First off, welcome to Sig Talk, from the southwest corner of Indiana. I suggest you visit Sigs website, and the custom shop's services. https://www.sigsauer.com/custom-shop/

Check out their refinish service for the slide, which is very reasonable. As far as the article goes, and "updating" an older model to "Legion" specification, it will never end up being a "Legion", so don't go throwing a lot of money into it. It, without a rail, will make a fine carry weapon, for EDC, even if somewhat large.

Check out their services at Sig, maybe let them go over yours, checking/replacing needed parts, new springs, and maybe refinish the slide, and install some Siglite sights.

As far as replacing the barrel, with a threaded version, your original, unless abused should have a life of at least 50,000 rounds, as some here say. Unless you want to add a suppressor, a threaded barrel isn't needed. Flash hiders belong on rifles, and compensators / brakes are for range guns, not for carry, and of questionable worth, just "cool looks" in most cases.

1 - Yeah they're even having a discounted promotion on it right now, which is tempting O:
2 - Yeah I know, it's not "really" a Legion, but some of these modifications have some utility. In all honesty this is more of a range gun than anything else, I'm just having fun modifying it. I like customizing stuff when I have the cash lol.
3 - I was actually looking at XS System Big Dot sights to preserve the original "bar-dot" sights that came on the older models. I prefer them because it makes the sight picture easier to line up. Just a personal thing.
4 - I agree, it is just for looks. I don't intend to use this for carry, I'm not a big dude so this would be fairly noticeable on my hip. I'm going with an M&P Shield 9mm for that one.

I appreciate your feedback!

Just for range fun, then the sky is the limit... so to speak. On my P226, that I bought new around 20 years ago, I have made some improvements to it, over the years. I did all of this myself, first off, I went through Sig Armorers course in the late '90s, while wearing a badge. Not that it is necessary, because today with "YouTube" videos, and a little mechanical aptitude, a person can do a lot for themselves.

Due to having smaller hands, I installed the Short Reach Trigger, in it's early days, added tritium sights (currently on 3rd set), installed the Short Reset Trigger kit, and upgraded to the later nylon/plastic mainspring seat and strut, with a 19# Wolff mainspring, and G-10 Sig branded grips, that CDNN had a special on a year ago for about $50, because they didn't have grip screws with them.

Here it is, in it's current "Glory"!

 

Wow! You really went to work on it. You've sold me on G10 grips too, sounds like you got a good deal.
