Now IN ! Sig 226 Long Dust Cover (LDC) Now Shipping To Dealers!!

[gdawg]

Can MD Charlton or anyone in the know explain why those LDC's that came in recently have the plain P226 "Legacy" grips instead of the E2 grips that comes standard on the LDC from the Sig GmbH factory?

i was wondering that as well. There was a swap somewhere. Frankly though, I prefer the legacy grips

If you check the first post of this thread, you will see the list of features includes 'hand-stippled legacy grips'. I have not seen the gun in person yet, but I will be relieved if it does not have the E2 grips. I despise the E2 grips.

I've seen the pistol and they don't have the E2's. Some dealers have listed the pistol with E2's and others with the Legacy. I guess that the ones that came in had them E2's swapped to Legacy grips when the got here. Hope the dealers that have the description wrong will make correction so no one is deceived about not getting what they ordered.

I've seen one now--does have the legacy grips, very similar to those on the old style X Five Tactical. It is a very nice pistol!

I shot my LDC yesterday and they have the legacy grips. I don't remember the LDC I on the German site having an E2 grip but I do know the LDC II has the E2 grips now. It is a very close comparison to my X5 allround though and shot them side by side. I must say my X5 narrowly beat it out which is probably attributed to the 5" barrel and longer sight plane. Other than that, the LDC had lower muzzle flip and shorter rest trigger. If the rear sight blade was larger on the LDC for faster target acquisition I might chose the LDC over the X5.

Thanks for the side by side comparison. Is the trigger pull weight lighter on the LDC?

[MustangFrank]

Are there any dealers in B.C. that has one ? Wanstalls ? Reliable ?

Without an actual gauge to measure this, its subjective but it seems the SA is lighter if ever so slightly on the LDC. The LDC DA weight might be a bit more but I honestly wasn't paying attention to DA. I will take better note the next time I'm at the range.
