I do not trust the PVD finish plus you get the real 1903 Pickatinny rail.

I like the PVD color, but not its track record. I do qualify for a Black legion through the SiG APP program, if that sways anything.

MK25 all the way.

The Legion is expensive and requires work right out of the box to make it usable. It comes with many "features" that have to be removed to make it work. You can tell when I buy one, because you find a set of grips and slide lock lever for sale. I replace the grips and slide lock lever first. The slide lock lever is a piece of junk. You have to have five hands to get the think to lock back, which is helpful in training courses. It is also really helpful when you have a double feed. So I install the standard slide lock lever, and because I do that, I have to replace the grips. I sometimes replace the decocker as well. I usually then put in a 19 pound mainspring and polish the strut. Dry fire will remove any other grittiness that you may encounter. I've recently learned that SIG claims that the actions are "enhanced" but about half of the guns I encounter in classes are no better or worse than other standard P Series guns. I do wonder if they did legitimately start out enhanced, but the process removed as a cost savings measure. There are other "features" that started out with the Legion that have been replaced quietly to save a dollar, with the consumer being none the wiser.

For me, the MK25 needs an intermediate trigger, a strut polish, 19 pound main spring, and a set of sights, and that's it. Oh, and a piece of skateboard tape on front strap.

You and I must be in the same classroom? Every time I pick up my 226 SAO after jacking around with all my other Sig’s (320’s) I just... smile!
