The SIG M/49, usually called only Neuhausen in Denmark, is the Danish military issued version for officers, military police, and special forces, chambered in 9 mm Luger, and is a specially marked version of the P210-1 or P210-2. This is the standard sidearm in the Danish military, though heading on nearly 60 years of continuous use, the SIG M/49 is being replaced with the HK USP but still in service as main pistol in the Danish military.

Serial numbers starting with a P were made for private use. Those that start with an A are the property of the Swiss army. Those that start with an D belongs to the Bundesgrenzschutz issues. Those that have a P added to the rear of a serial number that starts with an A have been sold by the Swiss army to civilians. A stamped "P" (="privat") on the front of the trigger guard shows that a weapon was left as a gift to the owner upon leaving the Armed Services. Danish and German P210s have their own special serial numbers.

As of 2010 the SIG website shows a new 210 "Legend"—typically it has been modified for a frame-style magazine release and other updated features. Available with fixed sights or adjustable target sights. The Legend is so far available only in a proprietary "Nitron" finish and is now made in Germany instead of Switzerland, where the P210 was previously manufactured. MRP is US$2,199 for the Fixed Sight version, and US$2,399 for the Target Sight (September 2011).
