginally lighter weight would even help with slow fire when you hold for a long time before squeezing the shot off. A lighter gun is also nicer for long training sessions and long courses of fire. The skeletonized hammer and trigger could help eliminate hammer and trigger bounce. For gun games, which this gun is obviously designed for, having entry pathways for dirt and grit are meaningless. They won't face those conditions in the type of competitions this gun would be shot at. BTW, IMHO, the new Colt Python is a superior gun to it's predecessor. They've eliminated all the weaknesses of the original.

But in that regard, then I think anyone with intent on the above is going to choose a SIG-226 or 228 with double-stack mags, or some other gun more adept for these game oriented reasons than a single stack target gun, outside of Swiss style one-hand competition target shooting being the purpose; and then I would not want the lightening to any degree. It's not even available to the most common markets limited to 10-rounds that may make the best use of it for such gun games (being California) where maybe the advantage would be a thinner grip and lighter cycling mass as mentioned. Now if I was thinking of such a gun-games gun and limited to 10-rounds only, and could get it in CA, then that in fact might be ideal; but the Roster will have killed that goal before it were even a thought. I have 5 of 4 variations of the original SIG 49s (i.e., one being the duty version from 1953) a P210-2, P210-5, and P210-6s; and no, after comparing them to the new renditions, the originals absolutely exude better craftsmanship. As for the Colt Python, I do not agree; having several originals and picking up the latest in a 6", the original is still better made even with it's potential for timing faults, and so much of the fragility of what everyone likes to espouse about the originals is not wholly accurate, which were never meant to be "duty" guns either. All Colt has done with the new Python is released a common revolver to the market no better than what was already available on the market from any number of Smith & Wesson or Ruger revolvers (not to mention the Smith P.C. guns) of the past 30 years, yet those can be had for much less, and still had gotten a better gun than the current Colt Python even with it being billed as being without the "weaknesses" of the originals. And the irony is that it still has weaknesses as was learned in short order and the trigger is certainly no improvement.... and then they slapped the "Python" name on it for something that is marginally just a hair better than most any other common revolver - with people foolishly paying double the price because it says "Python" on the side. Colt simply saw the mystique and attraction of what the gun world was placing on the original Python, which was boosted by its pop-culture rise by way of frequent appearance in a certain TV Soap Opera with zombies, and didn't want to miss out while the trend was still hot. Marketing ploy, just like that SIG.

I would settle for a M49 at $1500 all day.
I did hold a nice Kimber 1911 blued ,45 today at $1K that was nice in fit and trigger. I might have to bag the CZ97 for that. My problem is when it's to pretty I won't use it. Lord I wish I still had the clunker I carried for two years in 1967. Humpped in in the mud and rain and didn't care as long as it wet boom boom a few times when it had to.
