I have the 226 SAO legion. It is about as perfect as a full-size 9 mm pistol can be. In fact, for me, it is essentially a double stack 9 mm 1911 that is easier to take down and clean. The night sights, the beaver tail, the undercut, the grips, the extremely short reset, the point ability, combined with a the best trigger of any non 1911 out there, make it one of my favorite pistols. It is just excellent. Thanks for the video

And the only thing better is the full size 226 SAO RXP Legion. It’s very much an affordable 1911 type; my Nighthawk Shadowhawk 1911 in 9mm with Trijicon RMR is just as great, but it is a pain to clean simply because the slide to frame fit is so tight. It sometimes takes me 10 minutes to find the exact spot where the slide stop will slide out.

I own a 226 legion. That double action is smooth, and the single action is perfect. Such a fun gun to shoot.

I absolutely love my P229 Legion. All the ergonomics and the way it sits in my med/LG hands. Worth the extra few dollars to get over the Nitron version.

I had a P320 Full, and now a P320 X5 Legion. It's a night and day difference between the two. The trigger is a lot more positive in the Legion, and the added weight of the TXG grip really helps the fun feel controllable and connected. I have a P226R and two P226 Legion SAO's. The difference between the two is staggering. The checkering on the front of the grip just feels more comfortable AND grippy. The sights are massively upgraded, the trigger, while a little unfair to compare a DA/SA and SAO trigger, is the difference between an $8 steak from Denny's and a dry aged rib eye. The standard trigger is fine, especially for a duty type gun, the double action pull is heavy, you are not ready for how heavy that pull is, the single action pull is fine, but not great. The SAO Legion is a crisp break. If you can afford a Legion, it is 100% worth it. Or you can just do what I do... and buy them all because I hate money.

I ended up adding a Wilson Combat grip module and weights to my 320, which feels great if you like that 1911 shape. Also added a Sig flat enhanced skeletonized trigger which brings the pull weight down to around 4-4.5 lbs and makes it notably crisper on the break (it's the XFive Legion trigger). While I'm sure it's not quite the same, it gets those with a non-Legion P320 in the same ballpark. Gotta love the modularity of the platform!

Thanks Caleb for the great video! I have been on the fence for a long time about getting a Legion. This video pushed me over the edge. I didn’t realize the Legion had Grey. Guns’ triggers. Can’t wait to place my order

Thank you for taking the time to provide this information and advice

One of those videos I didn't know I needed but glad to watch

Got a 229 Legion. Love it. It’s best friends with my Beretta 92fs.

Caleb, thanks for the rundown on the differences between the Legion and the standard SIG. I've been using SIGs as police patrol guns since the 80's, and now I have a P226 in retirement. I've concluded that absolutely none of the Legion features are a necessity for me, nor would they influence, in my opinion, the course of a police or civilian gun fight. Other's opinions may vary and that is fine, it is their money. But my 2008 police trade-in P226 does have a feature I find myself using all the time, and that is that it shoots four different calibers. Mine started life as a .40 purchased in good shape for $350 with working night sights, to which I rather quickly added a factory .357 SIG barrel, and then found a brand new, almost unobtainable SIG Caliber X-Change Kit for 9mm and another one (used) for .22lr. So for less than the price of a P226 Legion, I have a P226 that shoots four calibers. I like the .40 with heavy bullets for home defense, the .357 SIG for an outdoors and long range gun, the 9mm for club level IDPA events, and the .22 LR for cheap practice and training new shooters. Included in my budget was a SIG branded P226 CO2 air pistol, which is super-realistic and allows me to practice at home indoors when I can't get to the range. About the only pistol I like as well is my Beretta 92X Compact. Trying to choose between them is like trying to decided which of your kids you love more. But if I had to sell one, I'd keep the SIG. As mine is configured, it will simply do more.

Thanks Caleb, great info!

Short and objective review, appreciated. My EDC P229 Legion 9mm Shootability is amazing across the board, ergonomics, sights, trigger. Worth carrying every extra ounce 💪🏼🇺🇸

I do believe I may have seen a bit of fumbling with the small slide release on the Legion 😊 but personally I can overlook this minor detail in the pistol design, given so many other advantages that justify the higher price.

I gave up finding an affordable P229 in 357 SIG, then stumbled on one last weekend and laid it away. Used, 40 S&W, place had a new 357 SIG barrel they included. No case, one mag. I can tell you what it isn't, but no info, including from Sog, exactly what it IS. Not a Legion. Doesn't look like an Elite, or Nightmare. One of the original models, rounded corners, which doesn't seem to have a name. Not sure what kind of trigger. My guess is it is DAK, but until I pick it up and shoot it, not sure. Any advice from SIG shooters is welcome.

I currently own and daily Cary a P229 Legion and I love this gun accuracy is fantastic and looks are amazing. Mine also has holster character but in my opinion that is part of the beauty.

It is worth every cent. Mine handle is a bit agressive but not a problem. Never had any problem manipulating the controls. The best part is the trigger. That short travel was a bit strange when I first handled it at the shop, but with time come to appreciate. The trigger is very good and makes the pistol a joy to shoot as accuracy and feeling too.

The (slightly) more affordable P226/P229 Elite series has a similar undercut and checkering, with a slightly longer beavertail, and the short reset trigger (which debuted on the Elite). SRT not to be confused with the factory GG trigger on the Legion.

I have a 30-year old Sig P-228 (I bought it new). I love the pistol and wouldn't trade or sell it for anything. I carried a P-226 as a police officer and hated to turn it in when I retired.

That slide catch is not meant as a slide release. I've had company reps and Sig armorers strongly recommend to build a habit of retracting the slide and releasing it after a reload. I have a pair of P220's and always carried them for LE duty. Feel free to debate me internet commandos, but that was the proper way, and will extend the life of the part immensely.

I have owned and edc'd a 226 Elite Platinum for over 2 years. Probly my fav firearm of all time, hands down.

i own 2 SIG P226s, one original version with "West-Germany"-markings, aluminium frame and extractor on the inside the other one with steel frame, pic rail, newer extractor design. I am very happy with both of them - although i got both used: accurate und reliable! A few years ago i had the chance to handle a new legion and was pretty dissapointed: it rattled if you shook it on a closed slide! An absolute no go for me in that price category!

I have a P229 Legion in 40/357 SIG. I also have a P229 Elite in 9mm. There is a difference. I prefer the grip on the Legion, and use it as a carry gun pretty regularly, mostly with the 357 SIG barrel. I use the P229 Elite for 3gun competition mostly.

Yesterday at a range in New Hampshire, using my P226 Legion SAO RXP, I put three rounds in the center (1 3/4”) of a VTEC B8 target at 25 yards, and three more in a line right next to each other just above the center. It’s a very accurate gun, and I mentioned elsewhere, Robert at The Sig Armorer did a competition trigger job on this gun, reducing the trigger weight to 1 pound 12 ounces. Best Regards.

Heck, you're Caleb with Brownell's. I wouldn't expect you to have a regular anything. I'm a cheap old basxxxx is the only reason I didn't buy a Legion 229 when they first came out. Alas, other guns have long since sucked up that cash I had put back for a Legion. But I still got my Glock 40 Problem Solva (it says YEET on the side, that's how you know).

I have the a May 2019 P220 Legion 10mm which is a DREAM to shoot and that Hammer, Trigger and internals where not the Standard MIM parts but Tool Steel so I started to research who made the those parts for SIG. After doing so research I found that Sig was using a Kit distributed by Cylinder and Slide who has a long history of collaboration with SIG going back to the SIG Blackwater 1911 Pistol that was the Predecessor to the SIG 1911 TacOps. I purchased three of the Cylinder and Slide SIG Tactical Trigger Kits from Brownells before Brownells Discontinued Carrying the KITS which I hope THEY WILL START to CARRY AGAIN SOON!!!!! I have taken two standard P226 40SW/357SIG and one P220 45acp and upgraded them with the kits plus Trijicon HD night sights, and Hogue G10 checkered Grips and was able to ELEVATE the pistols to 95 percent of LEGION Capability. I recently pick up a Police Trade in P227 in Excellent Condition and I am planning to give it the DIY LEGION treatment the only thing this pistol is going to be missing is going to be the Medium Size Beavertail because the P227 came with everything else and I wish that SIG would Re-Introduce a Steel Frame Version in 10mm with a 5 inch barrel which would not be that hard to do since the P227 and P220 45acp/10mm slides are compatible.

I have two Legion's, 320 X5 and the 229. Both are great pistols but the 320 X5 is a fantastic shooter!

Have you done a video on steel cased rounds damaging extracters or other parts from use ? Or a video on how far certains rounds go? I saw somewhere about how handgun ammo can go as far as one mile in a safety rules of safe gun handling.

The Sig classic P series even with the E2 grips and short reach trigger, just dont work great for me. Now, the P226RX Legion SAO is freaking perfect. What an amazing gun. Oh and just FYI for everyone, Sig will install the XRay 3 night sights when you send in your pistol for the full service package.

Considering the ELS from them too to see if that makes a difference too. However, the trigger really isn’t that bad. My biggest complaint is the extra hump of G10 on the left side. I almost want to get a second pair of grips and sand it down to slim it up a little bit

... I have a P220 Legion in 10mm and when I let friends fire the pistol I have to do two things: one, get the jaws of life to pry the gun from their hands and two, get ahold of a plastic surgeon to get that permanent "ear to ear" smile of of their face! The gun is just that good and worth every penny ...

I have a .22lr conversion slide for my legion, it is just heaven to shoot.

Trigger reset on legion is absolutely brilliant.

Great firearms the 226 is the pinnacle of handguns in 9 mm. Tank is the best way to think of it.

I have a P220 Nitron 45 ACP and a P220 Legion 10mm. The sights are the same on both so that's a wash. I like the controls on the Nitron better so I'm putting the Nitron slide release in the Legion. I'm also putting the E2 grip upgrade kit, and the short trigger on both. The Nitron doesn't have the SRT in it so the it will get that upgrade kit as well. The one thing I don't like about the P220 Legion 10mm that there is apparently no fix for is the very weak black coating on the magazines. I'd just as soon have the stainless steel magazines that the P220 45 ACP takes. Just my opinion, both are good guns but neither are what I consider good to go out of the box. What would be nice is if Sig would offer a custom shop al la carte where a gun can be ordered with everything you want and nothing you don't.

I have a 226 and a 220 legion... I have a 228, m11a11, 224, 227, and a 226. To be blunt the legions are very overpriced and underwhelming from the factory IMHO. But where they truly shine is in the aftermarket, you can take any sig and make it easily better than a legion. But you can truly make a world class pistol from a legion. After pulling most of the aftermarket parts I had in my 226 and putting them into my legion, it gave me goosebumps on how good it became. Followed with getting the 220 kitted out. That being said I'm now in the process of selling my 224 227 and 226 as they have been replaced with a 365 and the legions. Though if I speak to someone and they right now asked me for a hammer pistol... I'd point them to a Jericho or a Tanfoglio. A 941 with a trigger kit is not only cheaper, but will outshoot almost anything sig has to offer... A witness match or some of the even higher spec options are what a legion should feel like, and it comes in at about 400 to 500 cheaper...

I love my 226 SAO legion it’s great! 226 is the best Sig ever.

I didnt know the differences were so significant

I bought a p229 Elite recently. Quality control is slipping at Sig; the safety lock within the slide is out of spec, protruding down and ultimately hitting, scraping the rails. Sent the gun in for warranty this week, but initially the rep said there was nothing wrong with it, just to oil it more…

Planning to get the P226 Legion since the release. I am actually very hopeful that Sig will reintroduce the P227 in a 15 round 10mm and offer it in the Legion package. If/when they do I will make that purchase happen asap.

I have an old 229P 40sw (serial # AB#####) and love it. No upgrades on it. Just wishing Commifornia would as allow the Legion's here.

I carry a 229 Legion and have for years now. But I think the trigger on a 227 I had Grey Guns work over is better.

Love my P229 Legion SAO...love my P229 Enhanced Elite...love ALL my Sigs! lol

You forgot to tell about the changes on the slide ,inside it doesn’t have the removable block that breaks the roll pin this one is milled like a 1911 I just put 1000 threw mine and love this gun.
