And today I picked up my 3rd.
I sold my Glock 35 for the X-Five
I sold my Glock 23 for the X-Carry
And today I traded a Springfield Range Officer Operator 9mm for the SAO Legion

I think I'm done for a bit.  My fun money fund has taken a hit, and I think I might need a new rifle....

I bought a DHS trade in just because I'd never owned a Sig.

That one spawned 3 more.

In before the Sig haters arrive. Nice set OP. My MCX, 938, and 556xi Russian are still kickin ass.

Somehow, my first P320 became four... it's inexplicable.

Did you shoot yourself or anyone else when you dropped them?  

Nice collection op.

All I will say is I need to stop finding ridiculous deals on P220's.

Have you had em long enough to determine a favorite?

Sorta the same here. I bought the same Legion a month ago and now have a MPX.  I'd like to add a P220 and have an eye on a MCX.

How's the X carry, interested in that one.
2 weeks ago I had 3 Sigs 226 all stainless, 220 Elite stainless, Legion 226 sao.
Now I have an all German 228, a 225, a 229 SAS, and a 227 SAS.

I also traded into a NIB Wilson EDC x9, I don't know if I should keep it or sell it.

Yeah - I have have collected a few Sig's over the years. Be careful, you will get in deep quickly...oh you already are

My P228 is the only Sig I have felt the need to never sell thus far.

My MK25's with added SRT have made it onto my "never sell list". 9mm Glocks and KAC rifles are the only other weapons on that stringent list. I shoot suppressed often and I'm convinced there is not a better suppressor host that exist. The MK25 runs like a sewing machine and is built like a tank. No desire to own any of Sig's polymer guns though especially the troubled P320.

I really like it. The trigger isn't great, but it's better than any Glock I've owned, and I like the x grip much better than the standard 320.  
It's eaten everything I've given it.  The sights are great, and it's very accurate.   I have complete confidence in it.

Just got back from the range, and holy shit...the legion is a keeper.
The trigger is almost as good as my gold cup national match. It's a consistent 3.5lb, and breaks very clean.  Not 1911 clean, but close.

Op, interested to hear more of your thoughts on the SAO Legion, as I have a Springfield LBO that I'm selling and thought about asking for a Legion SAO in trade. I have always liked the looks of a 226 but have never shot one.
I'll admit I'm sort of a trigger snob as my Baer and DW 1911's are just so damn good.

I love my SAO Legion.

My 938 Scorpion is my summer EDC gun

229 Extreme in the winter but I now have a 320 FDE compact as well.

I have two MK25s one tan one black

SBR'd MPX and looking at a 553 pistol.

I'm a trigger snob and have a LBO too, and the trigger on it is a bit heavier, but cleaner than the SAO legion.
IMO, nothing compares to a nice 1911 trigger.  The legion is close though.  The short reset is fantastic, and I'm really liking the flat trigger.

I've got a 227 (the 10 round 220)...it's for sale It was on the EE, now on GB. I liked it and all, but it didn't feel...right, for lack of a better term. I don't like the E2 grips, and the wood ones I bought for it work, but it just feels clunky to me. I replaced it with a normal P220; I vastly prefer it. I've got a handful of P320s, a 229/M11A1, and now a 220...the 220's pretty much become my defacto carry now. It took some rangetime but I'm confident with the DA first pull now, the DA/SA transition is really not an issue...and I've got a flat trigger and spring kit from Gray Guns on order for it. I avoided DA/SA Sigs for the longest time; my first one was a 228 that I probably should have worked with but didn't want to. Now I've come back full circle and wish I had that 228 back

The 227 is nice, don't get me wrong, it's just sort of blocky in the grip whereas the 220 is a bit slimmer. Maybe it's my 1911 bias coming through but the 220 feels better to me.

Last I knew the Feds never put guns back into the civilian market.  So I don't think you got a "trade in".

I've got a stainless elite 220, and just picked up a 227 sas with the e2 grip, I love the 227 sas with the e2, I've got smedium hands and both the 220, and 227 fit and feel good.

I could see that. I have a 10 round 45 beretta storm and the grip is just too thick and annoying

The grip isn't too bad, it's just a little wide

The screwy thing is - I wear XL gloves, and you'd figure it'd be fine...I think it was the combination of it being wider and the fact that Sig likes to put their short reach trigger in 220s and 227s for some reason. It pinches my finger on both the 220 and 227.

I guess I'm ok with "long" grips but not so much with "wide" ones if that makes sense? Like, a Desert Eagle is fine to me, but a USP 45 is just too wide.

If I HAD to make it work, I could have...just, we're just blessed to be in a country where we don't have to make a pistol work if it doesn't fit, so I'm selling it to someone who hopefully likes it more than I did

A classic case of the malady known as the Signess.


I bought a P220 with the .22lr conversion and that got the ball rolling.  I now have the P220, a W. German P225, two P6's, two P226's, a P228, an M-11TB, a P229, a P239, two P245's and a couple of Mosquito's.

I became infatuated with the old school Sigs.  They are great guns.  All but the P220 and one of the P226's were bought used.  Most of the used guns were in like new condition with the exception of the P6's and one of the P226's (all German surplus guns).  I had those three guns refinished and they are awesome!

One year ago I purchased my first sig, a P320c FDE in 357 Sig. It easily became my favorite pistol. Never had one fit my hand so well, or have I been able to shoot so well without massive amounts of rounds downrange. I was forever getting accustom to my G32.

No idea what people whine about regarding "high bore axis". My P320 feels like it has half the recoil of my G32.

Regardless im a Sig believer now. Looking forward to picking up a Legion P229 soon.

I bought a 320 a few months ago, last week I bought a new P229 and liked it so much that I bought a 226 Legion on Monday. At this rate I may have to sell my Glocks off for Sigs.

I bought a txdps trade in p220 two tone that ended up making a p229, p239 ,  2 p226's, 2 p320's,  p250, 1911 tacops , 1911 emperor scorpin, 1911 sparten, mosquito and a 1911 C3 appear in my safe. Now a p226 stainless elite is calling.

Signess? Oh yeah it can get bad. I haven't counted in a while, there's at least twenty, including five rifles and even an 1882 revolver.

lol welcome to the club!

I caught the Signess a few years ago when I purchased a German folded slide P220 from a local member.. Sig collection has grown quite a bit since then..
