Ben Stoeger reviews the Sig Sauer P226 Legion and P320 X5 Legion, discussing their ergonomics, handling, and optic mounting experiences. He notes the P226's classic all-metal construction and DA/SA operation, contrasting it with the P320's polymer frame and striker-fired mechanism. Stoeger also touches on potential modifications for the P320, including trigger and barrel upgrades, and highlights Sig's proprietary optic screw thread pitch.

Quick Summary

The Sig Sauer P226 Legion features an all-metal construction and a DA/SA trigger with a mechanical decocker, offering a classic shooting experience. In contrast, the P320 X5 Legion is a polymer-framed, striker-fired pistol that feels more modern. Both have unique optic mounting procedures, with Sig Sauer using a proprietary M4x0.6 thread pitch for slide-mounted optics.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key differences between the Sig Sauer P226 Legion and P320 X5 Legion?

The P226 Legion is an all-metal, DA/SA pistol with a mechanical decocker, offering a classic feel. The P320 X5 Legion is a polymer-framed, striker-fired pistol that feels more modern and 'racy', with different optic mounting procedures.

What is the specific thread pitch for direct optic mounting on Sig Sauer slides?

Sig Sauer uses a proprietary M4x0.6 thread pitch for direct optic mounting to their slides, which differs from the common industry standard of M3.5x0.6. Using the wrong screws can damage the slide threads and void the warranty.

What are common modifications considered for the Sig Sauer P320 X5 Legion?

Potential modifications for the P320 X5 Legion include trigger upgrades, such as an Agency Arms shoe for its trigger safety, and barrel upgrades like a KKM barrel for improved chamber support and reliability.

How does the optic mounting process differ between the P226 Legion and P320 X5 Legion?

The P226 Legion allows for direct optic mounting by removing a plate secured by external screws. The P320 X5 Legion's optic plate is secured internally, requiring field stripping the pistol to access the screws, making it a more involved process.
