I am in the market for either the Legion SAO RX or the Elite SAO RX. I can get the Elite SAO for $1000 and the Legion for $1500. I feel my best option is to go Elite SAO and send it off to Robert Burke for a trigger job. Looking for opinions. | ||

If you can buy a new Elite SAO RX for a grand you should buy more than one!! I own a SAO RX and a Legion SAO (not a RX). While both are excellent shooting pistols the Elite is the best shooting pistol I have ever shot. It features all the benefits of the Legion except the straight trigger and patch of checkering under the trigger guard with a better finish. While I can say you couldn't go wrong with either, on a dollar for dollar basis the Elite would be the better value. I would also recommend shooting whatever you do buy before spending the money on a trigger job. With the addition of a Wolff 17lb mainspring my SAO triggers are outstanding. | |||

I doubt that the trigger on the Legion would be much different than the Elite. | |||

Other than variables between individual pistols there should be essentially no difference between the triggers of the two pistols aside from the Legion having a flat-faced trigger. | |||

Thanks for all of the responses. I ended ordering an Elite SAO RX. It should be here by Friday. I will have to see what I think of the factory trigger and decide if I want to send it out for work. | |||

I want to know where some of the Legion prices are coming from. I paid $1075 delivered to my ffl and the next lowest was around $1150 before shipping. I realize that prices vary around the country but $1500 seems a bit high. It's kids like you, who make this bus late. | |||

The $1500 price is for a Legion with the Romeo1 optic. | |||

I recently ordered a Legion P226 SAO and love it. Was deliberating between this and the new Wilson EDC in 9mm. Dimensions are similar with the Legion being about 1/4" longer and 1/4" taller but I carry it IWB in a TT Gunleather holster with an 18 rd. Mag and a 20 rd. spare and it is manageable to conceal for a full size pistol. Wonder what I should do with the $1900 I saved since I passed on the $3000 EDC....? | |||

You need a spare. You'll still have $800 for ammo. | |||

That's my opinion too. Robert's action job on my 9mm X5 Comp is excellent. Serious about crackers | |||
