Handled the SIG P226 Legion SAO and the 320 X-five and it was a mistake...

good gracious.... The SAO trigger on the Legion is almost as good as my Dan Wesson 1911 and that's saying something. The reset on the SIG is shorter. It's almost unbelievably short. And the grips feel great and the pistol just oozes quality.

The X-five 320 has awesome sights and ergos, and a very nice trigger. It's heavier than I would like but for a striker it's about as crisp as you could ask for. I want both pistols. Now do decide if I really do need TWO kidneys...

LOL! Nice. I have handled a 226 and a 229 Legion. I was really impressed as well. The triggers are sweet and the overall features of the gun made it a pretty nice package, and I thought reasonably priced also.

I think you still need at least one kidney so that might limit your SIG acquisitions! But actually I have had a P226, a P228, and a P229 and the P229 with it's Short Reset Trigger (along with the E2 grips), would be my first choice of the three. If I could have my druthers between the P226 Legion and the P320 X5 it would be the P226 Legion with the SAO trigger.
 
Good to hear. I like hearing about these new guns and can not wait to see them.

My local store usually displays about 100 handguns, mostly Smith/Wesson revolvers and Kimber 1911s. They say they have had Sigs on order for a year and just can not get them in!

I do hope to see these news ones at some point. J
 
I have the P226 Legion SAO, and yes, everything you have heard about them is true!

I swapped out the sights, which is unusual because everyone raves about the xray sights that come as standard. I just found a set of Truglo TFX fiber optic night sights that I was totally in love with. That front sight now just explodes in my old eyes!

If anyone does decide to replace their sights, a quick word of warning: My Legion P226 SAO came with both sights as a number 8, so I ordered a set from Truglo as 8F/8R, and I started shooting about 6" high at 15 yards. I had to go back and exchange the 8F for a 6F, and now have 6F/8R sights, and it is once again spot on using a combat sight picture.
 
If Kel-Tec replaces your PF-9, at least you can keep your kidney and sell that gun to help fund a Sig.
 
Come on man be optimistic. You should at least be able to gat a magazine, AND a box of crappy steel cased target ammo. :thumbup:
 
Do you think the 320 X-5 will give the Walther PPQ 5 inch Match a run for its money?

Seven pound trigger pull on the 320?? That is what I just read somewhere.
