Sig Sauer P226 SAO Legion 1000 Round Review: Worth The Money? 

Are you going to war anytime soon?

@@JustMe-999a What has that to do with anything?

Great list, don't forget CZ75.

​@@elcidcampeador9629 Ya... TBH, I was thinking that in ANY sort of SHTF scenario, no matter how minor or domestic, who WOULDN'T want a firearm that was known as something to "go to war equipped with"? Lol

@@TheDylls Right.

Hilarious

...anyone, anyone?

A man with priorities so out of whack doesn’t deserve such a fine firearm.

@@glasair38sr 🙌🏼 🙌🏼. He just rubs it with a diaper...

At 10m with the reticle, I can literally see the hole open up in the target right behind the red dot before the recoil takes my hand. It's phenomenal.

That awesome wow 9k rounds. Did you have to replace any parts throughout this time due to normal wear?

The SIG P239 was never produced in .380

@@chrisragone8785 likely he meant the P238 SAO and I'd rather have the P239 or a P365.

I’m really not sure which variant should I buy, the double action with a curved trigger or SAO with a flat trigger.

Sao

how many people did you body with it brehhhhh

Agreed. Go Tigers!

I love the P226/P229. My P226 is reliable, durable, grip texture is great, and the trigger is one of the best. You are right that it's super fun to shoot. You go through so much ammo quickly if you aren't paying attention. If Sig ever makes a model with a lower bore axis (maybe a modern version of the Sig P210 with all the features of the P226), it would be the perfect pistol to me. Even with a lot of training (I probably shoot my Sig P226 and Walther PPQ the most out of all of my guns), I still can't do as well with those as I could with my gen 3 Glock 19.

@@JacksonWalter735 I never criticism a person's preference for a firearm. Glock has never been a pistol liked. Not that it's not a great pistol but never could adjust to the grip angle. Love the PPQ though. I am forth coming admitting I'm a Sig and CZ fan! Thanks for your comments!!

I agree I have the P229 and P220 and by far are my favorite pistols.

The real cost of admission now is the cost of ammo. I know golfers that spend spend a hundred dollars a week on range fees and balls. They to save a hundred dollars on the clubs they’ll use for years. Same with gun owners. SMH.

They are not cheap but they are worth it I purchased the 226 in the MK 25 version. It is extremely accurate and has never failed. Sigg makes beautiful 20 round magazines for it. They only extend slightly and it helps you get a hold of the mag to grip it. When you’re shooting this gun you feel fantastic because there’s nothing you can’t hit.

@@stevenlefebvre2991 If you keep your eyes open, you can find some great deals on them, especially used. CDNN was blowing out some 226 and 229 in .40 & .357 that were factory refurbished E2 models with rail for $500 and look new.

Yes they are amazing I have 2, one is in 40 S&W DAK and the other is in 9mm SA/DA The 40 is a police trade in I only paid $349 and the 9mm was another police trade in and is a West German Sig only paid $500 sweet shooting guns even in used condition all they needed was some cleaning a little slight holster but like like brand new

Rock on Stoup Deezy

@@DinoNucci yes

It is really important for a gun to fit your hand. Kinda like buying a good pair of shoes. The p238 fit my hand really good and I did try Glock,smith and Wesson and Ruger . Love my sig. went to pickup more ammo and told the woman that sold it to me that I thought it was an angry little bastard. She Carrie’s the same 380.

The most natural fitting guns i've shot are the 226, BHP, and CZ75. 1911 has very natural angle too but it doesn't fill my hand as much. Glock, Smith, M9, don't feel as natural to me.

My dad's 229 is always top of my list for him to bring to our twice yearly range days. Funny enough he's more accurate with my 365 so he wants to trade. I'm considering it.

@@pxjydz303 I would also like a p365 but I’m stuck in commiefornia so I’m not “allowed” to own one. I did find a great deal on a Glock 43 that will get me buy till I make it to a free state. The 229 and 365 are both superb firearms but I’m definitely bias towards sig.

@@OrionPax-nm9tf 2nd amendment confirms your right to own what you want. Problem those pussy states have is people complying to unconstitutional laws. Do. Not. Comply.

@@OrionPax-nm9tf I am not sure that you know what communism is

I got one broken for 800. Sent it back and all I paid was shipping. It came with the legion case and goodies but I'm blocked from buying any of the merch.

@@t436 oh well, that's Still an AMAZING Deal! 👌🤠

@@sevenwonders1717 Can't win them all. 1st world problems I can't buy a hat or T shirts. I got the gun I walk past for 3 years saying to myself one day.

@@t436 Sorry to hear that! Go to this Link and "apply" to be a Beneficiary Weekly. www.tymppistolproject.com/

@@t436 I bought mine private party, who had already registered it with Sig. I simply called them, gave them the serial number, and they registered it to my account. I can now shop the Legion store.

Yes please just thinking the same thing

and for HK usp expert do you have any expereince ? which is the best for range shooting ?

@@karansabz Never had a USP, but had an HK. Preferred the P226 over the HK, though that could be a caliber thing. I'd love to shoot a full size USP in 9mm to see how it is.

Do you recommend it forba very very very First gun?

@@aymanjoudar5425 if you can afford it yes

That is my intent, G Lock for hime Dee and the Bad Ass once for range days and Binding w Like-minded pew pew lovers!

Honest Outlaw is my go to reviewer of firearms. He is clearly skilled as a shooter, and does not get deep in the weeds of the internal workings beyond what an owner needs to grasp for durability, reliability, accuracy and yes, even economy. I only worry that one day he might poke a hole in one of those grain silos a mile past his range when he reviews a crappy AR.

WOW! Talk about getting lucky.

Nice 👍🙂

I won mine at an auction for $530. 🙂

@@9gagerofl How do you like it so far?

@@gregorywebster6640 its definitely the nicest production pistol i own. If I could change one or two things it would definitely be trigger oriented. Less take up in single action, and decrease poundage from 4 to 3.5… Beyond that, the pistol is imo near perfection

I love my DA/SA, just get some extra recoil springs, I’ve found they crap out after 5k rounds

Picked up an old West German made in 88 WITH ammo for 650. Pretty good condition with very little wear.

I've the same but 50$ more, $600. The P226 nitron. That's the base model correct?

Agreed my 226 stainless enhanced elite shoot great for an "all steel" gun lol

I have one as well and love it. Id put.

Me too. I just bought an elite “stainless” p229 the other day, with the wooden grips. I shot that side by side a rented p226 and p229. I love the modern legion versions too, which I’m familiar with as I own the p220 legion. For me main difference between the elite and the legion are the sights,(I prefer the modern sig sights), and the slide release. My thumb apparently hits the bigger one on the elite, at times negating the last round bolt hold open. On the legions they are smaller to help stop that I suppose. Now, I can simply place my thumb slightly away from the slide release now that I know what’s going on. Also the legion g10 grip texture is amazing. But while actually shooting, hard to tell the difference. At the end, I may add the legion p226 or p229. All the p200 series guns are unbelievable guns. The way they feel when shooting.

That’s awesome, I have a mk 25 coming down the pipe in the next few weeks, pre - order, my first sig owned. DA/SA I prefer for safety measures..

The PX4 with the LTT upgrades is incredibly hard to beat. Will outshoot even this P226 in most cases.

So far i just bought the LTT 10lb hammer spring , and yest it imprives the trigger pull tremendously ! Only cost $12 best value upgrade ever

@@RedEyePergo Check out the enhanced trigger bar that LTT offers. It’s about $45 and improve the trigger reset and weight even more.

Nice gonna give it a look , thinking about a stipple job too but I might just stck with my diy talon grips

Damn that’s quite a statement with that comparison with Wilson combat. I’ve only held a WC, not actually shot one. But yes these sigs have simply unbelievable triggers and a certain feel when shooting.

I’m really not sure which variant should I buy, the double action with a curved trigger or SAO with a flat trigger

@@Alshabh15 If I had it to do over again I would probably opt for the SAO since I only use it at the range.

@@Alshabh15 another thing to know. You will never get the carrying case or challenge coin. I've been waiting for over a year for mine. No big deal except I hate being lied to.

@@Terry12345 thank you for your response, I was told that I would have to register my gun at Sig Sauer’s website to obtain that coin. I think it’s a preventative measure to make sure it gets to the actual user.

I just bought the SP01 and a 226 legion. Always wanted a 236 and a CZ. Might have overdone it getting both 🤣. I'm curious how my cz will do compared to my jericho 941. IWI based the jericho on the 75. Hoping to get by the range this weekend to test them out

@@ShaunFVG what did you think between them?

We have the P938 and the P238, as well the the P365...

The P938 is my favorite micro pistol. only 8 rounds but it takes the recoil really well for a small pistol

Have you tried a CZ 75 style?

Agreed. The 92X might have its number. Close call.

@@J.Young808 I agree. I recently bought the p226 legion. Love it. But yesterday a rented a cz75. Shit. The cz is definitely a strong consideration for my next gun, to put it lightly.

@@rudrashakti108 is your legion sa only? What do you like better about the CZ?

@@JayyBird93 my legion is sa only. I like da/sa too like my p220, but was fascinated by that thumb safety. It’s very well placed, and super easy to manipulate. It helps me not hit the slide release on the last round so the slide always stays open on the last round. But, for defense, I would prefer being able to pre stage my finger on the da/sa trigger as I pull it out of the holster. The CZ is very flat shooting. That’s what struck me about it. And it is ergonomic, (though for me nothing beats a p226/p229 as far as how they feel), and it has a certain old European vintage look. And it’s also all metal with a hammer. Now, that safety it comes with is really atrocious, so I recommend always getting the decocker only. Anyway, Since I can’t conceal the p226 on my person at all with my slim waist, (say as opposed to a p229), I ended up buying a CZ 75 compact PCR, decocker only. I love that gun too. The p226 will be for home/ car /apocalypse-no-need-to-conceal defense, while that CZ will me EDC being smaller. Now as opposed to the full size cz it’s not as flat shooting, though I still like how it shoots. I enjoy shooting the p226 more than the cz compact, but the cz is simply more concealable. And My ruger sp101 is in my rotation for slimmer clothes.

TFC you prefer SAO over the dual action? Ready to go with 226 as it's available. But I sure like that 220 in 45. Just hard to find.

Agreed on the Legion thing. They’ve had issues with the PVD coating over the years and the optics cut is for a shitty optic. Otherwise definitely a good value
