Still waiting on the 225ST.

I spoke to CS at Grayguns and was told they have a prototype being tested. Hopefully it will be out by the end of the summer......and the wait goes on........

I still like the idea of the ST, but I'd be afraid to see how proud SIG will be of it when they establish pricing.

I remember watching a YouTube video last summer (maybe JustinOpinion?) in which he indicated the P225-A1 had many of the features found on the Legion series including an undercut on the trigger guard and the SRT kit (which Sig really should be installing as standard on all their pistols), as well as, the G10 grips. So, I don’t think they will release a Legion when the P225-A1 is basically a non-Legion Legion without the club membership.

I was happy to pay what I did for the P225-A1 because of the G10s and SRT which would have been "must have" aftermarket upgrades that would have added $150 to the price anyway. Including the SigLite night sights and a slight melt job on the sharp edges and the $900 sticker price isn’t horrible. Remove the SigLite sights, G10s, and SRT kit and you are left with a $750 Sig.

It’s kind of like the M9A3. Yes, the $900 retail price is a bit high but add in metal parts like the trigger and oversized mag release, add in a threaded barrel and night sights, the "D" spring and a third magazine and the price seems a little more reasonable. What were the new production Vertecs going for two years ago, $750? Add in everything else and your at around $900 anyway.
