(This happened much faster than I thought it would - sold a P320 Scorpion and a TX 22 to fund it.)
First rounds/Impression.
Sig Sauer P229 Legion SAO.
I've always been partial to Compact sized (Glock 19 ish) handguns. Only over the last 14 months have I delved into full-sized handguns as well as hammer fired SAO - Walther PDP (striker fired); Staccato P; and P 226 Legion.
This P229 just hit the sweet spot for me. Size is great. It just feels right in my hands. Trigger is great - reach is also great for me as well.
I put 11 magazines through it last night - including the rounds to zero the dot. If this thing could talk, it would scream "go fast"..........instead it just telepathically communicated that to me the entire session. It was difficult to shoot slow.
While I did not bring anything else to shoot for comparison, I'm sure I would have shot this better than any of my striker fired and probably the same as my full sized P226 or Staccato P.
Compared to what I have shot and owned - if I could only have 1 hammer fired handgun (DA/SA or SAO) - this one would be the keeper - all things considered - size, fit, and cost.
On a personal note - This was my 1st range trip of the month and was much needed. I have some constant (abnormal??) stressors I deal with in my life. On top of that, since mid November we are in the middle of a major home remodel in 1/3 of the house - no kitchen, project supervisor left (Now I may understand why), dates pushed back, no or miscommunication, etc. The actual work - framers, demo, HVAC, electricians, plumbers, drywallers - has been solid. Could also have been a mitigating factor in why I was running this thing fast.
1 mag = 21 ft. 1 mag= 30 ft. Rapid fire -
Last target of the session - 21 ft rapid fire - moving thru the target(s) - 1 center mass followed by 1 to the head.
(came across these targets on amazon - something different/fun.)
