Sig Sauer P226 / P229 Legion 9mm Overview and Comparison

See detailed information on Sig Sauer's new P226 Legion and P229 Legion pistols.
See photos and ordering information on our site at www.osagecountyguns.com/blog/n...
The Legion series is basically an enhanced / upgraded version of Sig's existing P226 and P229 platforms. The P226 and P229 are coated in gray PVD (physical vapor deposition) which is the same as Sig's black Nitron coat.
In this video we detail the features of the P226 and P229 Legion and compare the P226 Legion to two of Sig's most similar pistols, the P226 Stainless Elite and P226 Enhanced Elite.
The Legion has enhancements to the frame including more aggressive front strap checkering along with checkering on the front and underside of the magazine well. The frame also has an X-5 undercut making the reach to the trigger slightly reduced.
The Legion uses a Bruce Gray Grayguns Intermediate Adjustable Trigger which allows for changing the over travel.
The grips are two piece G-10 and have the Legion logo along with a texture that allows for a solid grip but hopefully won't overly aggressive.
The Legion pistols are shipping with Sig's new X-Ray3 sights which allow for better day time visibility than Sig's standard SIGLite night sights. They also have tritium inserts like Sig's other night sights.
Other modifications include modified slide stop / release and decocker levers. The ones on these pistols have a reduced profile compared to the standard Sig P226 / P229 models.
Finally, the Legion pistols include after purchase incentives. You will want to register the pistol with Sig Sauer because they will send you a free custom molded case and challenge coin. You'll also receive inside information about new Legion series releases and you'll qualify to buy other Legion logo gear only offered to Legion members. These include holsters, lights / lasers, knives, and lifestyle apparel.

First Class Pistols from Sig, we have learned to expect no less. I believe I will end up with one of each. Been a fan since Mid 80's!

Osage rocks! First to put up a video of the Legion line and one of the first to have them for sale. Can't wait to receive mine! Thanks Osage!

I was just at the gun shop today looking at several Sig guns. I was initially looking at the 365 but now after this video, I will go back to look at the Legion, THanks for your explanation of the guns.

Dude you do the best gun reviews ever. Very impressed with that trigger pull measurement device, thats very professional.

[@AngelEleni]

Awesome! I'm glad Sig did something about the slide release, that's actually a problem I've encountered far too many times when shooting my P226. I seriously hope they start to offer some of these enhancements as upgrades for the regular line of P226's! Wish you had the SAO version to see the reset with the new flat trigger! Great review! Thanks for giving us a first look into the new Legion line!

Thanks so much for the high quality comparison. Your vid assisted in me selecting the right P229 model for me. I look forward to doing more business with Osage County!

[@SethGrefe]

Thanks for the comparison. Sig's promo video had me curious, but this answered all my questions. That Legion looks like my next 9mm.

As a glock guy, I've been looking for something different and your video has me wanting the Legion. Great review! I'm going looking tomorrow!

400 rds through my p229 Legion, no issues, and the reset is outstanding.

Great video and comparison to models already on the market. I'm a huge fan of Sig products and I think they really nailed it with this updated series of firearms. I just recently started shooting firearms at the range in my late 20s. Shot a wide variety of other manufacturers' guns, but there is something special about having a Sig in the hand - it just felt right when I first shot it. Looking forward to see what other models get the legion treatment.

Great video, thank you for showing everyone these excellent weapons from Sig Sauer!

[@billmusket2301]

Had several in my local dealer store, went back 3 days later and all the Legions aww gone,

[@LuisGarcia-tr6tm]

Excellent video - I am in the process of deciding what type of weapon I want and this video provided very useful information.

[@craigcaruthers7426]

Thanks OCG for your comparison review of the Sig Legion with other similar offerings from Sig.

[@aaronneumeyer5572]

The email about this new pistol just hit my inbox from Sig and I found your video already up. Somehow I figured Hickok45 would be the first to get one of these but you've pulled off a heck of a coup and got one first. Thanks so much for the info and have just subscribed!

[@oldschool240]

Great comparison. Looked at all the other & no one did all 3 versions. Well done!

[@Cynical2447]

Awesome video comparison! Just ordered mine, can't wait for it to get here

[@easierb1]

Good review and thank you for the video! Looking forward to the Legion Series.

[@ryanc7929]

Love the new Legion series! Thanks for the great review!

[@AJREGALA]

Great video! Thanks for the detailed descriptions. Sig gave sparse details on the differences in the Legion pistols.
