Sold it today. Got it as soon as I could and shot about 800 rounds through it. As with a lot of things, not as "in love" with it after I got it.
Pros
1 Never a single malfunction eats ANY bullet design
2 Good trigger
3 OK sights
4 Nills grips are perfect for large or small hands
Cons
1 Hard to find holsters
2 No more accurate than other 9s I own
3 MOST IMPORTANT. Does not look or feel like the Euro version.
This gun will shoot, is reliable and handsome. Just NOT like the original. Overly Americanized.

This is why I did not pick one up. It is not the European Swiss or German gun internally or externally IMHO. It sort of looks right but the more you look at it the less it looks and feels like the original. I made this point on another forum and was roasted for it. No one wanted to talk about the change in design, MIM parts or feel of the gun. There is a reason these are selling for $1,300 +/- vs the European production guns. It is a different gun with the same name.

I am not saying it isn't a quality shooter it is just not P210.

Most of the people I have ever had issues with about particular platforms never owned the gun in question. I buy a lot of guns for that reason. I have them here for folks to shoot and decide for themselves. I never had any respect for folks who were full of opinions that had never owned, shot or handled a particular gun. This gun was an overt effort to make what we were used to shooting instead of providing a truly unique and exotic feeling.
As always, ain't no free lunch!! It cost 1/3 for a reason.

My time on the original was very limited but the minute I picked up the new one it felt different. It completely reminds me of the Sig 556. They gave us a cheap American style version of the Swiss battle rifle. It was a decent gun in and of itself but in order to bring the cost down and appeal to the masses they stripped the greatness out of the gun. There is something about those Swiss guns that have "feel" all their own. They exude European precision and craftsmanship. The US versions do not.
