Wow, even I am getting older. I remember drooling over the Equinox when it first came out... can't believe it is a Custom Works limited gun now. yikes... Great looking gun.
Picked up a 226 and took it to the range. I expected it to be as accurate as some of my other pistols in the same price range. Sad to say it disapointed me. I had my CZ Shadow 2 with me, and I have to say the grouping with the CZ put the 226 to shame. Ran various ammo through both ( about 200 rounds each). The trigger and reset on the 226 feels awsome just couldn't get it to group well. Talking a 4 inch group at like 30 feet vs the Shadow stacking them at that distance.
Love the concept but I'm way ahead of you! Been running a P229 Equinox with short reset trigger, action enhancement service, and conversion to those perfect E2 grips along with a 9mm bull conversion barrel for years! My favorite gun until the Legion 229 came out. And yes, I'd be happy to relocate to NH and work for you!!! :D Seriously... please hire me!
I know this is an older video but do you think the legion is a big upgrade over this? I’m deciding between the two and sort of like the look of the equinox better. Just wish they offered it in sao like the legion
I own many Sigs but I find it hilarious that instead of designing and building something new Sig takes old and current firearms and make them "custom", "Legion", "Special", etc. just to get more money out of a customer. Oh, that shinny new coin I'll get with the Equinox makes it the perfect firearm lol. Still love my Sigs though......
I mean why would it be a bad thing to have different variants of the same proven model? Look at Spyderco knives for example, they release exclusive Paramilitary 2's and people buy a new one every time they come out. Same knife, just different colors, steels etc. It would be boring to just have one plain model of something. This is to keep demand high on an old design.
@@MarcoFromTropoja I understand what your saying Matt but to me I prefer something different. I took the money (and some) that I would have used to purchase the Equinox and purchased a Barrett instead..... Glad I did :o)
@@04Vettman that’s awesome! I had the choice to buy a Barrett last year but decided to buy a premium 2020 mustang gt instead. With the way the worlds going I wouldn’t doubt 9mm ammo is going to cost as much as 50 bmg ammo eventually lol.
@@MarcoFromTropoja I'm waiting for the electric Mustang, think that might be a little more fun to drive and have far better traction. I miss my C5 Vette but will replace it with the newer 2021 version. I'm not worried about ammo, I have 3 presses and plenty of supplies but I don't use the 50BMG, I have 3 barrels for it right now... .338 Lapua Magnum, .308 Winchester and 6.5cm. Lot's of fun at the range with my fellow ROs.
Is Sig still producing and selling guns, or just introducing custom finished pieces? I'm asking because I've given up on obtaining a Cross rifle, and have ordered a SCAR 20S.
They are still making guns the have the tread coil and the 716 which is the .308 version of the 516 that’s in 5.56 they also came out with the nightmare series which looks like the equinox but they are blacked out except the trigger, they still are making the 226,1911 series etc with the handguns. The equinox has not been released yet from sig so people still have a chance although it’s a limited run many people can still get there hands on one or get a 226 and have it customized by sig with no problem
The SIG P229 in .357 SIG is, bar none, my overall favorite handgun (of any handgun), and this is certainly a beautiful version, but I'm missing the Elite beavertail which I even prefer over the Legion's. My hands need at least one or the other or my thumb knuckle is screwed.
Is there going to be a Nightmare or Equinox P320? When the p320axg scropion released, you said there would be more customworks models coming. Really curious what else there will be.
I have an older model p220 equinox. It says sig custom shop on the slide. Did all the equinox p220 come with the srt trigger? Or just the later production models?
When are the p320 AGX going to hit Voluisa top gun??? I got my money ready to pick up mine!!! I love SIGS only and hate the wait time on getting them into my hands... would love to hear something back!!!! Jason
It depends if Voluisa Top Gun gets them directly from Sig or through a distributor. The AXG isn't something they're going to get alot of. Each dealer will probably get a couple to a few, if any, and alot of them are choosing to sell them online instead of instore because of the markup. Order one on gun broker if you really want it, but they're selling for ridiculous money, up to 50% over MSRP. My FFL got one from Sig, but he was up there anyways. Trying to figure out what to charge for it was another matter entirely. I think he settled on $1300 which was much better than the $1800 people are paying for it online.
The p227 has the potential to be a great pistol. I never understood they way they made options available on the p227.🤔 1. The tactical didn't 'originally' have front serrations or the option to come optic ready. 2. The variants with front serrations weren't available with a threaded barrel or optic ready. 3. The p227 rx wasn't available with a threaded barrel or front serrations. 4. The nail in the coffin was they then offered the p220 in *10mm!* and in a Legion variant. It's like sig made the p227 and almost single handedly did whatever they could to undermine it. A. If sig would have offered the p227 with a comprehensive feature set I would have bought a p227 instead of an 'FN FNX 45 tactical'. B. If Sig would have offered the p227 in 10mm I would have bought a p227 instead of a 'Tanfoglio Witness Stock III'. IDK, maybe it's just me.😕
It's a Da/Sa. If they put a flat trigger on any P229 the 22X loyalists would lose their minds. They do put a flat trigger on their SAO P229 and P226 though.
I don't see an option for an optic... All custom works should at least have the option for an optic. They don't all have to have it, but it should definitely be an option. The equinox looks great. Unfortunately I won't buy one simply because of that. I don't want to have to send it out to another company, pay $150 minimum and then loose the entire warranty. That's terrible. I sent my 229 stainless elite out for an optic cut. It's looks and works great. But unfortunately Sig said I lost 100% of my warranty. Before I sent it out I asked. I also asked if that was something I could send to them to do so I didn't loose the warranty. They said no. I took the chance anyhow because I enjoy the optic and they work great. But I lost the full warranty on a $1,200 gun for doing it. You really should offer it. Or at the very least contract out with a couple companies for that kind of work so people don't loose their warranty on a $1,000+ gun. Other than that, I am a Sig fanboy. So this is constructive criticism. Thank you. God bless
I always admired the Anti-Glare Chrome strip on the top of the slide on the original 229 Equinox, I had never seen that before. Was there any consideration for bringing that (mostly aesthetic, I believe) feature back? Also, now that the Elite version is out, is this Custom Works offering still available? I noticed this version was labeled as "limited run" while the Elite is not.
Hey another Sig they make a small batch of once, then unavailable by the time customers hear about it and have the money to order one! (Yet shows on the website as available for years)
Beautiful, just the compact I'm looking for; only problem is demand is up so high these days, you hardly can't find a gun to buy. Walked into my local gun dealer's store about two weeks ago. As I was walking up to the counter, the sales person asked me "what can I help you with?"..all I was able to say was "I'm looking to purchase a Sig"...and he cut me off right there. He shook his head and said, "I can't get you anything right now, only what we have in the display cases."(not a single Sig) He went on to tell me that there just isn't any stock right now, and he has no idea when supplies will start to come back in. So, this video sort of has me scratching my head...why advertise when you don't have the means to deliver in any sort of significant quantity?
Hey Sig, Don't make any sense why you would show them if you don't have enough to go around. Still looking and waiting for the P320 axg. Losing interest fast. Doesn't show me much for your company...
Meanwhile back in Austria... Glock has decided to re-released the P80 after engineers still couldn't decide on whether to include finger grooves on their upcoming Gen 6 line of pistols.
Wow! A new Black Pistol with special grips!! Save your money for ammo and don’t waste your time or better spent money! Is it me or does this seem like a Late Night Infomercial?!!
So SIG just adds the word “Equinox” to the slide, makes it 2-tone and all of a sudden it’s a different gun than the Nightmare series? 🙄 wanna make money SIG? Re-release the 8” MPX something we ACTUALLY want
You guys released this Equinox as a limited release, then just released the Equinox Elite, which other that some front serrations and slightly different silver accents, looks like a total money grab to release another variant.
so what’s custom The same short Resik trigger that’s been in existence for 10+ years some finished parts the same slide frame fit sometime sloppy sometimes not a case that cost $25 instead of five dollars manufacturers cost the Legion has a more expensive trigger system than this gone and this guy is more money I don’t get it

I just did today lol
I've wanted a 229 for a long time. Finally found the 229 legion. I love it
My favorite gun!! The P229 Legion is my favorite gun and I have a Shadow 2 and a Beretta 92 Performance!! That tells you something right there!
Beautiful gun! Wish I could afford it. Well I wish I could afford anything before the SHTF next month. 😕
Picked up a 226 and took it to the range. I expected it to be as accurate as some of my other pistols in the same price range. Sad to say it disapointed me.
