😂 “they’re low affordable price” of $2,299! WTF uses the words affordable and $2k for a handgun. Gtfo p226 legion is a beast and shoots so so nice for half of that price.
Been a Sig fan forever, which means I know that when they say one of their new toys is "way more available", they mean "not anytime soon and don't expect us to keep up with the demands provided we don't just discontinue it in a couple years". This looks great, price tag not withstanding, wish they'd bring back some of the other platforms they've discontinued and stop making everything a "limited release"
@Apex Hunter I agree with you, but they're going to go where the money is--365s and 320s in every imaginable configuration. Another 12 to 15 years from now most people might forget they ever made DA/SA guns :(
Just bought the p320 as my first pistol outside from Glock brand & I can't believe how much I was missing out. Fantastic firearm right out of the box. Can't wait to get another Sig
Same here, Glock for 2 decades and Shadow Systems for the past 3 years. I got a X Compact for a full size compensated X 5 version. I love it. I have an old school love for the 226, still carry it in the winter.
@@The_Referee With the amount of money I spent on Glocks making them faster and more comfortable to shoot....🤦♂️ I ended up finding Shadow Systems with their MR920 Elite and DR920 Elite dialed in out of the box for under 1K.

@@meee175 I bought a 226 legion a few weeks ago. I think it was around $1,300. It’s also a sao so that might be a good option. I think I have a review of it on my channel.
Currently saving up for a P210 Carry, but Classic version of this will probably be my next-in-line purchase! At least, once I've saved up for about six months.
I’m not sure if I should be joyful or angry. Sig, it took you long enough to produce a handgun I truly desire rather than another ordinary one I purchased just to add to my collection. This model looks better than my legions. The Beretta 92X Performance has the looks but doesn’t feel good in my hands. The P226 feels excellent in my hands. Black Piranha grips on a X5 SS frame? Hell yeah! ❤. Umm, looks like I’m joyful. 👍🏼👍🏼
Or they could just bring back the Stainless Elite models with no optic cut for those of us millennial boomers who prefer traditional aesthetics and refuse to embrace pistol red dots.
Glad I picked up a mint/used P226S several months ago. It was the earlier version of the German X5. It is by far my most accurate 9mm pistol AND it was only $1600. This new one might be a tad more C notes.
Yes I'm glad we're getting a P226 XFive. The P226 is Sig's greatest pistol in my opinion (yes over the P220 to me). I'm glad we're getting an XFive variant now and it will be widely available compared o the German SAO. Hopefully these will be just as great if not even better. Also please release a 3.9" P320 XCompact that isn't a Spectre version please. Yes you can build it or convert a standard P320 Compact or a discontinued XCarry to a 3.9" P320 XCompact, but it would be nice to get it ready to go straight from Sig. 3.9" > 3.6"
I am very pleased to see SIG bring these to market. I just wish that there was a short or internal extractor, and a OR version with an elevated fixed/dovetail rear sight. Short models please too. Thank you guys, job well done. Now, as an LEO can you bring in an IOP program with imported SG 551-SP/SWAT 553-SP/Pistols to SBR with welded rail and diopter sights?
I love sig !! Lol I owned 320 and 365 awesome pistols my grail gun was the 226 legion now u guys step it up !! Lol look forward to hopefully seeing it at the gun store and when can sig start saying the msrp please thanks !!
The new Sig Experience Center is only 10 min from me. Gonna head over there and go shoot this new masterpiece. Funny, was just at Deerfield fair this past weekend and won a free hour range time. Who would've thought?
I bought one when they came out. There was several modular parts so you could upgrade a base gun all the way to the full open gun. The only way to get the open gun was to buy it. Right after the guns came out they disappeared. Sig USA told me they could not get the parts. Sadly I sold it since I could never make it what I wanted it to be. Now it looks to be identical just modernized some. I like everything I see about the new one. Curious if a full open gun will ever be available like before.
So. Buying a P226 XFive legion has made me a bonafide fanboy, even after I love my P365 AXG Legion. Anyway I went and bought a P226 XFive with the intent of switching to it as a competition platform, but a quick question. How a it possible to set it up to run it in Carry Optics or should I get a larger magwell and run it in Limited optics?
The Sig Sauer 226 has always been a fantasy dream pistol for me, and it is awesome to see an updated version. unfortunately I am a "poor" so I cannot even remotely afford one, Unless Sig Sauer has a way I could "earn" one, but truthfully we all know that there is no chance on Gods Green Earth that is going to happen. great review awesome content
I would try to find a police trade in. You can get a great P226 or P229 for around $450 to $650. Still not cheap, but a great way to get the best autoloading handgun ever made.
Every time I get on RUclips there is a video for a new Sig pistol. Sig has become the Apple of the firearms industry -- innovative, user-friendly, overpriced.
I should be part owner of Sig ! Hell I got enough of your guns ! Y'all make me sick ! Everytime I think I have all the guns I could ever want (especially Sig) y'all have to come out with something else ! My safe is FULL DAMMIT ! I already have 2 P226's just bought the ZEV 226 and I have the P226 Legion now I'm gonna have nightmares about this gun until I get it, no, no, I'm waiting on the Spear Rapter in .308 but damn that's a sexy ass P226. I must quote my favorite Godfather quote "Everytime I think I'm out they pull me back in"
Nice try Phil. When are you dropping the “open” with a comp, optic, and happy stick mags? Also will the old school weights come into play? Do the old parts fit?!? I need more info.
I bet it's half of what my Atlas Athena costs, but the Athena is on a different level. Love my SIGS though, always be one of my Favorites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't own any sigs because I don't trust them based on their recent history But not gonna lie I like the looks of this I will keep an eye on this specific models an see how they do an see if I trust them enough to pick one up sooner or later 🤷🏻♂️
