I have been teaching and presenting for over 30 years. That being said, you deliver a concise, well articulated presentation every time. Its clear that you are objective and candid. I appreciate the integrity of your reviews and wish you the best.
My current duty weapon is a P229. However I personally a 320Xcompact and I really enjoy it. Sig has been a very reliable platform that I do trust with my life. Thanks for the breakdown.
Odd that your agency in 2021 still uses P229s. The NJ State Police sued SIG over "Classic" P229s in 9x19mm. They had problems over training, re qual ammunition. Orlando PD Orlando.gov uses older P226Rs traditional DA-SA. Officers and detectives use smaller P229s too. I've seen a few command staff wearing SIG P365 9mm pistols.
I like that you listed the FCU in the #1 spot. Sig deserves a lot of credit for bringing this product to market. My main question is about its reliability. I would love to see a 1k round review of a custom gun built with the FCU, not a Spectre comp FCU but an "off-the-shelf" FCU.
My first Sig was a SP2022. Still the most accurate shooter for me. Perfect weight and size for my hands. Fits like a glove. Even got a great deal on it brand new.
I'm new to shooting, 2022 was my first pistol, had to have a hammer! now looking at it would think trigger is horrible-heavy double action pull, terrible creep,slack on single action. Yet I shoot it way better than my Glock.
Completely agree. The trigger group being removable and interchangeable is genius. Coupled with that being the "firearm" serialized unit and the fact that it allows you to have multiple builds off of that one trigger group is phenomenal. I (and many others) built the 365X (XL grip, traditional 365 slide) before it was even a thing... the possibilities are near endless.
Frankly, I disagree. There is no real advantage to having a FCU that can be removed from one frame and placed into another one, in my opinion. I don’t see anything wrong with it, especially if there is a market there for it, b/c I do believe people should have options they want; however, in this case I see in purely as a niche market many really don’t want or need. The truth of the matter is Sig Sauer has had more issues with their entire line of products than all other top tier manufacturers combined, and there is no excuse for that. The reason is they cut corners b/c the US market just isn’t particular enough to know the difference btwn true quality vs counterfeits. Sig is a joke among many professionals today, and although there are still holdouts who are more interested in defending their uninformed opinions than they are in actually being right, other manufacturers like Canik (which are very nice guns) are gaining ground. If I can’t have a M&P M2.0, HK or Glock I’d take a Canik product before I’d even think about considering anything SigUSA produces.
I'm a small business owner shooting instructor, retired military, shot a lot of different pistols and I teach with the 226 every time because of it's reliability and ease of handling. Thanks for the video!
My first Sig was a P250 but couldn't hit with it. Traded it for the SP2022 in 9mm. Carried it for several year's. Now it has a light/laser mounted and is my bedside gun. Still a pleasure to shoot.
Glad you picked the P210....I still like my P226 MK 25 as reliable and durable, for lowest cost with quality and night sights I go with the SP2022 as full size and lighter, and lastly when the P365 was having growing pains many of us went with the P938 Legion with night sights, SAO, very concealable, 3 mags, and increased the P938 to 7 vs. 6 rounds. Good choices. Thanks.
I’ve been looking at what to get for my first handgun a lot recently and definitely a ton since I cannot even get one until next July. This channel has been an immense help and just wanted to say thanks.
I'm a big Sig fan, so I definitely like this. However, I'd love to see you do this for current generation CZ, Beretta (check out the awesome new M9A4), S&W, 1911's (no 2011's), and more.
M9A4… had no clue not even a blip on my radar , why isn’t anyone talking about this?! It looks so sweet I’ve never had a beretta but I’ve shot a 92 and the M9A3 and thought they were really slick guns, I was going to buy a 92 that they have at my local gun shop new for $500 but now I know why the price dropped!
my first gun was a P226! I thought I had an idea of what I wanted to get after I got my license but when I was introduced to Sig that changed everything!
Im verry happy you have the P210 on the list. IMO it is one of the best pistols ever made. Back in the days, centerfire pistols wasnt legal for sportsshooting here in Denmark. Only rimfire targetpistols… Centerfire pistols wasnt good enough for targetshooting was the general consensus. Then a danish army officer showed up at a competition, and shot better than all of the other guys - with his P210 servicepistol. From that day, centerfire pistols would be allowed for targetshooting. Just a funfact 😅
@@IRONMIKE883 they're becoming more and more available. I've seen p07/09 and the p10 lineup in multiple stores and in greater numbers as they expand their US market
I would love to see more company specific videos. Especially for Dan Wesson (which Is unfortunetely unaviable here in Czech republic) also for CZ and HK.
Great info! I give considerable support to disabled vets, children's hospitals and some 2a orgs.... great you support homeless shelters....I have a number of 10mm, 9mm single action pistols and single action 45 revolvers....must say I spend more time reloading than shooting....love sig, dw and ruger pistols....carry sig 365 xl...all the best...sp
Great list! Love the x5 legion and the 365s. I think I’d have had to include the 229. Especially the enhanced elite with extended beaver tail and srt trigger. It’s an absolute beast!
Hi - I've been watching your videos for a while now and enjoy them greatly. I also wanted to say "Respect to you" for helping others. I'm in London, England.
Nice list! My list with the 3 Sig pistols I have experience with, P365 I carry the most since I retired, the P226 which was a duty gun for 13 years, and the P320 which replaced the 226. Not a pistol but the MCX shoots sweet also but is more of a pain to field strip than an AR. Thanks for the video!
I own Sig's because they fit my hands best. I have shot many manufactures, models and caliber variants of some. Best out of the box trigger I have ever felt was an SP2022. I have 2, one in 9mm the other in 357SIG. My first Sig was a P226. Still have in. Bought at the Rod & Gun Club while stationed in W.Germany (at the time) and it had the import stamp from Herndon, VA. My current CCW is my P228 with TruGlo TFO sights and 17 round P226 mags with the XGrip mod. Hard to beat the old school classic P series pistols with the folded carbon steel slides IMO. I also have a Zurich Polizei turn in P225. Little disappointed the S2022 got no mention. It is the BEST and most undermarketed gun and for a long time available for under $500
Good List. Most folks overlook the 210. I made IDPA "M" with the same 226 I took to the academy. Still learning about all the new X5 / 320 options. Loved your piece together.
Grew up firing revolvers, fell in love with 1911 .45 ACP when I got a little older. Issued and trained with P-226 as a sidearm in the military. A friend brought 2gen P-250 to the range one day, and I put beaucoup rounds through it and fell in love with the action and trigger. I bought one that same day. That was 12 years ago, love the modularity of this handgun. Bought the wife one too. It is my EDC in .40 compact, but I can convert to full size in an instant. One other thing it is an all weather nail driver.
I'm a new gun owner. Researched for a year and shot a bunch of guns. I purchased a P226 MK25. Yes, I paid a little extra for the anchor symbol cause my dad was in the USN. It's so much fun to shoot it and so comfortable in my hand. Your videos are great. I found them very helpful in my process. Keep them coming!
Very good list, love my Sigs, P220 is an awesome weapon in .45acp, I may be the only person i know who put an xl slide on the P365 frame, but with 10, 12, and 15 round mags, grip length is then very flexible. Thanks for the review.
I first carried a P226 as a cop back in the 1980’s. I loved it before the department forced us to go to G17 for few parts to stock for a couple of thousand of us. I seem to remember that the P210 came with a European mag release in the 1980’s in either 9mm, .38 super auto, or .45ACP. Shot the P320 at Sig’s instructor course in Epping in 2017. All great guns to shoot.
Just became a Patron. I personally have 8 Sig Pistols. My Top 5 almost exactly. 1. MK25 like the legion P226 but I modified my mk 25 with a SRT, Better Grips, and trigger. 2. P220 late 1970s West German made P220 45acp, Just added a Houge grip and it shoots like a laser, and it is a vintage. 3. M11A1 (P228/229) just a perfect Hammer fire compact. Not many bells or whistles (SRT pre installed and smoothest non 1911 trigger imho) but just a great firearm. 4. MY custom 320. It is the best thing about the 320 you can Frankenstein it to make a Monster. 5. P365xl Wife's favorite carry pistol , added the romeo dot. I think best CC firearm. Great work. HONOARABLE MENTION I am working on a P210 now looking forward to completing. Keep it up
I am a Sig P320 and P365 Armorer and I love this list. I currently have an X-Five with Custom Shop FCU, 365XL with a Romeo Zero, Stock 320 TX Ranger Edition, and my 320 Custom Build 320 Custom shop FCU, Wilson Combat Grip module, Pro Cut slide and a Delta Point Pro optic. I own quite a few handguns, and if I had to run out of the house with just one gun, it would be my X-Five. By far the smoothest firearm I own. Now if I could just get the trigger as good as those in my Caniks, it would be the perfect gun. I'm getting closer to the Canik level trigger, not quite there yet. Love your videos. You almost always seem to get it right. Great job.
There's only one Sig handgun I own and it's probably among their most affordable and that's the SP2022. I just got it this year and after more than 2 decades of .45 handgun ownership, I finally joined the 9mm club. I decided to get this to have an alternative ammo option in case .45 became too scarce or too expensive as I can shoot about 3 rds of 9mm for the cost of 2 .45 ACP. The SP2022 is fun to shoot and is pretty accurate. The 15 rd mags are a good capacity and it came with three mags which was great considering the cost of buying extras of those.
Great reviews on guns! One of the best and was nice to meet you at the shootout! Great shooter and down to earth person. I bought a pdp because of you and love the gun! Keep up the good work!
My carry rig is a Sig P365XL ROMEOZERO in a Crossbreed Super Tuck holster with a combat cut paired with Speer Gold Dot JHP 124 grain + P ammo. This rig is hard to beat!
Sigs are a lot of fun with their mix & match modularity. Currently running a 365XL with a Spectre slide, custom stippled grip and True Precision threaded barrel and 507K optic. Almost as concealable as the 365. As I recall the grip was too short for you. You might check out XL Tactical's basepads for the standard and 15 round mags. Smooths out the contour of the 15 round and ads some hook and about 4mm extra length to the standard mag.
Definitely agree, great platform choices here. I blame the P226 SAO for my current Signess. Definitely would want to see your take on your favorite CZ's as well.
Man I was hoping to see the AXG scorpion on this list. Everybody who shoots mine immediately falls in love with it. But after watching this…I need that pro cut P226 to add alongside it.
I'm just seeing this; however, I think it's one of your best videos I've watched. Granted, I'm partial to Sig, having two P226s and a P365. IMHO, compared to other pistols I have owned / own, I always like what Sig delivers. (Others in my past / present, XD9 Subcompact, M&P compact, Glock 33 & 36, and a few others.) Being in a hot state, concealed carry is more difficult if it's over 80 degrees teen months of of the year. Thanks for the great video. 🙏
I'm about to buy a p229 enhanced elite next week, just waiting on the store to receive it from sig. I would absolutely love the legion but because I'm in CA I can't buy it new.. it is one of my dream handguns!
planning on buying the P320 model myself to not only carry to the range (thanx to an abundance of 9mm ammo), but to conceal carry (now that I not only have a carry permit, but also a good holster for it)
Wow. The first 2 Sigs I bought are on this list. Good info. Delivered with succinct confidence and professionalism. Highly recommend your channel to others.
I like that you updated your pricing on the FCU since you made your most recent P320 video with your custom build. I got 2 of them for 350 each and built to fantastic guns that aren't quite the xcompact but close and not quite the XF but close. I really enjoyed the experience of assembling them and customizing them using the Wilson Combat grip or the Icarus Precision grip, there's just everything out there for it and you can make it whatever you want, want a carry option? No problem. Want to make a competition gun, grab the X5 grip and you're on your way. Great GRV Chris, I'm a fan of your stuff and actually bought my P07 and p10s off your recommendations so thanks again to you and Mrs. Outlaw for all you do. You guys are a great team.
I carried the P 229 for a long time on the job and now carry my own when off duty. Best gun I've ever had. I've also had a couple 239's, one (older model) that I liked a lot and one (newer model) not so much.
😊 I’m a Sig fan so I like this. I own P365SAS, P356XL, P238, P938 Legion, P320 Compact, and the P2022 and love them all. But I do own other guns that I like too - such as the Kimber 45ACP ultra II 3” which is my current favorite …but I’m fickle. 😂 Great review I loved it.
Mt favorite Sig Pistol hands down is the P225-A2. It's a poor man's Sig Legion pistol. They used the enhancements of this pistol and figured out that they could add the enhancements and the Legion moniker to the other pistols and make some extra cash. They also liked the idea of a smaller all metal pistol and figured out they would produce the P320 with an all metal slide and give it an AXG suffix. This was the pistol that spurred additional innovations with their other products.
My favorite Sig pistol was a 239 I bought back in 1996 that was 357 sig/ 40 and it was the best pistol I've ever owned. I was in the in the scoring area on a target at 50 yards and have never been able to do that with another pistol. I regret selling that pistol.
I have a p250 and i love it, never jams and is very easy to shoot. Plus the modularity of it is very cool. I love that the 320 and 250 use the fcg being the legal part of the gun and allows caliber barrel grip change is epic.
After owning many brand 9mm pistols k bought a SIg 1911 in 10 mm auto for bear country (5” barrel, night sights) and it has become my everyday carry in the waistband at almost 5 lbs loaded it is heavy but it’s sight plane and accuracy makes comfortable and confident.
@HonestOutlaw love the list as a fan of the channel and Federal Officer your take on different firearms is just on point. Keep up the great work on all things 2A.
I have a Sig P220. It’s an oldy, but goldy. I have had it for awhile, and love it. I wish it was a double stack, but unfortunately it doesn’t come that way in .45. I equipped it with a red dot laser sight built into the grip, and love it. Not my EDC gun due to the size, but a great home defense gun, or a spare carry for the truck. The stock P365 is my favorite carry gun, hands down.
1 swiss sig p210. petters patent. 2 first x5. built on a 226. much better than the recent versions 3 browning bda. the one i bought in 1977. a very early 220 that browning imported before sig sold anything in the us. slightly thinner and lighter than what sig started importing around 1980. 4 365. a great little cary piece. 5 everything else meh. true i’m an old fud but the quality of my antique colts, winchesters and smith and wessons are so much better than anything built recently. that being said i really enjoy your channel and it’s nice to see some of the new high quality pistols coming from some of the small shops.
GREAT video, as per usual. Got to add my own list, even though this came out a year ago and therefore no one will see this. In no particular order... 1.) P226 TacOps, 40sw 15+ rounds, night sight with fiber optic front, ability to switch caliber to 357Sig with a simple barrel swap. The ONLY firearm I own that everyone who's fired it have asked if I wanted to sell it (no). 2.) P227 TacOps 14+1 of 45acp in basically the same package as the P226 above - whats not to love?? 3.) P365 TacOps (Seeing a trend here??) Same as the standard P365, with 3 12rd mags (got no use for the 10rd mags, sorry). 4.) M1A1 (P229) Smaller version of a P226, dead-nuts reliable like all of the hammer-fired P series Sigs, and just looks cool (mine is in green). 5.) MPX - I don't own one, but I sure wish that I did!
The FCU felt like a copout since you already had a 320 in the list. But I'll allow it, because your reasoning behind it makes perfect sense. The Modular Handgun System was made specifically because the US Military wanted a handgun that was as modular and versatile as the M4. And it comes damn close! If not for the fact that the takedown safety lever has to be swapped out if you want to go between 9mm and 45acp/10mm, it'd be perfect. You can still go between 9mm and 357, but it sure would be nice if Sig made some updated parts that made swapping to the larger calibers on the same FCU easier.
@@thelastcopier there’s no such thing as the 92X FS. They make the 92 FS. The 92X is the newest standard model with a changed grip and few other things. The “92X performance” is a different model. Person above said 92X not 92X performance. And no 92 “FS” is does not designate full size. This is why I was curious. If they liked a standard 92X over a 226 legion then shit ain’t no sense spending legion money. Now I’m itching more to try them both.
Great video sir I just got the Sig P320 XCarry Legion one of the best sig pistols I have ever shot and I own the P229 Legion and the P226 MK25, keep up the great job luv your reviews
Thanks for confirming my choices. I have a 365XL and P320 Legion. With the FCU from the Legion, I boughted complete uppers along wire a new grip and now have a M17 + M18. And yes I love in one of those awful states. But won't retire here. Thanks for sharing. Now I want a 226.
Great list! I agree with the P226 SAO Legion. I have the original SAO, which is nice. When I wanted to upgrade the trigger, I was informed that the Legion trigger wasn't available as a standalone, so I broke down and bought the Legion. The trigger is much better, even after a trigger job on my original. Also agree with the 365 choice. I have an XL with a very inexpensive spring job, which makes the reset much better. Very accurate, especially for a carry gun. The P210 is also excellent, I think you would have enjoyed the target model (which I have) even more. Obviously I love my Sigs, so I won't burden anyone with the other ones I own. LOL
My first handgun purchased was a P226 back in 92 (still have it). Sigs feel comfortable and I shoot them well. Not a fan of the Legion line, seems like a marketing thing to make more money (IMO). My current favorite is my P226 Navy aka Mark-25, that Navy anchor on the slide looks cool.
I’d like to see a beretta video with hopefully emphasis on LTT (PX4 and or 92/M9)! Or better yet, one video of beretta and then another with only LTT’S!
I really liked this idea and the fire control unit is my kind of pistol! Thank you for making it, I haven't been a subscriber very long but have come to really enjoy the channel.
My list is strictly mine. 1.p365. The ultimate subcompact carry. Much more accurate than my g43 and g48s. Light with lots of firepower. 2. P250 9mm. Sweet DAO trigger. I can’t miss with this thing. It’s just stupid accurate and reliable. Please hate these guns so I can pick them up for cheap on gunbroker. 3 sp2022 9mm fde da/sa. It’s essentially a polymer 226. Lighter and still a very nice da/sa trigger. 100 percent reliable and much more affordable. Easy to carry for a duty gun. 4. P226 legion 9mm da/sa. So freaking heavy when doing a full load out with spare mags on your belt. For me, it’s just a range toy. 100 percent reliable. So heavy there’s little muzzle flip. 5. Sig 1911 feeding/jamming issues. Not that impressed. A rock island 1911 is more reliable. 6. P226 in .40. Even heavier. With spare mags, it gives your duty belt a hernia. Very nice shooter. 100 percent reliable. Only a range toy for me.
Been a Sig armorer since the 1990's. Wasn't a huge fan and I had shot a bunch. I kept hearing about the P320 AXG Pro so I bought one. Seriously. I can hit a small target at 60+ yards fast fire. Easy to hit a standard target say B21E from 100 + no problem standing. Very impressed and now my carry gun. Back when I went to academy you had 6 shots at 50 yards in the kill zone 3 must be in the center or back to the front of the line and start over.
Very nice review, brother. As an LEO, I carry my Sig Sauer p226 Elite on and off duty. Anywhere I go, I packed my Sig p226 Elite with Mec Gar 18rds. I put many rounds thru it and have never had any gun failure yet. Hopefully, it is gonna be that way. I love Sig P226 and P228.
I’ve had the P365 for a couple years and it is my favorite. I was especially disappointed that the SP2022 was not included. Great feel and balance and excellent trigger pull. I have mine in .40.
@@jerstolp1 Too many? All it has extra is a decocking lever, common with many pistols that are not striker fired. Once loaded, no way do you want to be walking around with the hammer cocked back while holstered. It releases the hammer without it striking the firing pin, and makes the trigger double-action again for the first shot. I’m going to assume you’re either young and only dealt with striker-fired pistols or are new to handguns. Is that the case? I ask because instead of maligning one utterly reliable and well-balanced pistol, instead recognize there are a large number of handguns from multiple manufacturers that have either decockers or decocking safeties. They are nothing that gets in the way of the firing process and nothing you’d worry about if needing to use the weapon. I hope that helped a bit with your knowledge. 😊

My current duty weapon is a P229. However I personally a 320Xcompact and I really enjoy it. Sig has been a very reliable platform that I do trust with my life. Thanks for the breakdown.
Odd that your agency in 2021 still uses P229s. The NJ State Police sued SIG over "Classic" P229s in 9x19mm. They had problems over training, re qual ammunition. Orlando PD Orlando.gov uses older P226Rs traditional DA-SA. Officers and detectives use smaller P229s too. I've seen a few command staff wearing SIG P365 9mm pistols.
We have transitioned to a Glock 19. I just haven’t gotten it yet.
Unfortunately that is the platform they chose. Many of us were not pleased but it’s out of our control.
Negative. Thats pretty standard at the State and Federal level
Better accuracy, P210 or P226 Legion? Too bad the P210 is only single stack. Apparently, a double stack mag isn't made for the P210?
When I started shooting in the early 80's the P226 was THE gun. That was the cool guy guns. Excellent pistol. One of these days I need to get one.
I have a P226 Legion and it is amazing.
I like that you listed the FCU in the #1 spot. Sig deserves a lot of credit for bringing this product to market. My main question is about its reliability. I would love to see a 1k round review of a custom gun built with the FCU, not a Spectre comp FCU but an "off-the-shelf" FCU.
P229 Legion is my current EDC.
Compact size more suited to my lifestyle and bucket list.
Concealable & an awesome range gun.
How’s the weight of it when you carry?
Isn't that the same grip length as a glock 17?
Completely agree with your list! That was one of the reasons I had bought the 320 and 365, is it’s modularity.
My first Sig was a SP2022. Still the most accurate shooter for me. Perfect weight and size for my hands. Fits like a glove. Even got a great deal on it brand new.
Love my sp2022
Tbh for me that's the sig I like the least.. Almost say I hate it...
I'm new to shooting, 2022 was my first pistol, had to have a hammer! now looking at it would think trigger is horrible-heavy double action pull, terrible creep,slack on single action. Yet I shoot it way better than my Glock.
Not good gun
I used to have an SP2022, liked it when I had it. That being said, guess I didn't like it enough to keep it. No issues whatsoever functionally though
Completely agree. The trigger group being removable and interchangeable is genius. Coupled with that being the "firearm" serialized unit and the fact that it allows you to have multiple builds off of that one trigger group is phenomenal. I (and many others) built the 365X (XL grip, traditional 365 slide) before it was even a thing... the possibilities are near endless.
Frankly, I disagree. There is no real advantage to having a FCU that can be removed from one frame and placed into another one, in my opinion. I don’t see anything wrong with it, especially if there is a market there for it, b/c I do believe people should have options they want; however, in this case I see in purely as a niche market many really don’t want or need.

I’ve had my P229 SAS for 6 years and I’ve never had a failure. It’s awesome for daily carry and a very reliable duty weapon.
Glad you picked the P210....I still like my P226 MK 25 as reliable and durable, for lowest cost with quality and night sights I go with the SP2022 as full size and lighter, and lastly when the P365 was having growing pains many of us went with the P938 Legion with night sights, SAO, very concealable, 3 mags, and increased the P938 to 7 vs. 6 rounds. Good choices. Thanks.
I’ve been looking at what to get for my first handgun a lot recently and definitely a ton since I cannot even get one until next July. This channel has been an immense help and just wanted to say thanks.
This was a great list. The number 1 was really surprising, interesting and smart. You are the best firearms reviewer on TH-cam! Keep it up!
I'm a big Sig fan, so I definitely like this. However, I'd love to see you do this for current generation CZ, Beretta (check out the awesome new M9A4), S&W, 1911's (no 2011's), and more.
This is really the first I've heard of the M9A4, huh.
Thought M9A4 was a typo till I googled it and now I’m rock hard. Damnit.
@@MustHaveJustice ha ha - thank you for sharing 🤪😂🤣🍆
I learned something new today, thanks guys
M9A4… had no clue not even a blip on my radar , why isn’t anyone talking about this?! It looks so sweet I’ve never had a beretta but I’ve shot a 92 and the M9A3 and thought they were really slick guns, I was going to buy a 92 that they have at my local gun shop new for $500 but now I know why the price dropped!
my first gun was a P226! I thought I had an idea of what I wanted to get after I got my license but when I was introduced to Sig that changed everything!
Im verry happy you have the P210 on the list. IMO it is one of the best pistols ever made.
Back in the days, centerfire pistols wasnt legal for sportsshooting here in Denmark. Only rimfire targetpistols… Centerfire pistols wasnt good enough for targetshooting was the general consensus.
Then a danish army officer showed up at a competition, and shot better than all of the other guys - with his P210 servicepistol. From that day, centerfire pistols would be allowed for targetshooting.
Just a funfact 😅
You always respark my interest in firearms. I love your content. Thank you for what you do and God bless you.
I'd say i'd like to see a CZ video, but we all know that's already coming. You probably own/have owned more than my local gun store has in stock.
Preach!
Agreed, I also own more than most of my local gun stores and I only own 1, trust me I want more lol
@@IRONMIKE883 they're becoming more and more available. I've seen p07/09 and the p10 lineup in multiple stores and in greater numbers as they expand their US market
Absolutely! A must do list.
p226 legion SAO 9mm!!!!!!!!!! #1.... red dot or not all personal preference tho the red dot tends to give an advantage
Update: The Best P320 Variant was the Legion, until the P320 Spectre Comp arrived. Best Regards
the best P320 variant is the P220
I would love to see more company specific videos. Especially for Dan Wesson (which Is unfortunetely unaviable here in Czech republic) also for CZ and HK.
Now an HK video I would love to see.
id. love a point man 9.
Great info! I give considerable support to disabled vets, children's hospitals and some 2a orgs.... great you support homeless shelters....I have a number of 10mm, 9mm single action pistols and single action 45 revolvers....must say I spend more time reloading than shooting....love sig, dw and ruger pistols....carry sig 365 xl...all the best...sp
Great list! Love the x5 legion and the 365s. I think I’d have had to include the 229. Especially the enhanced elite with extended beaver tail and srt trigger. It’s an absolute beast!
Agreed
Or the 229 Pro
Hi - I've been watching your videos for a while now and enjoy them greatly. I also wanted to say "Respect to you" for helping others. I'm in London, England.
“I accidentally wore my farting shoes”
I mean, don’t call it an accident when it was on purpose. Own it. Gotta have comic relief snd all
Nice list! My list with the 3 Sig pistols I have experience with, P365 I carry the most since I retired, the P226 which was a duty gun for 13 years, and the P320 which replaced the 226. Not a pistol but the MCX shoots sweet also but is more of a pain to field strip than an AR. Thanks for the video!
I own Sig's because they fit my hands best. I have shot many manufactures, models and caliber variants of some. Best out of the box trigger I have ever felt was an SP2022. I have 2, one in 9mm the other in 357SIG. My first Sig was a P226. Still have in. Bought at the Rod & Gun Club while stationed in W.Germany (at the time) and it had the import stamp from Herndon, VA. My current CCW is my P228 with TruGlo TFO sights and 17 round P226 mags with the XGrip mod. Hard to beat the old school classic P series pistols with the folded carbon steel slides IMO. I also have a Zurich Polizei turn in P225. Little disappointed the S2022 got no mention. It is the BEST and most undermarketed gun and for a long time available for under $500
Hands down one of the best pistols so I have 2 as well.
Better accuracy, P210 or P226 Legion? Too bad the P210 is only single stack. Apparently, a double stack mag isn't made for the P210?
Great vid as always.
My top 5 Sigs:
1) P229 Legion RXP
2) P220 SAO 10mm
3) MK25
4) P220 Combat
5) P356 XL
Good List.
Most folks overlook the 210.
I made IDPA "M" with the same 226 I took to the academy.
Still learning about all the new X5 / 320 options. Loved your piece together.
Grew up firing revolvers, fell in love with 1911 .45 ACP when I got a little older. Issued and trained with P-226 as a sidearm in the military. A friend brought 2gen P-250 to the range one day, and I put beaucoup rounds through it and fell in love with the action and trigger. I bought one that same day. That was 12 years ago, love the modularity of this handgun. Bought the wife one too. It is my EDC in .40 compact, but I can convert to full size in an instant. One other thing it is an all weather nail driver.
Love these videos great job
I'm a new gun owner. Researched for a year and shot a bunch of guns. I purchased a P226 MK25. Yes, I paid a little extra for the anchor symbol cause my dad was in the USN. It's so much fun to shoot it and so comfortable in my hand. Your videos are great. I found them very helpful in my process. Keep them coming!
Thanks Chris..love your channel.
Very good list, love my Sigs, P220 is an awesome weapon in .45acp, I may be the only person i know who put an xl slide on the P365 frame, but with 10, 12, and 15 round mags, grip length is then very flexible. Thanks for the review.
I first carried a P226 as a cop back in the 1980’s. I loved it before the department forced us to go to G17 for few parts to stock for a couple of thousand of us. I seem to remember that the P210 came with a European mag release in the 1980’s in either 9mm, .38 super auto, or .45ACP. Shot the P320 at Sig’s instructor course in Epping in 2017. All great guns to shoot.
Just became a Patron. I personally have 8 Sig Pistols. My Top 5 almost exactly. 1. MK25 like the legion P226 but I modified my mk 25 with a SRT, Better Grips, and trigger. 2. P220 late 1970s West German made P220 45acp, Just added a Houge grip and it shoots like a laser, and it is a vintage. 3. M11A1 (P228/229) just a perfect Hammer fire compact. Not many bells or whistles (SRT pre installed and smoothest non 1911 trigger imho) but just a great firearm. 4. MY custom 320. It is the best thing about the 320 you can Frankenstein it to make a Monster. 5. P365xl Wife's favorite carry pistol , added the romeo dot. I think best CC firearm. Great work. HONOARABLE MENTION I am working on a P210 now looking forward to completing. Keep it up
I am a Sig P320 and P365 Armorer and I love this list. I currently have an X-Five with Custom Shop FCU, 365XL with a Romeo Zero, Stock 320 TX Ranger Edition, and my 320 Custom Build 320 Custom shop FCU, Wilson Combat Grip module, Pro Cut slide and a Delta Point Pro optic. I own quite a few handguns, and if I had to run out of the house with just one gun, it would be my X-Five. By far the smoothest firearm I own. Now if I could just get the trigger as good as those in my Caniks, it would be the perfect gun. I'm getting closer to the Canik level trigger, not quite there yet. Love your videos. You almost always seem to get it right. Great job.
As owner of P320s and a P365, love your list! Loved that you picked the FCU as #1.
There's only one Sig handgun I own and it's probably among their most affordable and that's the SP2022. I just got it this year and after more than 2 decades of .45 handgun ownership, I finally joined the 9mm club. I decided to get this to have an alternative ammo option in case .45 became too scarce or too expensive as I can shoot about 3 rds of 9mm for the cost of 2 .45 ACP. The SP2022 is fun to shoot and is pretty accurate. The 15 rd mags are a good capacity and it came with three mags which was great considering the cost of buying extras of those.
The sp 2022 is awesome I got one in .40s&w
I have the SP2022 in .40, as well. I like the trigger on that better than the one on my p220.
Love that the 365 made the list! You are not wrong, so many people have them!
Just picked up a 229 elite and I love it.
Great reviews on guns! One of the best and was nice to meet you at the shootout! Great shooter and down to earth person. I bought a pdp because of you and love the gun! Keep up the good work!
My carry rig is a Sig P365XL ROMEOZERO in a Crossbreed Super Tuck holster with a combat cut paired with Speer Gold Dot JHP 124 grain + P ammo. This rig is hard to beat!
My 4 sigs: p220 legion in .45, p226 legion in .357 sig, p227 in .45, and a p229 in 9mm. I'm torn between the 226 and 227 for my favorite.
I've been a Sig fan since the day I had the opportunity to shoot the P229!!! Love them too death!!
Sigs are a lot of fun with their mix & match modularity. Currently running a 365XL with a Spectre slide, custom stippled grip and True Precision threaded barrel and 507K optic. Almost as concealable as the 365. As I recall the grip was too short for you. You might check out XL Tactical's basepads for the standard and 15 round mags. Smooths out the contour of the 15 round and ads some hook and about 4mm extra length to the standard mag.
Definitely agree, great platform choices here. I blame the P226 SAO for my current Signess. Definitely would want to see your take on your favorite CZ's as well.
My Signess involves the P226 sa/da.
Man I was hoping to see the AXG scorpion on this list. Everybody who shoots mine immediately falls in love with it. But after watching this…I need that pro cut P226 to add alongside it.
I have the AXG Custom (Black on Black) and the trigger is phenomenal. The Scorpion undoubtedly has to be great, especially for the 2nd cool factor!
Yup the axg is tits. Best sig to date since an rmr will Mount directly to the slide without losing BUIS
Scorpion is definitely on my list to add to the collection
Excellent video! The #1 fire control unit option with build it how you want it is so impressive and offers so many variables. Great job!
I'm just seeing this; however, I think it's one of your best videos I've watched. Granted, I'm partial to Sig, having two P226s and a P365.
IMHO, compared to other pistols I have owned / own, I always like what Sig delivers. (Others in my past / present, XD9 Subcompact, M&P compact, Glock 33 & 36, and a few others.)
Being in a hot state, concealed carry is more difficult if it's over 80 degrees teen months of of the year.
Thanks for the great video. 🙏
Own a few Sigs myself but the P229 Legion RX is my favorite and in my carry rotation. Great shooter. 🤙🏽
I'm about to buy a p229 enhanced elite next week, just waiting on the store to receive it from sig. I would absolutely love the legion but because I'm in CA I can't buy it new.. it is one of my dream handguns!
planning on buying the P320 model myself to not only carry to the range (thanx to an abundance of 9mm ammo), but to conceal carry (now that I not only have a carry permit, but also a good holster for it)
Wow.
The first 2 Sigs I bought are on this list.
Good info.
Delivered with succinct confidence and professionalism.
Highly recommend your channel to others.
GREAT VIDEO BROTHER!!! I have 3 of the 6. Great list.
I like that you updated your pricing on the FCU since you made your most recent P320 video with your custom build. I got 2 of them for 350 each and built to fantastic guns that aren't quite the xcompact but close and not quite the XF but close. I really enjoyed the experience of assembling them and customizing them using the Wilson Combat grip or the Icarus Precision grip, there's just everything out there for it and you can make it whatever you want, want a carry option? No problem. Want to make a competition gun, grab the X5 grip and you're on your way. Great GRV Chris, I'm a fan of your stuff and actually bought my P07 and p10s off your recommendations so thanks again to you and Mrs. Outlaw for all you do. You guys are a great team.
I’d love to see a series of these videos! Glock, S&W, CZ, do all of them.
I carried the P 229 for a long time on the job and now carry my own when off duty. Best gun I've ever had. I've also had a couple 239's, one (older model) that I liked a lot and one (newer model) not so much.
LOVE my Sig P320 X Full, added the Sig Romeo 1 Pro and love it even more.
I only own Sig’s. I absolutely love my
P365 X, P365 XL and my beautiful Limited Edition P320 AXG Classic with the walnut wood grip 💯
😊 I’m a Sig fan so I like this. I own P365SAS, P356XL, P238, P938 Legion, P320 Compact, and the P2022 and love them all. But I do own other guns that I like too - such as the Kimber 45ACP ultra II 3” which is my current favorite …but I’m fickle. 😂
Great review I loved it.
I’d really love to see an H&K pistol video, but that video might be a little long. As H&K’s are generally awesome!
Love the 226 sao.
Mt favorite Sig Pistol hands down is the P225-A2. It's a poor man's Sig Legion pistol. They used the enhancements of this pistol and figured out that they could add the enhancements and the Legion moniker to the other pistols and make some extra cash. They also liked the idea of a smaller all metal pistol and figured out they would produce the P320 with an all metal slide and give it an AXG suffix. This was the pistol that spurred additional innovations with their other products.
Great video I personally rated the P226 higher on the list but I'm happy it was in the top 5
My favorite Sig pistol was a 239 I bought back in 1996 that was 357 sig/ 40 and it was the best pistol I've ever owned. I was in the in the scoring area on a target at 50 yards and have never been able to do that with another pistol. I regret selling that pistol.
My buddies at the range say my 239 in 357Sig shoots like a laser lol. Incredibly accurate. I will never sell…
I have a 239 in 9mm SAS version. Very nice shooter.
I have a p250 and i love it, never jams and is very easy to shoot. Plus the modularity of it is very cool. I love that the 320 and 250 use the fcg being the legal part of the gun and allows caliber barrel grip change is epic.
Agreed...I have one too.
An underrated gun
i have a 226 legion SAO. the quality is amazing. it shoots so well. amazing trigger.
After owning many brand 9mm pistols k bought a SIg 1911 in 10 mm auto for bear country (5” barrel, night sights) and it has become my everyday carry in the waistband at almost 5 lbs loaded it is heavy but it’s sight plane and accuracy makes comfortable and confident.
Thanks outlaw you inspired my sig build
I don't believe this video was called "The Top 5 9mm Pistols", he titled it "Top 5 Sig Sauer Pistols", keep up the good honest videos Outlaw.
I'd like to see top 5 Beretta, including Wilson Combat and Langdon Tactical Beretta. The APX is also module like the Sig 320
You the man Outlaw!
@HonestOutlaw love the list as a fan of the channel and Federal Officer your take on different firearms is just on point. Keep up the great work on all things 2A.
I'm glad I found your reviews again.
I have a Sig P220. It’s an oldy, but goldy. I have had it for awhile, and love it. I wish it was a double stack, but unfortunately it doesn’t come that way in .45. I equipped it with a red dot laser sight built into the grip, and love it. Not my EDC gun due to the size, but a great home defense gun, or a spare carry for the truck. The stock P365 is my favorite carry gun, hands down.
Always good stuff and interesting takes. Love the FCU as No. 1 as well.
1 swiss sig p210. petters patent.
2 first x5. built on a 226. much better than the recent versions
3 browning bda. the one i bought in 1977. a very early 220 that browning imported before sig sold anything in the us. slightly thinner and lighter than what sig started importing around 1980.
4 365. a great little cary piece.
5 everything else meh. true i’m an old fud but the quality of my antique colts, winchesters and smith and wessons are so much better than anything built recently.
that being said i really enjoy your channel and it’s nice to see some of the new high quality pistols coming from some of the small shops.
@HonestOutlawReviews Have you tried the P220? It is amazing! You cannot be a Sig fan without at least trying it!!! Love your content!
Another EXCELLENT VIDEO Chris !!! Sig has it ALL OVER THE COMPETITION...
GREAT video, as per usual.
Got to add my own list, even though this came out a year ago and therefore no one will see this. In no particular order...
1.) P226 TacOps, 40sw
15+ rounds, night sight with fiber optic front, ability to switch caliber to 357Sig with a simple barrel swap. The ONLY firearm I own that everyone who's fired it have asked if I wanted to sell it (no).
2.) P227 TacOps
14+1 of 45acp in basically the same package as the P226 above - whats not to love??
3.) P365 TacOps
(Seeing a trend here??)
Same as the standard P365, with 3 12rd mags (got no use for the 10rd mags, sorry).
4.) M1A1 (P229)
Smaller version of a P226, dead-nuts reliable like all of the hammer-fired P series Sigs, and just looks cool (mine is in green).
5.) MPX - I don't own one, but I sure wish that I did!
The FCU felt like a copout since you already had a 320 in the list. But I'll allow it, because your reasoning behind it makes perfect sense. The Modular Handgun System was made specifically because the US Military wanted a handgun that was as modular and versatile as the M4. And it comes damn close! If not for the fact that the takedown safety lever has to be swapped out if you want to go between 9mm and 45acp/10mm, it'd be perfect. You can still go between 9mm and 357, but it sure would be nice if Sig made some updated parts that made swapping to the larger calibers on the same FCU easier.
226 Legion SAO is my favorite sig, and ALMOST makes me like it more than a 92, but the 92x performance still tops this for recoil impulse.
Good to know!
So a $650 92x over a 226 legion.. really? I wonder how a Langdon tactical 92x decked out would compare.
@@DDRDKYou're probably thinking of the 92x FS. The 92x Performance goes for around $1399
@@thelastcopier there’s no such thing as the 92X FS. They make the 92 FS. The 92X is the newest standard model with a changed grip and few other things. The “92X performance” is a different model. Person above said 92X not 92X performance.
And no 92 “FS” is does not designate full size.
This is why I was curious. If they liked a standard 92X over a 226 legion then shit ain’t no sense spending legion money. Now I’m itching more to try them both.
Both excellent pistols. I wouldn't be able to choose if I'm being honest.
I was really hoping for the SP 2022 to be on this list. One of my favorite sig guns at an affordable price
Mine as well.
I own the 365xl with a red dot on it. I love it
Great video sir I just got the Sig P320 XCarry Legion one of the best sig pistols I have ever shot and I own the P229 Legion and the P226 MK25, keep up the great job luv your reviews
Awesome list ! I’m happy a couple of mine made your list 🤙🏻
Fantastic list! And I concur with your number one pick. Too many people are sleeping on the amazing modularity of the Sig P320.
Love to see you review the "Bastard" SIG that gets no love after the 320 series came out. One of my favorites SIG's, the P2022!
I know this is an older video but that info on the fire control unit was so dope bro. I had no idea that was possible ; thank you for the knowledge!
Love SIGS, before the 365 I carried the P938 and P238 and both are still great guns. Thanks for the videos, love them!
Thanks for confirming my choices. I have a 365XL and P320 Legion. With the FCU from the Legion, I boughted complete uppers along wire a new grip and now have a M17 + M18. And yes I love in one of those awful states. But won't retire here. Thanks for sharing. Now I want a 226.
Great list! I agree with the P226 SAO Legion. I have the original SAO, which is nice. When I wanted to upgrade the trigger, I was informed that the Legion trigger wasn't available as a standalone, so I broke down and bought the Legion. The trigger is much better, even after a trigger job on my original. Also agree with the 365 choice. I have an XL with a very inexpensive spring job, which makes the reset much better. Very accurate, especially for a carry gun. The P210 is also excellent, I think you would have enjoyed the target model (which I have) even more. Obviously I love my Sigs, so I won't burden anyone with the other ones I own. LOL
Great insight with the top pick. Worthy of a deeper look at the Sig website
My first handgun purchased was a P226 back in 92 (still have it). Sigs feel comfortable and I shoot them well. Not a fan of the Legion line, seems like a marketing thing to make more money (IMO). My current favorite is my P226 Navy aka Mark-25, that Navy anchor on the slide looks cool.
I’d like to see a beretta video with hopefully emphasis on LTT (PX4 and or 92/M9)! Or better yet, one video of beretta and then another with only LTT’S!
Go to Lnagdon Tactical.....awesome.....I have an LTT.....OUTSTANDING!
I really liked this idea and the fire control unit is my kind of pistol! Thank you for making it, I haven't been a subscriber very long but have come to really enjoy the channel.
My list is strictly mine.
1.p365. The ultimate subcompact carry. Much more accurate than my g43 and g48s. Light with lots of firepower.
2. P250 9mm. Sweet DAO trigger. I can’t miss with this thing. It’s just stupid accurate and reliable. Please hate these guns so I can pick them up for cheap on gunbroker.
3 sp2022 9mm fde da/sa. It’s essentially a polymer 226. Lighter and still a very nice da/sa trigger. 100 percent reliable and much more affordable. Easy to carry for a duty gun.
4. P226 legion 9mm da/sa. So freaking heavy when doing a full load out with spare mags on your belt. For me, it’s just a range toy. 100 percent reliable. So heavy there’s little muzzle flip.
5. Sig 1911 feeding/jamming issues. Not that impressed. A rock island 1911 is more reliable.
6. P226 in .40. Even heavier. With spare mags, it gives your duty belt a hernia. Very nice shooter. 100 percent reliable. Only a range toy for me.
Great list
Been a Sig armorer since the 1990's. Wasn't a huge fan and I had shot a bunch. I kept hearing about the P320 AXG Pro so I bought one. Seriously. I can hit a small target at 60+ yards fast fire. Easy to hit a standard target say B21E from 100 + no problem standing. Very impressed and now my carry gun. Back when I went to academy you had 6 shots at 50 yards in the kill zone 3 must be in the center or back to the front of the line and start over.
Very nice review, brother. As an LEO, I carry my Sig Sauer p226 Elite on and off duty. Anywhere I go, I packed my Sig p226 Elite with Mec Gar 18rds. I put many rounds thru it and have never had any gun failure yet. Hopefully, it is gonna be that way. I love Sig P226 and P228.
I’ve had the P365 for a couple years and it is my favorite. I was especially disappointed that the SP2022 was not included. Great feel and balance and excellent trigger pull. I have mine in .40.
Dislike the sp2022 idk feels cheap remindes me of a tourus or something n wat to many controls on it
All I want on my carry gun is a mag release and a slide stop
@@jerstolp1 Too many? All it has extra is a decocking lever, common with many pistols that are not striker fired.
Once loaded, no way do you want to be walking around with the hammer cocked back while holstered. It releases the hammer without it striking the firing pin, and makes the trigger double-action again for the first shot.
I’m going to assume you’re either young and only dealt with striker-fired pistols or are new to handguns. Is that the case? I ask because instead of maligning one utterly reliable and well-balanced pistol, instead recognize there are a large number of handguns from multiple manufacturers that have either decockers or decocking safeties. They are nothing that gets in the way of the firing process and nothing you’d worry about if needing to use the weapon. I hope that helped a bit with your knowledge. 😊
Is that a sig pro?
@@george2113 Yes.
