So like an idiot I visited a new gun store today...you know, just to look.
I did not see anything cool and asked if they had any Sig Legions. They had 2 of them, one of which was a SAO. I bought the hell out of that sucker...the trigger is excellent. I just greased it up and put it away since it is too late to go to the range. I can't wait to try it. No, I did not need it...but once I handled it that was all she wrote. Just over 1300 bucks out the door. I guess the pile of mec-gar 18's I got for my MK25 justify it. Oh, who am I trying to kid... I am sure lots of you have done the same thing. But I bet it will run like a raped ape and be accurate too...I am going shoot the hell out of it and I guess that is what really matters! |

1300 seems high. I've seen her on EE and locally around a thousand

I should say very few stores here have higher end offerings.Glocks and SW out the wazoo but few p226 offerings so I jumped. Yep, I paid a small premium but it was better than ordering sight unseen. Until I tried the trigger I was only looking...like I said I am tarded. |

Did that the day I bought my M1A and GP100 Match Target.
Went in to look at one and walked out with two. |

Not going to happen soon...I am so tarded I don't know how to... I have to say I really like the trigger shape better than the MK25 too. I am actually delighted to have it. I don't know how many of these Sig is going to make and so I am glad I got it. |

Have they fixed their FailFinish? Once I get some rounds downrange I will report back. I can say this now however...fit and finish is better than anything else I have handled locally...by a substantial amount. |

The only thing I wish it had is a chrome lined barrel. Threaded chromed barrels are now in stock at Sig.
Shit... |

I can say this now however...fit and finish is better than anything else I have handled locally...by a substantial amount. I cleaned the barrel on my Mk. 25 in the sonic cleaner, which flash rusted in 30 minutes or less. Only very light surface rust. Was able to clean it all up, lesson learned. Not all are chrome lined. Expected more corrosion resistance. My Sig 220 10mm seems much better, but the barrel appears to be melonited. |

I registered it and hope to get some swag! It came with a legion sticker...won't be using that or the sig sticker here in asheville, land-o-libtards!

It also is great on the sear and helps the trigger weight a bit. All of my old guns are blued so I am a fanatic for wiping them with a oily wipe after handling. Rust sucks. |

View Quote I got an email reply from sig re registration and it appears a case will be sent soon with a legion coin. I note with some disappointment they never acknowledged my MK25 registration via email. Apparently buying a legion gets you the red carpet treatment. The trigger is sex BTW. Much nicer than the already very good MK25. |

Water & Simple Green. Works well and is cheap. I already cleaned a bunch of others with it, no problems. I just run a few 5 minute cycles and then dry and oil right afterwards. Not even AR bolts & bolt carriers flash rusted like it. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

http://i.imgur.com/R7m4v6o.jpg When I stripped it to clean and lube it I discovered the solid guide rod...it makes the MK25 guide rod look like a toy. The head of it is so thick it will never fail. It is heavy too. The checkering pretty much everywhere is very very nice as well. It is a nice piece. |

Nope, I have shot everything from 115 white box to 147 HSTS through it and have had no failures at all.
