Yeah, Sig really did this. Complete with ZEV fiber optic sights that are too short for the Romeo1Pro. | ||

Honestly I didn't mind the glitter and stupidity of some of the 320 gold and color variations, but this is crossing the line. No, No and go away sig. If someone buys this POS they should be shunned or worse. “So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.” | |||

I doubt focus groups are a thing in the gun industry but even the name “Zev” irritates me. What’s with the hard lines? In cars, fluid lines tend to represent speed and elegance, in guns, it’s the exact opposite. Looks like the kid in my high school class that bleached his hair and made sure his shirt was unbuttoned enough to show his stretched “wife beater” designed it. 10 years to retirement! Just waiting! | |||

I like the ZEV Octane Z320 slides and barrels. They are made in cooperation with Sig and have the Sig Sauer Logo on them. Seem to be Sig blanks tarted up by ZEV more or less. They aren't too expensive and most importantly they have a dedicated RMR cut that keeps the optic lower than any stock P320. But this P226, yeah, it's a mess. | |||

I like the grips. The rest? Not so much. I also am not an SAO fan either though. My SAO's tend to be 1911's only. I can see the appeal just not my thing, its why I don't like 210's either. | |||

Yeah, those aren't too bad. I dunno. I'm going the other way from stuff like this. I just picked up a West German P226, and I'm absolutely loving the lines and balance. That thing in the picture looks like something a kid in third grade sketched in his notebook in the middle of class because multiplication tables are boring. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

Looks like a P226 that lost a fight with a milling machine. Almost as bad as the 'enhanced' crap they've been pushing out. It is a no for me. | |||

I swear I had something for this |
Yours also doesn’t have an optics cut or the Legion’s better short reset trigger, your wood grips also makes a large gun like the P226 fatter than G10 grips, and it comes with a threaded barrel that I can attach a suppressor or compensator to. As far as the Zev, I’ve seen worse from the Sig Custom Shop, but I’m scared to look up the price for this “masterpiece.” I’m also not sure how 2 dinky window cuts on the front of the slide is suppose to do anything expect collect lint. | |||

Yours doesn't snag on as many things or fill up with lint and dirt. It's also way more concealable and less expensive. The ZEV has all those options that yours does not. Oh, and a red dot and suppressor attachment that you probably didn't want. | |||

You asked what it did better than yours, and I gave you three. You valuing the improvements is up to you. The better question is what does this do that the P226 SAO Legion RX doesn’t for $400 less. Impact Guns has MSRP listed at $1,999 while the RX Legion is $1,599. Getting a threaded barrel and losing XRAY3 sights doesn’t equal $400. | |||

Silly short reset? Oh brother, that is more useful than just competing. I get it, you don't like the pimping, I don't either. What becomes silly is deriding the optics cut, the short reset, the thin grips, the upgraded irons, etc. None of those things are bad. They are things you may or may not want. That's it. Optics cuts aren't required to fill with an optic. lol Just leave the plate on. Its like having a trailer hitch. Doesn't mean you have to buy a trailer. It might come in handy sometime though. I'm not a threaded barrel guy for the most part either but that is an easy fix. Get an unthreaded one or ignore it. | |||

My other Sig is a Steyr. |
YIKES! Is that for just one of them? | |||

On the plus side, the Romeo1Pro optic is included. https://www.impactguns.com/sem...26r-9-zev-sao-tb-rxp It doesn’t say if it’d the 3 MOA or 6 MOA, but that’s a bit much. | |||

I knew if I waited long enough (26 years) I would have an opportunity to buy a P226 with everything I DON'T want. ______________________ An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less until he knows absolutely everything about nothing. --Nicholas Murray Butler | |||

I don’t care for this but my biggest complaint is that Sig comes to the market with a $2000 P226 that no one asked for and then we never get the long awaited US X-Five P226 pistols. Take the build quality of the American P210 and do a 5” steel frame competition P226. Or is Sig content to let Beretta and CZ sell semi loads of similar guns every month with no answer from Sig? | |||
