@nickleon4696 I think if you use your support hand like most do on 1911s it will not be a big issue. It's not my favorite slide release, but I would not say it is the worst I have used. I do wish the would have extended it slightly wider and further forward I could say.
Is that canik slide stainless or coated? Wow looks nice. Came here to see your review of the 226. Just picked one up last weekend. Can’t wait to mount a 507 comp on it
Question for you! Did the Holosun 507 Comp direct mount to the slide, or did you need an adapter plate? If you needed a plate, can you share where you got it? Thanks so much!
I picked up my new P226 XFive Legion yesterday and I was going to adjust the trigger poundage a few minutes ago, but it appears the builder of my pistol forgot to install the set screw. I can't see one, and when I push in slightly with the 2mm Allen key it feels a little springy, and I'm assuming if there was a setscrew it wouldn't move at all. This is a really big letdown and is highly unacceptable.
@@Heteachethmyhandstowar Thanks for the response. I'll look tomorrow, I'm too miffed to look at it again today. The trigger is very nice as is, but I'm guessing it's not good to fire it without that setscrew.
@silverbackgorilla2112 I think the screw is doing nothing at lowest weight so should be safe to fire. But not 100 percent sure myself without looking myself.
@@Heteachethmyhandstowar Thanks, that makes sense. Without the setscrew the trigger should be at the max lowest poundage.The little takedown rod pushes in and out just fine, so no issue there. The trigger feels amazing and I would prefer not to send it in as long as it's not causing trigger damage without the setscrew.
@@Heteachethmyhandstowar Hey brother, my range trip was terrific and the pistol functioned flawlessly. I shot the best group I've ever shot with any handgun, and I've had some $4,000 ones. Freestanding @ 7 yards I put 49 out of 50 shots in a 2"x 2" square bullseye and the miss was only .75" away. I tweaked the pre travel and reset slightly and it's the best trigger I've ever experienced. Stay Safe!!
I thought about this already. I would say if you don't mind the extra weight of this gun, it would be fantastic for duty. It is essentially the same gun the seals carried for years made better. Many police forces carried the p226 as well. The comps should not cause any reliability issues since it is not a true compensator, but still helps with muzzle rise.
@Heteachethmyhandstowar it's become my favorite gun to shoot. But I read some people say they had terrible accuracy so I took it out to 50y which I have no issues with irons and should be very simple with a dot and I'm all over the place. I own several pistols and shoot some better than others but nothing this bad. I have been running some aac 9mm to try it out so I'm going to try to rule out ammo, optic, and myself before I necessarily blame the gun
Mine was 2.5 out the box. Turned in the front screw and it went to 1.5lbs lol so backed it out, didn't change. Turned it in until it stopped and still at 1.5lbs lol
Wondering if you have the x5? Do they feel the same? I was looking either get the x5 or the x5 legion. But I am not really ready for shooting in open class.
I have shot both. The X5 is a little heavier. This one has a little less muzzle flip. I would say the regular x5 would be better for uspsa. This is not the best open gun, but it's great for idpa co division .
I handled one a few weeks ago at the local range. When I can, I'm getting one!
One of my favorite pistols to shoot. I placed the Romeo X on mine, it works well.
Romeo X looks nice. Have not used one yet.
I have the Romeo X Pro on mine too, and it’s beautiful!
@@Jstn8156 nice
Dame the 507comp looks so nice with these p226! The fitment is 🔥
Thanks for the update. I'll have mine by the end of the month.
Thanks for the support.
What holster do you run?
I'm torn between this and a Legion, lol. Quite a price jump.
@@rustygehl I think my holster was from wholeguns.
some people complain about the slide release. how do you feel about it? thanks.

@@Bill109. The Canik is Chrome
Thanks for the details.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Adapter plate at C&H Precision
Was the hammer on this gun wobbling? Thank you.
@@efendyng3993 Have not noticed any problem with that.
Great video. I just picked up the same gun and optic. Which ammo are you running through it and recommendations?
I suggest 9mm.
thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Have you found a good holster for the. P226 Legion X5 yet?
@americanlivesmatter7118 Yes, I got one from wholeguns for around 50. It is a competition holster.
I love the gun but what was Sig thinking with that pin right under the RDS? Looks like crap.
It is strange. Also, not coming with a back site to co witness.
Which is flatter and faster? This or your ported mpa ds9?
Hmm, I might would say the MPA by a slight margin. It's more different than flatter or faster but maybe slightly flatter and faster..
I have a question what if you wanted use it for duty purposes what’s your thoughts

@@Heteachethmyhandstowar I wish you can do a battle between the P226 x5 legion and the p266 zev
@darkdre7 My friend wanted the Zev wish he would buy it so I could. The legion fit more what I wanted.
That's a stock trigger?
Completely stock full adjustable trigger.
@@HeteachethmyhandstowarImpressive
@@Aviation_Professional Yes sir
That stock trigger is nutty
Did you adjust your trigger?
@@OReely444 yes
Mine has a little play in the take up, which I don't mind, but it was interesting seeing your adjustment. Thanks.
@OReely444 Mine may move half a millimeter for take up.
Excellent video!
Thanks
Just ordered one with the romeo x pro factory installed with the rear sight
@@RockinRack You should really enjoy it.

@@RockinRack This is one gun I have not taken out that far yet to see.
Not the best idea to carry a 2 pound trigger . Great for practical shooting not every day application lol
@@Patriotsclub A few turns of a screw and it can be heavier.
I have a x5 love that feature
Mine was 2.5 out the box. Turned in the front screw and it went to 1.5lbs lol so backed it out, didn't change. Turned it in until it stopped and still at 1.5lbs lol
