The most noticeable difference is that the legacy is significantly lighter and less nose heavy.
If weight isn't a problem for you, then the improvements in the Virtus may be worthwhile for you. I chose the 11.5 legacy because it was lighter and handier. |

I also noticed the hybrid. Pros and cons to this model compared to the Legacy?

I just recently bought a MCX Legacy for a really good deal ($1200) so it was hard to pass up. The Virtus is nice and all but was hard to justify the $600+ price increase for basically a hand guard that isn't swappable and a grey color. The Original MCX has a recoil spring issue and a heavy trigger, but sig fixed those. I also decided on the MCX legacy because I wanted to build a clone to what London's counter terrorism units use.

Well I pulled the trigger on a MCX Hybrid pistol 11.5” 5.56. Brand new from another member on FB. Good deal I couldn’t pass it up. I’ll post up update when I get it next week.

Handguards on Virtus are swappable, just like Legacy. However, the handguards between the two generations are not compatible (top receiver rails are different lengths). Quote HistoryQuoted:
