Not me.
But I do see that the P210A comes with ergonomic features like beavertail, 1911ish thumb safety, and Lugerish* magazine catch that were only available on the Switzers by expensive Old World Gusmithing.

Re magazine catch: Does the P210A magazine drop free when the button is pushed? I was seldom so frustrated as the time I took my P210-6 to IDPA and had to try to reload in a hurry.

*"Lugerish". It amuses me to note that the side button magazine catch, commonly referred to as "American style" was introduced on the 1900 Luger while Mr Browning and Colt did not change from the "European" heel catch for another 10 years. I wonder if the Army requested the change, they had tested both Luger and Colt pistols, pre-1911,

As for accuracy, I do wholeheartedly believe the Swiss guns are more accurate than the P210A or the German P210’s, for that matter. I think from a ransom rest at 50-100 yards, you would see the difference. That being said, these pistols are easier to shoot accurately due to the sights, beavertail, and in many cases, the trigger.

Couple things. Yes the magazine drops free on the P210A, but I’ll say that the target grips coupled with the flat mag release button make it difficult for me to easily hit it.
