Sig 226 Navy Or Legion

Yes, i have tried a friends P226 Legion. I have an Elite Dark and I would not trade it for a Legion. I was not impressed. Mine shot just as well. Ive also shot the LDC. The additional aluminum extension on the dust cover does not increase accuracy by any noticable amount (in my hands).
Legions are also known for having cut corners: forgotten front serrations, slide finish wearing off, etc. And in Canada do Legion owners have access to the Legion Fan Boy store to buy all the swag? Im actually asking as i dont know...
Not to mention the older Elite's have a better beaver tail profile. This is only cosmetic, but the new tails are flat. The older tails have a curve like a 1911.
If you want improved accuracy get an X5, or X6, or a mastershop.
I have heard of some finish concerns, mostly having to do with the PVD coating being thin. No issues with my Legion or my husband's Legion.
MDC is working on the swag part as far as I know.
If you have not fired the SAO version, you really must try it if you have a chance.
The LDC is a completely steel gun, from the master shop. IMO far better gun at a similar price.
Oops, ha you're right, LDC is definitely a full steel frame. Typo on my end. Nevertheless I still didn't shoot it any better than my elite.
The friend I've got had them all lined up on the table and we both tried them all: p226 legion, LDC, x6, and my elite. His X6 was the winner by a very noticeable amount. That thing is a laser beam.
He sold the Legion not long after our little shoot off...

I don't know that the Legion was made to compete in the accuracy department with the X series or LDC- I'm thinking it was made to be more of a perfect carry/combat pistol. I could be wrong, but that was my take on the two that I owned
My X5 Alround is more accurate than my LDC, but my LDC is better than my Legion. The Legion is a production gun with a few add ons. The X guns and the LDC are target pistols.
Well, trigger feel between my Elite and his Legion were pretty much the same (to me). There was no 'wow what a trigger' moment when i was shooting it. but he did not have the SAO version that youve mentioned, so i would actually like to try that to compare. I will have to find a way to convince my friend to get it as its out of my budget for sure. The flat trigger does look cool, ill give you that 
You are spot on Tom. I love my Allround and LDC. I would even consider selling my LDC for the LDC II if they ever come to Canada. Although the LDC is technically a production gun from Germany with some Mastershop items in it, it is still a little more refined for accuracy and trigger feel than the Legion. I want to know how the P320 X-Five compares to the LDC and Allround next.
RC Fan. I knew that you would provide some input on this thread. Do you own an X5/6 SOA? I'm always tempted to pick up a X6 SOA whenever I see an site sponsor's advert.
