Sig Sauer P226 Scorpion Elite Review!

[@mybad8805]

This gun is my favorite as well. It has its own pillow on my bed.

[@herpderpington]

I carry this for work, have a wheelgun hold out. Californias gun laws arent too bad if you just ignore them.

[@herpderpington]

Yes that was a joke btw, also when you want to reset the trigger on this gun you don't have to move the slide back that far just a few cm then thumb the hammer back again.;

[@tommyj7022]

I also live in Cali and picking up mine in 10 days (after background check). I was on a waiting list for 5 months for this sig! Lol, but just wanted to say thanks for the awesome review, it was taken into consideration when I placed my order.

[@beardedgear]

Awesome! Glad you were able to get one!

[@alo300wsmsako7]

Tommy which gun store did you get it from

[@KonaLife]

Somehow snagged one from Sportsman’s (also in CA) and shot it for the first time yesterday. Out of the dozen handguns that I own, this one is now my best shooting. Thanks for the great review - it was instrumental in my decision to get one and I’d been waiting for 2.5 years to find one. I just wish that Inforce still sold that light. I had to go with a FDE TLR-1, but it doesn’t really match the gun well like the Inforce’s color.

[@RJGuitz]

I recently converted my Tacops into a Scorpion. Bought Black G10 scorpion grips, 224 slide lock lever and decocker from Osage county guns. Now it looks like a hybrid Legion/Scorpion pistol.

[@beardedgear]

That sounds epic!

[@aaaaa1957]

I buy a gun about once a month. Sometimes I go into my LGS and just pick one out of whatever they have. When they put this one out on display I had to get it, it’s a Sig so I knew it as of good Quality but it’s the color and grips that said buy me. Since I’ve had it its become one of the favorite guns I’ve ever owned. It’s reliable, never had a malfunction and with good ammo is as accurate as anything I’ve shot. Most of all it’s BEAUTIFUL.

[@beardedgear]

Glad you enjoy yours too! It’s my favorite for quite a few reasons 👊🏻

[@robertclark9705]

It also comes standard with the SRT short reset trigger for very fast follow up shots

[@lucaslopez8986]

Picking mine up in 10 days I can't wait, it will be my first fire arm

[@michaelbooth1325]

Just bought one today. Can't wait, 10 more days!

[@beardedgear]

Congrats! I hope you love it as much as I love mine!

[@michaelbooth1325]

Thanks man. Pretty lucky honestly. Most shops are depleted. Couldn't believe my local shop had two yesterday. Went back in today and one was gone. Had to jump on it

[@joshvalentino]

I live in Cali and waited 6 months to get this pistol. But it definitely was worth the wait! Also agree about the FDE Inforce light looking the best on this gun. I was lucky to find 2 of those lights at Ammo Bros lol. Only needed one but got an extra one just in case.

[@alo300wsmsako7]

Lucky its going to be 2 in september years since I ordered mine and still waiting

[@ITube4RealFun]

I placed an order with my local Turner Outdoor on Dec 30th 2021, as of July 1st 2022 still haven't gotten it. Last week I just happened to check email at the right time and saw my other local gun store had 5 in stock and immediately placed my order online. All 5 were sold out in 5 mins.

[@bryanstone7237]

My buddy just picked up a p226 up. Can't wait to get a chance to take it to the range with em.

[@Shadowdancer777]

Love my p226 extreme. I live in California too. This and my 92fs are my favorite pistols.

Does your 226 have mag safety?

Great review, Jake! That looks like a great pistol, especially configured the way you have it.

[@beardedgear]

Thanks Paul! It certainly works well for me 👍🏻

[@mackie1201]

Thanks for this man. I think you have me sold specially here in CA.

[@beardedgear]

This is as good as it gets on the California Roster haha

[@Mffl1014]

2 to 3000 rounds and the gun looks brand spanking new really nice job on the maintenance of the gun

[@beardedgear]

Thanks man! I’m Anal about cleaning after every range day haha

[@cjanderson1011]

Great fun!!! Currently I have the Legion P226 9mm, P320 XCarry, NRA Edition P365......I’m on the hunt for the P365XL NRA Edition.

[@AlexSwan]

Very nice video mate. Bought the exact same pistol right after watching your vid. Cheers

[@alo300wsmsako7]

Great pistol I ordered its going to be 2 years in september since I ordered one.

[@bzinny]

gotta love 226 and 229 in cali, if you can find one

[@SanBernardinoGuns]

I can’t find that light

[@Polo.45]

Just bought one 5 day ago. Nice review!

[@brandonrossiter2522]

Thinking about making this my first pistol purchase, good info man!

[@beardedgear]

Glad you enjoyed watching! I sincerely love mine 👍🏻

[@NexaTrade]

have you considered switching the magazine release?

[@nachos_70firebird66]

My only gripe with the P226 Scorpian with Hot loads of 9mm the G-10 grips flex and move around everytime I shoot. But the Scorpian is a Fantastic Shooter.

[@roguemodel]

There is a reason why the SEALs chose this pistol. In fact, it is still in use. I really like the Elite; the grip is awesome. The X5 Legion is my absolute favorite, mainly due to the trigger. This is the one!

[@tristandauod]

I was hoping you had a video on this Sig after seeing it in your recent Deka video thumbnail haha👌🏼 awesome pistol🔥

[@beardedgear]

Thanks man! It’s my favorite firearm I own 🙌🏻

[@tristandauod]

@@beardedgear love the grips on it🔥

[@jakewyatt7013]

Great review. I’ve seen a handful of reviews and pics; it’s seems the FDE color isn’t consistent. Is it just the lighting of videos or pics. Does anyone know if the color has been the same with sig fde guns?

[@NemoPropaganda]

I have the extreme version and cannot shoot straight with the damn thing to save my life yet I drill bullseyes with my G17, I do not understand what I'm doing wrong.

[@maxthehumandog]

what model is the inforce light i see only black

[@HustleHabit]

Beautiful piece. Light matches perfectly 👌🏽

[@hellaskinnyskyn]

I just got mine today and I love you set up, is there anyway I can send me a link for that light? I also got the FDE

[@markjacksonmusic21]

I just got mine. Is there a way to make it a single action only?

[@alanschaub147]

Jake: I just bought this same gun. I think I will add the same light. Could you make a video of how well the light works? Also, would you ever consider putting a Red Dot on it?

[@dtomknivesandgear6635]

Great video! Love this gun. I have never owned one but have fired them and it is such a great weapon. What holster do you run?

[@beardedgear]

Holsters are tricky for me since I’m left handed and have a light mounted. But I have a Veil Solutions holster ordered that I should be getting soon. It’ll be a solid OWB rig since I don’t have plans to concealed carry this gun.

[@dtomknivesandgear6635]

This one or p229 elite?

[@rootedexpeditions]

awesome gun !!! you do so well with your video bro!!

[@dakinlott]

Hey Jake! 1st off awesome video! Have you looked into the H&K p2000? I would highly reccomend this one for left handed shooters. It feels very similar to the p226.

[@beardedgear]

It’s definitely on my list 👌🏻

[@ITube4RealFun]

Just bought this gun 2 days ago. "For vain reason", not vain at all. This gun is bought for the color so it makes sense that any accessories should match as well.

[@officiallysir]

Very curious as to what holster you use for concealed carry? I have not been able to find one cut for sights

[@notatroll5993]

Nice gun but I can't find it with 15 round mags. I'll just get the legion version of this gun since I am collecting all the legions

[@stumpshot9970]

I just bought a used sig 226 extreme in 40. Its ca compliant but I live in another state. Guessing someone from ca moved here and got something else. Are the ca sigs as reliable as non ca sigs. I haven't gotten to shoot it yet as there is too much snow to get to where I shoot. Right now I'm kind of riding the fence if I want to keep it or just get a new slide for it. Any thought would be awsome. Thanks much. Great video too

[@KonaLife]

They are the exact same gun with the addition of the loaded chamber indicator on the top. It’s actually not as bad as it sounds.

[@francois1048]

Great review man. Is that particular model still available?

[@beardedgear]

As far as I know yes 👍🏻

[@francois1048]

@@beardedgear thanks! One last thing. What holster do you use with it?

Since I’m left handed and it has the inforce installed it’s been hard to find one, but I have one ordered custom from Veil Solutions that I hope to get soon 👍🏻

Helped my parents move out of thier houses (2 houses because they separated but live together again) but they said they'd give me a few grand for the help. Man I want a 226 scorpion 😂

[@beardedgear]

Well I hope you’re able to get one, they’re awesome!

[@AlexSwan]

Too bad they don't make that INFORCE anymore. Suits the scorpion by far the best.

[@_Bandido1911]

How do you sharpen your knifes ?

[@gshock3092]

Like the FDE color . I use to have a German made version .

[@jonduncansakurawallknifegarden]

I compete with a sig sp2022 in 9mm and wanted to get one. I’m looking at paying 1800 on GUnbroker, as I can’t find it for cheaper. Like you, I don’t own a ton of guns, but I’m always collecting more. I wish we had more on our roster and that prices weren’t so crazy. Great video. I’m a knife collector above all else, but I do shoot constantly and I compete in stee challenge uspsa once a month. Great video.

[@beardedgear]

I think Tactical Arms Group in Thousand Oaks CA has one in stock, not sure what they’re asking for it though.

[@robertmorales7250]

How heavy is it with 20 rounds

[@jonduncansakurawallknifegarden]

Do you mind me asking what you paid before fees ...? I’m looking at around 1800 plus out of art are fees and drosfees etc. I’m about to pull the trigger on one but I’m worried I might be paying a little much, as I also see one from my hometown of Santa Clara county for 2400 on gunbroker on 4.20.21. Yikes.

I think a paid a little over 1K after fees back when I bought it. It was actually on sale when I got mine 😂

[@acme9538]

Can you explain more about the full capacity magazines and the period of time they were available in CA ? Thank you and great review.

[@beardedgear]

There was about a week where there was an opening that they were available to be purchased in CA thanks to Judge Benitez. I bought a lot of magazines that week.

[@acme9538]

@@beardedgear Thank you for the quick reply. 1 more question if I may, . . . during that week were gun owners allowed to purchase full capacity magazines for handguns sold in CA that came with 10 round magazines at the original purchase? Or was it only for guns sold prior to the 10 round maximum law? Hope I worded that correctly. Thanks again.

[@beardedgear]

As far as I understand it all magazines were fair game regardless of when the firearm was manufactured or purchased.

[@ThienNguyen-od2hb]

Hi there! Thank you for the video! I realize your gun doesn't have mag safety, does it? Because I bought mine, and it has mag safety which I cannot fire when no mag inserted! That's really annoy! Do you know how to remove that function?

[@theburrowedowl1540]

Why is that a problem? Do you intend on shooting it without a magazine inserted? Really stupid.

[@beardedgear]

I actually agree with the original comment, it’s stupid to not be able to fire with a magazine in, if you’re changing your magazine and have one in the chamber and there is still a threat, having one in the pipe can make a big difference.

[@lucemagee4534]

[@charliemcawesome5012]

Ok no snark..... gotta work on that.... Anyway great review. Great pistol. I used to have 3 P226’s and a multitude of other SiG’s and a others..... all I shoot now is a CZ. The Shadow 2 being the current king of pistols. I’m not saying this to pea on the P226 because they are great pistols, but because U.S. shooters very rarely look at CZ. Try one, let us know what you think. And the S2 Optic Ready, if you want that RMR will blow you away. It’s why it is the dominant competition platform. Laterz.

[@beardedgear]

I’ve actually had the chance to fire a few CZ’s and liked all of them, and have a few close friends that own and love them. I may end up owning one before long.
