The P229 is a classic icon. Sig fans have finally had their dreams come true with the announcement of the much anticipated Legion Series P229 Single Action Only. I carried the 229 Double Action Only as a duty weapon. I would have paid full retail to get an SAO model. The higher grip, reduced profile and new trigger is going to give new life to a classic.
SIG’s Legion is an exclusive members-only access program available to owners of the SIG SAUER Legion Series of firearms. Upon registration of any Legion Series firearm, members receive a complimentary thermo-mold carrying case, a challenge coin matched to the firearm, exclusive access to Legion gear and merchandise, and receive exclusive communications from SIG SAUER and the Legion.
