I picked a new one on Monday and I definitely feel it's with the price. On my first range trip with her yesterday I shot the best group I've ever shot with any handgun, and I've owned some of the so called "top dogs" The bullseye on my target is 2"x 2" square and I put 49 out of 50 shots in the bull and the miss was only .75" away. This is with nearly 63 year old eyes and the iron sights. I tweak the trigger a little to get it where I like it and I can honestly say it's the best trigger I've ever experienced. It even beats the CZ TSO I had. Stay safe and keep the videos coming! (I gave you a Like and a Sub)
It's not that they couldn't figure out a way to keep a rear sight, they did, they just wanted to be able to charge you for one to the tune of $130 for a new front and rear set of suppressor height sights.
@MrDucatiV4 it's 80 for the rear sight But if you get the 226 with romeo x pro from the factory it comes with the red dot and rear sight for about 280$ less than buying separately
I have the P229 Legion, a great gun. I bought the 226 X5 Legion and man, I was shocked. The trigger is great, beveled, FAST, and accurate, that's it accurate. You would swear Sig didn't do this. Did they?
SIG Legion series always seem to knock it out of the ball park. Why don't they upgrade the triggers with Gray Guns? I lov my P229 DA/SA Also about enjoying what you do. Clearly you enjoy shooting and are a gun enthusiast. Thanks for sharing.
I have owned a P226 Legion DA/SA for 7 years now, love that gun as well....... compared to the Legion X5, the P226 is not even close to the performance of the X5 - you will think your trigger on your P229 is garbage once you shoot the Legion X5 - trust me!!!!!
its based on a competition gun. Most of us in the competition space dont use the slide lock when shooting. Reload before the mags are empty while moving. Mags without slide locks also tend to hold an extra round or two.
Sounds like a good idea i but can we really justifuy buying one? Or even the "Non-Legion" P226 XFIVE" ($3300 CAD)?? We're paying for the TXG weighted grip and in the case of this gun the COMP as well...is it worth an extra $1500 (CAD) plus to get a 45 oz polymer gun that has less muzzle rise?? :) Over a "STD P226 Legion"?? I can't. If you want a heavier gun weighing in at over 40oz why not just guy a steel frame 1911?? Best stock trigges over any other jgun platforms e.g. striker fire, Alu frame guns.....everyone is trying to come colose to duplicating the shoottablity of a 1911...no one's come close... Want a "race gu"...buy a RACE GUN e.g. Infinity... "buy the gun for the intended use"!1 too many guys don't seem too sure....end up with race guns for "home defense"..."gee it has a light 2.5 pound trigger...i can get faster follow up shots..YEAH!!" :) Don't want that in tha defensive situation....a "hair trigger"... Odd....in Canada they can only get select guns I'm told...this gun is impossible to 'Find"....can't get the Glock 45....they also get guns htat are "marked up" the XFIVE p226 sells for $3300 CAD :))
Yikes $3300 is a lot. I could get an atlas for $6500 but the problem with 2011 pistol if you accidentally allow the slide to fall without a cartridge to cushion it, can damage the aear
The grip, for me, has better ergonomics than a 2011. The trigger is every bit as good as any 1911 or 2011 despite the fanboy myth that there is no better trigger than a 1911. The P226 X-5 Legion trigger is totally adjustable for takeup, over travel, trigger pull weight, AND trigger position within the trigger guard - without the need to disassemble the gun and "tweak" internal parts. It's not a "race gun" and isn't meant to be. I own a SIG P226 X-5 Legion, AND an STI DVC 2011, and eight other 1911s from production guns to full custom. The SIG is a really good gun. It's accurate and fun to shoot.

High price tag considering they couldn't figure out how to mount an optic without losing the rear sight.
Sig makes a rear sight for this that you can install after the plate is removed and optic installed.
It's not that they couldn't figure out a way to keep a rear sight, they did, they just wanted to be able to charge you for one to the tune of $130 for a new front and rear set of suppressor height sights.
The Romeo X and Romeo XC have rear sight built into them.
It pisses me off that they charge $140 for the taller rear sight! Should have included it from the beginning for a $2400 gun!

Love me a Sig!! My X Macro is great! If I had money I’d love to grab one of those bad boys . AR is first in line though lol. Great video brother!!
“Added weight to the grips to make it feel like an all steel gun” never heard that joke before.
How is the return to zero at speed?
Finally someone actually shooting this gun. Thanks for the excellent review!
For returning to zero, it does a very good job, I don’t know if I’m ready to stack it up against staccato p, but it close
SIG Legion series always seem to knock it out of the ball park.
Why don't they upgrade the triggers with Gray Guns?
I lov my P229 DA/SA
Also about enjoying what you do.

The gray guns trigger is trash compared to this trigger
@@atlelew hopefully be able to check one for myself soon. Thanks

Great video I just received mine today p226 xfive legion shoots nice
Nice what’s the difference between the scorpion elite , and the Legion
TY for the video/ review

Awesome review, great shooting buddy. That’s a helluva nice pistol.👍
Buddy, that’s some dead nut shooting buddy!👍
Damn dude you handle that thing like a lollipop. I love the gun hate the review
I was looking at the P226 Legion SAO for a reliable hammer fired full size 9mm. Any reason I should save up for this instead?
Return to zero is much faster with the 226 z5 legion, but I’ll be putting a video out tonight that might not be to popular
@@SMOKINGGUN6264I am not a fan of adjustable triggers as they can move
Mann why didnt i see this 2 weeks ago? Is it priced under 1199?
2200

How much does it cost if you don't mind me asking ;)
At scheels it cost me 2199.00
Seen this at 2199.00 most places I've found them.
Looks like Ankeny shooting range.
This is definitely not worth it. I do not recommend it at all. Quality control is a big issue with the coating and rusting on the internals.
Try a heavier bullet, my 226 x5 Legion loves 147 grain ammo, the recoil is absolutely non existent.
another perfectly good flex ruined by an olight
nice
slap a gold barrel on this, trust me
Olight on a $2400 pistol lmao
Yep lmao fucking olight
Thought the same thing. It's what you roll with when you spent all your money on the gun.
