Hämmerli 212

[Classic12]

LGS had this cute little Hämmerli 212. It is called Jägerschaftspistole, and is used for a special discipline of the DJV, the German hunter's organisation. It is a timed event, 3 seconds at 25 m, drawing and shooting at the old silhouette duel target (thanks to Andyd for that info).

It is derived from the International / 208 / 215 series but simplified. It has low profile sights, adjustable for windage only.

As with many Swiss firearms it oozes quality and workmanship

My 215 for comparison

I took it straight to the range, and as expected it worked flawlessly

Looks like a SIg trailside with a black slide!

I think the Trailside and this Hammerli are the same gun with different names.

Walther bought Hämmerli in 2005.

Dang, that's a fine looking pistol.

Very nice!

I love my Trailside but wish I could justify the price for a 208.

The Trailside is nice but not in the league of the other models.
I have owned a 208, 280 22/32 combination, and SP20, and they were all stellar Bullseye guns. I only sold them because I no longer competed and wanted to pass them on to others to enjoy.
