Shot a 226 Legion
oooohhhhhhh myyyyyy.....

Soooo very nice. Excellent DA and SA trigger, fantastic reset, perfect ergos. I like the more-undercut trigger guard and actually like the texture under the trigger guard, which I didn't think I would. 18 shots, 18 hits. the 3 dot sights aren't my cuppa but I can see their utility for actual night use. Recoil was negligible.

I'm going to have to try to make this happen.

Great gun! Whatever you do, don't try the SAO Wink

Strange how it tugs on the heart strings huh?

I don't buy into all the legion branded exclusives, but the gun is just sooooo sexy.

Forget the marking, it's a damn good pistol, period. The UID sticker on a M11-A1 doesn't make it a good pistol, the pistol makes it a good pistol, no different.

I love both.

I want to see your next USPSA vid rocking a 226 Legion.

Yea, the marketing makes it easy to slam on the pistol and forget the actual changes Sig made to a 226 that actually work very well. The trigger and the undercuts alone make it significantly nicer to shoot than my MK25. I like the Xrays as well. The checkering is a nice feature that I have paid for in the past also.

The Legion is for real. Pretend that there isn't a challenge coin and you'll be fine.

Fully agreed!

To the OP: The SAO is even better!!

Yep, handled and dry fired the SAO, and the trigger is phenomenal. Haven't found one to shoot yet. If I had to buy one right now I'd get the SAO. If I had to pick one to carry I'd get the DA/SA.

The 226 Legion SAO is favorite combat handgun.

The Legion SAO is terrific, the trigger is the best non-1911 I've ever shot. I hope the straight trigger becomes at least an available option on all Sig pistols.

I'll be watching too. A nice change from his Beretta vids. How many mags you got on order Ray? Cool
