I never gave the Legion series much thought until I had a chance to play around with a DA/SA 226 earlier this year. I really wanted a SAO, but, couldn't find one and ended up picking up the DA/SA model. Held onto it for a bit, but, flipped it before I got out with it. Finally picked up the SAO this afternoon. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has the SAO or any of the Legion models as far as how they've held up. Obligatory pics:   ------------ SP2022 - 9mm | ||

The Legion is a very striking handgun. Congratulations. Niech Zyje P-220 Steve | |||

We bought one for my wife. She loves it. No complaints and it's held up well (10 months). She had trouble with the stock X-sights so I had them replaced with some TruGlo TFOs in green. ———- Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for thou art crunchy and taste good with catsup. | |||

I'm not sure if this qualifies as 'held up'. I put a std. 226 slide with an RMR milled on top of the SAO legion frame and shot last fall's plate matches with it. No issues with either part. That's a couple of thousand rounds no issue. I hate the stock legion sights but I am reluctant to mill the logo off the top for an RMR so I'm just switching slides. I just bought another SAO gun so I can have two of them for this next season. “So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.” | |||

My P226 SAO Legion is the Sig I've had the shortest time but it's the Sig I shoot the most, probably a couple thousand rounds so far with zero issues. It's easily my favorite Sig and easily my favorite handgun. Glad spring is coming so I can get back at it. No issues what so ever. I carry mine regularly also. Seems people either love of hate the sights. I love em. I am not BIPOLAR. I don't even like bears. | |||

I have about thousand rounds through mine without any malfunctions, my brother liked mine so much that he bought one himself. | |||

I have three German SIG P226's and a Legion P226. The Legion is my favorite of them all. | |||

I have had mine over a year ago. It is one of my favorite pistols, and has made many trips to the range. No issues at all with mine. Cathy | |||

Just bought my second Legion, a SAO, a couple of weeks ago. DA/SA P226 is about 8 months old. Finish is fine in both although both are range guns. Great pistols! I substituted Wolff 17lb mainsprings in both with no issues. You made a great choice by going SAO. Great trigger. Enjoy! | |||

| I made it so far, now I'll go for more  |
I have a feeling it will hold up as well as any other 226. Bob I am no expert, but think I am sometimes. | |||

Congrats on a great purchase. I'm not sure how much longer I can hold out on getting one of these....nice gun. | |||

Congratulations. My first Sig was a P229 Legion in 9mm. I hadn't heard of the Legion series until a friend of mine bought a P226 last year. I bought the P229 Legion on election day, and its bigger brother the P226 came home with me a few weeks ago. There's also a P226 SAO (not mine) in the house that has yet to be shot. Hopefully that happens this weekend. I may end up with one of those soon enough, too, and more likely a P220 Legion when those are released. | |||

If I were looking for a range gun, I'd be all over a P226 Legion SAO. I work at a gun shop / shooting range and in the past 4 months I've sold eight to ten P226 Legions. Most were DA/SA guns, but the SAO is the one that really stands out to me. The Grayguns triggers are fantastic and are what would push me into buying one. Besides the P320 line, it's the only new Sig that's come out in a long time that I've wanted to buy. I'm sure that I'll end up with one sooner or later.

congratulations. I have the DA/SA Legion P226. I have several thousand rounds through it. I've had it since last year and I put a couple hundred rounds through it a week. I am NOT a fan of the sights. I love everything else. I don't know what kind of finish is on the barrel, but after thousands of rounds, there is ZERO wear. | |||

I love my 226 SAO. I have about a thousand or so rounds with no issues and have used every imaginable ammo in it. Everyone who tries it is amazed at the trigger and how well it shoots. Congrats on the new addition. | |||

The store where blindref works actually sold all three of the Legions I mentioned in my post above. I walked in one Sunday, and the first thing out of his mouth was "We got another one in, should I just start the paperwork?" 2 weeks later, not only was that P226 DA/SA at home, but my wife decided she wanted the SAO. So @blindref: which do you think will happen first? you'll get a P226 Legion SAO or I'll end up with one of my own? | |||

I thought the trigger on the SAO Legion is not Grayguns', only the P-SAIT on the DA/SA. I can't recall who, but someone has mentioned this previously on here. Might have been someone from GGI, themsleves, or someone working closely with them. Q | |||

Grayguns does not supply the triggers on the SAO Legions. | |||

This. The SAO is a dream to shoot. I would like to pick one up, because all of the student guns I have shot are absolutely awesome. But, I train DA/SA so much that I am a bit afraid of the safety. | |||

blindref mentioned the Grayguns triggers are fantastic. I was kind of confused because he wanted a SAO Legion. He must have been talking about the P-SAIT on the DA/SA gun, then. Q | |||
