Sig Sauer Introduces Legion Series

Bartok5 said:
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.

Just like Achilles heel...
 
Why not just buy a p226R and get Trijicon HD sights, grayguns p-sait trigger, p224 controls, hogue grips (Of your choosing) and send it in for the action enhancement package? Almost all of the features of the legion without the silly beaver tail, and you can play around with the customization a bit (grip selection, front sight color).

By the time you do all that, you will have spent more money. Also, I happen to like the beavertail.

I don't believe you can purchase the Legion SAO trigger at this time. As far as the Grayguns DA/SA trigger, where are these available in Canada? Sending it to him will take several months.
 
This is true about the SAO trigger, I was referring to the DA/SA. I had a friend in the US order my grayguns trigger and p224 controls and just shipped them up here. Took two weeks and $19 in customs fees.

I personally despise the beavertail but to each their own.

That could work, minus the nice grips, grey PVD, X-ray sights (better than trijicon IMO), and the boner you get from having a legion.

All jokes aside, it could work. I don't know that it would be any cheaper though.
 
I shot one yesterday. Pretty nice hand gun. It's a cross between a 1911 and a P226. Very, very nice trigger. The safety is well positioned and easy to use but might get in the way of the slide release if you have a shorter thumb.
 
So did anyone get the challenge coin and cool case from MD?

I am thinking of dropping coin on one but no point if we can't get the legion goodies up here!!!!

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, both of the P226 versions are well worth the cash. You really must try them! Bruce Gray trigger!

I know, my buddy has one.

But $1750 + Tax is a good chunk of change and I want to know I will be getting the full Legion experience.

Do you own one? Did you get your case + coin?

Thanks,

I do own one. No case or coin yet, but I have faith that MDC will deliver.

Hoping for a P229 Legion(with threaded barrel) at some point too!
 
I picked my DA/SA last week and I've since put about 250 rounds through it. I have never shot better hoops in my life. I had serious buyers remorse until I made it go bang for the first time. If anyone is still on the fence about these.... Stop it... go buy one now. Lanz Shooting Supplies has them in stock.

These are amazing 226s.
