You could buy two legion sao for that price. You are well into proper 2011 like the staccato for 2800. I really like my legion 226. But 2800 is just nuts. It's only a sig.

Hello sir. Price aside, imo the reserve looks much nicer than the legion, atleast in pics. I looked it up on Google and a few places are selling it for between 2100 to 2400. I concur, the price tag is very high just for the aesthetics with zero improvements to the internal mechanisms.

I'm a Sig fan and I really like the 226 and 229 lines. This one isn't worth the price of admission. Hard to beat the Legion LE 226/229 models. This model looks damn good but where is the work on the internals for $2800??

So it looks like with the adjustable rear sight and the coating costs about 1400. Oh my bad and the grip panels. It all makes sense now.

Sig gonna keep polishing a turd?

See below for updates. Had wrong Sig platform in my brain. Love the 226!!!

I'll disagree with you there. You take a base model 226 vs a Glock and the 226 will outshoot a gen 5 Glock in my hands. If you consider say my 220 in 45 ACP it shoots better for me then a buddies g21.3 as well. I like the extended beaver tail of the legion line. If you consider a sao version of the 226 or 229 variety id put that trigger against some production 2011 offerings. Yes it's that crisp and light.

The only thing that takes a minute is the higher bore axis of a 226. Give it 500 rounds though and anticipating the recoil becomes easy and it's go fast time.

The 226 isn't a turd, but no amount of tweaking and stylizing would make me spend over 2K on one either.

I generally disagreed with his assessment of the X5 as mine is shooting straight lazer beams at distance but the man is the one I trust the most for gun "reviews" and I literally laughed out loud when he dropped that video title on YT.

I will also disagree with you here. The P226 is not a turd. It is a wonderful handgun with its share of flaws from MY perspective. As @rustygun correctly pointed, the bore axis is higher but your eyes and trigger finger will get used to it with ample practice. I recently shifted to a 19x from a P226, but the 226 will always have my respect.

Now coming to the SIG reserve. I am only critical of it from the 'value of money' perspective. A 2800 dollars handgun with only improvements in the aesthetics is not justified.

My apologies, I hadn’t had my coffee yet. No, the P226 is a GREAT gun! For some reason, I thought this was about the P320. My mistake.

All is forgiven.

Although I would equate the 320 to a hand grenade rather than a turd.

The P226 X-Five Reserve is very nice and the finish is amazing in person. I have one set aside at my LGS, but I have a couple others to focus on first.

Pretty hilarious

Like Glock produces anything in the same stratosphere

Did you get a chance to shoot it ?

 

[tacticaljoey]

Meh, I kind find better ways to spend $2800, but that’s just my opinion. I’m sure it’s a fine a pistol, but I would rather have a staccato for that money.

I don’t have it yet.

I have the Classic and Legion American X-Fives

I hear you, Joe

That Sig is pretty darn nice though. I prefer it over the Staccatos for the same price. I love my XL and XC, but they were a good deal more money.
