P210-5 HF - Waffen Oschatz

ARMORY CRAFT said:

Both were converted by Waffen Oschatz to have the frame magazine release. On one of them they cut off the lanyard loop and used the corresponding grips without the cutout. On the other one they kept the loop and used the grips with matching 'window'.

Not sure why. Could have been just customer's request when the order was placed with Waffen Oschatz.

Do you have some extended magazine in this P210?

I just bought P210-6 tuned by Oschatz with additional 6" barrel , and looking for 10 rounds magazine

Absolutely beautiful, how come one has a lanyard hook in the grip and one doesn’t? Just getting into Sigs and noticed the differences.

Similarly the P210-8 (designed by Leon Crottet of Waffen Crottet) retained the lanyard loop for the first series and removed it for the second series

I always wondered why some -8s have the lanyard loop and some do not.
My P210-8 does not have the lanyard loop so I am guessing it is the second series. I have the adjustable sights, but not the extended beaver tail. Considering that only a few hundred of -8s were made, it would be interested to know how many are actually out there and when the switched to deleting the loop. Most of the -8 pistols I have seen thus far have adjustable sights.

A lot of questions about 210-8. I wonder:
- how many have the lanyard loop and how many do not
- how many have the extended beavertail and how many do not (the two versions seen in your pictures above)
- how many have the adjustable sights and how many have fixed sights. (I am guessing not too many)
- how many -8s were actually made in total

40 1st series with lanyard loop
200 2nd series without lanyard loop
1 P800000 produced after Sig lost one (they could not double a serial number)

No idea abt the beaver tail, I didn’t even notice this.

But now, checking several 210-8 pictures, I believe the beaver tail might have been a post production upgrade by Leo Crottet.

The ad from which I pulled the picture mentions that the pistol was overhauled by Mr Crottet in October 2021

Michael Zeleny has more knowledge, including some serial numbers

If the Oschatz modification included the frame magazine release, you can use our extended base pads:
