As near as I can tell from my limit time in the firearms community each shipment that the Canadian distributors and retail locations get is a little like Christmas. They know they're getting something is coming but they dont know what they've actually got until they open it.
MD Charlton would be the only ones that can speak to when they expect to get another shipment. And that date will only be they're current estimate.
I know that there are a few people on the waiting list at my range to get a Legion and in my opinion it is a gun worth waiting for.
I was happy to pay the higher price for the additional features. All the improvments are based on feedback that SIG was provided from people that use their product as part of their daily job.
The Greyguns trigger is a step up from the ones in my P226 Dark Elites and it still retains the short reset for the SA/DA model. It looks like the trigger upgrade alone is a $200-300 USD add on.
The modifications to the grip and trigger guard allow for a better grip. The high viz sights are easier to pick up than any of my other SIG iron sights.

We'll try and answers a bunch of questions all at once here:
1. IOP for this year does not include the Legion series. Things could change for 2017, but its hard to predict.
2. The P229 requires a 106mm barrel or a threaded barrel for it to be registered as Restricted in Canada. Sig does not currently offer the Legion 229 with a threaded barrel and the extended barrel is only ever produced for the Canadian market. Since demand is way outstripping supply for the standard offerings, getting a special run of either a threaded barrel or an extended barrel is not in the immediate plans. We will try and get something together for later this year or next.
3. We have been getting Legions, but it has been a slow trickle. We hope to fill more dealer orders later in the month, but we are at the mercy of production and as I indicated above, demand worldwide is vastly outstripping supply. Rest assured, we are doing what we can to bring in as many as possible. If you want one, I would seek out a dealer near you and get one on pre-order. Given the demand, we think it will be a while before they are simply sitting on the shelf waiting for you.
4. We are sorting out the details on the Case and Coin. If you have purchased a legion product, please email dealers@mdcharlton.ca with your details and we will register you for it. Once we have them in-country we will send them out. We are also sorting out how to access the rest of the legion product line. We are hoping to have a Canadian website for registrations and product up and running so that this can all be handled domestically. Stay tuned for further details.
thanks for your interest!

I think the only one I saw in stock was CRAFM and they were charging a 200$ premium above everyone else. If you know a dealer that has one I would appreciate a PM.

What should be the street price for this pistol?

1700-1849$ depending on who it's through but seems like prices are going up since the retail of the Legions in the states went up to 1399US from 1199US. I was roughly 1950$ by the time I purchased mine w/ tax through Lanz Shooting supplies
I picked up mine for $1749 CAD from Phoenix Indoor Range and Gun Shop in Edmonton. I was fortunate enough to get one of two P226 SAO Legions that they ordered from M.D. Charlton a few months back. The pistol arrived 2 weeks ago and is superb in every regard. It is far, far nicer than the German P226 SA/DA that I had previously. The Trigger release and reset has to be experienced to be believed! The ergos are improved with the undercut trigger guard and semi-beavertail. The G10 grips and steel chequering are excellent and really lock the pistol in your grip without chewing up your skin. I really like the Sig SAO system with the ability to place the pistol on "Safe" regardless of the hammer position.
All things considered, the Sig P226 SAO Legion is pretty close to my ideal in a 9mm fighting handgun. My only criticism of the Legion series would be the finish, which appears to be less than perfect in some instances. With my own pistol, the bottom interior of the Mag Well is anodized (clear) but not PVD-coated the dark "Legion Gray" colour. This must be where a jig held the parts during PVD deposition, thus preventing the coating of those areas. It is a non-issue in terms of function or aesthetics, but is worth noting for the nit-pickers among us! Otherwise, the SIG Legion is pistol perfection.
