Also, they’re touted as the finest service pistol ever issued for military service. I believe they even got too expensive for the Swiss to continue to issue, so Sig developed the P220 as an updated and less expensive option.People like P210s because they're old-skool and very well-made. The P49 is the Swiss military-issued version. VERY few P49s ever got out of Switzerland.
So. Rarity.

Sold my Python... (Actually traded it for a Vepr AK). Beautiful gun. Unfortunately the "rereleased" model is not the same royal blue walrus hide polished (yes walrus hide!!!) beauty of the old ones. Even Colt admitted when they released the new model that both the equipment and the training to duplicate that finish no longer existed.I have two. Sig P210 and Colt Python. Both companies rereleased them in recent years, but even though they were less than what used ones were going for before, I just couldn’t bring myself to pull the trigger, so to speak.
Had an Arsenal Izhmash Saiga in 5.45. Loved it, but sold it after the Russia import ban. Was worried about ammo availability and price had almost doubled. I sort of regret it now though…Sold my Python... (Actually traded it for a Vepr AK). Beautiful gun.

My want is a Russian made Izhmash Saiga 5.45x39 Russian AK-74 with Tula Plum furniture.
I wasn't sure before, but I think I may have an inkling now.

The pig is chambered in .308, and was a bitch to hump around. But I agree that it would be awesome to own one! Feeding it would be expensive.A Belt-feed 30.06 tripod M60 Machine Gun, Fired them in the Navy off the back of a DE {destroyer Escort}.
I was in the Navy 1968 to 1972, 52 years ago and I know it was a 30.06 belt-feed with a tripod , what was it called M-???.The pig is chambered in .308, and was a bitch to hump around. But I agree that it would be awesome to own one! Feeding it would be expensive.
I have had a couple of 2's and 3's over the years, wish I still had them. The Automag 3 is a trip to shoot especially indoors, that fireball!I guess I can add Automag II to the list as I had means and opportunity but passed on one yesterday.

Probably will grab one at some point as they are somewhat affordable and obtainable.

The only one I can think of is the M1919 Browning. I was in the Marines in the late 80's early 90's and they had been fazed out.I was in the Navy 1968 to 1972, 52 years ago and I know it was a 30.06 belt-feed with a tripod , what was it called M-???.
