There is nothing in the 210 design, which is itself just an evolved variant of the Charles Petter's SACM 1935a, itself evolved from the 1911, that is covered by patent anymore. Swiss arms tend to be more expensive (and the Swiss have, themselves, copied CZ's as often as anyone, the AT-84, Sphinx, and ASAI examples being among the best CZ-derived pistols out there).
There are plenty of Hi Power clones/copies, but since FEG drove most clones, when FEG died, the HP clone market died with it. Yeah, the Bulgarians and Argentines still make them as far as I know, but the other makers used FEG parts and without FEG parts, that was that.
Other than being a fine pistol, there really is nothing about the 210 that makes it desirable to clone or copy. It is a full-sized low-capacity 9mm single action service pistol. There are shooters who appreciate that, and I won't bash it, but really, where is a manufacturer going to interest anyone in a full-size service pistol in 9mm that only holds 8 rounds? The other two big guys in that category shoot 45acp, and big bore guys are fine with fewer rounds.
In 9mm, the 210 would have to compare with CZ, Glock, SIG, and others, that offer 15 or more rounds - effectively double the round count. So, the only way to compete would be to go with something nicely-made - and that is a small market. Besides, why pay extra dough for a "knock off" when you can get the original?
I'm not all that impressed with the price of a 210. It just ain't a two grand pistol to me. There is nothing in the design that requires it to be that high (and I suspect that even with precision production techniques, the price is too high). Others would disagree, and that is fine.
