Happiness is a new gun 2

The stars finally aligned...anyone have any first hand experience with one of these? Probably should have asked that first

That must be the new P210 carry. I have the P210 target which I'm told is basically the same but with larger formed to fit hand grips. I think the sight's might be an upgrade too, been awhile since I read about it.
Should be an absolute joy to shoot and pretty nice to carry too. I'd love to have one myself. I don't want to carry my Target. Though about trying to get or make some standard style grips, then maybe I would.

Nice acquisition dao! I remember some of ya’ll talking about that carry version coming out a while back. I’ve yet to get the target version. May never as nobody wants to get rid of them for much if any less than new. Classy pistols in my opinion!

The Target has a 5" barrel vs. the 4.1" on the Carry, and has a steel frame vs. the alloy frame of the Carry. Sig did its homework and made it CC-friendly. The sights are Siglites but I did see one reviewer say he was able to pick up the contrast sights of the Target a bit easier, which stands to reason in daylight use.

Is the Target also 8+1 single stack Colonel?

Thanks Bird, I'm looking forward to holding it in hand. I've been wanting one of these since Sig debuted them at Shot Show 2020. It took them a bit more than a year I think to even bring them to market after that, according to Phil Strader because of supply chain issues and covid.

I'm also hoping it will fit in my 1911 Commander holsters. While its smaller in some dimensions I'm pretty sure the slide may be thicker than a 1911, as most Sigs tend to be. But I'm hopeful that at least one of my leather 1911 holsters can be made to fit. No kydex for this one.

The last two pics are the 210 Carry vs some form of the 210 Target. I don't know if it is one of the older gen Targets or a more recent release. The Carry is definitely a winter time option for concealed, especially with the longer grip to conceal.

If anyone is interested this site offers quite a few, but not all guns for comparison https://www.handgunhero.com

That 210 Carry gives me a woodie, but she’s too high dollar for my budget.

Mine too John. I had to sell in order to buy

[JohnR]

I’d have to sell two or three.

I had a small memory recovery and what I was referring to was the P210 Standard. It was very similar to the Target with smaller grips, not as good sights. But I heard the internals and function were the same as the Target.
Sig discontinued the Standard and came out with the Carry which sounds like turned out to be a fine idea. I probably won't be able to pull one off but the desire is there and quite often there's no stopping the train once the desire hits.

You have the Target don't you Colonel? I seem to recall that yours has the big beautifully made grips on it. I did find that there are a lot of choices now for the Target and Standard. I'll be happy with the G10s that come on the Carry as I like them on everything I've put them on.
Sooner or later I'll add to the mags for it and of course make sure I have a good holster but other than those things I don't see the need for changes or additions. Yet.

I think I tried mine in some of my 1911 holsters and it didn't fit very well. If I ever get a Carry I'll be ordering a Garrett Silent Thunder IWB before it gets here.
The 4" barrel on the Carry is appealing, the Target might be pushing the limits but I've been carrying a 5" 1911 for several months now so maybe it would work. It's awfully pretty though, wouldn't want to scuff it up too bad.
I kind a looked and the Carry is hard to find and way high on the cost list but most good things come with a price.
