Not that I could afford a P210 but this is fascinating. Please keep us informed with pictures.

Good news. The German P210 Super Target arrived on THU. The adjustable rear sight as well as the cutout in the slide - seem to be identical with US P210A
If that gets confirmed - this means that this red dot adapter will work with these 4 P210 models: - Legend Target - Legend Super Target 5" - Legend Super Target 6" - US-made P210A
With these 5 red dots: - Vortex Venom - Vortex Viper - Burris Fast Fire 2 - Burris Fast Fire 3 - Docter

...have a little Flat Target Trigger update as well. Please note that this CAD drawing is missing the 6 gentle front trigger grooves. The grooves will have the same spacing as Swiss National Match pistols from 1960s.

....update with vertical grooves.
(grooves were present on National Match competition P210 made in 1960s'.....all other P210 triggers are smooth)

If I had a super nice P210 I would want a super nice RDS. Is there any reason a mount for an RMR is not being considered?

That is sacrilege in an uncomfortably exciting way. Definitely looking forward to hearing how it turns out at the range.

If anyone is looking for a P210A my local gun shop has one for $1400. It’s a very small gunsmith shop in a small town more than a store so it might be there a while.
Just saw it tonight.

....moving along, making some more tweaks but if everything works as planned, this should be pretty much the final look of the mount for American P210A s well as German Legend Target and both (5" and 6") Super Target models.....(production pieces will be black and will fit 5 different red dots).
Flat trigger will still have a tweak or two coming up...

And the Trijicon RMR?

No plans for Trijicon RMR at this time.
Why? Simple business economics. 1) wanted to start with one mounting pattern before offering more
2) Considering the minimum required quantities by our manufacturer, from a business perspective it makes more sense to offer a mount 'at first' that accommodates 5 different red dots vs just one. (it will work with Burris Fast Fire 2 and 3, Vortex Venom, Vortex Viper and Docter)
3) If someone (a retailer or quite a few individuals) guarantees purchasing of 50 units, I will float the other 50 in stock, to pay for additional R&D for Trijicon.

The red dot mount is cool, but I need non-target grips that are a bit smaller before I buy a P210A.

Thanks for the follow up. Color will be black?

Nuclear, The flat trigger, red dot mount and the 'regular/non-Target" grips are the there P210A projects I am working in. Expecting to have something meaningful to show in OCT as far as the grips go..
DC3S,
Yes, the color of the mount will be black. However, it will also be available in brushed silver (custom orders) to match the German Target and Super Target silver models.
Something similar I did here with X5 X6 red dot mount (fits also the same 5 red dot models). Normally it is available in black, but also in silver in small quantities - per request.

Leaving for Europe in OCT and meeting my manufacturer. I am promised to have my prototype of nice non-target grips in my hands on OCT 22nd when we meet. They will have the same look with similar checkering, a little of a palm swell in the middle as the stock ones - but no flare on the bottom and will not go below the frame. A new base pad will be available with these regular slim grips.

Wow!
Super cool!
It does seem a little wrong for the old to meet the new in this fashion but I appreciate the ingenuity.
