Which to buy? How do the triggers compare in SA mode? Is the SAO trigger better than the DA/SA trigger when in SA?
Thanks

Yes, I think that the SAO is much better than the DA/SA gun in SA. And I'm a DA/SA guy. The SA is so crisp and short on the SAO that I can knock out .15 splits without a lot of issues.

What do you want to do with the gun. If its just trigger time at the range get the SAO gun all day long. Carry it, I wouldn't but that's just me.

SAO! Both are nice, but edge to the SAO.

I have been shooting DA/SA Sigs for many years but when I got the Legion 226 SAO I noticed my scores went up immediately. I have not yet come to carrying it daily but I am working toward that

The first pistol I bought after not owning any for several years was a DA/SA P226. Loved it, but put a Wolff 17lb mainspring in it to lighten the trigger. Trigger was very nice, especially after adjusting for over travel.

Happened to check out a P226RX SAO at my local SIG Elite dealer and it was a game changer! Amazing trigger, light, crisp and with minimal travel. Ended up being the most accurate pistol I have ever shot. Soon after I bought a SAO Legion.

SAO is the way to go IMHO.

I have a regular DA/SA 226 and a 226 Legion SAO

I love my SAO!

The trigger is dang near as good as some less expensive 1911s with the added advantages of being able to load/unload with the safety already engaged and double stack capacity.

Never cared much for a SIG SA. If SA is what I wanted I would have a good 1911. Carried one for 20+ years. Gotta say tho' the SA in my P226 Legion DA/SA is better than most 1911's on the street.

The SAO is a sweet ride and I went that route because I wanted to carry and shoot the piss out of it at the range.

I have always rocked the DA/SA for carry for a few reasons, but made the decision to transition to the SAO because I have always shot it better. Ultimately, I had decided to stop carrying the SAO Legion because about once a day I managed to disengage the ambi safety. I love the Legion and it gets shot every range visit, but until I can upgrade the safety it will remain my range whore.

I'm an SAO guy, so you know which one I like. For either the P226 Legion SAO or the P226 Elite SAO, I'd send it to Robert Burke for his superb action job. Robert mailed my X5 Comp back to me 18 days after he received it.

For me at the range, SAO all day long.
For carry, DA/SA

I have a Legion DA/SA--but would like to add a SAO. But what I would really like is a Legion 226 SAO RX.
