Due to the company’s reputation for rugged, high quality firearms, everyone from local police departments to elite units such as SEAL teams have employed them to face evil at all threat levels. -TS- O ne of aspect of the industry SIG Sauer really excels at over their competition is in continuing to expand their product catalogue with new and updated models. By using the direct feedback obtained by these real-world users, SIG strives to give shooters exactly what they want. In late 2015, Sig Sauer launched the new “Legion” series of firearms in the spirt of those elite operators around the world and the great Roman armies that are credited for personifying the “warrior mentality”. This series featured slick new upgrades and revisions of previously successful models such as old war horses P226, P220 and P229 as its first releases. Viewed as the company’s top tier series, these new upgrades included things such as G10 grips, X-Ray series sights, Grey Guns triggers, redesigned user controls and even a sleek new gray Cerakote finish. While these upgrades were great additions that would normally cost twice as much to piecemeal together using a standard model as its base, the original Legion offerings were still true to the base models in overall feel and impressive performance. That all changed in 2019 when SIG announced a new addition to the Legion line up with a departure from the traditional hammer and sear models in favor of the more modern striker fire offering in their completely upgraded SIG Legion XFIVE P320. 36
