Just picked mine up...mine is also missing finish on rails but i dont see rust or whatever like yours. Finish on rail looks to be on purpose as i have seen multiple xfives without finish in that area...this pistol is Bada$$ i love the feel of it the way it sits in hand...gonna go shoot it tomorrow first time....excited af

Good video. I picked mine up a couple of days ago, but I haven't taken it out of the case (standard sig case) yet. At least if you register it you'll get the Legion soft case and coin. I also have the P226 X-Five custom works and I love shooting that one.

That wasn't rust, it was shipping oil. But you're 100% right about the "paint job"... Thats crazy

Well, I didn't have buyer remorse. I'm just freaking disappointed.

That’s what happens to guns with comps it’s gonna get a lot of carbon build up at the end of the day you bought a tool . The rust is frustrating though

Which one do you like better the P226 XFIVE or the P226 XFIVE Legion? If you had to pick one which one would you pick?

@AllenTam

9 ай бұрын

Hand down the P226 XFIVE. Because 1: After 400 rounds, I couldn't tell if the integrated compensator reduced the muzzle flip, helping me to get back on target faster than the P226 XFIVE. Both pistols feel the same. So, the integrated compensator is just a gimmick. To really reduce muzzle flip, mount a comp directly to the barrel. But I am not an expert competition shooter, just an average guy; what the hell do I know, right? I recently installed a Holosun 507 Comp to the XFIVE Legion. I haven't had time to shoot it yet, but I'm sure the optic will help get back on target better than having an integrated compensator. The P226 XFIVE Legion now looks sick with the optic, though; l love it. And I'm considering putting one on the P226 XFIVE, too. 2: I'm a sucker for Stainless. Between the Legion Gray and Stainless, I'll pick the Stainless all day long. The only downside on the P226 XFIVE to me is that it didn't come with a stainless barrel. And I like the P226 XFIVE grip much more. I think both feel the same, so I picked the P226 XFIVE for its aesthetic and accessories included at the time of purchase.

I have this pistol and to be honest, it is the best feeling pistol I have ever shot. Also, I don't think that was rust on the slide. It is most likely oil. A q-ti will wipe that off. Enjoy shooting. This makes it so much more fun than ever before, I think. Cheers.

Thank you very much for this video because picking mine up tomorrow and if anything like the problems you had on the phone and sending right back to Sig!!! I love Sig’s and have a lot of P 220 series and P 320 series and rifles but never ever had problems like this 😩.

My problem with the XFive Legion other people don't have or don't seem to mind. I'm just a very demanding person for that price. Overlook that; it is a nice looking, fine shooting pistol, and I'm happy to have one in the collection. To buy or not buy, everyone should do their homework. Thank you for watching.

I don't believe that was rust. It was more than likely some type of preventative grease from the factory. Rust wouldn't just wipe off or come off with a cleaning brush for that matter. As soon as you register the gun with sig they will send you a range bag and your legion coin. Although, i think it should of just came with it. I would most definitely have a problem with the missing cerakote on the rails. I could see that happening after allot of shooting but not right out of the box. I'd be contacting sig for sure about that. Contact them, they have excellent costumer service.

I am putty damn sure those are rust. With the guild rod and springs, I have to use a copper brush to take it off. I still have a stubborn spot of rust by the safety lock and a couple of tinny dots on the ejector that would not come off because I was using nylon brush, not brass. Next cleaning, I'll use the brass brush to see if it will come off; I was trying not to scratch the paint. I found out about registering to get the case from the promo card right after I posted the video. I tried correct that with subtitles. It didn't come out right on the first try, but I think I fixed it the second time.

nice

I recently sent x2 Legion slides back to SIG to have Nitrided because the factory finish wasn't finished internally and was so thin it didn't match the frames. SIG did a solid fixing that for me. That said, this is piss poor, and they don 't finish or coat the interior of the of the compensator either. I was looking forward to getting one. Not so much anymore. Not without a slide refinish. Grips should be G10 and not plastic.

Not rust, that’s carbon and oil. It takes on that brown crud color… For some reason guide rods are magnets for it.

That is a lot of different grease, oils and cleaners from different manufacturers being used on one firearm. I think this might have contributed to the carbon buildup. Mixing all different oils, grease, ect have been reported to cause bad chemical reactions and gunk guns up. Brownel’s did a video about the subject. I usually clean all factory grease with rubbing alcohol and then use just gun oil. I use Clenzoil as a KZreadr tested a bunch of different gun oils for rust and protecting against metal wear (in a controlled environments with the same parameters) and Clenzoil was one of the best performers. Nice gun, i hope you do more videos on it.

It shoots very nicely. It's a good trigger, and I think the gun's weight absorbs some recoil, so it is soft shooting, just like its sister, the XFIVE Classic. But I don't think the integrated comp reduces muzzle flip more than the Classis at all, if any; I didn't feel the difference. Both feel the same. I did shot several rounds in normal and slow-mot in the video.
