- "While not the newest offering from SIG, this is brand new to me and I had to have it when I saw it in a local shop" - Hammer (camera man). The Legion series now has a cerakote finish instead of the original PVD finish that SIG used. It come with 3 magazines that hold 15 rounds each. And the SIG red dot comes with it too.

I just got the P226 Legion. I love it. It’s just beautiful. The full rails the slide sits on is awesome.
I've got one, too. Also the P229 Legion in .40/.357 Legion models have incredible triggers. Neither are safe queens
Excellent Grouping and Choice. Thanks for making this
Well done Sir !
Nice video, thanks. I love Sigs from Legion series. I have P226 Legion and P229 Legion, which are amazing.
As soon as I get my hands on this one, it will be my new favorite DCC, I have no doubts. Thanks for the review, nice job!
Great review. I just bought the Sig P226 ZEV SAO and it is AMAZING and after your review, I just ordered the P229 Legion RXP to be my carry gun.
It's a classy pistol extremely well engineered. SIG Sauer makes fantastic classic pistols.
Thank you for sharing this video 🙏👌
I love the Sig P229. I know many people complain about the high bore axis and the snappiness, but I can still shoot it well 🤷♂️ the trigger on the Legion model as well as the grip texture are excellent too.
I think people spend way to much time talking about high bore axis. If the gun is accurate and reliable it's fine. The P229 and my AXG Scorpion are very accurate pistols
Very nice, been wanting one of these for awhile. I have a p220 legion. Sig makes some great firearms.
Very nice and detailed review bro! Keep doing it! Thanks for your time doing that!
Thank you for your detailed video. It answered all of my questions before I asked them.
My 2 favorite pistols are my p229 in the m11-a1 configuration and the hk 45 compact. So smooth and ergonomic. Da/da are my favorite confirmation. Your channel is awesome thank you.
Isn't the m11a1 a sig 228 or atleast when it was first adopted by the military it was a 228 but then again since the 228 is discontinued and replaced by the 229 cus they're the exact same pistol just when first introduced 228 was in 9 and 229 was 40 and 357 sig and instead of the stamped slide like the 228 the 229 is milled slide I guess they're all a 229 now and makes what I said irrelevant
Welcome fellow Legionnaire….
Molon Labe!
I have 7 Legions & the 229 is my favorite. Only one I lack is the P320 Xcarry. Welcome to the club!
Those belts are great,I have worn mine for years ,durable and rugged.
Great review, I just pick up a used P229 Legion RXP for a great deal and this is a beautiful pistol and shoots great.
Congrats, I purchased the Legion P226 DA last year and a week later I saw the Legion P229 SAO in LGS and had to have it too lol.
I have never liked a DA/SA combo gun. I skipped that version and went directly to the SAO 9mm. I’m also in the initial process of making some changes to it before I send the 1st rnd. downrange with it. Installing Ambidextrous “gas” pedals. Doesn’t make sense to install only one. If it hangs on the holster I’ll cut the holster to confirm or I’ll just make one that works with 2 pedals. This is going to be my “lifetime” gun. Much more but too much for here. Email me if you’d like to know more. BUY ONE WHILE YOU STILL CAN!! Their screwing us on the mag size and they are starting to dry up alreardy!!! New model coming out soon!!!
I love my AXG Scorpion and am considering picking up a Sao P229 Legion
Great pistol !! Love mine!
I have a Legion P229 DA/SA in 40S&W in fact when I got mine in 2018 you could get all three calibers 9mm, 40S&W, and 357Sig in the Legion P226 and P229.
Welcome to the club!
I have the regular version
It's a precision made tool.
Top of the range model that lives up to its name if you do your part!
That is a nice gun the Sig Sauer P226 Legion RXP is the coolest p229 i wish i had
Great video. You should make explanation videos for a living. My attention was engaged nicely, and the explanation of the gun's features were explained well.
I have a p229 nitron and p226 mk25, and I had to put SRT kit in both of them. Such a good upgrade!
I own the 220 and 320 the same. All great guys. Pricey but worth it
Good video. I hope to add a P229 Legion RXP in the near future. A grail gun for me.
I saved forever for one. I regret nothing
I just bought this very model. Super happy with it. That said, I sent off today to the SIG Armorer for the Carry Trigger and Super Strut upgrades.
Your review was, in my opinion is one of the best for this firearm on the site. Complete, comprehensive and informative. It’s one of three that helped in my decision process. Thank you!
I am considering doing the same thing when I purchase it. Please post here when you get it back to compare how it feels. Thanks.
@@richardj3715 I recently took the pistol to a three day training class in Arizona. I was using blemished Sig Sauer 365 practice ammo. On the second day, I started to experience soft hammer strikes on the primers. As part of the trigger job with the Sig Armor, in order to reduce the amount of tension required to pull the trigger back in DA action, the factory 24 pound hammer spring was replaced with an 18 pound hammer spring. I took the gun in to the on-site armorer at the training center he replaced the 18 pound with a factory 24 pound hammer spring. This seems to have alleviated the problem and I believe that due to the other work that the Sig armorer did in the trigger job, there was no noticeable difference in the way that that trigger pull functioned after that 24 pound spring was re-introduced to the hammer strut. The fact that I was using blemished ammunition may have contributed to the problem. Even though this hiccup occurred, I still stand behind the work that the Sig Armor performed on all three of my pistols, all Sig Sauer legions, one P229, one P220 in 45 and another P220 in 10 mm.
Thanks for the feedback.
the P229 SAO is on my bucket list.
Wow that’s beautiful
I have a 229 sao and it’s fantastic to shoot, was able to get it for $1000 new.
Flat trigger upgrade, hammer spring and the DPM guide rod, and the gun is even better
I've had my P229 Legion for about a month now. I have around 1000 rounds through it now without a single failure of any kind.
I’ve had my P229 Legion RPX for a couple of years and it’s my favorite pistol. Very comfortable and easy to shot tight groups. Intuitive layout with a very smooth trigger pull. The grips fit my hand very well and provide a natural target acquisition. As a 1911 National Match fan and that being my regular tack driver at the range this pistol is every bit as satisfying to challenge myself to make those Ballantine beer groupings. I did get the recommended ISW holster and find it awkward and uncomfortable. Recently I swapped out the trigger for the straight version and that took the pistol to another level. It made the trigger pull even more consistent. I highly recommend the Sig Sauer P229 Legion and if I had to own just one pistol this would be it!
What kind of holster did you find for it? I’m looking for owb with level 2 retention but can’t find anything. Thanks
@@dillonlittle1992 I was only looking for IWB. The pistol is too big to comfortably conceal IWB. I bought a P365 SAS and use that with a Philster Enigma Express IWB. That P365 SAS is slick and I was instantly familiar with the bullseye sighting. At some point I’ll look for a OWB for my P229. Let me know if you find one you like.
@@Automotive-Velocity yeah I carry a 365 as well but I wanted to try this guy since it’s winter now and also a “duty” type holster as well for range drills and what not.
I have an OWB concealed carry holster from Upper Hand for my P320 RXP X Compact that fits the P229 perfectly
My carry gun now is the P365 XL and I just ordered the P229 Legion RXP a few days ago. I can’t wait for it to come in and pick it up and shoot it. Oh yeah.
Excellent gun, and it’s my carry gun. I have the P226 Legion SAO with Romeo, this P229, a regular P229 Legion DA/SA, a P226 DA/SA and they are all tack drivers, particularly with a Sig Armorer trigger job. Today at the range I put 50 rounds into a 2” circle at 25 yards with the P229 Legion RX. It’s not snappy as some have said. The 365 is snappy. And for those who talk “high bore axis” I’d suggest you watch The Humble Marksman’s research into bore axis. I have both an inside and outside the waistband holster for my 229s. The Legions are excellent guns, though I have to admit that the slide to frame fit is disappointing if compared to either my Nighthawk or even Springfield TRP. The Sig Armorer’s suggestion was to buy a West German Sig or use grease in your slide. Best Regards gentleman.
Do you have a holster you can recommend? I have one 2 from sig. The leather one doesn’t seem to accommodate optic or light. And the kydex hybrid IWB doesn’t accommodate the foxtrot light. i’m looking for some thing that can accommodate the romeo1 pro, with the shroud, as well as the foxtrot light on its Picatinny rail
That bore axis complaint is garbage. I shoot better with my 226 legion than my shadow systems MR920 and my beretta 92x. The way the weight of the gun works with the smooth action and trigger of these guns is well worth the price. Im getting the 229 legion as soon as I am able to distract the wife.
@@liggerstuxin1 Look at the safariland holsters for OTW and for inside, look at the Alien holsters. Outstanding options
So nice.
Fantastic informative review. Would love to see the difference between this and rue Elite version.
Great video! Makes me want to go buy one right now! My Buddy has several Legions and OMG, most accurate pistol I’ve shit in 30 years!
Just picked up my 365 XL and although it feels too small for me I put 50 rounds into softball size circular target and only had 3 rounds either on the edge or a couple inches out! Blows away my Glock 27 40 S&W and even my Colt .45 Gold Cup National Match!
Let’s get in the Giveaway 🤩
Ordering the 10mm tomorrow
Nice 👍
The P229 Legion does come in an optic ready version. However, this version is only available to current or former law enforcement, military and first responders.
Weird that I see them for sale everywhere
That's a badass pistol. My 229 is 40S&W and have the 357sig barrel. But its an OG no rail no optic, but i did put the SRT action and SRT trigger. Doesn't make sense theyd have a sear and trigger called SRT but i guess they know what they're doing. I don't care for optics on a carry gun or lights hanging from them so the old German tank with new tritium sights and both SRT kits😅 has to be my Legion.
Very good review video as always. One of the main reasons I have subscribed all these years. I still can't get my head around a Red Dot on a defensive handgun. I know this comment may create some negative comments. For me, a handgun is a defensive weapon for 7-10 yards and I cannot see why a Red Dot is an advantage at these close ranges. At least better than iron sights. But that's just my opinion. It would seem that Red Dots are better suited for AR platforms and at longer range shooting. Maybe I am wrong, but just something I am grappling with. Thank you for always providing great review videos...
The Humble Marksman just reviewed a new Sig Sauer model that doesn’t come with iron sights. It’s shipped with a red dot only, and he speculates that it’s the way guns will be sold in the coming years. My first red dot was this summer when I bought a new P226 SAO Legion with Romeo. I also bought a Nighthawk Shadowhawk with Trijicon RMR last summer. I don’t even look at the sights on either of those guns, and at the range my round hits exactly where I aim the red dot. I don’t see why a red dot would be a liability. And at least with the Romeo sights, the dot comes on when the gun detects movement. So while I have little experience with red dots, I like them, and have one on my 229 carry gun. I’m very accurate at 7-10 yards. Anyway, best Regards
I will be purchasing this soon. A Sig Sauer P229 Legion, Single Action Only, Semi-automatic, 9MM, 3.9" Barrel, Legion Gray, Black G10 Grips, XRAY3 Day/Night Sights, Optic Ready, Manual Thumb Safety, 10 Rounds 😁😊👍(B/c I'm in MD 😡) To nice NOT to have 1. I have a P320 3.6 barrel with the Romeo 1 Pro on top. I've only had it 4 months, I've ran just 50 rounds through it. However, the arrows on the adjustment for the red dot, has already semi worn off 🤬😡🤷♂ So when I do purchase a Legion, I'll go w/o the Romeo 1 pro. Still love my P320's feel, and shooting. I hope the Legion feels nice as my P320, because I personally still feel hard pressed over my Glocks feel, comfort & shoot-ability. Excellent video btw. Thanks 👍
Nice gun. I have a 226 legion in .357 sig, and just picked up a 220 legion in .45. also, my EDC is a 229 elite in 9mm. Don't let the dimensions fool you. This gun is a lot easier to conceal than you'd think.
I have the SAO version with the Romeo 1 Pro and I love it. One bonus is that my P320 X Compact holsters work perfectly with it.
Have you had any issues with the thumb safety being too easy to get lowered by itself while carrying?
@@rudrashakti108 no issues at all with the 229
@@pete3486 thanks!
Is this model new? This thing is beautiful 🤩
Not crazy about the slide under-hang on the receiver. I'd think this cosmetic issue should be resolved for a weapon that commands the higher price than the standard Sig.
For the price sig should have included the shroud to protect the romeo pro 1.
My first pistol was a 229, traded it... big mistake.
Great video! Odd that you no longer get the fitted soft case for your legion and now get a 5.11 range bag.
That changed many months ago.
@@lbcadden3 not a fan lol. Great gun but the 5.11 range bag to me seems cheap
I much prefer the soft range bag, except that my Springfield TRP and Nighthawk soft bags are made of heavier fabric, and the zippers seem sturdier.
Can anyone recommend a IWB holster for both a light and a shroud covered optic? I have 2 from sig. The leather one doesn’t seem to accommodate optic or light. And the kydex hybrid IWB doesn’t accommodate the foxtrot light. Again, I’m looking for some thing that can accommodate the romeo1 pro, with the shroud, as well as the foxtrot light on its Picatinny rail.
You notice any gap from the dot and slide?
Where and who sells the barrel light you used?
I heard John Wick couldn't afford this gun.
That bulletproof suit of his is worth a hundred of these atleast lol. He even uses vickers weapons which I think are 1k+ a piece
1500.00 gets you 15 shots.
Lol
@@keness4768they go for $800 second hand. With the 18rnd or 20rnd extended barrel it's a beast!
Does Sig include the cover plate for the slide in case you do not want to use a red dot?
For me the controls are hard to acquire (mag release / slide stop
In your opinion the Sig P229 do you think it's a good concealed carry peace.?
Does it include a plate cover for the cut if you wanted to remove the red dot?
They sell one.
love the sig p226 and p229, and the p320 would be perfect if they didn't totally shit the bed on the ugly grips
Just got my P220 Legion 10mm SAO, last month (03/24) I love it, I even sold my X-Ten. Now I want the P229 for carry, I just have to convince my Beretta 92X RDO Compact! Congrats on your new pistol (a little late) 😅
Does it come with suppressor height sights ?
My only complaint about the legion series was My 226sao and my 220sao were Grey and my P938 was GREEN….
It’s ridiculous that these guns being so damn expensive that they could get the colors right…..
I’ve seen frames and slides that were way off as well…..
The Legion premium is not outrageous. The SRT is a must on any P-series, $50. Unless you’re in love with the E2 form factor, Sig basic,grips are nothing special and Houge’s are $100+. A Gray trigger is $75 (may or may not be worth it). Then there’s cerekote (if you like it) and better sights (though the regular SigLights are really good). The base models also don’t have the trigger undercut which, I think is meaningful. Legion negatives? If you want something more personalized, start with a more basic model. Also the Legion marketing is cheezy at best.
No optics for the 357/40 version
My 229 legion is chambered in 357 sig
Really nice. Big sig fan after getting the p365. At some point I will get the 229 and the 226. Glock is dependable, just not my favorite. I'm more of a sig, walther, cz fan.
So with the 229/229 platform being a significantly older platform, would y’all say that it still holds its own against the newer platforms sig offers?
i am going to get a P229 RXP. i have a P320 now. i just dont like the feel of striker fired polymer guns. i use to carry a P226 but i now only carry it in the cooler months (easier to conceal), i live in the Northern US. SA/DA metal is just the best way to go if you ask me.
@@jonthompson8807 yeah I am leaning the same way. Appreciate your take on it
My 229 Legion RX arrives Tuesday. When you register, do they still give you the rigid case with the foam cutouts?
How do u like it? I just paid for mine.. I'll pick it up in a couple weeks
@@kevo875k
I absolutely LOVE it!! I thought my other SIGS and HKs were smooth! Nothing compared to the trigger on this baby!
@@jackwebb5917 is the RX version worth it?
@@kevo875k
Absolutely! The Romeo was just a little bit off, but once it was zeroed it was awesome. I would definitely get it as an RX, worth every penny
@@jackwebb5917 cool.. I'm gonna look into that.. does the legion case come with a extra set of mags or u still just get the 3?
I purchased the gun online and noticed my grips are missing the emblem.
Sound like you got the military /police version.
Meaning it's obviously missing or fell out, or that the g10 grips cover that whole area like they were never there?
Why this gun kicks so much?
Too bad it is an anemic 9 mm rather than a real serious 357 Sig. But it is a shame Sig quit making that caliber.
I Love SIGS but I don't know why They keep putting those long beaver tails on their pistols. The shorter beaver tails work perfectly like the E2 P226 has and Don't stick way out like that one. Still great guns.
A cerakoted BRICK.
Another nice gat.enjoy!PS.you are holding the pistols the wrong way when shooting..SIDEWAYS!the gun fighting gangs can't all be doing it wrong..correct???take care.
did you get it in .40 s&w? i would get it in .40 s&w not the boring predictable overhyped underperforming 9mm garbage cartridge caliber that the sheeple favor because the herd does
What a nonsensical comment.
What are you talking about man? You are seriously saying that 9mm is for “sheeple”? The fking Navy Seals use 9mm. I’ve never heard of someone having beef with a CALIBER hahaha. You mad, bro?
@@hankowitz you have never heard of caliber debates/fights? wow! either you're lying or live under a rock! and your precious navy squeels, aka order following rights violating evil serving/protecting SPINELESS MORAL COWARD TRAITOR force arms, and mercenaries, do not choose their caliber, gear or missions, they do as they are told and take what they are given, and they aren't the end all be all gods of knowing everything, even if it is their arena, and they use it as a sidearm back-up secondary weapon, also like i said, they do not choose their cartridge caliber, gov does, and their criteria is different than yours as a civilian for self-defense/preservation/protection, and some of those criteria points are overall weight, weight of gear, weight to capacity, wounding over lethality and especially cost! so grow up and stop worshipping traitor force arm order followers and get some morals!
This man has obviously never seen what a bullet does to flesh.. move on, little meat
Internet troll nonsense
Tells me nothing!
