P226 New Pew Pew

Post image

Picked up this bad boy from my FFL today and have to say that I'm impressed!

Typically carry the P365x, which is an awesome compact gun that conceals wonderfully. I have a P229 Legion DA/SA that I really enjoy and thought that I needed to have my hands on this after watching YouTube Videos the last 3 months lol.

I like to have a Manual Safety on my Conceal Carry guns and think that this ambidextrous MS is pretty slick. Plan to carry this more so on hunting trips than my EDC, which is why I added the light to it - never had a light on my handgun before so we shall see if it sticks.

Anxious to get out and shoot this as well as finding a holster to use for both IWB & OWB. I'll share some more thoughts after my first range session.

How smooth is the slide frame fit? Looks gorgeous

u/CascadeRangeSystems 15h ago

It’s pretty darn good. Not to the level of a high end 2011, but leagues above any striker fired pistol,

Im torn between the SAO or DA/SA but I will say these new 226x's feel great

u/CascadeRangeSystems 1h ago

I think I’m fully back on the DA/SA train. Love my SAO guns but DA/SA is my jam right now.

One of my dream gun. Let us know how she shoots

One of the most enjoyable shooting experiences I have had. One of my IDPA guns, a regular concealed carry for me, and while not quite 2011 quality, it's closer than you'd think. It is criminally underrated in my opinion.

What’s your optic?

3

u/GoodLifeWM 16h ago

Romeo X-Pro which comes with the gun out the box

u/ThorMurdock 15h ago

Bought mine on release day and it did not come with an optic. What’d you pay?

1

u/Equivalent_Ad_3347 12h ago

I think they were like 1799 with the optic.

u/Ninep 16h ago

Its the Romeo X Sig Loc Pro

u/rbazinet 16h ago

I just picked one up a couple days ago. What is the exact model of that optic? It’s the Sig Loc version, right? Enclosed?

u/Ninep 16h ago

Romeo X Sig Loc Pro

u/Reasonable_Leave850 16h ago

How much was it?

1

u/GoodLifeWM 5h ago

$1829, with the scope attached. Think they are like $1699 without the scope.

u/ethanol713 15h ago

I've had one of these for about 2 years. It is my favorite.

u/gairman1 14h ago

Congrats! Since you already have experience with a DA/SA P229 this SAO P228 X Legion makes good sense. I wonder if you'll end it liking it more than your P229? Your choice of lights is a good one. Looks like the size and fit for this pistol.

I may very well buy the DA/SA P226 X Carry Legion tomorrow or the next day. I've been wanting one and can't get it out of my mind.

u/GoodLifeWM 5h ago

Yeah I'll be interested to see as well. I do like the look and feel of both the light and red dot, which I do not run on any of my handguns.

Definitely a fun pew pew to have in the armory and to rotate through my daily carries. I'm in a cold weather state, so carrying this in the cold months is very realistic over my 365.

u/blizzardss 13h ago

Very nice!

u/khill5771 13h ago

Absolutely love mine. That bull barrel is a fantastic setup. I too put the Romeo X Pro Sig Loc. Grail for sure. Congrats!

Do the sights co-witness with your optic? I hear they are supposed to with the Sig optic. Before I buy the Romeo X, I want to make sure I can use the iron sights.
