The gun gods have finally smiled upon me! They have created my dream carry gun and one will be in my hands soon. Thanks for posting the picture. I'm pretty sure all the crap I've read about the legion is that .40 and .357 sig will be available later this year. Like November. I'm pretty sure sao will be included in the to be released gun in all calibers as well. |

As of Oct 9th, I am a proud owner of the 226. I will say its a great pistol. Shooting it was
 . Love the sights, the fit and feel, perfect. Money well spent. I am an elite.....don't forget it. Hopefully my case and extras come this week.

Is the 226 Legion SAO in stores yet? I believe that I read that they will be shipping in November... What exactly is the difference between these two trigger offerings?

The SAO will come with the outstanding SIG Mastershop X Series fully adjustable level 1 trigger with a flat X Series Super match flat trigger face. http://www.legionseries.com/p226-sao-legion/ Yes, adjustable for pull but there is no cutout on the frame for adjusting the pull weight. |

It will most definitely be a P229-1 barrel as it has the slide with the full height serrations and because that is the standard now. Legacy is only for LEO & military now. |

I'm getting the hots for the 226 SAO. 10+ years since I had a sig. Maybe a Christmas present to myself. Looks like that safety will allow a high grip and not ride the slide release like on DA/SA sigs. Always did like sigs, just not the slide release location.

A question for you guys who carry these bigger guns. How the hell do you do it?! Hopefully my 229 will be in this week and the holster shopping has begun. Usually I carry an lcp, however, I tried carrying my 290 yesterday in a kydex iwb holster. I hated every second of it. My normal carry is owb.
I'm looking at a stealthgear onyx iwb in hopes that the soft back will help keep the pistol on my hip instead of trying to fall down it. I've tried crossbreed. It's nice, but sweating in the summer down here makes that holster down right disgusting to carry all day. |

Even with extensions the magazines are to narrow. If you can't get at least 20 rounds in the mag then you are giving up a couple rounds to the big boys. |

I carry a 229 in a Comptac Mtac and have for close to ten years. I always wear some kind of undershirt even in the summer which is tough around here. Bought a shield but can't wrap my head around carryin a little gun yet. Might try my 320 as a in between compromise to save a little weight. |

I've just always carried little guns and I'm starting to get a little paranoid about that. I just don't think this pistol will do well with concealment in an owb holster without drastically changing my cover. I wear one of those double pocket red cap shirts and a long sleeve under that every day. Can't go with a much bigger shirt without looking like a balloon! |

I held one briefly yesterday.
From just holding the P226, it seems like the grips have added thickness near the slide release lever that makes it a bit more difficult to inadvertently hit it. I'm seriously taking a look at one of these. And I've never been a big SIG fan. |

It's not your dealer's fault, all the distributors are showing 0 units in stock ready to ship, everything shows as allocated
meaning there is a shitload of orders and all the inbound shipments are going to fill those orders. It's gonna be a little while till things calm down a bit but if your guy preordered those will get filled first. |

You're probably right. I guess I was the first person to ask for one from the shop, so I guess he didn't pre order any.
He said the sig rep offerd me some sig ammo for being patient. I thought that was pretty nice. I'd like to get that xm-18 instead, but I'm not a greedy kind of guy! |

I finally got my 229. I have to say, I get it now. I mean, I've had sigs, but they've been small ones. I have a 290 now and I had a 238 that I sold because I just didn't like it.
This 229 feels like sig made it just for me. Great pistol seriously! I plan on beating it up, but it will never be sold. I see why people love them so much. I put 15 rounds through it when I picked it up. 5 in each mag. I just wanted to run some rounds through it before I put it on my hip. Flawless! |
