To Legion or not to Legion

[Ggreen]

I really want a single action only pistol in 9mm. I'm between a legion and a high power. Legion's are easier to get ahold of new than a high power (around me) sooo..... pro's cons experiences? This is a just because I can pistol. I've got a nice competition pistol, a nice hd pistol, and so this is just something to take to the range when I feel like giving the 75 a break.

Legion Sao is the best 9mm I've ever used out of the box. We clicked, super natural fit with the flat trigger, but ymmv. Great guns, highly recommend.

Easy. Build a SAO 75B. I ran the crap out of one yesterday, most fun I've had with a gun in a long time. CGW straight trigger is ...

Personal opinion. I've shot several Legions, they aren't for me. They are nice, but "meh" to me. I like a good Hi-Power, but would still choose a SAO 75B.

Any of the options should be fun.

Have not shot a High Power but do own the Sig Legion SAO 226 and it is one sweet shooter, would highly recommend!

The best non 1911 SAO guns out currently IMHO are the Legion P226 and the CZ Tactical Sport pistols

CZ-USA CZ 75 Tactical Sport Orange - CZ-USA

I love Hi Powers. But just never seemed to shoot them all that well. It's a classy design and has a cool history.

But I do loves me some Sig pistols and shoot them well

When you say "single action only 9mm" I think of these:

Ruger® New Model Blackhawk® Convertible Single-Action Revolver Models

Well said and I agree. Legion SAO is an awesome gun. I also agree with Rusty that a 75B (or 75 compact) with the CGW Pro package and straight SAO trigger is really nice as well. By the time you add the custom parts, grips and new sights on the CZ, you'd be close to the price of the Sig. For something great right out of the box, pick the Legion SAO and for something that you can customize and make your own, go with the CZ

I have a BHP and the Sig in question. I picked the Sig for the poll.

That is a sexy pistol! I love they way they look, not really something for me, but a very sweet looking firearm.

Both awesome choices!

Gun Shop had a shiny new five-seven.... sooo maybe in the future I'll pick up a legion lol

Go cz for an awesome sao 9mm under $1000...
Look at CZCustom or Oak Hill Guns (online) and check out the CZ 75 Shadow SAO - not the standard 75b sao.

I also have to concur here. I have a Legion P226 SAO, and it is head and shoulders above any of my other pistols. I have not shot a High Power, so I can't compare, but I have ZERO regrets on my Legion purchase, and if I lost it, I would buy again immediately.
