I went shooting today, too

I had to test a gun or two to decide if they were going to make it to the show with me this weekend to be culled. Went to a friend's house where we can shoot steel on private property. A while back, I picked up a Swiss military SIG P210 and I took it along, as I'd never shot it. With Speer Lawman 124 grain factory loads we were ringing steel at 100 yards with ease. My targets are portable mini-IPSC silhouettes made of AR500. They are 10" wide by 20" high. We were able to hit that target consistently with no holdover (gun was shooting higher than point of aim at that distance) and, since we had just painted them, measure groups. I shot an 8" group at 100 yards off an improvised rest with the wind howling. Didn't take a camera along, so I can't provide neat pics like Creeker.

Anywho, I'd always heard these were accurate pistols. I am curious what it will do when I can test loads and shoot under more favorable conditions? To think this one was once issued to a Swiss officer. Imagine the US issuing Ed Brown 1911s to our officers.... That is probably a pretty close comparison.
