Enhanced with P-SAIT, this trigger has a short reset of one sixteenth of an inch that makes for fast shooting. It has an easy-to-release slide stop, but the placement of this stop right under your thumb makes it easy to interfere with the last round when firing if you have a higher grip.
The Sig P Legion comes with one more round magazine 3 total and ejects mags using a spring-loaded system. The decocking and slide catch levers that normally could snag on clothing or holsters have been reduced to create a lower profile. Nearly any brand of ammunition will work well in either pistol with only slight differences in grouping radii. Due to the annoying placement of the slide stop on the Nitron plus one less mag, the Legion, again, is superior.
Both P models sport 4. The Legion, however, is slightly longer overall than the 7. Both are excellently designed for minimal recoil. In this case, the extra length will only make the P harder to conceal than Sig Sauer P We are impressed with how the Sig P is easy to conceal due to its compact and mid-sized range.
It also has a smaller grip area, which is suitable for handling and shooting. It has the same magazine capacity and is within the same price range as the and other handguns of the same caliber.

Shoot the P a few times and you'll understand why. It's proof that classics are classics for good reasons. The P is a big Sig for the 21st Century. It's also a big gun, but instead uses a striker-fired mechanism and all that comes with it. The P full size is 8 inches long, with a 4. It's 5. The firing mechanism is a striker-fired operating system, with a 5. The frame comes railed on all frame sizes save the subcompact.
The P also comes standard in 9mm, but can be had in. Capacity for other chamberings in the flush-fit magazines are 14 of.
The P's party piece, though, is its modular design. Yes, there's the full-size model, but the trigger group can be swapped into a compact or subcompact frame and slide. You can even change calibers if you want. Or, you can swap the trigger group into the subcompact for carry and to the full-size for range work. As of now, there are also two trigger options available - a conventional blade and a tabbed trigger.
The conventional blade trigger, however, is the one implicated in the drop fire issue, so you may want to hold off on that until they've got a fix. Just like the P, the base model is fine but there are options. Competition and tactical models, night sights, reflex optics It's a great platform to work with.
The P vs. P decision depends on what you like in a gun and some other factors. Some people are going to be better suited to one over the other, for sure, as choosing between these two is not like choosing between the P vs Kimber Micro 9 , which are basically the same gun.
These two pistols are very different from each other. The Sig P is an old-school gun, one of the classics. It's a proven, battle-tested pistol platform that you can depend on to save your life if need be. That said, it's not the hardest of DA triggers by a long shot. The controls aren't ambidextrous, so right-handers are going to be the best-served. However, some folks prefer the long, hard trigger pull of a double-action pistol. It acts as a passive safety which other types of firing mechanisms can lack.
Yes, striker systems are technically inert until you pull the trigger, but anything that can pull the short, light trigger can cause an unintentional discharge. As a result, there are people that prefer DA and cocked-and-locked single action pistols to this day, and the P is one of the best DA pistols ever made.
Then again, you don't have to worry about discharges if you buy a decent holster and don't do anything stupid. In my experience, the P's go pedal is slightly better than the P's. In truth, the P's trigger has never impressed me all that much. It's light, short and has a good reset, but it has a dull plastic "thud" to it that I don't care for.
Then again, both are plenty usable. The P is all-steel; the thing is a brick. Some people like that, some people don't. It's not the easiest gun to carry everyday, though there are some people who carry one concealed often. The P is much the same in the full-size configuration, and in truth is not a whole lot easier in the Compact or Carry frames, which are "compact" only in comparison to an aircraft carrier.
Another consideration is cost. That said, a top tip is to look for surplus police pistols. But first, a brief look into the background of the model. The original SIG Sauer P traces its beginnings back several decades—the early s, to be exact—and was originally designed for the military. JSSAP came to be when the military realized and admitted they were having issues with their MA1s and also that the. In the end the program listed 85 requirements for guns submitted for possible selection, 72 of which were mandatory 13 were optional.
They also wanted an ambidextrous thumb safety and decocker. And in the typical tradition of the military JSSAP ended up involving multiple rounds of testing and quite a few years. SIG did well with their P entry. Not only did the gun hold its own against all the others, it out-performed most of them. The 92FBS became the M9 and the rest is, as we know it, firearms history. The P Nitron is the standard P model with a Nitron finish, as the name suggests. It has a 4.
At 34 oz. The fact that it has a Nitron finish does increase its resistance to corrosion and general wear and tear. The Legion version is slightly longer at 8 inches and sports a Cerakote Elite Legion gray finish. Somehow it manages to remain at 34 ounces, empty, despite the added length. The Legion was designed for a somewhat slimmer profile.
SIG accomplished this by reducing the beavertail they also contoured it to give shooters a higher grip. There were also some internal changes made to the Legion version of the P such as an all-metal guide rod and improved trigger. The guide rod being metal does add some front weight and balance to the gun, a definite bonus.
Running the two guns alongside one another was an exercise in contrasts and proof I am easily entertained. Both are well-made, reliable pistols; both fit my hands well.
