There are quite a few changes to the new X Legion:

• full length dust cover/rail
• ability to change action between SAO and DA/SA on same frame
• new generation of adjustable triggers for each action
• X frame trigger guard undercut and grip bevel cuts

Is the undercut deeper than on the Elite and Legion models?

Thanks for input!

Interesting….

• “ability to change action between SAO and DA/SA on same frame”

I wonder if the 226 X-Carry means they'll discontinue the P229 Legion (which I've been using as my primary pistol)

Excellent question. Enquiring minds want to know!

Looks to be the same as the X5 with an additional bevel over the once-rounded elite frame

Anyone know if the Carry version will still work with OEM regular P226 magazines?

Yes, that’s one of the main benefits.

I love this new P226 but, but ,but I think we need to sit and watch how this thing shakes out ??? Sig has not been up to snuff and running here lately and we dont want to be beta testers, do we? My 26,000rd now P226 Tac ops needs retiring but I'm gonna wait. I'd be happy with an older one like mine who belonged to a gun nerd who never shot it much.

How does a P226 retire? Does it get framed and hung on a wall?

I hung around longer than I should have to ease the emotions and uncertainty that a lot of people around me expressed before I retired.
Maybe the P226 feels the same way.
It’s all good!

My guess would be no I think there is still a market for the shorter grip (15rd). However, I could be wrong - I have been before. At least I hope the 229 stays

That was my initial thought, as well. I CC compact 4" hammer guns. They conceal perfectly for me all year round in the appendix position. Did a quick gun hero size comparison with one of my EDCs. Will definitely want to get this in my hands for a closer look.

Picked up the P226X Legion RXSL this weekend. It’s a very flat shooter.

seems that finding a holster is going to be a trick. Maybe have to go with an X5 holster to accommodate the longer rail/dust cover. Any recommendations?

 

[MNsigfan]

The current X5 holsters should work for now until we see some for that specific length. Hogue’s will work, too. That’s what I use for my LDC.

Duplicate post sorry

I prefer the black models. All of my legions are black from the LE/Mil program. To me they just look so much better than the greenish/gray. I wonder if Sig will offer these two to Mil/LE customers. I sure hope they do. I don’t see why they wouldn’t. I also see the P229 going away because the P226 XCarry is about the same size and caliber. Speaking of caliber wouldn’t it be nice if these two new pistols were available in .357 Sig? That would be so awesome. I would definitely buy a P226 XCarry, Legion, Black in .357 Sig. This is my new holy grail gun. Hey one can dream can’t he?

Man that is awesome. Not only is the gun beautiful but the red dot looks beautiful too. I love the way they sit so low on the slide. Did that RDS. Come with the gun or did you buy it separately? I didn’t know they released these yet. You’re so lucky. Send us a range report after your next outing

This is the RXSL model that comes with the dot. Range report is that it’s got a fantastic trigger and is very flat shooting.

I am buying the x carry not legion and today SIG told me they are in stores yet. I want the 3.8 inch carry model
Its 32 oz. With straight SAO trigger

A new P220 X Carry in .45ACP would probably upset the balance of the universe, as sales would be on a quantum scale. Of course, SIG wouldn't be able to keep up with demand or QC would drop off..

I believe you are correct… did not act fast enough on the P220 Legion carry… they sold out before I could get one ordered… perhaps a P220 X Five carry is in the works!
