    So I've been looking to add a P226 to the collection sometime in the near future and have a couple different models I'm thinking about. Is a Legion really worth the 200+ dollar premium over say an Extreme or Enhanced Elite?? Already have a 229 Extreme and think it's an excellent pistol, just looking for some input and what others think.

    I've shot a Legion as well as non-Legion Sigs and IMHO, I think they are worth the premium. Just my opinion based on a small sample size though.

    I guess another thing that I have a bit of concern with is the PVD finish, read a few things that it's not that durable/scratches easily.

    I have a 226 SAO and really like it, is it worth the premium IMO you bet!. If you want a pretty hand gun to look at I say look else where as I consider the 226 a fighting sidearm.

    Oh it's going to be a 226, no doubt about that! Just a matter of which model

    Oh, nearly forgot the Short Reset Trigger. If you haven't shot a Sig with that, you haven't lived.

    Lol! I know exactly what you mean! I've got a 229 Extreme and it has a SRT trigger and I think it's amazing!

    I am of the impression the SAO legion is worth it, for what it's worth. :) it's the best 9mm I've had so far. Seems like the SAO is the one worth having. Don't care to shoot my Mk25 or a 1911 9mm since having it.
