From the Sig site 226 Legion features. An enhanced polished action with the SRT (Short-Reset Trigger) is augmented with a Grayguns, Inc. designed P-SAIT trigger. Of the 4 p series that I have, it has by far the best trigger. | |||

I wouldn't mind a P226 SAO personally ______________________________________________ Life is short. It’s shorter with the wrong gun… | |||

I picked up a Legion 226 SAO a couple of weeks ago. The gun is very accurate and the trigger is just plain outstanding. I think it's worth the money. John "Building a wall will violate the rights of millions of illegals." [Nancy Pelosi] | |||

I’ve seem a couple of hundred in classes. They are no better or worse than the rest of the P Series pistols. And from having been on the assembly line, they are assembled and not polished. The marketing explains where people get the false idea that there is something special. I understand now. | |||

I have 5 other Sig P series pistols. I bought my legion for all the extra features that come with it. My legion replaced a nitron p227r which is still a fine weapon. I got the legion for LE pricing so it was a little cheaper. | |||

Interesting. Maybe I just got really lucky, the last two I bought are mediocre at best. I have been meaning to take it apart and see if I can tell what makes this one so smooth. The DA/SA is on par with the others I have (19# mainspring in all) but the DA pull makes the others feel pretty bad by comparison. But I am not the original owner so who knows if it's been fiddled with after it left the factory. | |||

Hmm, seems to be a magic butter juice. https://www.realgunreviews.com...6-to-legion-specs/7/

I think the "butter juice" is in the marketing. | |||

My 220 Legion is an SAO and the trigger is outstanding to say the least. So very glad I was able to find one since the 220 Legion SAO has been discontinued. | |||

I can’t speak to the DA/SA Legion triggers, but the SAO triggers are awesome. Not sure if they are “worth it” at MAP or regular prices, but if you can get them for $1K or so, I certainly think they are. Most I paid for my Legion SAO was $1035 for the P229 right after it hit the streets. What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand??? | |||

Definitely worth the money. My Legion is the P226 SAO and the trigger is very close to my WC 1911. No problem with the finish, but I don't carry it either. Go for it!! | |||

The trigger on my Legion is noticeably better than that on my Mk 25. Maybe I just got lucky. It happens. I also read somewhere that the grayguns trigger on earlier guns isn’t the same as later guns. Doesn’t have a pre travel screw or some such thing. My memory fails me. | |||

I guess I'll have to believe my lying eyes on this one buddy. I had mine apart and can see where it was smoothed and polished. No grit and lighter than any other of my P series guns with a reset that is shorter than any gun I've ever handled. | |||

I got one of the faulty ones with a very good trigger too, better than any other plain Jane 226 I've seen. I also got one of the rare ones with perfect finish that has been durable. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

So let’s try this from another angle. You’ve got just as good a chance of getting a great action on a non-Legion as you do with a Legion. And I don’t know what to tell you about polishing. It is a mass produced pistol that they do not do action work on. | |||

Fair enough. I've handled a few P229 Legions that had terrible triggers. Bad enough to turn me off of owning one which really was a let down since on paper the Legion spec'd P229 was the perfect carry pistol for me. I really don't want to squabble about if certain guns may or may not have been assembled with a little extra love or different springs. There's no way anyone could ever be 100% certain either way. I'll certainly concede that you most likely know more about what Sig is doing at their facility than I and you sharing this knowledge is appreciated. I really wish you could send a few rounds downrange from my P220 though. I feel it delivers on the Legion hype and is what I'd consider classic Sig quality. | |||

I edited my post a couple of times as to not make it sound accusatory or down right combative. I want the Legion to be what yours is. The DA/SA SIG is my favorite. I shoot other guns, shoot them well, but the 226 is effortless. But. At the same time, I want to call things as they are. And I never want to come across as or be a brand apologist. | |||

No worries my friend. I feel the EXACT same way. Everything aside I believe the Sig DA/SA pistols to be one of the best pistol designs around and am glad to own a few. | |||

I was gonna stay out of this but I guess it's only fair that I chime in too. My Legion 226 SAO, out of the box, has a great trigger. It's what I expected after shooting another guy's Legion at our gun range. I've only got 500 rounds through it but it has been flawless and accurate. A joy to shoot. I'd buy it again and recommend it to friends. John "Building a wall will violate the rights of millions of illegals." [Nancy Pelosi] | |||
