Initial testing showed a failure to feed, possibly due to limp-wristing or break-in, but reliability improved with extended use. The speaker concludes the DPM system is a quality option for Beretta 96 .40 S&W owners, though the 9mm Beretta 92 remains a smoother shooter.

The SIG Sauer P226 Legion is presented as a premium 9mm handgun with notable upgrades like G10 grips, tritium night sights, and a custom Grayguns trigger.

The MSRP of $1099 is considered good value for the included enhancements.
