Looking to pick up a SAO CCW. Would love the Wilson EDC X9 but at near 3k it’s not gonna happen. Consider one of the following:
Sig P229 Legion SAO
Or
CZ P01 omega from Cajun gun works done up the way I want it


Both come in at about the same price once I upgrade the CZ.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

I have 3 Legion SAO's and they are the finest shooting handguns I have ever owned. I do not have a CZ but have fired them and in my opinion the safety is a bit cumbersome to operate when compared to the SIG.

Both are nice guns, but I could never get used to the smaller gripping area on the slide of the CZ guns.

The CZ is very nice but for me, the edge went to the Legion Sigs. I carry one on duty. Two others at work shot mine at the range one day and are now carrying ones of their own on duty.

What are you using for a duty holster?

I prefer CZ ergos to Sig. That said, I run a Colt Light Weight Wiley Clapp Commander in 9mm for my single action carry.

I've never owned a Sig Legion Sao, but was very impressed by the trigger when dry firing at the local shop. I had a CZ P-01 omega with some drop in Cajun Gunworks parts and traded it off as I found the safety to small and mushy in operation.

Sig 229 Legion SAO all the way, not even close.

Safariland - not sure of the model number... it's their current offering with the open top (no bail) and just the thumb release. I've also got a Surefire X300 on it.

How 'bout an STI 2011? They can be had in single-stack (Staccato C) or double-stack (Staccato P, DVC-C, Guardian, etc.)

I like them well enough but they are in the 2k+ range also no?

The Staccato C can be had for less than $1500, new.

I'm partial to the CZ.
The Sig is a fine pistol but to me the P01checks more boxes.
The Sig is HUGE compared to the CZ. Shooting them side by side you'd think the P229 was a 45. The Sig also feels like a Glock in comparison to the CZ's perfect ergonomics. With some CGW goodies you'll get a pistol that is in a league above the Legion.

I lean more towards CZ, but you can't go wrong with either gun. I think you need to handle both and see which one feels and points the best to you and rent them (if you can) and put some rounds down range.

Legion SAO gets my nod

SIG P-210 American standard for me
