giuseppepepperoniYeah, me! New 226 Legion
I finally found 226 Legion last week. Bag and coin on the way, thanks Sig.
2 trips to the range so far. I primarily shoot 1911's but I'm surprised how well the new, not yet broken-in trigger is. I had considered sending it off to Grey Guns one of these days but will have to reconsider. The reset is awesome. I'm not too crazy about the take-up, but we'll see if I get used to it.
Tomorrow will be another 200 rounds though it. I would have preferred the RXP version due to old guy eyes, but they're like hen's teeth around here.
If Sig would put the slide assemblies on sale I'd consider one of those, but they're awful proud of slide+optic at $699.

.38supersigCool!
I usually get distracted by a P226 from the '80s so the Legion hasn't happened yet.
Then there was that P226 Navy.
Someday...

Rey HRHYou could try gb; that's where I got my P226 Legion SAO RXP.
But Congratulations!

FPNunesCongrats. I've wanted one for a few years but every new DA/SA one I ran across was pretty loosely fit for some reason.
Ironically, the range rental that shot like a laser was still nice and tight after being rented out for the better part of 18 months.

Blume9mmMy P226 Legion in 357 I bought from a fellow member here just feels like a piece of art work to me. I did put a grey guns flat trigger on it and recently bought a 9mm legion slide and have an 9mm RX slide on the way as well as new barrel and spring and rod on the way. So, I guess I drank the 'Legion' kool-aid. What is next on my list is a P226 SAO Legion in 357.
You mentioned loose Sigs... I think that is a wrong assumption. I had a gunsmith with a big Glock tattoo on his arm 3 years ago show me how the slide on my Sig P320 was so loose it could never be accurate... the next day I shot a perfect score on a very difficult qualification test.... I did it again with the same pistol 3 weeks ago.

jjcAnother good move!
I've had 2 guns that I've wanted for a long time. One is the 226 stainless Elite and the pinnacle a 226 X5
I've screwed around of years by not purchasing the Elite and now they are tough to find and getting tougher. The 226 X5 is a large expenditure for a handgun but I've owned Wilson combat 1911's many years ago and they weren't cheap either. But 4/5 grand for the X5 is a stretch now but who knows one of these days something may happen. But reducing the bank account by 5 grand would be red flag for the wife, I mean what the heck she needs makeup you know.
