Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Development of the P210 began in 1937, when Sig purchased the rights to French designer Charles Petter’s Modele 1935A pistol (anyone who has handled both will notice the similarity). The French army had adopted this in the 7.65 Long caliber, and Sig began by changing it to 9mm Luger. They also moved the safety down onto the frame of the pistol and replaced Petter’s barrel linkage with a milled cutout integral to the barrel. Sig had prototypes ready for testing by 1944, with both single-stack and double-stack magazine variants.
The Swiss military decided that the double-stack pistols were less comfortable to hold and thus less accurate in practice and decided on the single-stack model. However, World War II ended before they formally accepted a design, and the acquisition program was ended. Mechanically, the pistol is basically of the Browning system, with a short recoil, tilting barrel. The unusual aspects are the slide riding inside the frame, the use of a modular and easily removed fire control group, and the exceptional fit and tolerances.

The pistol was revived in 1947 through the interest of Swiss target shooters and the Danish Army, and production began that year under the designation SP (Sig-Petter) 47/8. The Swiss government took another look at the design and finally adopted it in 1949, at which time the P210 name was also formalized. The SP 47/8 and P210 differ in a few details. Namely, the P210 does not have a loaded chamber indicator.
