Smells and looks like Blanton's!If you can get the same features for the money, I would love to know from where.
I have to think the frame undercut alone (adding in the refinishing) would be more than $400.
I have the Legion P229 in .357 and it's one of my EDCs.
The guns are great, and a great value for the money. The whole "legion" nonsense was another Sig blunder in my opinion. No mystique or exclusivity, just overpriced accessories.

I've been debating over this and a CZ TSO or Shadow 2 for some time.I will add, for the SAO Legion models my answer is YES.
They are fantastic and the flat trigger really works better for me over the curved SAO triggers that have been available on other models.
Thanks so much for your objective response. This info is very valuable in making my decision. Thanks again!As someone who owns both a P226 and P229 Legion, I'd say bypass them. Are they nice guns? Absolutely. Do they shoot reliably and accurately? Of course they do. Are there some extra "features" that aren't on some of the others in the P226/P229 line? Yes. Are they worth the shocking price premium over other available models? Nope. The things that I like about the Legions are down to the sights, the undercut and checkered front strap, the profile of the beaver tail which does seem to allow for a higher grip, and the smaller controls for the slide stop and de-cocker. As mentioned above, the finish isn't quite as durable as standard Sig Nitron. I carried my P229 for a stretch and it definitely shows wear on the high corners of the muzzle and around the trigger guard where it locks into the holster (I use a Blackpoint Tactical Mini Wing). The SRT trigger is no different than that of any other sig with the SRT kit. I do like the physical trigger itself as it feels better under my finger than the standard wide flat trigger that Sig typically uses. The only reason I bought my two Legions were because they were at a killer price (bought from a friend who is a private FFL) and I had some discretionary income to play with at that moment in time.

I really like both, but don't actually need another 9mm.
I'll stick with old blue for another year or two. Again, thank you all... MikeView attachment 826293
I pretty much agree with you!My wife had a P220 Legion and I had a P220 Combat. I didn’t feel like the Legion was worth any more money than the Combat. I also don’t see how it would cost Sig really any more money to make the Legion over the standard models. If you like the low profile controls and the Undercut then I’d say go for it. I personally don’t like trigger guard undercuts.
That’s kind of my take. If buying new and I liked the offering I’d get the Legion. But if I had a good sig already I don’t think I’d trade it in.If I didn't already own my P229 Nitron, I believe I would opt for the Legion.
