USA Sig P210 Target/Standard ?
I am very interested in owning one of these . I would very much like to see and handle one in person first though . But since none of the gun shops any where near me have any stock nor do they have any plans on getting any that's not going to happen .
I'm not likely to see one unless I purchase it first .
My question is for those members who own either one of these models . These are not inexpensive handguns ...any buyers remorse ? Is the quality of the fit and finish worth the asking price ? How about the level of accuracy.
It's primarily the Target version I am interested in but apparently other than the grips and adjustable sights these models are the same.

Go for the target version, adjustable rear green fiber front. Then order a set of the Hogue Cocobolo grips for it.
It is my opinion that this gun is the #1 very best current production gun made in the world today. There is no comparison to any other. Lockup, quality of fit, quality of the Titanium Carbide coating and etc etc. I have owned mine since they first came out, 2018 it was? Something like it.

I purchased the P210 target version last March and finally got it out to the range yesterday. Only ran probably 50rds through her as I had numerous firearms I needed to shoot but those 50rds were problem free. Trigger is very nice! Overall a real pleasure to own and well worth the $1,500 purchase price.

...there will be no Buyer's Remorse...the trigger alone is worth the price of admission.
I bought the Standard model, which by the way, has been discontinued. Have been totally happy with the sights and they were spot on right out of the box... Would gladly buy a Target model and from what I usedstad they are bringing out a Carry version...

I acquired the P210 Target last fall, have close to a thousand rounds thru it now. It has the best trigger of any semi-auto pistol I have fired. Very accurate, extremely well made. It has been worth every penny of the $1,400 I paid for it (I got a screaming deal on mine). If you want a quality target pistol it’s well worth the cost.

I couldn't be happier with mine. Runs flawlessly, fine finish, great trigger, worth every penny.
My only problem: It is so good I can't justify ever buying any other single action 9mm (and a whole bunch of DA/SA 9s as well.) [Note: I have the same "problem" with a Remington 1911R1S, .45 Sig220 I had worked on, and my 4006FSW CHP and a few other guns -- I can't justify buying, for instance, a plastic, fantastic striker-fired when I have a 5946 converted to DA/SA, Walther P5, or 3914 LS; or an SW99 in 9 & 40 if talking striker types.)

If you mention where you are, you might get a message from a local who has one.
For an alternate view, I really didn't care much for the new target model P210. I wrote it up and linked below, but the bottom line is I much prefer the original for build quality and accuracy, particularly at longer ranges. The trigger on the new guns is as nice as the old guns, but it's not nicer than several other guns in this price bracket.
If I was going to spend this sort of money and wanted a gun to shoot, I'd suggest looking at something like a CZ Shadow 2.

The trigger group can be removed and the weight of the hammer spring fine adjusted by turning out the spring retention bar making the trigger what you want it too be.
Any road side CZ 75, even the Shadow 2 can not hold water to the P210 in accuracy due to the stamped sheet metal front bushing. A fully accurized gun w Accu bushing made by CZ Custom maybe can but that starts at $2K.
One last thing is that the trigger makes for a extremely light yet rolling break. Not creep, not a crisp break, a light roll. Different but non the less a class all it's own. Takes getting used to and after not shooting for a while the gun typically runs away from me for the first few shots.
I have many guns that I love but like I said earlier, the single best gun I own and have ever shot.

I will add to the chorus of P210 fans. I have one of the first version -6 models, one of the new American versions, and the jewel in the crown is a German Stainless Target model. The German Target model has a trigger that is hard to compare to anything else I've ever shot.
I seriously tell folks that I allow to shoot the German gun to not put their finger inside the trigger guard until the sights are lined up. I've had several people unintentionally double tap. The first words that usually come out of their mouths is "OH, XXXX" unless they remember I'm a retired preacher.

I can't speak to the accuracy of the CZ, but they do win lots of matches so I presume they have some redeeming value. $2000 for a race-ready accurized gun vs. $1650 for basically a range toy... it's your money and you get to spend it however you want. $2200 *might* get you an original P210 and at least that will appreciate in value and has far nicer machining.
I agree the trigger of both the original and reproduction P210 is excellent, but I'm not sure it's exactly a class of it's own.
If you don't reach out beyond 15-25 yards then the accuracy of the replica is fine, but at 50 yards there's no comparison with either an original P210 or a nice 1911.

I'll pile on! I have a P210 target. I am very pleased with it. I have put around 1000 to 1200 rounds through it without a single hiccup. Accuracy on paper at 25 yards is spectacular. It even makes me look good! Fit and finish is impeccable. The trigger is great. Definitely an old school pistol; all metal and single stack mag. It quickly became one of my favorite pistols.

I'd owned Swiss and German versions, and suspected an American made model would be some kind of loosely fitted approximation. Fingers crossed, I bought the American Target model soon after they were released. There is absolutely no detectible play or looseness in the fit of barrel, slide and frame. Machine work in and out is very clean. The two stage trigger, same type as the Swiss and German versions, breaks at approx. 3 1/4# on my example. Accuracy is consistent with what the Swiss and German guns produce in my hands. I replaced the big target grips on mine with a more service style grip from Hogue. I do prefer the adjustable sights so I can actually zero the pistol at whatever distance, with whatever ammo, I prefer.
No "buyers remorse" here.

A friend has one, he let me shoot it. I was impressed, he said he would use it for Bullseye if he was younger. Spent the couple hundred more and buy the target gun with adjustable sights. Just my 2 cents. Very interesting gun but I have an STI Trojan and CZ 75 Tactical Long slide, both very accurate. If I didn’t have those 2 I would have bought the P210 Target. Larry

I've had the US target version for a while. Personally, I wouldn't rate the trigger pull and accuracy over my TSO. The truly annoying thing is that the tuned Canik TP9SFX is nearly as good for a whole lot less dinero.

If you're only punching holes in paper, get the Target model and enjoy likely the finest single stack 9mm going. I went the Standard route, intending to perhaps carry it at some point. For the slightly less than 1000 rounds through it so far, it cuts one ragged hole point of aim/point of impact and gives a couple inch group at 25 yards, still centered spot on with a variety of factory ball and defensive loads. Maybe I lucked out with the sight adjustments but, I'm very pleased.
Side note - I've heard the Standard model has been discontinued, only going forward with the Target and the smaller Carry models now. If you want the Standard, I'd start hunting one down.
