Note the slide is mounted on rails inside the frame. The forebear of the SIG P210 was the Browning inspired SACM M1935A. As the barrel and slide assembly recoiled a toggle link under the breech end of the barrel caused the breech end of the barrel to tip downwards unlocking it from the slide so the slide would continue back into battery ejecting the spent cartridge case in the process. On firing the slide and barrel assembly would remain locked together by recoil lugs in the top inside of the slide and corresponding lugs in the top of the barrel’s breech end. Browning design the Petter variation used a slide set in rails on the action. His Model 1935A pistol was and is an excellent design, based on the Browning short recoil system much like the M1911, but with the slide-rails inside the frame. Charles Petter was Swiss, and had military experience, having served as a captain in the French Foreign Legion.

Switzerland shares common borders with Germany and France and in 1937, with the political situation being what it was, SIG looked to France for the base design of its new military handgun, and purchased a license for the Petter designed Model 1935A being manufactured by SACM (Société Alsacienne de Constructions Mécaniques). The SIG P210 was designed after Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft (SIG) were tasked with creating a replacement for the Luger pistol that had served the Swiss military well from its adoption in April, 1901. This is a standard issue pistol with military holster.
The SIG P210 was almost certainly the most expensive pistol ever issued to soldiers.
