The Legion Advantage: Elevating a Legendary Platform

The P220 holds a special place in SIG SAUER's history as the foundational pistol for its modern era. The Legion series takes this proven design and elevates it to new heights, incorporating a suite of enhancements born from extensive user feedback and a commitment to ultimate performance. Every detail of the P220 Legion 10mm SAO has been scrutinized and optimized. This means more than just aesthetic upgrades; it signifies a comprehensive redesign focused on improving every aspect of the firearm's interaction with the shooter.

Key Enhancements for Superior Performance and Control

The P220 Legion is replete with features that contribute to its exceptional performance and user experience. These aren't just add-ons; they are integrated components that work in harmony to provide a distinct advantage for the shooter.

• Advanced Sighting System: Equipped with SIG SAUER Electro-Optics X-RAY3 high-visibility day/night sights, the P220 Legion ensures rapid target acquisition and precise aim in a variety of lighting conditions. These sights feature a bright green front sight with a tritium insert, paired with two tritium-powered rear dots, providing an intuitive and clear sight picture whether you're shooting in broad daylight or low-light environments. This critical enhancement directly impacts speed and accuracy, allowing shooters to maintain focus on their target without struggling to align their sights.
• Enhanced Grip and Ergonomics: The custom G-10 grips, adorned with the iconic Legion medallion, offer an aggressive texture that provides superior purchase and control, even in adverse conditions or with gloved hands. Complementing these grips is more aggressive front strap checkering and additional checkering under the trigger guard. This comprehensive approach to texturing ensures a secure and consistent grip, minimizing movement during rapid fire.
• Optimized Trigger Guard and Beavertail: An X-Five undercut applied to the trigger guard allows for a higher grip on the pistol, bringing the shooter’s hand closer to the bore axis. This significantly enhances control and reduces muzzle flip, leading to faster and more accurate follow-up shots. The reduced and contoured Elite beavertail further supports a higher grip, while simultaneously reducing the overall profile of the firearm, making it more comfortable for extended shooting sessions and less prone to "printing" if carried.
• Low-Profile Controls: Understanding the demands of dynamic shooting, SIG SAUER engineered low-profile decocking and slide-catch levers. This thoughtful design minimizes the risk of accidental snagging on clothing or gear during presentation or re-holstering, ensuring a smoother and more reliable operation under pressure.
• Precision-Tuned Trigger System: At the heart of the P220 Legion’s exceptional shootability is its enhanced polished action, which incorporates the renowned SRT (Short-Reset Trigger) system. The SRT dramatically reduces the trigger reset travel, enabling incredibly fast and efficient follow-up shots. This is further augmented by a Grayguns, Inc. designed P-SAIT (SIG Armorer Installed Trigger) trigger. This custom-tuned trigger provides a crisp break and consistent pull, contributing significantly to accuracy and shooter confidence. The single-action-only (SAO) trigger action delivers a light, precise pull for maximum control.
• Solid Steel Guide Rod: A solid steel guide rod adds essential weight to the front of the pistol. This strategic addition helps to mitigate felt recoil and muzzle rise, making the powerful 10mm Auto caliber more manageable and allowing for greater control and faster sight recovery between shots.

The Power of 10mm Auto: Unleashing True Performance

Why choose the 10mm Auto caliber? The 10mm Auto is celebrated for its impressive power and versatility. It bridges the gap between traditional handgun calibers and rifle cartridges, offering significant energy transfer and flat trajectories over extended ranges. For those asking, "What is the best caliber for hunting medium game with a handgun?" or "Which pistol caliber offers significant stopping power?", the 10mm Auto is often a top recommendation. When paired with the robust, full-size stainless steel frame of the P220 Legion, the 10mm Auto cartridge finds an ideal platform. This combination provides the mass necessary to effectively manage the recoil of such a potent round, making it not only powerful but also surprisingly controllable. The P220 Legion 10mm SAO is therefore an excellent choice for a variety of applications where power and precision are paramount, including competitive shooting, wilderness defense, or simply enjoying the challenge of mastering a high-performance cartridge.

The frame is crafted from durable stainless steel, providing a solid foundation that can withstand the rigors of the powerful 10mm Auto cartridge and extended use. Both the frame and slide are finished in the distinctive Legion Gray, a proprietary coating that not only enhances the pistol's aesthetic appeal but also provides excellent resistance to wear and corrosion. The 5.0-inch carbon steel barrel contributes to the pistol's inherent accuracy, ensuring consistent performance shot after shot. Every component, from the front cocking serrations that provide greater purchase for cycling the action or conducting press checks, to the seamless integration of the Sig Rail for accessories, speaks to SIG SAUER’s unwavering commitment to building firearms that are as reliable as they are precise.

The inclusion of three 8-round steel magazines ensures that you have ample capacity right out of the box, ready for extended range sessions or demanding applications.
