Cohen ruined Kimber and SIG! He will now ruin the 210, the firearm that made them what they are. Fit and finish and trigger feel is also better on older guns. Now we endure issues unheard of before production was in the US. When the first 229 frame was made back in 91/92 we knew the writing was on the wall. This CEO has done what they all do, segmented the offerings with stupid models of everything (ELITE, TACTICAL, ETC…) result lower quality. Why would anyone want a US made Sig, HK, Walther, Mauser etc… Sig is ruined! A once eminently reliable, accurate and beautiful firearm with watch like triggers is in the process of being reduced to the mass market abyss. Especially considering that the current run of P210 handguns clocks in right around $3,000, I’m hoping that the newer, American made target pistols will be much closer to a price point that the average Yank can afford. I’d expect no less from their P210 refresh. SIG has a very good track record of being able to keep those features that define the spirit of the handgun while improving on the internal components as well as the function of the gun. Having owned both a West German 1980’s vintage P226 and a modern Mk25 P226, I’m not worried. Just as the P226 has evolved over time, Ron wants the P210 to progress as well. Now we can do so much more, and (with the blessing of the original designer of the P210) he’s bringing those designs up to modern specs. As he said in our meeting, while the gun is a brilliant design it was made in an era where surface hardening and stamping sheet metal were cutting edge technologies.
He’s working with engineers to modernize some of the older designs, such as the P210. While moving production to the US is one step, Cohen wants to go even further.
