P226 Legion Comes Back From GGI Login/Join

I sent my Legion off to GGI a couple of weeks ago to get the hook up on smoothing out the DA just a bit. The gun was shootable before. I had taught three or four classes with it, and shot it quite a bit. Gun came back last night in the big brown Santa. The DA is much smoother, but it doesn't feel as if they have knocked the poundage down to maybe 9 pounds or so. Not a huge improvement. Now, why did they not go much lower? You can get the DA down to about 7.5 pounds with great reliability. But, unless you really start tweaking leverage, you tend to take the SA down too far from what I like. The SA feels like it is about 4.25 pounds or so. I can prep into it, and love it.



Range trip this morning.

I have got three or four practice stages that I set up and shoot. I shot two of them this morning. Everything is shot from behind barricade. One is simple draw left side barricade two shots each on two targets, slide lock reload, two shots each on two targets right side barricade. Targets are about 7 yards from the barricade. I shot this several times over the course of a couple of hundred rounds. My average time was a little over seven seconds to complete. The other course of fire I shot was one target at 4 yards, one target at 18 yards. On the beep, draw and engage the far target with two, transition to close with two, emergency reload, two on the close and two on the far. That is a great little exercise as well.

The Legion didn't disappoint. Every time the sights stopped, it was an alpha. The only way I got in the -1 was when I really tried to push the gun beyond what was needed to make the complexity of a particular shot. But, I have a love affair with the P226 and like to push things hard on the range. Smile

I have a P226 that I got down to a very light and smooth double action pull by using a lighter hammer spring, but then it was unreliable in setting off primers.

I would rather have a heavier trigger pull and reliable ignition.

I have 2 Legion 226s, I love them so much. I had not thought about doing a GGI tune up, but a smoother, lighter DA would be nice. So, now I'm thinking about it....

A GGI tuned DA is a thing of beauty. Perfectly smooth all the way through. I just did a minor fluff and buff along with full spring change (19lb mainspring) to a P225/P6. The trigger is good and very shootable now and it started out atrocious. Compared to my GGI tuned P226 though, the difference is obvious.
