Author: Hunter Gilroy. About The Author. Reply Feb 27, Len Sands. I happen to be one lucky dude. It had never been previously shot and I have never shot it. The regular X5 has a Grayguns Competition trigger and a Springer tungsten guide rod with a 13 recoil spring.
The Legion is running stock with the exception of changing out the recoil spring from 14 to Both springs were included with the gun and the 14 spring was causing stoppages. If I could only pic one, which would it be? It also has the absolute best out of the box trigger I have eve shot in a production gun without modification.
Combined with the Romeo 1 optics in 6moa Sig swapped out the 3moa it came with. It is a real gem. So to sum it up I would say this. If today was just another day and life was going on as normal, I can truly say that the P X5 Legion is the ticket. Reply Oct 04, I really like Sig, although only in theory In Russia it is forbidden to have short-barrel weapons. Thanks for this article. If God allows to be in America, I now know what to give preference to P Reply Aug 05, The P is not all steel.
Also the P does not have two trigger options. If this article was written in April , then why is the article stating to hold off on the P due to the drop fire issue when Sig fixed that a long time ago? Reply May 30, Interesting write up. However, the P is not a steel pistol. The 'normal' P has a steel slide, but an aluminum frame.
The Elite models seem to be the all-steel ones. Regardless, a P isn't as light as many other firearms out there. And I like it that way: tames recoil better than a lighter gun of same size [or smaller]- from my experiences. Just a small correction. Reply Apr 30, Les Burns. Addendum to my earlier comments about the Sig P vs. I have two Alien Gear holsters. Either fits the P or the P Now you know how I can carry a heavy Sig P comfortably, and concealed.
It's in an Alien Gear holster. Reply Apr 08, This is a very informative, and well written, comparison of these two handguns. I am not a large man, but I do carry the Sig P concealed most of the time. I prefer the 10mm over the other calibers also own a P tactical. Sigs have internal safeties and the decocking lever.
Classic Sig are not meant to carry cocked, like a or so and with the decocking lever it is very safe to drop the hammer. The only Sig pistols I know of, that have an external safety is the Sig , the P22x X-Series exept the allround version.
The frames differ only in length and the width of the grip the P is a tad wider but not much. But there are some nice features on the Legion pistols. Most of these can be added to a regular Nitron P and that is what I have done.
If you really want a beavertail, the miniaturized decocker and slide stop levers, and the frame and slide modifications found on the Legion, then it is probably worth the price. To join the Legion, just buy a Legion Series handgun.

They may not make as good safe queens as they once may have been, but the classic lines p, p,p,p ect are still great shooters IMHO. So are the new ones made in NH good quality as compared to the ones made in Germany. Would I even know the difference? Could you explain the extra lube required for them? They both are great shooters, never had a problem out of either.
Mags are getting hard to find just like all the others though currently. These guns take very well to a quality grease I use froglube or tw25b being applied reasonably liberally to the rails.
I've owned some guns that need just a few precise drops of rem oil in the right spots but my new sigs function noticibly better when a proper grease is evenly applied to the entire rail. You can't go wrong with either. I can't speak to the extra lube question because I've never heard anything like that.
Sig built their factory in the USA to circumvent the import restrictions on firearms and the requirement for military contractors to be in the United States at least that is my understanding.
As far as I am aware, there is no difference in the construction or specs of US made pistols versus German made pistols. As has been previously mentioned, you cannot go wrong with either the P or the P They are both accurate, reliable pistols. I will never sell or trade my I was issued a sig and yes they require more lube than say With a thin gun oil like remoil my would barely fire 50 rds before it would start failing to go into battery. With grease on the rails or a better gun oil like breakfree it would shoot hundreds of rounds without a problem.
Sigs are like ar15's. They prefer to be run "wet". In comparison glocks and DA revolvers are more suited to run almost dry. To the original question I do think the older European made Sigs are better made than the new sigs full of elcheapo MIM parts. Short reset trigger Night Sites, polished throat Action enhancement.
I have read too many times that SRT is the bomb! I do have a question, what is meant by the polished throat and action enhancement? What performance is gained? Just curious, I have not seen that before unless it is called something else.
I have several Sigophile friends who tried to "turn" me to their way of thinking. One is a Sig Armorer. They had me for awhile when I had the X5 Tactical. I've only owned 3 Sigs but had several on lone for a couple months from one of these "friends" all SAOs except for the pair of s, one with SRT and the other without, I liked the non-SRT better in that pistol.
X5 is a great service sized pistol and easy to shoot accurately. Even with a custom holster that prevented the safety from pushing off I don't like carrying SAO Sigs cocked and locked. The others I had on loan were SAO s, very accurate and easy to shoot well, but like the X5, too big for me to carry. As for carrying the s I didn't like they way they shot, recoil impulse or muzzle flip.
I didn't like the way they came to hand. Most who know me know I will try anything and have them all or at least free shooting access to a lot. I still carry a Keltec. Your mileage and tastes may vary. I put the P in my hand and it felt like a glove.
Based on our testing, both the Sig P and P can handle recoil well. The difference in their recoil energies and velocities are minimal and negligible if we assume that they are both chambered in the same handgun caliber. In these situations, most people would point and shoot by instinct. In this case, the extra length will only make the P harder to conceal than Sig Sauer P We are impressed with how the Sig P is easy to conceal due to its compact and mid-sized range.
It also has a smaller grip area, which is suitable for handling and shooting. It has the same magazine capacity and is within the same price range as the and other handguns of the same caliber. Your email address will not be published.
