gotta say, the 226 is one of my all time favorites. It's big, solid, built like a tank, accurate, fun to shoot, low recoil, just a great hand gun. The industry issue with plates, screw lengths, pitches etc... someone needs to figure this out. The gold standard is the RMR, so everyone adopt that and let's move on. thanks for the video

As an owner, I can confirm that the rear sight is a bit of a bummer. I bought one and added it. DPP mounts with zero issues as well as the Romeo2. I think your concerns about the gas pedal seem a tad dramatic. If you can’t reach it then your no worse off than shooting a gun with nothing there. Great reference to the sig guy video… it is essential viewing. Can’t wait to see you run the gun against other pistols!

I agree the rear replacement sight should be included. Mine is finally on the way from Sig. I was able to obtain a single RMR optics plate and screws from my local gun store that fits and works perfectly with a Trijicon SRO. I love the gas pedal and can easily reach the slide release with my thumb. I do have large hands however, and I can see how these could be an issue for those with smaller hands. Everything about this gun is perfect for me so far. It should be at this price.

I am a 07 FFL / 07 SOT, and I was very excited about this firearm. After receiving it, I was disappointed for the same reasons in this video. I don't carry a Sig daily, but I do have most of the Legion's and love my V-TAC and CW FCU's. But the rear sight issue, the manual safety only, the safety being in the way of the slide stop are all deal breakers for me. I sold it to a client who is used to the 1911/2011 platform, and it was perfect for him as he put on a DPP with the rear sight integrated. I love my X5-Legion and X-Carry Legion, plus the XCompact and XCARRY Spectre's, plus the Spectre Comp, and my Max Michel, I cannot find the value in this particular Legion unless you are a collector or used to this style of firearm. Nice piece but plenty other people want and need.

Because they don’t come with the rear sight. That’s why they are sold on the website. When sig sent me the rear irons. They sent one for the 226 X5 Legion and one for the 226 X5 Stass so either you don’t have the same gun. Or what you are telling me is you dont have a red dot on it. Because when you say, “ i got it out the Box with a rear sight on it. You are correct. The Irons plate has the rear sight attached. When you remove it, to mount a red dot. You loose the rear sight. And have to buy the sight from the sig website.

I consider myself a P226 fanboy. They had this firearm at my range for rental and I took it out and shot it. I absolutely love it however, I did experience the issue with the safety as mentioned in the video. The only reason I’m gonna hold back on buying it now is the price. I have a P226 ZEV and I shot that just as well as this firearm but this firearm does shoot much flatter. For the price, I’d rather get a Bul Armory SAS II 5 inch. But if money wasn’t an object, I’d probably buy both

I've got a 229 SAO, honestly don't mind the safety 'issue', just put it on safe, perform reload, go under safety to drop slide (thumb already there since it moved safety up from bottom), disengage safety. I have found however that the large safety can disengage during carry due to it just being so big on the exposed side

Delta Point Pro and the Romeo1 Pro fit the P226 X5 Legion without having to purchase any other plate. The gun does come with a rear sight, but it has to be removed to add a red dot. At that point there is a need to purchase the rear sight talked about in the video. The video is a little misleading there. Again, the P226 X5 Legion comes with an adjustable rear sight from the factory.

Thanks, great review! I totally agree with your comments and almost bought one at my LGS because I have always wanted a X-Five. However, upon doing some more research I passed on it. I have several of Sig's SAOs in 220, 226, and 229 and I do not use the slide release so it is not an issue. The optic system, aluminum frame, and shorten barrel were issues for me. Going with the lighter alloy frame, moving all the weight to the rear with the infused grips, and relying on porting to compensate for this is not appealing to me. I have shot the German X-Five and it is a dream as it is. I'll wait and get the American version.

Great pistol, but the best P226? That would be the German Mastershop made P226 X5 Supermatch. I've owned about 3 dozen different Sig P226/220/225/229, a variety of models, and that Supermatch is simply the Best. Full stop.

Price is all subjective people pay 4k for a Stacatto and they are the glock of the 2011 market. For the single action trigger mag well waaaay better trigger the extra 700+ for the X-5 legion plus the cool factor over the basic p320 axg legion. I feel the extra cash is worth it. And the parts I discussed not having, yes they were aggravating, but the fix was available.

@@darkdre7 I feel #1 would be budget. If you look at the p320 AXG and the P320 AXG legion you are getting the expansion chamber, and the legion Trim. But not much else. With the 226 X-5 legion you get the expansion chamber, the legion trim, magwell, tall x-ray sights for the rds, a little heavier gun, and the 4 way adjustable trigger. - The feature set is more robust, I feel the gun shoots softer, and there is some cool factor to it over the P320 AXG legion. - Would a comparison review between. The two guns be of interest? Maybe that's something I should do In the future. Kind of like a virtual range day, between the two guns? With the review focusing on Performance between the two?

@@straplyfedj I just looked at your Channel. Before you comment about a pistol you don’t own. Do some research, educate yourself. So when you speak you are educated on the topic. The iron sights on this pistol. Are on the optic plate cover. When you remove the Optics plate. And mount red dot on the pistol you need to purchase ther rear iron sight that mounts to the slide of the pistol. Knowing what you are talking about, helps.

I understand what you are saying about the rear sight but also see why Sig did what they did, even if we don’t agree with it. If you’re shooting gun with iron sights, the back plate has a rear sight built in. Sig likes selling their optics. Both the Romeo X and the Romeo 2 have built in rear sights. Once you factor in costs, the RMR plus the plates needed plus the back sight, it’s the same price as the Romeo 2. To me, I prefer my R2 over my RMR, but that’s just my opinion.

Sig has always priced their accessories off the chart higher than any other major gun manufacturer. Accessories from the OEM shouldn't be a profit center due to its necessity!! Sig and a few other gun manufacturers will never get a dollar from me again. Glock is the worst at producing a handgun that needs accessories to actually make it complete with SIG not too far behind. Not the owner of a Canik, but they have it figured out. When buying a Canik, they actually send a cleaning kit and many other useful things like a holster in the same box the handgun is sold in .... Gun industry needs more Caniks and fewer Glocks & Sigs!!
