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!

Unless the mags will always be loaded with that number of rounds. |

Any news of the SAO model?
Anyone had issues with their DA/SA Legions so far? |

I picked up my SIG Legion 226 several hours ago.
It's nice. Really nice. Admittedly, this is my first personal handgun, but compared to the handguns I've used at ranges and in the military, it's nice. Now, I need to call SIG so I can get my fancy case and coin. |

Some people really don't like DA/SA because of the 2 separate trigger pulls, which requires a bit of training to shoot effectively. The SAO is similar to a 1911 in that it uses a manual safety and a single crisp trigger break. Basically, the SAO is similar to the DA/SA except that instead of having a long double action trigger pull followed by shorter trigger pulls as the gun cycles, it only has the shorter trigger pulls. |

Thanks. So it sounds like just pure preference of whether you want to carry it cocked with a safety or in uncocked with a double action pull? For just a target shooter is there going to be any noticeable difference?

For just a target shooter is there going to be any noticeable difference? View Quote There is a noticeable difference between double and single action. If I were starting from scratch and didn't need the gun to meet any specific rules or requirements I would probably go sao and not look back. I grew up shooting revolvers so the trigger doesn't bother me. Only times I find it undesirable is when I am taking a long precision shot in which cases I will cock the hammer first so I can have the single action pull first. My current 226 is a stainless model that is da/sa and I bought it to shoot in USPSA Production division where sao is not allowed. I also carry a 229 da/sa but am slowly transitioning most of my guns to striker and sao. I bought a used X6 to play with the sao trigger but the safety is wonky and I never have gotten around to sending it in to Sig. |

Such a beautiful gun. Any way I can get this in CA? Or am I to just sit from the computer and drool every time I see these pics.

View Quote The link I provided belongs to a thread posted by a guy who actually bought his P226 Legion SAO in person directly from the SIG Pro Shop and was told that the trigger was adjustable and the tool to adjust it was included in the box. The sales person at SIG didn't know about the change to the non adjustable, non Mastershop Super Target Trigger, and said "he'd look into it." Crock of BS that you can buy directly from SIG and still get mislead over what they are actually selling versus what they promote. i was planning on picking up one for myself as my next pistol but they can keep it. |

Will be following this thread and the one on the other forum. Interested what they hear back from sig regarding the change.

Seriously? Ive waited these last several months for this and am glad that you posted this so I didnt purchase one. I would have had no idea until receiving it and likely would have been too late to do anything about returning it.
So what would the trigger pull be like on that versus the Gray guns trigger on the Da/Sa model? Should a guy go with the Da/Sa if he wanted a Legion or get neither of them? |

I got this from Kyle Faucher at sig.
I once apologize for the experience you have had with the Legion firearm series. Unfortunately the firearm does not have any adjustable trigger from the factory. We did not advertise the firearm as adjustable but the photo did show the x5 super match adjustable trigger in the photo. The aluminum framed p226 elite sao and the sao legion have fixed triggers. They are not adjustable for pull weight or trigger travel. It does have the x5 super match trigger in a fixed variant unfortunately only the x5 series firearms have an adjustable trigger. Once again I do apologize for the situation you have experienced. no need to argue the points it wont do any good but it is sad news. blah blah bullshit. time to move on. |

So setting aside their intent is the gun worth the price they are asking?? Msrp is 200$ more than the standard 226 SAO and it looks like the extra features easily make that up.
Maybe instead of a smoking deal we are just getting cool gun for the going rate. |
