  The SIG P-210 has also been chambered in 7.65 Parabellum (.30 Luger). I don't
know if it is still produced in this caliber, but it would be a very good gun
for target shooting (UIT style). I have also seen a Benelli in 7.65 para.
Unhappily, the gun has a terrible reputation. I wouldn't be surprised that the
more recent SIG's can also be chambered in this caliber, upon request. I
consider that it is sad that this caliber is so rare now, because it is really
a very good one for target Shooting.
