I pick mine up in the morning and let you know what I think then. From what I read, most people say it's the same feel just without the DA

SAO is completely different that the da/sa. The Sao had the best reset of any gun including $$$ 1911's I've ever felt.

Im traditionally a 1911 fan, have owned a 2010 Model kimber custom 2 tle/rl, a para black ops combat, a sig scorpion carry threaded, and a sig p238. I'm hoping to find a trigger similar or better in a "combat" handgun. I called sig customer service and the gentleman told me the sao doesn't have the srt trigger but ironically enough the description on the sig legion website says the opposite so i don't know who to believe. |

I can bring my 226 SAO and 229 DA/SA by the store if you want to check out the difference. Neither are Legion, but both are Elite with short reset triggers and the non-legion trigger isn't flat. I have a flat apex trigger on my 320's and really like the feel of it. I think that it would be pretty awesome on the SAO.
I'm the guy that picked up the 22/45 tonight for the youth shoot at KCR. |

I have a SAO Legion and compared it to a DA/SA Legion before buying the SAO.
The SAO resets in about half the distance as the DA/SA but both are really, really short. Honestly, I don't think there is any practical difference between the two on the reset when they are run at speed. Might you have a finger that is sensitive-/trained-/conditioned-enough to tell the difference? Maybe, but that would be an exception. Keep in mind that the SAO trigger is flat and it functions by pivoting at the top. That allows you a little control of the the reset. Put your finger closer to the top of the trigger, the reset is shorter...down toward the bottom, it is slightly longer. That difference is perceivable in dedicated slow fire, but again, at speed it will be immaterial for the vast majority of shooters. MikeN |

Thanks so much, that's kind of what i was understanding too. I'm confident I'll go with the sao.

If the Tacops has the srt trigger in it(I'm not sure) the legion SAO is 10x better. I traded my Tacops the second i tried the trigger and reset of the legion SAO and haven't carried another gun since.

Sadly I never got to handle a dasa legion, but went ahead and did a blind buy on a SAO legion from a fellow member. I will say it is FUCKING AWESOME. You just think about resetting the trigger and click, its ready to go. It is damn near impossible to not shoot the thing as fast as you can. You will not regret the purchase. I can't wait to shoot it again. Just buy it and enjoy. |

I don't notice any difference between the reset on either pistol. Both are Elite models with a factory short reset trigger and has the smooth short siggy sweetness of the SA. I've always appreciated the SA smoothness and the security of the DA pull for a carry gun. I personally wouldn't use the SAO for a carry gun, but wanted the SAO's smooth short consistency for a competition gun. One thing that I've found with people discussing Sig is some confusion with the SRT. SIg has two SRT's; one is a short reset trigger and the other is a short reach trigger. Elite has a short reset trigger. |

One was a clear qc issue (finish inside magwell) and the other just complained about the legion branding gimmicky-ness. I've pretty much decided when my fnx45tac comes back from FNH it'll be right back out the door and replaced with the 226sao legion. I reallocate do appreciate everyone's help. |

My personal experience. The SAO has a shorter reset and lighter/crisper SA pull. The SRT triggers in these have also been advertised as grey triggers and are supposedly slightly better than the regular SRT triggers but that could all be shop talk. Unless you're going to carry, I would get the SAO.

I picked up an SAO Legion yesterday. Wow. This thing has the best factory trigger I have ever felt; to include the 1911's I have owned. Mine gauges at about 2.95 pounds, and the reset is, as mentioned above, almost imperceptibly short. In contrast to some other short reset guns I own such as the PPQ, there is also zero take-up from the point of reset. When I get home tonight, I will take a caliper and try to measure the reset distance. i'm just amazed it is as short as it is. I would be surprised if it is even an 1/8 of an inch. I think I'm going to be very pleased with this gun. I'm looking forward to shooting it. I'm going to drop a threaded barrel in it that I already own, and call it done. I don't think I have ever said that about any other handgun I own, and I own a few. It is damn near perfect out of the box. |

I have one on order.
Ordered it on blind faith from the reviews I've read. Then, yesterday, I went to the LGS and handled one. It blew away my expectations. As a former 226 ELITE SAO owner, this thing is in a different league. When comparing it to TRP triggers, Dan Wesson 1911 triggers......It has more "pre-travel", or in 1911 terms, that floating movement before it hits the wall......but otherwise the actual break is less creepy than a decent off the shelf 1911, and the reset is literally just as short. No joke, they put a 1911 reset in a production Sig....and a cleaner break. Its the best trigger I have felt in any firearm short of at the very least a semi-custom 1911. I will most likely be carrying this one on duty, buying one additional one as a backup, then selling the rest of my handguns and maybe getting a PPQ for something to carry thats larger than my G43 but a little more tidy than a full size 226. If they'd make a 229 SAO........well, this wouldn't be an issue. With my recent trials of Glocks and them being a disappointment, the old school 226 may be saving the day. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Its the best trigger I have felt in any firearm short of at the very least a semi-custom 1911. Agreed. The only production gun I have that equals this thing is my STi 1911. The 1911 might have a bit less "creepy" break, but that's it. The only pistols I own that have a better trigger are 1911's that have been to a smith at some point in their life with me.

The reset on the SAO is half the stroke of a Sig SRT in a DASA. The pull feels kinda reminds me of using a Geissele SSA-E in my AR, light pull to set point then anything more and she goes bang. If you are just ripping through it, you will never even notice the set.

Shot a buddy's SAO Legion... it's pretty much ridiculous. The trigger is insane. All but ruined my 'regular' SAO.

Are the legions a limited run gun? That is to say, if I don't buy now, will they be all gone in a few months? Or is this going to be a continuous product line?

Thanks for that tidbit of info. Any chance you can ask your buddy if they have any plans for a 229 SAO Legion? I've always carried dasa and striker guns, but that gun would immediately become my edc, especially if in .40, I would train for carrying cocked and locked. Never been tempted by that until my 226 SAO Legion.... |

There has been a form of SAO P226 around for years, whereas there has not ever been an SAO P229. I agree they should make the P229 SAO, I just don't know if it will happen. I wouldn't set money aside. |
