Sig P210 A Information

If it's not too much trouble for someone with an American version of the Sig P-210, would you grab a dial caliper, or micrometer and measure the width of the slide at the muzzle?  Thanks in advance for doing this.

Thank you Tovaert!  Did you by chance get my message about wanting one of your recoil spring guides for the P-210A?

You can put me down for 2 of them, then. I plan on getting a carry version when it comes out.

Hello! First time poster (and very new to bullseye). I bought a P210A as my first gun (figured I could use for centerfire and CMP Service). Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is a recoil spring guide used for?

The recoil spring slides over the guide, a pencil shaped metal or sometimes plastic “rod”. The purpose of the guide is to allow the recoil spring to compress evenly along its central axis without linking or bending. Some pistols have “full length” guide rods that are exposed (stick out) when the slide retracts. At least in the 1911 design, there are regular (shorter) guide rods that only extend an inch or two into the spring and remain hidden, and then there are long, full length length ones.

When you field strip your pistol you will find the spring and guide parallel to and immediately underneath the barrel. Hope that helps.

Understood - thanks for the clear explanation!

The pictured it looked very nice. What is the advantage over the original Sig guide rod?

The stock P210A guide rod has broken for some people, even with small round counts. It's a captured spring design and on some the head that retains the spring is breaking off.
