Hi everyone. I planning to buy an upper of Sig P226 Legion 9mm SA only and used it on my P226 Legion 40 S W DA/SA. Is it work or not? Thanks in advance.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Andy1972, | ||

That's just the Flomax talking |
If you already own a P226 Legion DA/SA, why do you need a second slide? | |||

I'm a bit confused by what you are trying to accomplish by swapping slides. If you are trying to convert a SIG P226 DA/SA to SAO operation with a slide swap then no, it won't work. | |||

Sorry for the confusion... My P226 Legion is 40 s w caliber with DA/SA, the one I bought is an upper came off from a p226 Legion 9mm SA only. My question is can I interchange and use that Upper from an SA only on my which is DA/SA. I know I can interchange an upper with 9mm on an 40 s w frame, it might not reliable but I only use at the range... Thanks Modern Day Savage for the information. | |||

Ahh ok, so you are trying to do a caliber change using a SAO upper and a DA/SA lower. I would assume that from a dimensional stand point a P226 slide and frame should mate. But I don't own any SAO SIGs and haven't examined a P226 SAO slide to know if there are any other mechanical differences that would prevent it from working on a DA/SA frame...so I don't know the answer to your question. If no one is able to answer your question here you might consider referencing a parts diagram and list. | |||

I went to the range in Friday test fire. It works like a normal P226 9mm when I swap the SA upper 9mm on to my Legion 40 S&W caliber. Now I got two calibers in one gun | |||

Thanks for that report. Something good to know. “I can’t give you brains, but I can give you a diploma.” — The Wizard of Oz This life is a drill. It is only a drill. If it had been a real life, you would have been given instructions about where to go and what to do. | |||

First time I've read of this being done so thanks for the follow-up! | |||

I swap slides (within a caliber) all the time as some are milled, some have certain sights, etc. DAK/DASA/SAO lower never makes a difference. I have tried doing caliber exchanges only once (9mm to .40 on a DASA lower) and it didn't work. I've heard mostly success stories like this from others but it is possible it won't work. “So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.” | |||
