I have the P226 Legion SAO and it is one of the best pistols that I have ever shot. That trigger is insane. Thanks for the review and cheers!
Hands down my favorite pistol. The grips are super nice and the ergonomics are great. Its heavy enough to limit recoil but not overly heavy. I got the RX SAO. The optic enables me to shoot tighter groups at further distances at greater speed. The trigger is phenomenal, smooth and light pull. Just absolutely love the gun. I've never shot better with another pistol.
I bought one tonight, and it’s dead on accurate and awesome! I have two P229’s with SRT kits installed, but the Legion SAO is really nice.
This review largely convinced me to buy this gun (SAO) and I almost couldn't be happier - I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!
I love SAO pistols. Just bought the P229 Legion in SAO. Cannot wait to shoot it.
to update previous comments: i bought this gun last october 2015, i now have shot 9500 rounds aproximately, and not one fte, ftf, only two ftf, atributed to ammo. I use my own and new. this guns trigger is amazing, the sights are, and it just feels good. I shoot the gun in IDPA and USPSA, and polish the other guns I own. it is also an EDC, after dark. It is well worth the bucks. I have been selling off the rest of the stable. GET one, you will be glad you did
I purchased this gun the day before Christmas and I love it. I belong to an outdoor range so I haven’t gotten my first 500 yet because of weather but man I know firsthand what you’re saying is true. It’s very accurate and so far I’ve only shot junk Ammo except for one magazine of Sig Sauer Elite Performance JHP as a test. It’s the most accurate pistol I’ve got and I own a variety including the P238; P938 Legion; P320 Compact; P365XL; P365SAS; and the P2022 9mm. I also own a Sig 1911 XO 45ACP that I like so I’ve got experience shooting Sigs.
Finally I’ll second the notion about the trigger on this pistol. My range doesn’t allow double taps or speed shooting so I can vouch for the fact that’s it takes effort not to shoot the pistol fast.
This gun is a beast in respect I’m so glad I purchased it. I’m just sorry that in my state I can’t shoot it with 20 round magazines …which are illegal.
You and these videos are going to put me in the poor house. Next gun on my list. I have a SIGness you could say. Thanks for another great video!!!
I'm really interested in getting my hands on some of these SAO models. I have 5 Sigs, but it looks like it's certainly time to add to the family.
Hands down the best review on SIG Legion.
And I've seen them all !
Don't need another 9 mm in collection ,
but I've always wanted p226 .
This is the One !
+GuardDog 1911 Aw, thanks. P226 comes in a lot of variants - but this one is tops.
Justin Opinion I was thinking p229 legion in 357sig.....
Great video - love the extreme close-ups! Subscribed!
Great review! I bought the DA/SA p226 Legion late last year, and it quickly became my favorite handgun in my collection. Now if I could only figure out a way to easily conceal carry it... Looking forward the Guns America in-depth review!
Gorgeous piece of hardware you got there. Massively jealous (as I live in Australia...enough said)
I have about 600 rds through mine and I think I finally found the one, I was thinking about buying an STI 2011 and I'm glad I didn't. I went with the 226 legion sao and some 20 rdn mags and all I have to say WOW!, in my opinion one heck of combat handgun.
Okay darn it, I want one. :) Thanks for the enjoyable video.
Every gun guy owes it to him or her self to put aside some cash and get at least one super nice Sig. their an heirloom.
I cant wait for the P220 legion!
What a fantastic Sig. Thanks for sharing.
+Bill Blake Indeed it is. Thanks for watching!
I own this gun . It's incredible . Worth every dollar 💥💥💥 .
Looks like Sig upped their game. Nice gun, nice review!
You got a beauty. My son got the 226 Legion 9mm(DA/SA) and I shot it and fell in love.However having been in the Navy I just got the P226 mk25 and its real sweet itself. Thanks for this great video
Wow...what a beautiful pistol; a great add to the collection. I see the advantage of the SA for competition. My wife has the Elite so maybe I can finally get mine........
Enjoy your reviews!
I had one of the Navy models and it was probably my favorite gun to shoot except for a Night Hawk I had.
OK, so I finally finished the video(forced to eat dinner). There is no doubt, I WILL have one of these. Unbelievable! That thing sounded like a super cool typewriter when you were mag dumping it at the end. I cannot wait to get my hands on that puppy. Thanks for another great review, and drooling session.
I actually thought they would be a little more, I can't wait to get one.
Haha, birthing fluid...congrats to all the new dads out there!😎
Damn, you've got a sweet range to shoot at... I wish someone would open something like that in Central Florida. They'd make a ton of money. I'd pay whatever to shoot at such a nice range.
I just bought the Legion p226 SAO... haven't got to shoot it yet.
Awesome review and break in of this pistol. I purchased one and they are amazing 😎👍🏼
I’m very excited just found one of these used at a local store.
You know what, your channel is really costing me lots of money with the pistols I am buying cause of you😆
Haven't made a bad buy yet, many thanx
Cheer
+ruststar LOL - thanks. That is a very high compliment, and I am very pleased that you are satisfied with your choices!
Yes it's worth the extra money over a base p226 or p229.
The trigger is basically a custom trigger that you can set the travel on.
Grey Guns did the trigger and short of a nice 1911 it's the best trigger
I have ever fired
How in the name of Valhalla did I miss this vid! Thanks J.
+Michael StJohn Clearly an oversight. Don't let it happen again.
Justin Opinion sometimes I think they don't show up, wasn't the first time I waited months for a vid only to find it a few weeks after it was posted.
Michael StJohn
I have no doubt. TH-cam can be anything but predicable! You should go to my Facebook page and "Like" it - because I usually link to new vids there too. In fact, (looks around and whispers), I often preview them there before they are 'public'.
My Justin, gorgeous pistol. I own a P226 Legion SA/DA. Would've went with SAO but it wasn't in stock at the time of my purchase. No regret with mine. Wish I can own both. Great review. Only minor gripe is I wish the soft case came with a carry handle but I don't transport my Legion in it anyways.
+Aasillak Zyralius Haven't received the case yet, but it is on its way. I'll include that in the full review. I'd eventually like to add the DA/SA.
looks great!
+Jarhead6 Thanks - it's a sweetie.
That is sweet! Awesome trigger!
+72cmcinc Indeed.
Agree with everything that you said. Bought this a couple of months ago, over 1000 rounds. Best out of the box gun I've ever seen. Trigger, grip, sights all superb. Did I say that the trigger is superb? I now like it better than my Kimber 1911. It's true that it wants to be shot fast. Good thing it's 9mm instead of 45, otherwise I couldn't afford to shoot it. Favorite gun. Did I say how good the trigger is?
+Sam Brown Great comment, thanks. But you neglected to mention how good the trigger is.
@@JustinOpinionChannel But that trigger.
awesome gun. i LOVE mine! that guitar work at the beginning is awesome too! wish i knew who it was!
:)
Excellent photography! Shows product! Great audio! I just bought this one based on exclusively good videos. I have a variety of Sigs and the only loser was a P365 SAS. Of concern was whether the slide could be racked with the safety on which is of benefit when clearing the weapon if you don’t have good grip strength like some of us 80 year old guys. My P938 has this feature.
For those of us who unfortunately live in restricted 10 rd. mag states, Mec-Gar makes a great competition 10 rd. mag which can be found at GunMag. A bit pricey but high quality and IMHO worth the cost.
Ive been dying to get one of these. What kind of camera is that on your ear pro?
Sir,
You have impeccable taste in firearms!
I'm subscribing! Thanks for your posts!
How does this pistol stack up to
the Wilson combat Baretta 93G?
Which would you prefer for
Carry?
Also,
Do you find some ammo shoots
more accurately than others?
Thanks again man! 😎👍
I bought the P229 legion and I love it!! The only negative thing I can say about it is after shooting it 6 different times and cleaning it each time I can't get the factory oil smell out. As for as holster I'm running a safariland pro compact 578-283-411 This thing fits a lot of different guns. I use it from shield pps, glock 19, 229 legion, hk p30sk walther ppq 4 inch and the 5 inch. it fits a lot more too.
+Les0945 Thanks for the tip on the holster. Always good to have a couple of "universal" fit holsters.
What a dream gun.
you and I seem to shoot the same kind of guns in the same way - good or bad. Im fond of heavy guns rather than light guns. I like hole metal guns more than polymer guns. And I like hammer fired guns more than striker fired guns. A nother great video from you. Keep them coming ;-)
fantastic footage and content as usual. you have one of the best youtube channels! now that I've stroked your ego a bit, might I ask you to bring some more glock 21 content?
+Squib308 Thanks - and I agree, the G21 is due for more camera time!
Great video on the sao, can you tell me what the trigger pull is?
I would also like to see you shoot a mag of 5 different self defense loads
in different weights.
I own the p229 Legion in 357 sig sa/da and love the firearm.
I found I group best with Federal HST ammo.
I like sao flat trigger better and the p226 Legion is on my list in 9mm sao.
I'm going to try and find a buddy with one and give it a run, I must say
I like the second strike ability on my sa/da and am a bit hesitant …errr
why not just dive in I guess.
Thank you again for the excellent demo,
cheers
Recently picked up my first Sig, 226TacOps, I'm loving it. I didn't need to see this vid, thx a lot lol. Maybe another 226 will be heading my way.
+Elliott Butts There is always room for another. Just say you're buying it for the extra magazines that you can use in both!
That is a great idea! lol, Thx for the videos, you always do a great job. You still have that HK45?
Elliott Butts
I do - and keep wanting to get it back out. Soon....
Thanks for the fine review. I'm subscribing and will try to order a SAO. Never did like the DA/SA on Sigs.
Thanks much! Would love to hear your thoughts if you get one. I love it!
Awesome looking gun. I think I like the DA/SA better but it's hard to argue with that trigger!
+Hegshot87 It is, for sure. I tend to prefer the DA/SA also, but this SAO is a keeper! The trigger is just crazy good.
Nice! I'm going to get the same model. I already have a P220 SAO Match and I love it. The one thing that keeps getting my attention is, for years, gun writers made such a big deal about Sig using hollow (roll) pins. Then they piled on praise when Sig went to solid pins. Now, Sig has roll pins again and nobody mentions it. What is that all about. I personally don't care either way. But the gun mag writers sure won't be pointing this out, not for a newly arriving series of pistols anyway.
Still, I'm getting one...
+froggymann65 Well, we all need something to write about - but seriously the only real advantage (IMO) to the solid roll pins is that they don't get deformed and can be reused indefinitely (in theory). Even with the proper punch, the roll pins can get deformed and must be replaced. Some purists will say always replace them anyway.
Have you noticed any “polishing” of the slide or frame after all your use? There is so much out there about excessive wear on the PVD finish, but don’t know who to trust. Trust you, so if you say there isn’t excessive wear (cosmetically) from use, I’ll get one. If there is, does your P226 Extreme’s finish appear more durable? Thanks!
I bought the 229 version and love it!
Kyle Wood cuáles son las seis shower que vienen de Alemania
Kyle Wood Me gustaría saber cuáles son las si shower que son de Alemania
Another great revue, on another great pistol. Justin I was wondering, after you've had a gun for a while do you sell/trade in to get the next one? Or do you keep most of them?
Nice pistol and you're really good.
Do you think the flat trigger of the Sao adds any benefit Compared to the da/sa shape trigger?
Sweet.
I own the Sig Sauer P-226 Legion SA/DA. They value the bag, that they give you at $60. It's got plenty of plenty places for you pistol magazines. This is my first weapon, but I want another weapon, but with ammunition shortage, I'm just not sure what to do. I also bought a AR-15 from Sig Sauer at same time, that I bought my P-226 Legion. By the way, it's a heavy weapon to carry, because I openly carry it, as much as I can.
Beautiful gun.
That was satisfying. Even though I don't smoke, I feel the need for a cigarette after watching this video.
What a fantastic pistol, fun to shoot, accurate... That high def camera just teases us with The Legion's sexy lines. My ole German made P220 watched this with me and wants me to sign him up for a "make over".
+pinkiewerewolf LOL. Soft gun porn... that's what we're about.
Looks to me like it (and you) shoots everything great.
You definitely took longer to aim with the Sig ammo than the Remington.
I went to shoot the this gun this weekend and I loved it. Trying to find one in a .40 caliber is like looking for a virgin in their 30s.
good review!
Thanks much.
Beautiful. Love the manual safety and 1911 manual of arms. Only thing I'd change would be to put some Sig Scorpion 226 G10 style grips on it, or the OD green color just to give it my own touch
+Jared Bush Yeah, if you run a 1911 there is no real difference here. The safeties are nicely sized and perfectly located. I have a P226 with the piranha G10 grips, but these are better. You gotta feel 'em!!
+Justin Opinion Yea it's definitely on my dream pistol list. I must say this Legion is starting to take the edge in my ideal go to war pistol over the new Beretta A3 but not quite lol. Sig has definitely uped their game. I have the Sig 2022 in FDE it's the best $500 I've spent on a gun especially with the night sights and holster. Lastly I can tell your not a budget gun kinda guy but you owe it to yourself to try a Taurus pt111 G2. I've had two with 500+ rds through both without a single bobble. Took a concealed carry class in March with it and was beyond proud of it especially for $250. You will not be disappointed
I have a DA/SA of this gun with an optic from the factory. I cannot put my finger on it but somehow I cannot warm up to it. How much difference if any in feel and shooting etc. do you think a SAO version would make compared to a DA/SA?
i'll be getting a legion most likely the sao. ive handled the regular 226 legion and even though the trigger is nice, in this price range i want something really special and the sao is definately that. and i love how all the hardcore sig guys and even sig themselves were all about greasing and how if you weren't greasing your sigs you were an idiot and now all of a sudden...lucas OIL packed in with the legions lol
Sig still recommends greasing the rails haha but you're so right.
Impossible to shoot slow. My indoor range has a stupid rule of 3 seconds in between shots - thought I was gonna get yelled at today. Love this Sig, but going through some ammo.
Great gun
I can’t be sure but it seems like the safety could dig into your hand/knuckle, unless you put your thumb on top of it, which it’s not quite wide enough to accommodate. I like the trigger but would like to know if the safety is bothersome
shes a beauty..
As a Sig Guy and a 1911 Guy..... I think my next Sig has arrived! Thanks for the Excellent Video, I will start saving up for this in June 2016. What was the price for this Example of Fine Sig Hardware? Looks like you are off to a great Summer Shooting Season! Beretta Sr.
+BERETTA9mmUSA This pistol is flat out amazing. You should be able to find them in the $1100-1200 range unless demand increases. Problem is really finding them at all, especially the SAO. Took me a long time to get this one. I am hoping to have a full summer of shooting, and I hope you are too. Looking forward to more from you!
I am thinking about buying 2 or 3 Sigs in 2020! This may be one of them. Do you still Love this Pistol Justin?? I value your feedback on this pistol my friend. 🇺🇸🤗🥳😎👍. Beretta Sr.
I just mentioned this pistol to a friend at the range today, when discussing "best triggers ever". This is still one of my short-list-favorites. In fact, I'm planning some fresh range time and video project with it soon.
Justin Opinion That sounds great Sir! I look forward to it as always. Have a terrific Sunday. Beretta Sr. :)
@@BERETTA9mmUSA
Did you ever get any sig pistols
Justin, I take that is the setup you would suggest in getting this gun in ?(9mm SAO) Do you think their DA/SA again in 9mm would be as satisfying to shoot ? Personally, when i first saw this gun I just thought it should be owned in 357 Sig period. It just screams 357 Sig to me, which of course you're relegated to the DA/SA setup. Thanks again for your time and efforts.
+Bill Blake I would love to also add a DA/SA to the fold, so I'm not especially biased to the SAO. The action types are significantly different so that a direct comparison of the shooting experience is really hard to do. I believe the DA/SA models also have the SRT which to me is a must have. Agree .357 SIG would be fun, as would .40 S&W.
Very nice gun...
How many times did you clean and lube the pistol from brand new to 400 rounds? When was the first time you cleaned and lubed it?
Your safety manipulation is impressive. You're a better man than I!
It's all done with smoke and mirrors!! ;-) Thanks, man.
Legions are nice, but I'm happy with my P227 and P226 with the E2 grips.
+Scott Smith I love the E2 grips.
In your opinion, do you feel this is a realistic edc iwb or just straight up to big?? I'm 6'4 260 so the weight isn't really a factor, I'm just concerned about concealabilty.. thanks for your opinion and killer videos.
I'm 6'8" 290 and I've carried my P227 in an appendix holster just fine. It's all about a good gun belt and the right holster. With those 2 elements plus adjusting what clothes you wear it will work. Plus most people have their head up their own hindend a little bulge wont be an issue
I have to stop watching your videos, it is killing my wallet! I couldn't even wait to watch the whole video before commenting. That pistol is gorgeous! I'm still fondling the P229C SAS you FORCED me to buy, lol. I just have to get my grubby hands on one of these, now back to our regularly scheduled programming.
+fumasterchu12 Ah... you have fallen under my spell... Yeah, this is one where you tell the clerk at the counter, "let me see that Legion.... and give me a 4473..."
Yeah, I have no doubt. That trigger looks amazing and the sights also look great.
I was utubing SAO but this wasn't what I was looking for
nice
I'm left handed and I worry about the placement of the slide lock. It was very awkward when I tried the DA/SA version in the local shop.
any tips on choosing between DA/SA and SAO? only thing i am worried about is it safe to carry is cocked/locked inside the waist belt?
Train to get the safety off every time the gun is presented, and keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target and you've made the decision to fire...you'll be fine. SAO is SIGnificantly easier to shoot than DA/SA.
I've carried a cocked/locked Sig SAO or Springfield EMP everyday of several years now. Just work on clicking off the slide safety once the barrel has cleared the holster and keep your booger hook off the bang switch till you're ready to fire and you'll be just fine,good luck.
Damn,I should have read the guys comment above mine,he basically said the same sh*t !
the sao operates like a 1911, but, the safety when on blocks the trigger, slide can be used, chamber check and mag check with safety on, very comforting
thumbs up I want a legion not sure if I should go with SAO or standard
If you are intending to use the SAO pistol for competition, it will put you in a higher division than the double action/single action variant. You’ll need to decide which system will work better for your needs
Is the SAO really that much better than a da sa 226? I like the simplicity of a da sa 226. SA isn't bad at all on a reg 226.
I am tempted to look into buying a legion pistol but I have a question. a BIG question.....Is it worth the extra money over the standard Sig?
That is subjective, of course - but I think it is if you're a "gun guy". If you're new to shooting or are not an avid enthusiast then probably not. Like buying the BMW M3 - worth every penny if you're a car guy, but if you just want to get to work and back, the regular 3 Series will do just fine.
Help guys/gals: Sig legion da/sa or Beretta Langdon rdo? Thanks
would you consider this pistol to be a able to fill the role of a combat handgun? I have an HK P30L and I'm thinking about selling it to get this.
+Richard Yi Absolutely. But wondering if you might want to consider the DA/SA version which would be a more similar transition. "Cocked and Locked" SAO pistols are not for everyone. That said - I'm at a loss to name a better handgun.
+Justin Opinion I see. the transition shouldn't be difficult for since I carry my p30l cocked and locked
(my version has a safety.) I handled one of the sao legion p226s at a gun show, and while I loved the trigger, and could definitely see this as a competition gun and range toy, I was concerned that the changes they had to do to the internals to make it SAO would interfere with the reliability of the gun. thank you for debunking my suspicions.
+Richard Yi I've seen nothing so far with just under 500 rounds to make me feel this is anything but a true SIG with a prettier face. But I am just beginning work soon on a more detailed review for GunsAmerica and will double that round count. By then I know I will have a chance to further indicate its reliability.
The P226 and P229 look very similar!! Not sure what the difference are??
I love mine my fav pistol
I heard the trigger on that bad boy is great
Jay Rod wepa!
The Silent Patriot
No Doubt about it
Justin could you make a Sig 320 compact vs Sig 226 video?
How does the SIG 226 Legion SAO trigger compare to a 1911 trigger? Better?
Both are very smooth but completely different. For target 1911, for anything else p226.
Not a SAO fan. Glad my Legion is DA/SA. If I want a safety, I’ll buy an1911
Great video, great weapon. I have had one of these for about a year but do not have a holster for it yet. Would like to hear what holsters people are using even ones that have been modified for the ambi-safety.
Really trying to decide between this and the CZ Shadow 2
Save up and get both! I have the Sig SAO Legion, and am looking at buying the CZ Shadow 2 too
I have bought and they are great firearms.
Anybody know when the p220 legion is gonna be available??? I'm really wanting a new 220 and I like the legion features.
I've heard conflicting stories from SIG. Pretty sure I'll be the last to know! ;-)
i have info that the da/sa is march or april 2017, sao to follow in summer
Mike Gardner Awesome. Good to hear, thanks!
john jones Ya p220 legion in Sao. Probably my next gun
john jones the 220 Legion is now available.
All they need now is some we the people grips
I was so excited when I brought my Sigg legion home and opened the box that I used lubricant to jack it with!
Anybody know when the p220 legion will be out?
"Birthing fluid"...haha, classic!
Did you get it used, because I thought you get a coin with all legion pistols
The challenge coin and molded case are shipped to you after you register the warranty. I shot the initial stuff before I had received it.
