I’ve been searching for the p226 sao legion for months. Nobody in my area could even get a legion besides the x5 series’s. I ended up settling on a elite sao and loved it! Had for about 2 months. I ended up going into my local gun store and I saw the rxp sao legion just sitting in the case. I’m in love with my new beautiful weapon! So worth the money!
Would you say the Elite is a pretty good gun? I really want a 226 Legion but its a little pricey and impossible to find so I was maybe going to snag an Elite instead.
@@RikkiTikkiTavi290 I would not pass one up if your looking for a classic sig. if you have the opportunity I would! Going to grab another elite hopefully in the near future.
Trust me you want to put in the armory craft smooth action SRT kit, SIG armorer's strut, and dual adjustable trigger. The trigger pull and reset (over stock SRT) is a massive improvement. You can send slide out to C&H precision for R1P slide cut. They are licensed by SIG to do the cut. I sent out a P227 elite and did the boomsquad package for a one week turnaround. Excellent work but the customer service was less then desirable. They never look at emails let alone read them.
It is such a beautiful firearm. I have one as well. I’m thinking about purchasing the slide with the Romeo 1 pro on it. I love shooting mine a lot. Great unboxing video.
I just ordered my 226 Legion from my dealer who ordered it from Sig, I have to wait 8 - 12 months to recieve it they are that backlogged but hoping for a great Christmas present. Beautiful gun!
I have the same handgun. 3000 plus rounds in...no complaints. Easily my favorite gun of all time. Put a red dot on it once...it was...ok. took it off after a bit...and I know people will say practice but I am faster with the iron sights.
Nice! Appreciate the comment and you watching the video! I’ll be posting a video soon showcasing the improvements you can make by adding some of the aftermarket kits and trigger. Keep an eye out coming soon!
I have a 2008 P226 (.40 S&W, converted to 9mm) and a 2024 P229 Legion (9mm). For me, with me using my P229 Legion for carry, I don’t see me upgrading it, it’s fine as it came. My good old P226, I may do some Grayguns upgrades, but I’m in no hurry to do so.
If you have trouble using the slide catch, you can replace it with a standard 226/229 slide catch. The standard lever is a bit larger and much easier to use. I had so much trouble working the one on my 226. I ordered a standard lever from the Sig website and now I have no problems working it.
That’s a great point! It is so much harder to rack the slide open with the Legion slide catch. I’ll definitely keep that in mind, thanks for the comment!
I bought one like it back in May of this year. So far I have shot 500+ rounds out of the gun. It is a very nice pistol! Once I get dies for my Dillion 650 I am going to do a lot of shooting with this pistol.
I just bought a 229 legion last week and took it out to the country to shoot it, on Saturday.. all I can say is wow.. amazing firearm right out the box.. good luck
Don’t be left handed. 😀 Use your left thumb to release the slide catch; Aldo the de-cocker. possibly with assist from right thumb…. Easier with left thumb. Practice
I just posted a new video detailing out the P226 Legion and MK25. I think it will have a ton of information for your question. There’s a lot of value in both.
Matthew 6:33 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you John 3:5 “Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” Mark 3:35 “For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.” John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Matthew 7:21 “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Psalms 44:6 “For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.” Psalms 44:7 “But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.” Psalms 44:8 “In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.”

I just got a used one for 1k could not pass it up
My local shop got one in… the guy said their distributor only got 2 of them.
I think I’m gonna go snag it today.

I have a P226 MK25 that in inherited that had something in the range of 25k rounds through it. It’s fine. I trust it as much as many new pistols
I like the mags you got. Mine had the thin metal base.
You don’t want these mags, restricted to 10 rounds! Not good.
@@bfgprecision ugh…that sucks! yea…I’ll just keep mine!

Those mags are 10 rd only..... That's why the base is different
Mine came with 3 15 round magazines.
@@SaundersE5 mine did too!!!. The mags in the video are different.
Nice piece! I just bought the X5 and am looking for the p229 Legion for ccw
I love my X5! I have another video on that build as well on the channel! You can’t go wrong with the Legion!
My local gun store has 8 229 in Stock

Should of went to gunbroker there are tons on there
am considering one how well do they fit medium hands
Is it me or did you take a loaded magazine out and not rack the slide to clear the firearm?
Slide was racked and safety checked prior to any trigger pulls. I always check my firearms before I video as well. Thank you for your concern.
just got me 226 legion
You don’t see the gun until 6:16 in. You’re welcome.
That drove me nuts. Too much time going through the paperwork, case.
Point well taken, thanks! I’ll definitely keep that in mind.
@@jiveturkey947 some people want to see everything but I will keep that in mind. Feel free to fast forward anytime though.
Does Sig still make the P226? Cuz I want one.
Absolutely, they make many of them!
