Sig Sauer P226 Elite SAO - Reviews?

[ruddogg]

The standard DA/SA is about 4lbs, while the SAO is about 5lbs.

I have had my eye on Sig's P226 platform as my first Sig Sauer purchase. I am very close to pulling the trigger on a P226 Elite SAO but would like to hear some reviews from Calgunners with first hand experience shooting the SAO.

The DA/SA P226 is far more prevalent and so I wonder why the SAO is not as popular. Although I do see a DA/SA P226 in my future, I gravitate towards the SAO because it is in line with my strike-fired M&P and DAO/LEM H&K.

Anyone have bad things to say about the SAO? Good things?

The SAO sigs are ALL excellent. I have a 226 X5 Entry, 220 Supermatch, 220 X6 and 220 Compact SAO. Every single SAO has been amazing. The trigger pull is lighter in the X6 (for competition) but other than that they are all pretty similar. I love SAO sigs! DA/SA is nice but SAO just kicks DA/SA's ***

I had a P220 But the wood grip was just way to big. I sold it and used the money towards a Baer. But since everyone else is posting pics of their SAO's, here's mine;

Here's my rig with a .40 upper for duty carry.

The thing I like the most about the SAO is that when I have a high grip with thumbs forward, I don't tend to ride the slide release. I tend to ride the safety instead like when I'm shooting my 1911.

all beautiful Sigs, the 2-tone 220 is hot.
