The Legion series is basically an enhanced / upgraded version of Sig's existing P226 and P229 platforms. The P226 and P229 are coated in gray PVD (physical vapor deposition) which is the same as Sig's black Nitron coat.

In this video we detail the features of the P226 and P229 Legion and compare the P226 Legion to two of Sig's most similar pistols, the P226 Stainless Elite and P226 Enhanced Elite.

The Legion has enhancements to the frame including more aggressive front strap checkering along with checkering on the front and underside of the magazine well. The frame also has an X-5 undercut making the reach to the trigger slightly reduced.

The Legion uses a Bruce Gray Grayguns Intermediate Adjustable Trigger which allows for changing the over travel.

The grips are two piece G-10 and have the Legion logo along with a texture that allows for a solid grip but hopefully won't overly aggressive.

The Legion pistols are shipping with Sig's new X-Ray3 sights which allow for better day time visibility than Sig's standard SIGLite night sights. They also have tritium inserts like Sig's other night sights.

Other modifications include modified slide stop / release and decocker levers. The ones on these pistols have a reduced profile compared to the standard Sig P226 / P229 models.

Finally, the Legion pistols include after purchase incentives. You will want to register the pistol with Sig Sauer because they will send you a free custom molded case and challenge coin. You'll also receive inside information about new Legion series releases and you'll qualify to buy other Legion logo gear only offered to Legion members. These include holsters, lights / lasers, knives, and lifestyle apparel.
