Got home yesterday after work. Saw a package that arrived earlier during the day. I took my time to change and to take care of some chores, knowing it would take hours for this package.


Finally opened the package and found a Sig P210 customized by Mr. Ted Yost.


Sig P210 was considered one of the best 9mm in the world. This one was made for the Danish Army. Also known as the M49 or P210-2.

Thanks to Cyc Wid It for his few posts on Calguns that led me to LTW. When I got here, I immediately fell in love with the guns from Heirloom Precision. I went through all the pages and saved all the guns done by them and studied them over a few months. By the time I got the phone calls, I knew what I wanted…..

Special thanks to Mr. Yost and Mr. Burton for 2 incredible guns! They spent significant amount of time to discuss both builds and gave their advises. As one can see from the photos, all the details were well taken care of!

Please excuse my eyes. Could not see so many pieces of lint while taking the pictures. Only saw them when I was correcting the color in Photoshop.

Wow, the P210 is nice but the Commander takes the cake; beauty.....

The level of my awe is only surpassed by the level of my envy...

Beautiful guns and pics. Enjoy!! Heirloom is one of my favorites also.

Beautiful guns, that P210 is outstanding...

I worked at SIG for 5yr and never saw a P210 that came close to being that nice. Just outstanding.
