It is of all-steel construction chambered in 9√ó19mm Parabellum and 7.65√ó21mm Parabellum. The Schweizerische Industrie-Gesellschaft, or the Swiss Industrial Society, commonly known as SIG, and located in Neuhausen am Rheinfall, stands alone among the manufacturers of small arms in having designed and produced the only sidearm ever to be adopted for military and constabulary service that was meant to be equally well suited for bullseye competition. While early service-grade sidearms such as the C96 Mauser and various variants of the Borchardt-Luger pattern are capable of equal or better accuracy, this degree of precision in bullseye performance was incidental to their design brief. Whereas the requirements of the Swiss Army that led to its adoption of the SIG SP47/8 pistol as its Pistole 49, expressly incorporated a stringent standard of accuracy in formal 50-meter bullseye competition. Made around 2006, very rare late production P210 6S with a heavy frame and side mag release. These guns were made at the very end of Swiss P210 production; only about 200 were made.
