A well built 1911 is as accurate at the P210. No hammer bite and better mag releases. Longer lasting than the 220 and 230 series, though by the time you wear out the Sig the pistol cost is small compared to the ammo. No idea on how long the P210 will last but it is probably similar to the 1911.
As far as training a group to a minimal competent standard? Parts swapping for maint. In large organizations? The 220/230 series. These shouldn’t be considerations for an individual purchase though.

My points were rhetorical as I'm very familiar with the 1911 and the P210 as well as the later offerings. I think it is an apple and oranges comparison, with the 210 and with the more modern da guns. I think the Sigs, and especially the 210, are usually much more accurate out of the box, especially in 9mm. I think the 45 would have the edge in knock down power and would offer better accuracy in the GM. 451 Detonics magnum and 45 super are a different category and I guess more for handloaders today, My husband prizes every single 451 Detonics magnum case he has. My gut feel is that the 210 will wear less in use, it is certainly made with a much harder steel and built to tighter tolerances. Of course it would not fare as well as a goose loose GM in the bucket of sand test. Ultimately it is down to personal preferences.
