The wicked flee when no man pursueth |
If I plan to change out the trigger to a flat Grayguns trigger and a set of Nill grips anyway, are the features on the P226 Legion RX worth the extra money over a standard P226 RX? Proverbs 28:1 | ||

The question is are the features worth it to YOU. IMO they are worth it. The trigger guard undercut and checkering alone are worth it to me. The non-obnoxious Legion beavertail is a bonus. --------------------------- My hovercraft is full of eels. | |||

I just picked this up from a friend. He got bored and wanted something else and I had been wanting one of the P226 Legion SAO . The bonus is he sent this one out to be machined for Trijicon RMR. Hope to shoot it some today. I really like the Legion series and all the little extra features. This one feels great in the hand. JEREMIAH 33:3 | |||

I personally prefer the round trigger over the flat, I never understood flat triggers on DA capable guns> I had a P226R Elite RX SAO. I loved the gun but the Romeo 1 sight is lacking, mostly in durability so I sold the whole gun. FYI, I find the SAO triggers on the standard SAO guns to be identical to the Legion SAO triggers, so no "Legion" value there. That being said, I actually prefer the P226 Elite RX SAO over the P226 Legion RX SAO because I honestly believe the Nitron finish on the regular SIG line is a better finish then the PVD finish on the Legions. I do have one Legion, but only because I found it used for about the same price as a standard SIG so I felt I could own it, give it an honest and lengthy trial to compare with my other SIGs. My Legion is a P229 DA/SA 9mm, I also have a standard P229R in 9mm. Comparison between the two, Triggers feel equal other than the Legion having a shorter reset. I find the "Short Reset" to be WAY overrated and I don't care for one over the other at all. Sights, equal, having shot both I don't have a preference of the Siglite or X-Ray night sights. If they were both typical contrast sights then I do prefer the old Von Stavenhagen bar/dot sights over the current 3 dot. Grips, the Legion grips are the best P229 grips I've tried to date, I have replaced the E2 grips on my P229R with Hogue G10 and I like them almost as much as the Legion grips. Incidentals, I do like the frame undercut and additional checkering on the frame of the Legion. That is actually and upgrade that I appreciate. I still would not spend the money for a Legion over a standard SIG model unless the Legion fell in my lap like the one I have did. | |||

I ordered a Robert Burke "superstrut" for my new to me P226 Legion. This is a worthy modification. I changed it out today and got an improved trigger feel (much smoother feel) and dropped the pull weight by about 6-8 ounces. Can't wait to shoot some more rounds. Again a good modification.
