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

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 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.

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.

This is not the only Sig where you lose the rear sight when you remove the cover plate so this is nothing new. I am not new to Sig I know exactly what im talking about sir. Yes you lose the rear sight only when you remove the cover plate. It’s not like the gun just doesn’t come with a rear sighting system like people in the comments are thinking.

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.

Should still come with a rear sight for $2k

Romeo 2 is cool. But overpriced for not being a real enclosed optic and the dam shroud screws are super fragile

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!!

I thought of purchasing it for duty use... Way too heavy!!
@Cortezuma2 ай бұрын
I mean, it’s intentionally heavy. Staccato is being used for duty all over the place and it’s heavy too. Do you want it to shoot better or carry better? It’s always a trade off.

Nice pistol but I’m not going through all that jazz to get sights and mounting solutions. If the handgun doesn’t come ready I ain’t buying it .

Not many guns come ready these days. Actually none that I can think Of that come with quality plates. And the solution is simple now. If you were buying one

So glad i went with the p226 legion sao instead of this! That's hogwash it's a grand more than the legion and it doesn't even come with a rear sight. Plus I've heard the comp gums up really fast.
