Which sig p229 to get?

[Jem45472]

Over the last few years I've been selling off some stuff, and acquiring only the things I really want. A sig p229 has been on that list, and more than likely it's going to be a legion unless any of you can talk me out of it for some reason.

I don't target shoot, just like to plink here and there. (Actually I rarely shoot at all) Probably will carry it here and there. I'm not a huge fan of a da/sa trigger, although it is nice for carry reasons I suppose. So I've been leaning towards the single action only legion.

Thoughts?

Just do it.

Its only a divorce.

I've got a 226 sao legion. The trigger is really nice.

I hear the trigger is incredible for a production gun. I'm leaning towards the sao just cause it's different than the normal sig.

This is going to be a collector piece for me more than anything. The legion series worth the price of admission as far as you're concerned?

For me it was. The xray sights, trigger undercut and frame stippling make it a great gun to shoot. I would love to get a 229 companion for it but I've got other guns I need to buy first.

Love my 226 legion , been debating acquiring a 229 .

YES buy the Legion you won’t regret it !

I would go with a 228 made in Germany West Germany. I have 5 228’s. I had the 229, 226and the 220. There is nothing like the 228 for fit and func.

I thought about a German gun a bit, but think I'm going for a sao. Only other one that might change my mind is a stainless elite series, they seem to be harder to come by.

 

[Karpteach]

The stainless are definitely hard to come by. I have a German half stainless. It’s my favorite carry SIG.

 

[Jem45472]

Well I think I've narrowed it down to these two. The sao legion, or the ase talo edition. Both about the same price on used market.
Choices, choices.

 

[togmaster]

Both nice guns and my opinion is biased but the SAO legion with a flat trigger will be nicer to shoot. I was never a fan of 2 different trigger pulls on a gun.

I'm not really a fan of the two triggers either, but can live with it. Just looking at the ase, or stainless versions because they are beautiful, and getting hard to come by.

Is yours pvd, or cerakoted? And how's that holding up. That's my biggest concern with a subpar coating on a $1200 gun.

It's PVD coated. It used to be a weekly shooter for over a year and has holster wear. Coating is definitely the weak link.

I like the Talo but I am a DA/SA kinda guy to begin with.

M11-A1 Compact

An authentic, upgraded variant of P229 with the features required by professionals.

My cousin is my FFL. I bought the above. A FFL bought a 229 Legion but dumped the 10 rounders and my cousin threw all 3 my way for a nice discount. The M11-A1 is a nice shooter, Sig still does a nice job.

Years ago I had the old 229 edition that took the old 13 rounders of the era. Sig was smart to upgrade the grip length to take 15 rounders. Although that don't mean squat in NYkistan.

Hmm, I'm guessing you're a revolver guy.

[Jem45472]

Dammit, I have an Uzi bug up my ass also. I may just build an Uzi pistol instead to keep me busy.

[togmaster]

Nice!

Just so everyone knows, I added this on permit by mail. Apparently they still working at the ppo. It took a week and a half to add gun by mail.

So picking it up soon?

 

[Jem45472]

Yeah, haven't really slept from yesterday yet, but I'll probably go in a few hours. I'm impatient, it took me a month and a half to buy this gun.

Good to know it’s still a quick turn around. I guess I’ll have to get my ass in gear and order my new pistol. Still no shops really open around me.
