Here is a hands on look of a Sig Sauer P229 Legion SAO. This is Sig's first single action P229 and it is simply awesome. Please leave any questions or comments down below, I get back to everything that is commented.

I'm not sure if you're still looking for a holster but I have 2 options for you: a cheap but reliable leather IWB holster from Amazon a company called Flower & Gun, or what I'm currently waiting on is a Vedder IWB Kydex holster. They make an OWB version for the P229 legion SAO as well!

I bought a Sig P238 as my first pistol and anything I've shot since has not measured up in how a SAO trigger feels or works for me. Call me spoiled from day one! I've started browsing different makes of 1911s for my next purchase, but after absorbing some reviews of the P229 Legion SAO, I may have to save up a bit longer. Thanks for sharing.

@NuclearGrizzly5 жыл бұрын
I'll have to check one out. Still have my early sheet metal 220 but I've never been able to warm up Sig's. But that undercut may do the trick. Most of my 1911's have that "Luger" undercut rather than the usual straight undercut.
@TheFallingHammer5 жыл бұрын
Sig definitely hit a home run with this one. It's like a hybrid of a p229 and 1911, with the best features of both. That and the compact size makes this one of the best EDC pistols I've ever seen in SAO.

@rayclay22994 жыл бұрын
With the safety off the SAO is way faster than the DA/SA. With that I would NOT suggest carrying it without the safety ON. The trigger is very light.

@@rayclay2299 thanks for the comment. i actually already bought a SAO legion. loved it. not that different than the DA/SA. i personally think the SAO is actually safer with the safety off because you have to slide the back hammer in the back position before you can fire. in DA/SA you can fire no matter what you just have a longer pull but it will fire.

Hey Mike! I've gotten very comfortable with and prefer SAO so I would have to say the SAO. The single action is still a bit better in my M11a1 right now but having 1 trigger pull all the time vs 2 takes the cake for me.
@Pippinm75 жыл бұрын
TheFallingHammer totally agree I have the p226 SAO and love it, but had been looking at the M11A1. I wish the safety’s were not as pronounced and I actually wish there was no pronounced beaver tail on the p226 SAO. I honestly don’t notice a difference “functionally” when shooting with or without a beaver tail. I love the flat trigger on the SAO! Love the channel bc I love the sigs and not a lot of channels cover them like you! Thanks-Mike

@@TheFallingHammer what are your pros/cons to each? Yes I meant Legions. I can currently get a p226 legion rx DASA but I'm worried it's too big for my hands and concealment. Or I can get the p229 legion rx SAO which I think will fit my hand better but not sure which to go with. I guess I feel the DASA is safer lol and prefer the 229 compact size.
@TheFallingHammer4 жыл бұрын
@@unclejoemode the size difference isn't massive but the 229 carries easier. I started carrying DASA with my M11a1. Under stress getting 2 shots off at the same spot isn't the easiest. A ton of people say it's easy but it's easy to brag on the internet. I can get a knee jerk double tap off with DASA and have them within a foot of each other. I easily cut that in half with SAO. I started off anti safety but fell in love with 1911s. Once I got used to that, sig SAOs were the perfect gun for me. My trigger pull in the M11a1 is about 7.5 pounds DA and 2.0 in single. My 229 SAO is about 2.75 pounds. If you are more comfortable with DASA you can find a 229 legion in the same configuration DASA or SAO.

Is it possible to buy this gun in .40 and put a .357 sig barrel in it?
@TheFallingHammer5 жыл бұрын
229 SAO only comes in 9mm right now. You can swap a 40 slide on it and use a 357 sig barrel. The only problem is the 40 slides are wider and the safety will not clear the slide to engage. So you can get it to theoretically function, but the safety won't work so I wouldn't recommend that at all. Ask me how I know 😂😂
