Picked the firearm up yesterday.
The BEST handgun purchase I’ve ever made.
The 90s era service pistols, in terms of go to war pistols, are irreplaceable. The USP, G17, M92, and 226 are the pinnacle of GTW for me.
Are you going to war anytime soon?
@@JustMe-999a What has that to do with anything?
Great list, don't forget CZ75.
@@elcidcampeador9629 Ya... TBH, I was thinking that in ANY sort of SHTF scenario, no matter how minor or domestic, who WOULDN'T want a firearm that was known as something to "go to war equipped with"? Lol

The 226 is definitely one of the best pistols on the market in my opinion. Special edition or not.
They are not cheap but they are worth it I purchased the 226 in the MK 25 version. It is extremely accurate and has never failed. Sigg makes beautiful 20 round magazines for it. They only extend slightly and it helps you get a hold of the mag to grip it. When you’re shooting this gun you feel fantastic because there’s nothing you can’t hit.
@@stevenlefebvre2991 If you keep your eyes open, you can find some great deals on them, especially used. CDNN was blowing out some 226 and 229 in .40 & .357 that were factory refurbished E2 models with rail for $500 and look new.
Yes they are amazing I have 2, one is in 40 S&W DAK and the other is in 9mm SA/DA The 40 is a police trade in I only paid $349 and the 9mm was another police trade in and is a West German Sig only paid $500 sweet shooting guns even in used condition all they needed was some cleaning a little slight holster but like like brand new

@@DinoNucci yes
That gun is the sniper rifle of pistols... I own one and its hands down my favorite.
At 10m with the reticle, I can literally see the hole open up in the target right behind the red dot before the recoil takes my hand.
It's phenomenal.
Love how you mic your videos. I can hear the trigger break, the reset, and the pop of the cartridge is so satisfying.
I have the P229 Legion SAO.. and it is honestly like a beautiful 1911 style pistol and reliable 100% ! What a fantastic CCW weapon.. I trust my life with this SIG.. SEMPER FI. 🫡🇺🇸
The 226 Legion is my EDC and shoots like a dream. I wouldn't change a thing about it.
Never had a malfunction with over 2000 rounds of a variety of 9mm ammo.
The weight is no problem and mitigates the recoil to keep me on target for follow up shots. Definitely a kickass handgun that I not only love carrying but also sell a lot of where I work at one of Dallas's biggest firearm stores.
I’m really not sure which variant should I buy, the double action with a curved trigger or SAO with a flat trigger.

I have the SIG P226 LEGION SAO - Bought it when it was first available here. Think I paid roughly $1100. for it - Had it been $1500, it would Still be one of my Favorite Guns! 👌🤠

Got my P229 Legion 9mm for$1175.00 around three years ago. It's my EDC most of the time.
The 226 was my service gun for 20 years in NYPD; never a miss feed or any malfunctions to this date. All the guns I own are Sig; my off duty is the 239; when I moved to Florida, I picked up the P239 380 for pocket carry, not a problem with any since purchased.
The SIG P239 was never produced in .380
@@chrisragone8785 likely he meant the P238 SAO and I'd rather have the P239 or a P365.
I'm a long time pistol enthusiast. My problem is I like alot of pistols. However, of all that I've owned and do own, the P226/ P229 are two of my favorites. Absolute masterpiece. Additionally super fun to shoot. Yes, the "price of admission" is stout but, imo, worth every penny. If you spend any time with one, get your pocket book out. Awesomeness defined!!
Agreed. Go Tigers!
I love the P226/P229. My P226 is reliable, durable, grip texture is great, and the trigger is one of the best. You are right that it's super fun to shoot. You go through so much ammo quickly if you aren't paying attention. If Sig ever makes a model with a lower bore axis (maybe a modern version of the Sig P210 with all the features of the P226), it would be the perfect pistol to me. Even with a lot of training (I probably shoot my Sig P226 and Walther PPQ the most out of all of my guns), I still can't do as well with those as I could with my gen 3 Glock 19.
@@JacksonWalter735 I never criticism a person's preference for a firearm. Glock has never been a pistol liked. Not that it's not a great pistol but never could adjust to the grip angle. Love the PPQ though. I am forth coming admitting I'm a Sig and CZ fan! Thanks for your comments!!
I agree I have the P229 and P220 and by far are my favorite pistols.
The real cost of admission now is the cost of ammo. I know golfers that spend spend a hundred dollars a week on range fees and balls. They to save a hundred dollars on the clubs they’ll use for years. Same with gun owners. SMH.
Carried a 226 40 cal on duty for several years and loved it. Never malfunctioned.
how many people did you body with it brehhhhh
When I purchased my P227 (45 ACP) I felt a little guilty about paying that much for a side arm. Then I took it to the range, wow, worth every penny. SIG rocks.
Had mine 30 years and it's my home defense with zero issues in field conditions. Minnesota winters even.
First gun I ever got was a P226. Never getting sold. I primarily shoot Glocks, but God is it nice to just take out to the range and shoot every once in a while. Badass gun.
and for HK usp expert do you have any expereince ? which is the best for range shooting ?
@@karansabz Never had a USP, but had an HK. Preferred the P226 over the HK, though that could be a caliber thing. I'd love to shoot a full size USP in 9mm to see how it is.
Do you recommend it forba very very very First gun?
@@aymanjoudar5425 if you can afford it yes
That is my intent, G Lock for hime Dee and the Bad Ass once for range days and Binding w Like-minded pew pew lovers!
My 226 is the ever. 9000 plus rounds with no stoppages what so ever. . My favorite of all time. The king
That awesome wow 9k rounds. Did you have to replace any parts throughout this time due to normal wear?
Sig P226 was my first semi-auto for a reason. I picked it up and the way it fit my hand ....... it's still one of the only pistols that feels that good in the hand. I absolutely love this gun.
It is really important for a gun to fit your hand. Kinda like buying a good pair of shoes. The p238 fit my hand really good and I did try Glock,smith and Wesson and Ruger . Love my sig. went to pickup more ammo and told the woman that sold it to me that I thought it was an angry little bastard. She Carrie’s the same 380.
The most natural fitting guns i've shot are the 226, BHP, and CZ75. 1911 has very natural angle too but it doesn't fill my hand as much. Glock, Smith, M9, don't feel as natural to me.
I don’t have a legion yet but I do love my West German P226. My favorite at the moment is my p229. Sig fan boy for sure.
My dad's 229 is always top of my list for him to bring to our twice yearly range days. Funny enough he's more accurate with my 365 so he wants to trade. I'm considering it.
@@pxjydz303 I would also like a p365 but I’m stuck in commiefornia so I’m not “allowed” to own one. I did find a great deal on a Glock 43 that will get me buy till I make it to a free state. The 229 and 365 are both superb firearms but I’m definitely bias towards sig.

I have an older Elite series 226. It's almost the same gun, and can be found for a much lower price. You won't get any red dot cut out, and the sights aren't as good, but the rest of the gun is all there.
Agreed my 226 stainless enhanced elite shoot great for an "all steel" gun lol
I have one as well and love it. Id put.
Me too. I just bought an elite “stainless” p229 the other day, with the wooden grips. I shot that side by side a rented p226 and p229. I love the modern legion versions too, which I’m familiar with as I own the p220 legion.
For me main difference between the elite and the legion are the sights,(I prefer the modern sig sights), and the slide release. My thumb apparently hits the bigger one on the elite, at times negating the last round bolt hold open. On the legions they are smaller to help stop that I suppose. Now, I can simply place my thumb slightly away from the slide release now that I know what’s going on. Also the legion g10 grip texture is amazing. But while actually shooting, hard to tell the difference.
At the end, I may add the legion p226 or p229. All the p200 series guns are unbelievable guns. The way they feel when shooting.
Got the 229 Enhanced Elite in black and it’s still one of my favorites. No optic cut but shoots so smooth. Awesome content! Thanks for the great review.
Thanks for demonstrating that sometimes newer isn’t always better. Was considering the P320 AXG, but this pistol is likewise an all metal pistol with an enhanced trigger and optics ready features for the same price. Curious if anyone has shot the Sig Sauer 225-A2. It’s like a mini legion with a Short Reset Trigger. Recoil is very soft, yet reliable and very accurate.
I have the 229 RXP which is also my favorite gun. It’s a laser beam just like you said Chris and while it’s a $1500 to $1600 gun, you can’t do much better in a carry gun IMO. Excellent review as always and I’m so glad to see you and Mrs Outlaw enjoying the success you both deserve
had this gun. sold it during covid.. wanted to help out a friend.. just finally purchased it again.. this is by far my most favorite gun / well pistol. thanks .. well done.
I just bought P226 Legion RXP DA/SA as the 1st gun in my life. Looks like I made a good choice 😁
Good review. I recently acquired a Legion P229 with a Romeo One red dot and I love it. The only problem with it is when I squeeze the trigger with the safety on. If I don't let go of the trigger, then bring the safety down, the safety goes back on when I release the trigger. That's the only gun that does that (of mine) and I have a lot of thumb safeties on guns. The red dot took some getting used to. After I learned it, I couldn't miss with the darned thing. 15 rounds into a three inch circle at 10 yards as fast as my local range would allow me to pull the trigger (1 per second). And I agree with you that this is the best gun Sig ever made.
The 226 Legion SAO is one of my favorite pistols - period. Thanks for the video!
I would enjoy a head to head competition and review of equivalent CZ75, Beretta M9, and the Legion 226
Yes please just thinking the same thing
I can’t believe this gun popped up in this video haha!! .... A good friend of mine has this exact gun and set up, and he took it to the range with us about 2 months ago... He let me put 100 rounds of 9mm 147gr Speer range ammo through it... Dude I was absolutely impressed 👍... it has the short reset flat trigger in it and it is awesome by anyone’s measurement... I am actually thinking about getting one of these, if I can find one in the same configuration as his/ this one, instead of buying my next 1911... I have wanted a SA TRP for so long, and it’s taken me such a long time to save due to the covid crunch, but after handling and shooting the Sig it now has me up at night thinking about which way to go... I know, first world problems, but I’ve been saving for so long, and it will be a long time from what I can foresee, until I can save this amount again for a new gun purchase... I’m torn because I’ll need a bunch of mags for the Sig which is more money I’ll have to put into it, where as I have TONS of 1911 mags.... Shit..... What would Gun Ginger do in this case I wonder???
This was seriously the best review I've watched on TH-cam
Honest Outlaw is my go to reviewer of firearms. He is clearly skilled as a shooter, and does not get deep in the weeds of the internal workings beyond what an owner needs to grasp for durability, reliability, accuracy and yes, even economy. I only worry that one day he might poke a hole in one of those grain silos a mile past his range when he reviews a crappy AR.
I’ve had this firearm for nearly 8 months, the smoothest trigger I have EVER felt on a pistol, it makes the gun. Gander Mtn. Was going out of business and I walked out of the store with a brand new Legion series for 700$...
WOW! Talk about getting lucky.
Nice 👍🙂
I won mine at an auction for $530. 🙂
@@9gagerofl How do you like it so far?
@@gregorywebster6640 its definitely the nicest production pistol i own. If I could change one or two things it would definitely be trigger oriented. Less take up in single action, and decrease poundage from 4 to 3.5…
Beyond that, the pistol is imo near perfection
Before priced went insane, I found a new Sig p226 Nitron for $550, and I have to say it is quickly becoming one of my favorite pistols.
Picked up an old West German made in 88 WITH ammo for 650. Pretty good condition with very little wear.
I've the same but 50$ more, $600. The P226 nitron. That's the base model correct?
My first handgun was an old P220. I ended up trading it for a Glock 11 years ago. Planning on picking up a new full size 9mm this coming spring and I'm glad to see they've fully brought the P226 into the modern age with an optic cut, SIG threaded barrel and SIG 20 round mags. Definitely planning on picking one of these up!
Just bought this exact model as my first gun ever, now I'm super excited to shoot it! Of course living in NJ it is taking forever to get all my paperwork filed lol. Thanks for the awesome review!
Dude. You did it again. I watched this video and then I went and bought a new P226 Legion just like in the video, even with the Romeo.
100% agree! , “It is the best sig (pistol) ever made.” I have had sig mk25, sig p226 elite, and the sao legion and without a doubt prefer the SAO! The consistent trigger pull and the safety as a gas pedal like you referenced are my favorite things about it! I have big hands and always would ride the slide stop and not get the slide to stay back on empty. I tried multiple grips, but when this came out, boom! I used to shoot about 1,000 rounds a week through the p226’s for about 6 years and if all the pistols in the world were free I would choose this one ☝️. Great review!
Great review , I’ve got the p226 legion SAO without the red dot and also the Legion X5. I prefer the p226 over the X5 , trigger is much better and also feels better in the hands for me.
Just bought this gun in SOA Legion without the Romeo Optic and I absolutely love it and my wife has the Legion 320 x5... love the 226 more.
That’s awesome, I have a mk 25 coming down the pipe in the next few weeks, pre - order, my first sig owned. DA/SA I prefer for safety measures..
My 229 Legion RXP is my favorite pistol. High bore axis might exist but the way people lean on it like it’s a huge hinderance is a little much. It’s a quarter inch difference between this and a Glock 19 in terms of bore axis, not enough to have any real impact on how it responds to muzzle flip, put it 6” over where it is and now you’re going to see a difference but the quarter inch difference is almost nonexistent. That said Chris, you always do a great job and I appreciate your reviews and have purchased several pew pews based on your recommendations and have not regretted it save for maybe the Shield Plus that you raved about that I don’t think is all that nice a pistol. It does what it’s supposed to but overall it is lacking behind competitors in its class in my humble opinion. Still, the other 8 or nine guns I’ve bought after Outlaw reviews are spot on and gun performance is really subjective so what works well for one might not work well for another. Keep up the great work Chris, love your vids man
The Sig P226 Legion SAO is by far my favorite. The fit and feel in hand is better than my Wilson Combat EDC-X9, which is "now" my second choice to carry. The trigger pull and reset is exceptional. Accuracy along with follow-up shots are easy to achieve with this Sig because of the weight and trigger pull. Definitely worth the extra price for what you get.
Damn that’s quite a statement with that comparison with Wilson combat. I’ve only held a WC, not actually shot one. But yes these sigs have simply unbelievable triggers and a certain feel when shooting.
I only have a Sig SP2022 that I bought for $350 back in 2014. I switched the polymer guide rail for a stainless I found on eBay for $10 ( I kept original spring ) and it helped with recoil. It turned the entry level Sig into a beast. Sig does make an extremely reliable gun. Love mine.
If you like the legion 226 you should try legion p220r 10mm it surprised me. It's a totally different handgun, but it feels like the 9mm legion and has the power of a 10mm.
I purchased my P226 DA/SA nearly 31 years ago. I have yet to fire a gun that feels as buttery smooth and is as easy to fire accurately. The Beretta 92 came the closest.
Have you tried a CZ 75 style?
Agreed. The 92X might have its number. Close call.
@@J.Young808 I agree. I recently bought the p226 legion. Love it. But yesterday a rented a cz75. Shit. The cz is definitely a strong consideration for my next gun, to put it lightly.
@@rudrashakti108 is your legion sa only? What do you like better about the CZ?
@@JayyBird93 my legion is sa only. I like da/sa too like my p220, but was fascinated by that thumb safety. It’s very well placed, and super easy to manipulate. It helps me not hit the slide release on the last round so the slide always stays open on the last round. But, for defense, I would prefer being able to pre stage my finger on the da/sa trigger as I pull it out of the holster.
The CZ is very flat shooting. That’s what struck me about it. And it is ergonomic, (though for me nothing beats a p226/p229 as far as how they feel), and it has a certain old European vintage look. And it’s also all metal with a hammer.
Now, that safety it comes with is really atrocious, so I recommend always getting the decocker only.
Anyway, Since I can’t conceal the p226 on my person at all with my slim waist, (say as opposed to a p229), I ended up buying a CZ 75 compact PCR, decocker only. I love that gun too. The p226 will be for home/ car /apocalypse-no-need-to-conceal defense, while that CZ will me EDC being smaller. Now as opposed to the full size cz it’s not as flat shooting, though I still like how it shoots. I enjoy shooting the p226 more than the cz compact, but the cz is simply more concealable. And My ruger sp101 is in my rotation for slimmer clothes.
I have a p226 Legion DA/SA which I’ve put probably 10,000 rounds through. It’s been submerged in mud. It’s been dropped in sand. It keeps on working. I prefer polymer guns for EDC but when it’s time to look around the grounds after dark it’s the 226 that comes out. Same for when I go to the range. It’s my favorite firearm, followed closely by my P320 TacOps. // I’d love to have the SAO model, just to have the pair, but I’ll wait until the panic buyers cash out and get myself a nice used one.
I have over 2,500 rounds through mine and have had two jams. First jam was American Eagle 124, second jam was Winchester White Box.
"A laser beam" is spot on. Bought this 2 weeks ago after comparing the Langdon Beretta 92 with it. This is my edc along with my 238 legion back up.
We have the P938 and the P238, as well the the P365...
The P938 is my favorite micro pistol. only 8 rounds but it takes the recoil really well for a small pistol
I have this gun in the DA/SA version. I absolutely love that pistol. It just feels like it was custom built to fit my hand. Accurate, reliable and super model beautiful. Yeah, I'm a huge Sig fanboy 😉. In my collection I have the 1911 Max Michel, P226 Legion RX, P365 XL and P938 with Hogue hang on grips.
I’m really not sure which variant should I buy, the double action with a curved trigger or SAO with a flat trigger
@@Alshabh15 If I had it to do over again I would probably opt for the SAO since I only use it at the range.
@@Alshabh15 another thing to know. You will never get the carrying case or challenge coin. I've been waiting for over a year for mine. No big deal except I hate being lied to.
@@Terry12345 thank you for your response,
I was told that I would have to register my gun at Sig Sauer’s website to obtain that coin. I think it’s a preventative measure to make sure it gets to the actual user.
I have CZ75 SP01...which I love. My wife has a Sig 2022, which I understand is the polymer version of the 226. Despite the much higher bore axis and polymer frame, her Sig shoots noticeably softer than the heavier CZ. Wonderful gun to shoot!
I just bought the SP01 and a 226 legion. Always wanted a 236 and a CZ. Might have overdone it getting both 🤣. I'm curious how my cz will do compared to my jericho 941. IWI based the jericho on the 75. Hoping to get by the range this weekend to test them out
@@ShaunFVG what did you think between them?
Beautiful gun , personally I prefer the original DA/SA design. Also thank you so much for the PX4 Storm review ! I bought the Inox version soon after its my favorite EDC Ive ever owned . 21 rounds , SA DA , rotating barrel ! Great reviews as always keep em up !
The PX4 with the LTT upgrades is incredibly hard to beat. Will outshoot even this P226 in most cases.
So far i just bought the LTT 10lb hammer spring , and yest it imprives the trigger pull tremendously ! Only cost $12 best value upgrade ever
@@RedEyePergo Check out the enhanced trigger bar that LTT offers. It’s about $45 and improve the trigger reset and weight even more.
Nice gonna give it a look , thinking about a stipple job too but I might just stck with my diy talon grips
I love me some P226.
Good video. I have a 226 Legion SAO in 9mm and love it. So smooth and feels so good in the hand. I like Sigs and also have a p227, p228, p365 and just bought a p320 xcarry Legion which I haven't shot yet. Also a big glock fan but the 226 may be my favorite. I hope I love the p320 as much and hope to play with it soon. Thanks for the great videos I usually agree with you but always enjoy them.
just bought the p226 pro cut! my first ever SIG. can’t wait to see some reviews and comments about it
SIG is good stuff. I have several but my fav is the P228/M11. Light, compact and it works, reliable. Lotsa miles on it. Very happy.
This is my favorite gun . I bought one two years ago . $980 plus tax . Mine has never had a failure with all types of ammo . It's a dream to shoot . I have many videos of it on my channel . Great review 💥💥💥 .
I carried a P226 in the early 90s as a LEO. Best pistol I've ever owned.
I’m never gonna financially recover from this
One of the biggest regrets I’ve had in my hand gun buying and selling days was selling the P226 legion single action only RX… Fast forward to about four months ago when I found this unicorn of a gun at a fairly reasonable price for a new gun, I bought it, bought the Mitch Rosen leather holster for it off of the Legion website and have never looked back. The weight is okay for me because I’m a fairly big guy, my Walther PDP full-size and compact are for when I need to carry all day. And with regard to the bore axis argument that some people make with regard to the P226, I think if you train it becomes 100% a non-issue
Saw one of these at a gun show a few months ago here in the philippines, great to see I have a good option to buy! Keep up the good work on the channel dood!
I absolutely love my Legion P226... It is my favorite among all of my Sigs including my P239 SAS, P320 Compact .45 and P229 Legion... Would agree though, you DO get what you pay for and Sigs ain't cheap!
Just got one of these with the Romeo 1 Pro and I can honestly say that it has made me a better shooter. My groups at 20 yards are the best they’ve ever been! I’m so stoked by my results that I’ll be picking up the 229 this weekend, also with the Romeo 1 pro and also SAO 😊
First auto pistol I ever bought and owned is still my favorite of the bunch. P226 mk25!
My first time ever shooting handguns (15 years ago…?) was a beretta 92, p226, and a 1911… I liked the sig best and some years later finally bought one 👍🏾
The legion 226 is probably the smoothest gun I've ever fired, but man it's heavy.
That’s part of what makes it smooth. It’s solid.
My mom bought my dad this gun for him for his birthday. He loves it and the only issue he's had with it is when the rear sight popped off and went into the range! Crazy!
I've been waiting for this review for 84 years!
Whoa the UK SAS had it as standard issue way before the SEAL'S. I saw Regiment soldiers with them back in 1999. Awesome pistol.
I have had the P226 on my bucket list for a long time. I bought my kids their guns 1st (H&K P30L VP9 LE) and now my turn. Since your review I waited at my local gunshot (you bought an H&K there) for the P226 Legion to arrive. They sell fast. I bought the P226 SAO/RPX Legion with red dot. Right out of the box accurate and on point, Blazer ammo and no jams and runs great. Put over 100 rds. through it. Best handgun I ever shot. Trigger is the best. Thank you for your review Outlaw this is the second gun you assisted me with purchasing. You are correct this is a hand laser. Patreon Supporter. PS. Free Legion Coin 226 SAO and 5.11 Legion Premium Zippered Pistol Case. Cool Swag.
I again will thank you for the outrageously late night video would have been here 11 minutes ago but I was doing laundry
Just helping out with the algorithm !!!
There's just something about the Sig classic P-series guns. When you pick one up, you know you're holding a serious quality piece of gear. And despite the "Legion" marketing silliness, they really are excellent guns, and when you add up the additional features you are getting over the base model, they are not ridiculously priced at all. I've got about 1,700 rounds through my P229 Legion with no issues whatsoever - it's just gets smoother and smoother.
Agreed on the Legion thing. They’ve had issues with the PVD coating over the years and the optics cut is for a shitty optic. Otherwise definitely a good value
Awesome review, I love the 226 SAO too. It shoots great! It shoots that good, I can’t see how anyone wouldn’t be a better shooter with the 226 SAO Legion.👍
Definitely, one badass Sig P226 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome review, Honest Outlaw. I am SOLD on this Sig Sauer P226 SAO Legion in 9mm !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I added the Sig Armorer Superstrut to mine made a nice gun even nicer, took about 8 oz out of the trigger pull. Now averages 2lb 12 oz.
I’m sold. I sit here on Christmas Eve 2021, and it’s my birthday. I was given the choice of this gun or the Xfive Legion. I watched both your videos on each. And this is the clear winner. But I would like to have both someday…..
I’m looking at a P226 Mark 25 at my local shop. It’s about $200 less, and, Navy logo. Super cool.
Hot damn!!! 10 out of 10??? Impressive.... guess what my next purchase is going to be? Yup! You guessed it...😁
Awesome review brother.!!!
I will be renting one of these as soon as 9ammo is more available. This is on the list!
I bought one of these when they first came out and absolutely loved it… but in search of a rare pistol, I let it go. However, I recently corrected my error by buying a new SAO that’s is optic ready. Topping it with my fav (a 2.5 DPP) I’m totally in love and never letting this one go…
Just picked up a Legion for $860. Man it feels sweet and shoots amazing. I carry appendix with no problem.
Great review! I am now sold on picking up a P229 Legion once I find it in stock locally.
THIS is the firearm for me.
I love my DA/SA, just get some extra recoil springs, I’ve found they crap out after 5k rounds
I have the Legion 226 and also 229...awesome pieces.. Also have the elite in both very beautiful pieces..indeed
There’s only one thing I gotta say-badass, on target to the target. Thanks again for your show. You are absolutely rock solid. Love it.👍
I like the original P226 grips better but these ones are nice also I like how the decocker is on the normal ones and I love how sig has there own decocker that is dare I say the most ergonomic decocker ever
Great review, great gun. I have all the Legions and I love the 229 in 9mm best. But the 220 and 226 SAOs are, for me, flawless.
TFC you prefer SAO over the dual action? Ready to go with 226 as it's available. But I sure like that 220 in 45. Just hard to find.
So stoked that I’m moving out of Cali to free country and this Sig WILL be mine..
Glad I bought this pistol quite a while back and for a steal at $1100 apparently. This is easily one of my favorite firearms in my collection
A video on alternatives at that price point would be great..especially for tactical. Fast, accurate, reliable. 10/10 only.
Very good review and as usual fantastic shooting. I have a 226 legion double/single and I love it.
About six months ago I purchased one of these gems. By far and away the best pistol I have ever purchased. But it did set me back $1600. But that’s due to the crazy times we live in. Currently keeping my eyes peeled for the P229 variation as I’ve heard even better opinions. Same setup. Just slightly shorter for a better conceal choice.
comment again my local gun store has it in cash only. 1100 out the door . Heading there now needed to check out your video again thank you very much.
Thay what the sao going for
That
Love the video and trust the Honest Outlaw’s opinions. I have a SA/DA Sig 226 Legion and love it, it is my carry pistol. Accurate as hell, good trigger and shoots anything, l love the sights too- even if the Romeo goes out l have no problem sighting without it. Worth every penny l paid for it.
Out off all the firearms I’ve had, I miss my Legion P226 SAO the most. But the new red dot model has me intrigued again to throw an SRO onto
I have the p229 Legion. Best pistol I've ever owned. As far as automatic I probably will only buy sig from now own. I'm loyal to brands don't judge me It is what it is. Sig haven't let me down yet. I also have the Max 1911 and 516 AR.
I agree with your comments about the striker-fired Sig triggers vs. the hammer-fired Sig triggers. The P-220, P225, P226 and P229, among others, have great triggers. I wanted to love the P320 trigger, but I was much better with the hammer-fired Sigs and any 1911.
The quality...... the trigger, grip, and just a beautiful 9mm handgun. Was going to purchase the B&T MKII $925 Gunbroker but the SIG LEGION P226 has it all. PEACE
As a HK fan I do appreciate the Legion series but really love the P226 whether be it legion or not.
I love LOK grips, they take your guns to the next level....
I carry my P226 Legion everyday, it is an incredible firearm and the $1278 that I paid for it was worth every penny. Highly recommend grabbing this gun if you have the means to, it looks and feels outstanding. P226s are among my favorite chain for firearms ever.
Amen! Let us pray.........
I love my P226 Etreme with the short reset trigger. My crown jewel.
I love your reviews and I just picked up a used P229 Legion RXP and this is a beautiful pistol that shoots great and the short reset trigger is excellent.
