With all the crummy news today, I figured I should take my latest addition to the safe out for a quick shoot. That latest addition happens to be a nice new P220 Legion in my 2nd favourite pistol calibre: 10mm.
Obviously the Legion has great fit and finish, and feels like a rather premium gun. In saying that, I think it will take some getting used to. The slide stop is quite tiny compared to any other Sig I have, and while the X-Ray sights allow for quick acquisition, they certainly took some getting used to vs. the classic Von Stavenhagen sights on all my other Sigs.
Overall, I really like the aggressive G10 grips and substantial front strap checkering. They certainly make gripping the gun more manageable while chucking boulders downrange. The weight of the gun is certainly no joke, being 44 oz. It does not feel out of balance, though, and it certainly soaks up the recoil. The P-SAIT trigger is also top notch.
I'm a firm believer in only shooting standard power 10mm, none of this downloaded 'mildly hotter than .40" crap. So I shot Sig Elite 180 gr. FMJ, and Buffalo Bore Heavy Outdoors 220 gr cast, with 624 ft lbf and 703 ft lbf, respectively.
Once I figured out my sights and aiming, this gun was honestly great to shoot, and incredibly accurate. I found the Sig Elite ammo very manageable to shoot, and reasonably easy to string multiple shots with decent accuracy. The Buffalo Bore was certainly manageable, however if I had to string shots with any speed into a small target it would be quite difficult for me.
All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase. It will absolutely be replacing my Glock 20 as my 10mm go to, and may even make an appearance at a 3 Gun competition this summer. Set the big popper at any angle you like, the 10mm hammer of Thor will knock er down!
