Sig Legion P220 in 10MM
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ต.ค. 2024
- We shoot the powerful 10mm from Sig Sauer. I've been a fan of the Sig Legion pistols and own both the DA/SA and a SAO 9mm versions. The 10mm is definitely "snappy" but controllable.
For those looking for a 10mm the P220 might just be the right pistol for you!
Here the marketing pitch from the Sig Website:
The P220 Legion is an enhanced version of the gun that started it all for modern day SIG. Finished in a proprietary Legion gray coating and featuring custom G-10 grips with a Legion medallion, the P220 Legion is improved in nearly every way. The stainless-steel slide sports SIG SAUER Electro-Optics X-RAY high visibility day/night sights as well as front cocking serrations that provide greater purchase for cycling the action, clearing the firearm or conducting press checks.
The P220 in DA/SA includes a reduced and contoured Elite beavertail, which allows for a higher grip and a reduced profile, thus eliminating printing. More aggressive front strap checkering and additional checkering under the trigger guard enhance the grip. An X-Five undercut has been applied to the trigger guard, allowing for a higher grip and greater control. The P220 Legion also features low-profile decocking and slide-catch levers to reduce the risk of snagging. An enhanced polished action with the SRT (Short-Reset Trigger) is augmented with a Grayguns, Inc. designed P-SAIT trigger. In addition, a solid steel guide rod adds weight where it matters most. The P220 Legion ships with three 8-round magazines.
I have this gun and by far IMO it’s the best looking most aesthetically pleasing Pistol I’ve owned. I love it! Great emergency woods backup gun. I carry 220 grain underwood hardcast going 1200. Eight of those should get a black bears attention…
It's very cool for sure. Thanks for watching. Hope you'll subscribe.
This things a monster, I got some Underwood 165gr going like 1400.....I don't think there's anything in north America this thing wouldn't stop
Wow, impressive velocity!
Thanks for another one of your videos.
10mm Auto is my favorite pistol cartridge.
The SIG Sauer P220 Legion 10mm Auto 5" DA/SA you feature here is my all-time favorite 10mm Auto pistol, and that despite its mere 8+1 round capacity. IMHO, its a work of art. If only I could swing the $1600 price tag without my wife shooting me with it.
I love the SS P22O, P226, and P229 designs. They're all instant classics in my book.
Good things! 👍
Many thanks for commenting and watching. This particular 10 mm pistol is really special!

I've already been one of your subscribers for a while. You do a good job.
Good things! 👍
... I've had one for a few years, always a crowd pleaser. When I let friends fire it I have to do two things, one: I have to get the Jaws of Life to pry the pistol from their hands and two: I have to get ahold of a plastic surgeon to get that perceptual smile off of their face ! ...
I hear you... a big smile for sure.
I just bought one of these bad boys last night. I am STOKED and can't wait to get it out to the range.
The legions don't have a "stock defensive" type trigger though, they're tuned by GrayGuns.
Don't know if you got a lemon or what, but the legion triggers are known for being pretty good.
Interesting. The P226 DA/SA Legion I purchased has the curved trigger and is not anything special. The same pistol with the SAO trigger has a Gray Guns 90 degree trigger. Neither of these triggers feel tuned or special. They are "pretty good" but not much more than that. Yes, they are better than my stock P226 but not my much.
FYI, I hand picked the SAO Legion at the Sig Academy pro shop. I've shot other Legion pistols and they all feel like good factory triggers. But no way these pistols had been worked on by Gray Guns.

Great trail gun with that hard hitting chambering.
Agree with you. Thanks, John.
Awesome video. Would you happen to know the new upgrades for the SIG 10mm p220 legion. I know there putting an optic cut in I was told there would be a few more upgrades to that pistol. Any information would be helpful. Thank you
Sir, unfortunately I don’t have any specific details of upgrades to the 10 mm pistol. Best bet would be to reach out to Six directly and inquire. Thanks for watching and commenting I hope you will subscribe to the channel.
Good shooting, good video, you mentioned "a handicap", what handicap? I must have missed it. Do you still like the P220 10mm? I'm thinking about getting one, thanks for the sharing!
Just saw your Sig P938 video, more good shooting and this time I did notice your handicap, you seem to do very well with it, I would say you shoot better than some without a handicap! I have the P938 and I really like it, a good summer, pocket carry pistol! Thanks for sharing!
Sir, thank you so much for watching and commenting. My handicap is what it is. The whole point is training, practice, and overcoming whatever is a challenge to us. I will never be a great, amazing shooter that everyone looks to, but I hope to continue to always be a student of the Gun.
I really appreciate you commenting and watching and hope you will subscribe and share the channel with friends and family.
Nice review!
Thanks for watching
I like the option of single and double action
Cool. It's all about training. I always train Dof the double action press versus more on a DA/SA semi-autos. Mastering a DA trigger and the transition from DA to SA is what matters.

Anyone who defends DA/SA guns that don't have decockers is wrong. Good video!
Thanks for commenting
Some of us view DA as a defect, not an asset. The only DA/SA guns I have owned, or will own, have a safety that allows me to carry them cocked and locked. I converted my CZ to SAO in the process of "Cajunizing" it without ever firing a single round double action and literally never fired a single round through my HK in double action despite owning it for over two decades. For some of us, a proper safety is simpler and safer than two different trigger pulls on one gun. A decocker isn't necessary if it has a safety that allows the detrimental DA defect to be largely bypassed and ignored.
@@MTMILITIAMAN7.62 It's your right to be wrong.
@@Totemparadox I'm not wrong, though. In this case, it is my right to be right. You really sound like you're trying to convince me to use your preferred pronouns...
@@MTMILITIAMAN7.62 I am actually. My pronouns are Your/Majesty.
How far was your paper target????
This is a fine pistol. 7 yards was the distance.
I have wanted a Legion since they came out. The 10mm is absolutely the top caliber. When Sig comes back around to the P227 and chambers the 10mm in it with 12-15 rounds I will make this aspiration a reality. But what a fine firearm.
Thanks for commenting and watching.
10mm is best mm
I never much cared for the SS P227 45 ACP full size pistol. Why only a 10+1 capacity, when all of its similarly sized competitors are 13+1 capacity?
Was it their intention to sell it only in Californicstan and the People's Republic of New Jersey?
SIG Sauer gave away a lot of sales due to that limited capacity.
@@jpg_sig10 Absolutely agree. I am one of them & a couple other family & friends did the same. S&W, CZ lost to Glock with them because the capacity was too little of an increase over a 1911.
@guardianminifarm8005
My old SA XDm 45 ACP 4.5" and my old Gen3 Glock 21SF both had 13+1 round capacities. In every way except one, I preferred the XDm over the Glock - I shot the Glock better.
Good things! 👍
Would be cool. But the price here in Germany is about 2750€. Autsch.... And the SAO-version isn´t available.
Yikes!

Would you be able to confirm, and tell us if, the P220 Legion in 10MM has a Steel Frame? Different web sights, quote different specs. Some say Stainless slide and Alloy frame weight of 30oz. but some say Stainless slide and steel frame weight of 41oz? Just wondering if they mix up the specs with the Sig P220 45 legion with a 4.4" barrel. Just need to know.
Best best to to call SIG or got to their website. Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope you'll subscribe and check out some of the content on our channel.
I have this exact gun and I was obsessed with it therefore doing tons of research prior to the buy. Yes this gun has an all steel frame which is different from most SigSauer which have an alloy lower. This gun also is a little bit over built with the components which is a good thing compared to other SIGs because it’s firing a 10 mil. It’s 44 ounces.
45 legion has an alloy frame, but the 10mm is steel.
Late response I just bought one, I put a magnet to it to check its steel. Have not shot it yet can't wait
Stainless frame
Good stuff
Appreciate it
Not understanding why lowering the hammer is such an issue or are you referring to the single action only? In that case why would you lower it? It’s designed to stay locked to the rear.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
There is no issue lowering the Hammer provided the user knows what they’re doing. However, i’ve seen several negligent discharges when people are in a hurry to lower the hammer. And or lack training. I’ve seen this happen and it’s usually because of operator error.
Assuming someone is using a single action only pistol then the safety is always engaged if the hammer is cocked. With a double action/single action design, once the first round is fired the pistol is in single action. Since there is no external safety on this particular firearm the application of a decocking mechanism has many benefits.
Personally I prefer the Sig designs are single action only. However, many others prefer a double action/single action pistol.
Whatever the user selects they should be dedicated to learning the manual of arms associated with that firearm.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope you will subscribe to the channel.
On the SS P220 series DA/SA pistols (and others), if you don't decock the hammer, you're running around cocked-and-unlocked, with a very short light "hair" trigger. Not an especially safe thing.
The Decocker is a great thing... Train, Train, Train. As Retired L/E I used it several times after a situation was de-escalated.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I agree with you. I prefer to have a decocking mechanism on any double/single action pistol like this. Otherwise the user is trying to lower the Hammer under a potentially stressful situation.
I hope you will consider subscribing to the channel.
@@GunsGearOnTargetTrainingLLC I just did.
sig de-cocker is the best... always sig...
I agree the Sig de-cocker works well and is preferable to manually lowering the hammer, especially in high stress situations.
Thanks for sharing - still trying to fine this in 45
They're out there...
You won’t, this has a steel frame.
I love my Rock Island Armory Pro Match Ultra 10mm with a 6-inch barrel and a double stack 16 round magazine!
The RRA looks like a nice pistol.
@@GunsGearOnTargetTrainingLLC I love mine...
In a completely platonic, asexual way of course... LOL
Is this a new model ? I had no idea the 220 came in 10mm though it was 9mm and 45
I don't believe it is a new model.
It's not new, it's just a higher end P220
not too sure how comfortable I'd be relying on a 10mm for brown bear defense. If you've seen a brown bear up close i think you'd change your mind on the 10mm being enough. 44 mag at very least. Of course people say Alaskan Police rely on 10mm for polar bears, but I'm sure there is more to that story.
10mm will take out a bear easily. Especially those that are made to penetrate.
Alaska State Troopers carry the Glock 22 in .40 S&W. 🤷♂️
Thanks for your perspective.
@@good-vibes-4u Not enough 😕
A few rounds of Underwood/Buffalo Bore 10mm are beyond more than enough to stop a brown bear.
don't blame trigger old man :-)
You were 100% correct. My poor performance with the double action pistol is a result of not practicing with it. The results got better as I got used to that heavier trigger pull.
That being said, I’m humble enough to acknowledge the performance was on me!
As always, thanks for watching and commenting.
Love my 220 in .45, and Massachusetts won’t let us have the 220 in 10mm.
One reason I will never live in MA. That state seems to treat it's citizens as suspects and criminals, and criminal as victims.
That's any democrat run state
I have seen 10mm legions for sale in massachusetts...
😂massholes

People always say that 10mm is best mm, but deep down we all know 8mm Mauser is best mm.
A long gun like the 8mm would be preferable for defense against large bear. Thanks for watching.
The anti-PCP addict gun
Thanks for watching and commenting. Stay safe.
I agree decocker for me is a no brainer for a slightly worse DA trigger pull who cares
Thank you for watching and commenting.
I do think Sig makes fine double action pistols like this one.

It's a great round but I'm tired of people recommending it for bear protection. Rifles and shotguns are for bear protection. If you can't have that then a 44 mag is the lowest you should go imo.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I agree a larger, caliber, centerfire, rifle or shotgun would be my preference. However, I know people who regularly carry a 10 mm for large animals, and at least two more views than successfully defend themselves against a bear.
I appreciate you commenting and making the important points you did. Hope you will consider subscribing to the channel.
A well-placed shot or shots with Underwood 10mm Auto 220 Gr FN HCL and/or 200 Gr FN HCL will do the job defending against a black bear attack, and even a grizzly bear attack. It's all up to the shooter to do his/her part.
If the shooter can't do their part, not even a .50 BMG will stop that attacking bruin in time.
Where I live and bike / hike / camp, in southern Arizona, a good full sized semi-auto pistol loaded with 17 to 20 rounds of 10mm Auto 200 Gr FN HCL will nicely take down black bear, mountain lion, and, yes, even jaguar, plus smaller critters. It's much easier to handle, shoot fast and accurately, and affords much higher capacity than a .44 Magnum revolver.
Good things! 👍

Nice double action press is an oxymoron.
