@Chatsworth Osborne, Jr. Yes and No. The Legion has a slimmed down frame and upgraded trigger over the MK25. Idk about the equinox but if you want a thinner frame with a trigger guard undercut then I believe the Legion is the only one that offers that, maybe the Equinox too
Haha I'm in the same boat. Sadly my state is turning shitty too so I'm really tempted to get it before a high capacity magazine ban. Along with ordering a bunch of mecgar 18 rounders for it
Lol dude SAME. As a kid I had a p226 airsoft gun and I just fell in love with the design of it. A couple years ago I started getting into real firearms and it took me a while to track down what that exact gun was but when I did I was equally stoked and depressed. I thought it was cool that it happened to be the navy seals sidearm, but also sad that it cost SO much money. I’ve finally got to the point where it’s killing me that I down have one yet though. I’ve been eyeballing one for $1,200.00 I know it’s not a great deal but they have a layaway plan so I’m thinking of just doing it. I’ve had good luck in the past buying guns on layaway on gunbroker to get guns that I couldn’t necessarily afford in that moment. Just the prospect of having a real mk25 in 3 months is irresistibly tempting.
I kept mine on layaway for a long while. It was definitely worth it for me! Cool to see im not the only person with a p226 airsoft gun haha. If you get your hands on one, you will not be disappointed.
Just a FYI, the Mk25 comes with the SRT trigger, Short reset trigger, also remove most of the lithium grease from the internals this will bring down the DA trigger pull to about 6.5-7 the SA will be around 3.5-4. Best weapon in the world today!!!
Good video and nice overview. Just picked up a nitron 226 in 40 cal. There’s just something about a 226. It fits the hand perfectly even with medium sized hands and 40 cal is no problem in an aluminum frame gun of this size.
I would say it depends on your intended use for the pistol. It may be a little on the heavy side for concealed carry, however for a home defense pistol I would recommend it to a first time gun owner. It’s reliable, has a good amount of rounds per magazine, and has a rail to attach a flashlight. Make sure to take it to the range and practice with the double- single action of the p226, it feels different from a striker fire pistol like a glock that many people are accustomed with. If you practice with it and get the feeling of the pistol down, then this would make a solid option!
@@jason4453 These are just the original sights the gun came with. Other models might come with different sights but the mk25 comes with these metal night sights that are great.
Yeah I ordered mine from a retailer. It took 7 months to arrive. I picked it up last may, but it was worth the wait since I have other guns! Good news is: during that wait, I just made layaway payments so the price didn't end up feeling like such a hit since I'm not rich!
