Does anyone have one of these ? They are not inexpensive at anywhere from $1200 -$1300 . I am interested but would have to see and handle one in person first . I have read plenty of favorable reviews . Any first hand experience here ?

I had the target grip version, same gun. Mine was the most unreliable pistol I've ever had, Sig fixed it but I sold it, the target grips didn't agree with me.
I have one and mine is a very well made and reliable pistol right from the box. I believe I posted pictures of it along with a vintage one and a German Target model somewhere here not too long a ago. I believe the thread had Sig P210 in the title.
I admit to being a fan of Sigs and love the P210 made in the U.S. because of the beaver tail grip giving my poor fat hand relief from hammer bite. I hope you get to handle and shoot one. My prediction is that you will be enamored with one.
I found the post to which I referred not too far down, and it is entitled: Sig P 210-1 & 210-2 and was originated by our Swiss friend CLASSIC12.

I have one, very accurate. The only compliant I have is that the trigger reset is long for a single action auto. I also have a Nighthawk Enforcer in 9 mm, that is equally accurate, but has a much shorter reset (and cost three times more than the Sig). 1911 magazines hold two more cartridges than the Sig, if you're considering using it in some action pistol sport. I think the 210A is the least expensive was into a highly accurate 9 mm.
I have one of the USA made P210 Target pistols. It has turned out to be very accurate and reliable. I've been shooting ISSA matches with it and enjoy it immensely. Yes, the target grips are large, but they work fine despite my medium sized paws.
Where are you located, OP? If you're anywhere near me, we could meet up if you want to take a few shots.

Mine works just fine, smooth as silk. I just don't shoot it enought.

It would be interesting to see a side by side of the US made vs. the Swiss version for accuracy from a Ransom rest.
I doubt the hand fitting of the US version is anywhere near that of a Swiss model but it is a guess only.
That hand work or time spent is a major driver of the cost IMO.

I appreciate all the replies ,it's always good to hear from actual owners . It appears that they quit making the Standard version and only offer the Target model. Am I correct in assuming the only difference between the two are the adjustable sights and the grips. The Standard model with the smaller grips is the one I have my eye on.

The target version of that pistol also has forward cocking serrations. The top of the slide is different where the rear sight attaches, so a standard model would not be able to be retrofitted with target rear sight without modification.
The grip frame is the same between them, and I know many people who have put standard model grips on the target model pistol.

My write-up of a side-by side. The US was the target model, but close enough. Bottom line on accuracy is at out to 25 yards wasn't bad, but at 50 yards and beyond the Swiss was a whole other animal.

I really wanted one.
But I hear about the recoil assembly (the screw, in the front) breaking fairly often (it's covered over at Sigtalk). Plus, the trigger is VERY light. I know it's more of a target gun--which is fine. But, I dunno... I'm personally just not real interested in something with a trigger so light I wouldn't feel comfortable carrying it.
But... other than the recoil spring issue... I haven't heard about a ton of issues with it.

I was told there was a standard, a standard target, and a target. The target gets the target grips and target sight. The standard target gets only the target grips.
I have the target and love it. The trigger pull is very light and the feel you get when racking the slide is what I imagine you'd get with one of the high priced 1911s (I don't have one of those). It is as smooth as glass.
I paid $1350.00 for mine and think is well worth it.

I got a new P210 earlier this year, and chose the 'Standard' model as I didn't care for the 'Target' model's grips. My 210 has been 100% reliable, no issues at all.
It's a very accurate gun, with great fit and finish. As someone else mentioned, it's slick/smooth as glass when you rack the slide. Great trigger, good sights, low bore axis, nice grips, and just really nice ergonomics.
Only nit I have about it is mag capacity, but it's not the end of the world. I'm blessed to have a nice selection of guns to chose from, and I find myself taking the 210 to the range most trips. It's a very nice gun. Nice quality, all steel gun that shoots like a dream...

I bought one of the standard models. It is well balanced, reliable, tight as a bank vault, with the best trigger pull of any 9mm that I've ever shot and it's good looking to boot.
On the negative side, my Browning High Power is much more accurate, but I'm still playing around with loads for the 210. With its conventional rifling, it should shoot cast bullets as well as my HP, but so far it's in second place, even with its reputation as an ultra accurate 9mm.
