The word\nwas that it would follow the release pattern of DA\/SA first, then the\nsingle-action-only (SAO) would come later. I opted to hold out for the SAO,\nfiguring it would be a more interesting gun and because at the time I had just\ndone a review of the P220 Legion in .45 ACP. Had I known it would take more\nthan two years, I might not have made that choice. But, as they say, good\nthings are worth the wait, and this new Legion pistol proves that old saying to\nbe, once again, true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turns out, the wait paid off well. Not just because of the\nSAO configuration and trigger, but because it\u2019s a different pistol in many ways\nthan the P220 Legion in DA\/SA of two years ago. The frame of this handgun is\nconstructed of solid stainless steel, rather than the standard alloy frame.\nThis makes the handgun in 10mm almost a full pound heavier than the one\nchambered for .45 ACP. This is important in a couple of ways that I\u2019ll get to\nin a minute, but first, let\u2019s talk about what exactly a Legion pistol is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" title=\"10mm Gets Sophisticated\u2026 New SIG Legion P220 SAO\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Specs-Print-1.jpg\" alt=\"10mm Gets Sophisticated\u2026 New SIG Legion P220 SAO\" class=\"wp-image-128627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Specs-Print-1.jpg 960w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Specs-Print-1-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Specs-Print-1-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Specs-Print-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Table of contents<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-sig-p220-legion-10mm-sao-verdict-at-a-glance\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"10mm-sig-legion-p220-sao-review\" title=\"Sig P220 Legion 10mm SAO Review\" data-level=\"2\">Sig P220 Legion 10mm SAO Verdict at a Glance<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#h-sig-p220-legion-10mm-problems-we-found\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"10mm-sig-legion-p220-sao-review\" title=\"Sig P220 Legion 10mm SAO Review\" data-level=\"3\">Sig P220 Legion 10mm Problems We Found<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-faq\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"10mm-sig-legion-p220-sao-review\" title=\"Sig P220 Legion 10mm SAO Review\" data-level=\"2\">FAQ<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#h-is-the-sig-p220-legion-10mm-reliable\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"10mm-sig-legion-p220-sao-review\" title=\"Sig P220 Legion 10mm SAO Review\" data-level=\"3\">Is the Sig P220 Legion 10mm reliable?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-does-the-p220-legion-10mm-have-problems\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"10mm-sig-legion-p220-sao-review\" title=\"Sig P220 Legion 10mm SAO Review\" data-level=\"3\">Does the P220 Legion 10mm have problems?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-how-heavy-is-the-p220-legion-10mm\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"10mm-sig-legion-p220-sao-review\" title=\"Sig P220 Legion 10mm SAO Review\" data-level=\"3\">How heavy is the P220 Legion 10mm?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-how-much-recoil-does-the-p220-legion-10mm-have\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"10mm-sig-legion-p220-sao-review\" title=\"Sig P220 Legion 10mm SAO Review\" data-level=\"3\">How much recoil does the P220 Legion 10mm have?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-sig-p220-legion-10mm-sao-verdict-at-a-glance\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sig P220 Legion 10mm SAO Verdict at a Glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th><\/th><th>Result<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Round count<\/td><td>Several hundred rounds<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Malfunctions<\/td><td>Zero<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Frame and weight<\/td><td>Stainless, about 44 oz<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Barrel<\/td><td>5 in<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Trigger<\/td><td>Single action, averaged about 5.5 lb<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sights<\/td><td>SIG X-RAY<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Accuracy<\/td><td>Inside 3 in offhand at 11 yd; better rested at 20 yd<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Recoil<\/td><td>Mild for 10mm<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-sig-p220-legion-10mm-problems-we-found\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sig P220 Legion 10mm Problems We Found<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>No short reset trigger.<\/strong> Our reviewer still found it crisp and consistent, but shooters who want a short reset will not get one here.<\/li>\n<li><strong>One flyer.<\/strong> At 20 yards rested, one Underwood round opened a group to almost four inches.

According to SIG at the time of the debut of the Legion, it was about taking the most common upgrades and after-market changes that people were making to their SIG Sauer classic line of pistols and producing an \u201cout of the box\u201d version with extra touches. The trademark touches to a Legion pistol are Black G10 grips with Legion medallion insert; SIG X-RAY sights; Generous checkering and undercut trigger guard; Improved trigger; Legion Gray finish with \u201cLegion\u201d engraving. This is, of course, all on top of what is one of the best production handguns made to start with. To enhance the Legion experience and help set it apart, SIG Sauer created a sort of Legion Tree House that only the cool kids get to hang out in. When you purchase a Legion gun and register the product with SIG, you get a membership to \u201cLegion Only\u201d areas of their website and access to purchase exclusive Legion branded accessories and swag. You also receive a special pistol case in Legion Gray (more on this in a moment) and a challenge coin specific to your model of Legion pistol. Sounds like the marketing department running unchecked, right? Maybe so, but I will tell you that I have purchased a few of the Legion holsters and other accessories and they are top-notch products, custom made, or coordinated to the guns. And let\u2019s be honest, everyone likes to belong to the club once in a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" title=\"10mm Gets Sophisticated\u2026 New SIG Legion P220 SAO\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/RangeReady-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"10mm Gets Sophisticated\u2026 New SIG Legion P220 SAO\" class=\"wp-image-128628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/RangeReady-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/RangeReady-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/RangeReady-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/RangeReady-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/RangeReady-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/RangeReady.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Okay, now you know what the Legion series is all about, so let\u2019s talk about a few things that have changed recently. First, the Legion pistol case that SIG used to send out has been replaced with what I would describe more as a carry case. The original cases were a molded semi-rigid case with a custom foam insert that was pre-cut to exactly fit your pistol. It also had cuts for a magazine and a knife (a Legion knife, of course, sold separately) and the challenge coin. These cases were very nice, but I have to confess I found them a bit impractical. The case had no handle, so you could not carry it. And it was not suitable as a display case. All mine went directly into storage. SIG now sends a soft-sided case in a silvery-gray color with Legion logo on the exterior. The heavy-duty zippered case contains a padded pistol pouch for your gun on one side, a zippered pouch on the other, and generous elastic magazine loops. It also has sturdy double handles, and can actually be used as a nice carry bag. You\u2019ll appreciate the quality of this soft case immediately, especially when you see that it is made exclusively for SIG Legion owners by 5.11 Tactical. This writer finds it to be a more practical case and another Legion-experience improvement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" title=\"10mm Gets Sophisticated\u2026 New SIG Legion P220 SAO\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/CaseAndCoin-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"10mm Gets Sophisticated\u2026 New SIG Legion P220 SAO\" class=\"wp-image-128629\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/CaseAndCoin-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/CaseAndCoin-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/CaseAndCoin-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/CaseAndCoin-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/CaseAndCoin-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/CaseAndCoin.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another big change was the switch from a PVD finish to a Cerakote finish. I had not heard of that change prior to receiving the test gun, but the moment I opened the box I saw the difference. Cerakote has a different look than PVD, the former being \u2018wetter\u2019 look. Also, because different finish materials are used, the Legion Gray coloring is a shade more on the green side than it previously was. The subjectivity of color and hue aside, the switch to Cerakote is a positive move. The gray PVD was always troublesome to many Legion owners because it had a very dry, almost powdery appearance, and it would quickly wear thin in high friction areas like the slide rails. Cerakote is a thicker and harder coating and has some natural lubricity. Earlier Legion owners with PVD coatings should not despair, however, future collector\u2019s value of the \u201cfirst generation with PVD\u201d pistols just went up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" title=\"10mm Gets Sophisticated\u2026 New SIG Legion P220 SAO\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/10mmElements-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"10mm Gets Sophisticated\u2026 New SIG Legion P220 SAO\" class=\"wp-image-128630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/10mmElements-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/10mmElements-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/10mmElements-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/10mmElements-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/10mmElements-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/10mmElements.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trigger of the SAO is not much different from its dual-mode counterpart in terms of physical shape or pull weight. The 10mm cartridge generates so much pressure and force that changes to the trigger group are difficult to make. It would still be nice to see something in the future from the master shop or Grayguns, but that is speculation at best. A short reach\/short reset trigger can be placed in a P220 10mm but wasn\u2019t in this case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" title=\"10mm Gets Sophisticated\u2026 New SIG Legion P220 SAO\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Trigger-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"10mm Gets Sophisticated\u2026 New SIG Legion P220 SAO\" class=\"wp-image-128631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Trigger-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Trigger-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Trigger-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Trigger-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Trigger-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Trigger.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>SHOOTING THE P220 SAO 10mm Legion<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The P220 is, for all intents and purposes, the one that started it all for SIG Sauer. Its most popular early incarnation was in .45 ACP, and it became iconic among law enforcement, military, and civilian alike. As mentioned, the 10mm version is made entirely of stainless steel, frame and slide. This is due to the extreme pressures created by the 10mm cartridge (up to 37,500 psi). That construction puts this 5\u201d barreled P220 at about 44 ounces, nearly a full pound heavier than the standard P220 with a 4.4\u201d barrel and alloy frame. It also makes this gun a much tamer shooter than it might otherwise be. I shot everything from the lower-powered range ammo to the bear hunting loads, and at no time did I feel the recoil was excessive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" title=\"10mm Gets Sophisticated\u2026 New SIG Legion P220 SAO\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/MuzzleFlash-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"10mm Gets Sophisticated\u2026 New SIG Legion P220 SAO\" class=\"wp-image-128632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/MuzzleFlash-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/MuzzleFlash-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/MuzzleFlash-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/MuzzleFlash-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/MuzzleFlash-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/MuzzleFlash.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The X-RAY3 sights on the Legion continue to be among my very\nfavorite on any handgun, and provide a fast acquisition combat sight picture,\nwhile still offering enough precision to take long carefully aimed shots. And\nbecause they contain Tritium\u00ae front and rear, you have an excellent 3-dot sight\npicture even in complete darkness. But daylight is where these sights really\nrock. The bright green ring that surrounds the Tritium\u00ae center of the front\nsight is almost eye-piercing when you raise the gun. The rear sight is serrated\nfor anti-glare and finished in a matt black and the Tritium\u00ae dots are\nunderstated for better front sight focus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" title=\"10mm Gets Sophisticated\u2026 New SIG Legion P220 SAO\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Sights-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"10mm Gets Sophisticated\u2026 New SIG Legion P220 SAO\" class=\"wp-image-128633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Sights-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Sights-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Sights-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Sights-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Sights-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Sights.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don\u2019t do much double and triple tapping with 10mm\u2019s, but it was nice to discover that you almost can with this pistol and keep the shots on target. Muzzle rise is on par with a 9mm pocket pistol, maybe even tamer than that. I also found the trigger to be very suitable during live fire, with more a combat feel than one of the target pistol. I found the gun easy to shoot well, both off-hand and rested. The ergonomics of the P220 fit my hands very well and this gives me my best chance to holding a steady sight picture and maintaining proper trigger control. The G10 offers fantastic friction without being in any way uncomfortable or sharp, and it wraps around to cover the rear. This is also true of the checkering on the frontstrap. Shooting a full magazine of defense load 10mm without having to re-adjust my grip is pretty convincing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" title=\"10mm Gets Sophisticated\u2026 New SIG Legion P220 SAO\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Textures-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"10mm Gets Sophisticated\u2026 New SIG Legion P220 SAO\" class=\"wp-image-128634\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Textures-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Textures-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Textures-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Textures-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Textures-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Textures.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, why single-action-only you ask? Personal preferences, really, it all comes down to the type of action you like best. Double Action\/Single Action has many benefits, and is the standard action type for most SIG Sauer handguns, but there are those who just can\u2019t deal with two types of trigger pulls, and want to know that their trigger will feel the same with every shot. That is the most common reason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another is that a single-action trigger can be tuned more easily most of the time because it has but one mode of operation. I won\u2019t claim a preference, I appreciate each for what it brings to the table. In the case of this 10mm Legion, I made up my mind early on that I wanted to shoot the SAO. And while it does not have a short reset trigger, it is remarkably responsive and tactile. It is also very consistent and crisp, measuring on average exactly 5 \u00bd pounds. And because a single-action-only is\u2026 well, single action only, there is no de-cocker control to safely drop the hammer. But there is an ambidextrous manual thumb safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The safety on the P220 SAO operates much like that of a 1911 and is positioned and sized to about the same specs. It\u2019s the same size on both sides of the pistol, so you lefties don\u2019t have to make do with skinny, half-hearted control. When raised (engaged) there is a visible white dot to indicate that the pistol is on safe. It\u2019s also wide enough to serve as a thumb rest, for you 1911ers. One of the features I like best about the safety on the P220 Legion is that you can fully manipulate the slide and all other controls, except the trigger, when it\u2019s engaged. This means that administrative tasks such as loading\/unloading and chambering a round can all be done with the safety on. You can even fully field strip the pistol with the safety engaged. The slide can be fully racked and the hammer need not be cocked to engage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" title=\"10mm Gets Sophisticated\u2026 New SIG Legion P220 SAO\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Safety-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"10mm Gets Sophisticated\u2026 New SIG Legion P220 SAO\" class=\"wp-image-128635\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Safety-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Safety-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Safety-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Safety-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Safety-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Safety.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fieldwork with this gun spanned a couple of range days and several hundred rounds of ammo. There were no malfunctions of any kind, not even a hint of one. And everything put through it found its mark. The accuracy of the 5\u201d barrel combined with the fantastic sight picture makes even me feel like a marksman. Shooting off-hand from about 11 yards, I was able to consistently keep everything inside 3\u201d groups. Rested tests at 20 yards performed even better, with the exception of a single round of Underwood that got away from me and made its group almost 4\u201d. I generally shoot groups of five, and I always call out the best three from that group to help eliminate shooter errors such as that. I truly believe that the 3-shot numbers are more indicative of the performance capabilities of both gun and ammo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" title=\"10mm Gets Sophisticated\u2026 New SIG Legion P220 SAO\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/AccuracyChart-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"10mm Gets Sophisticated\u2026 New SIG Legion P220 SAO\" class=\"wp-image-128636\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/AccuracyChart-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/AccuracyChart-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/AccuracyChart-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/AccuracyChart-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/AccuracyChart-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/AccuracyChart.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" title=\"10mm Gets Sophisticated\u2026 New SIG Legion P220 SAO\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Targets-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"10mm Gets Sophisticated\u2026 New SIG Legion P220 SAO\" class=\"wp-image-128637\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Targets-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Targets-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Targets-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Targets-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Targets-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Targets.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>JUST MY OPINION<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Legion line has become a well-known segment of the SIG Sauer brand. Overall, I think the Legions do an excellent job of providing the \u201cbells and whistles\u201d version of each model offered, while simultaneously building its own recognizable value for the brand enthusiast. Doubtless, the marketing department had a hand in creating the Legion product line, but it was clearly driven by \u201cgun guy\u201d and\/or \u201cgun gals\u201d to make it a reality. These guns are made by shooters, for shooters, with an element of smooth operator and classy collector thrown in. The extra swag and accessories, some free, some available for exclusive purchase, add to the Legion experience for owners. Your gun\u2019s serial number will allow you to create an account on SIG\u2019s special Legion website, where you can see products others can\u2019t, and of course, purchase them. There are also exclusive deals to be had from time to time. It\u2019s all part of being a grown boy and getting access to the treehouse. And if all that is of little interest to you, take heart knowing you have one of the finest production handguns made, an heirloom in itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" title=\"10mm Gets Sophisticated\u2026 New SIG Legion P220 SAO\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/FieldStrip-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"10mm Gets Sophisticated\u2026 New SIG Legion P220 SAO\" class=\"wp-image-128638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/FieldStrip-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/FieldStrip-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/FieldStrip-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/FieldStrip-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/FieldStrip-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/FieldStrip.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">For more information\u00a0visit Sig Sauer website.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-faq\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-is-the-sig-p220-legion-10mm-reliable\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the Sig P220 Legion 10mm reliable?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our test gun ran several hundred rounds with zero malfunctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-does-the-p220-legion-10mm-have-problems\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does the P220 Legion 10mm have problems?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We found no reliability problems.
