Where to buy
Osage County Guns, Sig Sauer P226 Legion RX 9mm Caliber X-Change Kit $699

https://www.osagecountyguns.com/sig-sauer-calx-226-9-bss-legion-rx.html

Call or email to ask about Mag. I asked just "I abandon Mag".
or they will block to 10, or they will exchange to 10 rnds, with extra fee.
(regular cart and checkout will not work. they will send electric invoice to pay)


My P226, modified with
GrayGuns P Series Perfection Action Kit Gen2 Competition (This is great improvement for trigger)

Bar-Sto P226 Drop in Barrel
Dawson + Williams Fiber Adjustable sight
Mag Disconnect removed and original locking block installed.

But still I don't like LCI stamp...


Current upper vs Legion Upper. LCI stamp vs LEGION Λ Logo.


ROMEO1 Red Dot Sight


Now Gray-Black two tone.


Pricing... is $699 expensive? No, IMHO.
Romeo 1 : Market price $300
X-Ray3 Night Sight : Market price $130. or more.
So what I paid for Milled slide and Barrel, firing components = about $270.
It will be cheaper than P226 slide milling for RDS, and it's SIG factory component.
And I like "LEGION" logo

Quick Test, Indoor Range

Romeo 1 Dot image

Clean circle, no distortion.
I like Up/Down switch for easy adjustment, Motion Activated Illumination, Top battery access.

Romeo 1 Review by AmericanRifleMan

https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2017/7/10/tested-sig-sauer-romeo1-reflex-sight/

I went to indoor range for zero-ing.
1st shot, at 15 yards = 0.65"/15

Very nice! surprised. I regret these Nosler handload were last 7 I had.
Nosler 115 9mm, PowerPistol 6.3, OAL 1.08"
This paper target is easy to shoot, just place red dot on center of X.

25 yard test = 2.4"/25

Not so impressive.
Hornady HAP 115 9mm, LongShot 5.8, OAL 1.08"

I will buy more Nosler 115, and test again.
Once I measured diameter, Nosler / Sierra = 0.3545 and Hornady = 0.3555... several guns like smaller diameter.

Yes My P226 is regular 226, MK25 CA

Sig Sauer P226 MK25 FULL-SIZE MK-25-CA

Frame to Slide compatibility should be all same between P226 / Legion / SAO / DASA

Wow....did not know that. Would have helped me a few months ago. Good to know.

I’ve been waiting for the P226 RX to be in stock, so this should also work for the P226 Scorpion, correct? So aside from the legion logo what’s the difference with the regular RX slide? I still need to get the slide cerakoted to match the Scorpion frame color.

Regular RX or Legion RX, ...lo, logo.
Contrast Sight or XRAY3 Night Sight
Nitron or Gray
serration, as Barang

All P226 frame are same, Nitron / MK25 / Scorpion / P226-40SW / German or US will accept other P226's slide.
Scorpion Frame + Gray Slide = it looks like P226 Combat ?

[Barang]

.... it also have front serration.

I think your post will cost me some money, thanks a lot.

More pics,
compared to P320 X-Five RX vs P226 Legion RX


P226 Legion will love 90grain, Hornady XTP 90 or Sig (Sierra) JHP 90.
I want to try next time.

P226 trigger pull, 3lbs 1.5oz


I love this looking from top, LEGION logo + Romeo 1 + perfect co-witness X-Ray night sight.

Thanks for the heads up and info on where to buy!

Similar setup. The xchange kit is a little expensive but pretty amazing. I can make groupings at 25 yards and enjoy shooting my p226 more than before.
