Thoughts:
Yep, Rally uses it, and claims it's made out of PREPOSTEROUSLY great steel, to the point that dismantling, and then tapping the slide, brings a sound described as being 'like glass'(or similar).
Yep, the Danes used, and STILL use the SIG P210, under the name m/49 Neuhausen, as the standard sidearm. That number does mean what you think. There's a testament to the quality for you.
That .22 insert is a cool thing, I have to say.
Not actually patenting things sounds like a real smart idea. Typically communist state thinking, sorta. On the other hand, if the gun THEN was as 'clearly cribbed straight from the Hi-Power' as it was NOW...that might explain it? Kinda hard to patent something so blatantly stolen, after all...
And then, of course, there is the story of Sweden and the CZ 75, but I've already been over it, so I won't repeat it. It wasn't this model, anyway, but the Rally Vincent one. :)

>blatantly stolen, after all...Well, I'm far from being a patent lawyer, but I seem to recall that it's possible to patent something that's an evolution of prior art, if the patents on same have lapsed (which the ones on the Hi-Power long since had by 1975). They might've been able to make a case for things like the specific workings of the trigger system, the rail design, their revisions to the barrel link, and so forth. --G.
