SIG SAUER P210 - Manual (Page 16)

7. Maintaining the firearm
7.1. Stripping the firearm
1. Unload the firearm (Fig. 5.8.1.).
2. Remove the magazine.
Grip frame and slide with your right hand. Pull
slide backward approximately 5 mm while at
the same time pushing down on the slide stop
from the right with your left-hand index finger
until it moves to the left and can be removed.
Pull off the slide with barrel and recoil spring
toward the front.
Grip rear of recoil spring and pull it out.
Lift the barrel a little at the rear end, push
forward slightly and remove to the rear.
The extended barrel with front sight base can
only be removed from the slide after the front
sight base has been dismantled (Fig. 7.2.).
This disassembly operation suffices for
thoroughly cleaning the P 210 (Fig. 7.1. E).
More detailed disassembly work should
only be performed by trained specialists.
The firearm is reassembled by performing
the disassembly steps in the reverse order.
7.2. Removing the front sight base
̆ Unfasten the front round nut with the aid
of the hook spanner and unscrew it from
the barrel.
̆ Pull the first shim off the barrel.
̆ Pull the front sight base off the barrel.
̆ Remove key from the groove.
̆ Pull off second shim.
̆ Unscrew rear round nut.
To reassemble, perform the dismantling steps
in the reverse order. Ensure that the tapered
end of the key points downward when you
reinsert it into the groove on the barrel.

6. Adjusting Sight
6.1. Correcting the sights
Standard and contrast sights:
Sighting is corrected by shifting the front sight
laterally and by installing front sights of various
sizes. Corrections should only be made with a
front sight pusher. (Fig. 6.1. A)
If the impact points is:
– too far left: shift front sight to the left
– too far right: shift front sight to the right
– too high: install larger front sight
– too low: install smaller front sight
Normal and contrast front sights are available in
8 different sizes as set out in the table below.
Number Height (mm) Shown as
04 5.1 ( -... )
03 5.3 ( -.. )
02 5.5 ( -. )
01 5.7 ( - )
00 5.9 ( N )
05 6.1 ( + )
06 6.3 ( +. )
07 6.5 ( +.. )
Moving the front sight to the side by 0.1 mm
corresponds with a shifted impact point of 3 cm
over a distance of 50 m.
Changing the front sight by one size shifts
the height of the impact point by 6 cm over
a distance of 50 m.
Micrometer sights:
Coarse adjustment same as for standard or
contrast sights.
Front sights for micrometer sights are available
in 4 different sizes: 7.5/8/8.5/9 mm.
Changing the front sight by one size shifts
the height of the impact point by 15 cm over
a distance of 50 m.
Fine-adjustment: (Fig. 6.1. B)
If the impact point is
– too far left: turn windage screw (1)
counterclockwise (toward rear)
– too far right: turn windage screw (1)
clockwise (toward front)
– too high: turn elevation screw (2)
clockwise
– too low: turn elevation screw (2)
counter clockwise
Top screw (2)
1 turn until engaging point shifts the rear sight
by 0.07 mm.
Side screw (1)
1 turn until engaging point shifts the rear sight
by 0.09 mm.
This shifts the impact point at 50 m as follows:
Model Height Side
P 210-6S 2 cm 2.5 cm
P 210-5 2 cm 2 cm
P 210-5LS 2 cm 2 cm

7.3. Maintenance
By observing the following maintenance
instructions you ensure that the firearm P 210
will remain in excellent condition even after
years of hard duty.
Barrel and chamber
̆ Clean the bore and the chamber with firearm
oil after each shooting exercise. Use a suitable
cleaning rod of the right caliber.
Important:
Never clean the barrel from the front. Never
use a steel brush because the latter could
damage the smooth surface of the bore.
̆ Lightly treat barrel bore, chamber and
moving parts with firearm oil.
External metallic surfaces
̆ After each shooting exercise wipe all external
metallic surfaces with a piece of cloth soaked
with firearm oil.
