Do the older Sig 210's have a different finish than newer ones? I saw one for sale but it had a reddish-purple color on the frame. Is this normal -- good or bad?
I'd like to put a deposit down tonight so any info asap appreciated.
Hello. I believe it's normal. The older one I owned had a similar color as does the slide on my HK P7. I'm not sure if it has to do with the steel content or the bluing or both.
I concur with Stephen, it is a characteristic of certain steels.
Grab that Sig if its a good deal, they are incredible in every sense of the word. :smile:
Some of the older models do have a "fire" blue finish, this is normal and Walter Birdsong does a mean Black T P210, you can see mine in the HK section.
