Might have to get one of these
I got it directly from K-Var. I have two of them. The first one is from RSR (I've had for a long time) and the other with the G10 grips is only available through K-Var. I'm a FFL Dealer, just a FYI.Thanks for chiming in. Where did you get the arex? Seems to be few distributors.
So you'll sell me one of yours? :animlol:I got it directly from K-Var. I have two of them. The first one is from RSR (I've had for a long time) and the other with the G10 grips is only available through K-Var. I'm a FFL Dealer, just a FYI.
Thank you, good to know.The mags will fit in the mag wells but neither will lock in place or otherwise work. The latches are in different locations or have different profiles.
Whoopee! Ain't I speeshul now.But don't you get a special coin with the Sig and membership in an elite club?
If so they owe me about six and I want them immediately. Haha.But don't you get a special coin with the Sig and membership in an elite club?
If you watch a bit more closely, you'll notice that once the Legion was cleaned the ejection was consistent. Once any debris, no matter how small, was introduced the gun was just barely popping the spent cases out. That tells me something else is amiss.Yes, you are correct. My initial post was dead wrong.
I paused the video halfway through and then continued it. Somehow I missed the initial troubles without realizing it and saw the part where he got the gun up and running again. I had to rewatch it after I saw your response.
Yea, it choked. Pretty surprising, but these "torture test" always have inconsistent results. I have seen all brands of gun both choke completely and reign supreme in dozens of the tests I have watched.
They are entertaining, but I don't choose a gun based on the results of them.
It is an interesting vid, and I think very valid -both weapons were subjected to the same treatment.Thank you for watching.
Here's what's even more interesting, the tests aren't all that harsh. I'm not pouring dirt and sand into an open ejection port like I've seen others do. I'm not burying the gun in sand, dirt and mud then pressing it into the firearm as hard as I can. I'm basically laying the loaded gun, round in the chamber, hammer down, mag inserted, into the dirt/mud/sand and giving it a push downward as if you were falling on the gun in the field. Good grief, any fighting tool should be able to take such little abuse. The fact the Legion had so many issues, both minor and serious, is disheartening for me. I fully expected the Sig to shine as the Arex did.
Instead of buying $25 mags, you'd rather buy $40 mags?I would be more interested in the Rex 1 but its a bummer that it doesn't use (readily available) Sig mags....
It's crazy in that a $1200 Sig would fail in basic tests and the $600 dollar, kind of clone, passes with flying colors. I have a few Sig's, including a 229 Legion but mine won't see the dirt and grime of your test...well, it shouldn't lol. Mine might very well pass with flying colors and it might not. Regardless, I like your video's, your tests, always watching. And yes, I may buy a Rex 1 from your shop, this video has peaked my interest. I did watch your initial review on it but damn, this was an eye opener.Thank you for watching.

The new Sig's are over rated based on what? I will say the Legion was a bit pricey for what you got but it's come down. I love the smooth trigger, it beats all my Sig's in that regard. I have one German made Sig and I can't say it's better or worse than my newer Sig's. Cost less but until someone puts up data points, research, all is conjecture and baseless opinion. That goes with my opinion as well, that modern day Sig's are tough, reliable guns, just as much as the older Sig's. I can say though, MAC's Rex 1 whooped up on that 226 Legion!I agree with the above comments.
New "classic" Sigs are NOW over-rated and over priced.....
