Santa was good to us. His & Hers, SIG P210A Targets.
We had a nice Christmas. Santa was good to us. Of course, WE were good also!
Just got them from the FFL this morning. Hopefully, off to the heated indoor range tomorrow.
Range report to follow.

The pair.

I'm certain the amount of your "kickback" to ol' Saint Nick will definitely be worth it. Wink

It's really an astounding handgun, more than worthy of wearing the P210 moniker.

His looks better than hers, imo. How did she let you get away with it? Lol.

She doesn't like odd numbers in the serial number.
I don't care one way or the other.
Simple as that!

BTW, they are not consecutive serial numbers.
They are 11 apart.

The wood on your grip really looks better, to me.

Wow, Santa hooked you guys up for sure!

Congrats on a pair of fabulous pistols. I love mine, and every time I shoot it I’m amazed at the accuracy and quality that these pistols have.

This was my first thought.
I like the darker grips.

Awesome pair! I need a target to go with my standard.

Very cool and congrats

The P210A Target's controls are based on the P210 Super Target. It also offers a good portion of the Super Target's performance for a third of the price.

Here's my 5" and 6" Super Targets

Finally made it to the range today.
Both P210 Targets shot well.
I have been using up some Greek 9mm ammo.
It's dirty and has really hard primers.
We had 4 or 5 cartridges that needed a second hit.
It wasn't unexpected, it's a known issue with this ammo.
124 grain FMJ, and pretty hot. Good stuff for new tightly fitted guns.

Once we switched to 115 grain Blazer Brass all was good.
Her P210 had some intermittent self healing internal sear/hammer issue once.
Had a dead trigger. Racked the slide several times, thumb cocked the hammer several times and all was good again.

Likely a piece of debris in the wrong place.
Several hundred rounds of Blazer Brass after the problem, all 100%.

Both pistols required several clicks of windage adjustment.

They are really nice pistols!

Congrats to you both. I really like the extended controls and the added beaver tail on those models compared to the standard model,if you can call it standard.

Bac's stainless model is gorgeous.

Had the pair of P210A Targets at the indoor range again yesterday. They both were 100% this time.
I also brought one of my all stainless P226 pistols. It's a Stainless Elite originally in .40 S & W.
I acquired a complete LNIB 9mm top end as part of a pistol purchase a while ago. (Black Nitron finish on the slide)
And recently made a purchase from Sig for one of the 9mm P226 factory replacement barrels with chrome bore/chamber. I fired several hundred rounds of jacketed ammo to smooth out the hard chrome.
Then I broke out some of my cast lead reloads and fired 50 through my P210A Target and 50 through the all stainless p226 with the chrome lined barrel.
My Girlfriend shot 100 rounds of the reload through her P210A Target.
All three guns shot really well with the reload. 125 grain cast lead round nose, 4.4 to 4.5 grains of Hodgdon CFE Pistol Powder. And between $0.11 to $0.12 per shot.
Both P210A Targets and the P226 should see some USPSA competition this year.
I keep forgetting just how much smoke grease lubed cast lead projectiles can generate!

What Division for a P210A in USPSA?
At 8 shot SAO, it seems ineligible or uncompetitive.

Bruce Gray and an accessory maker are reportedly in cahoots for a magazine well funnel and a magazine extension that would get you in L10 Minor, if and when.
