The SIG Sauer P226 Legion SAO delivers match-grade precision with single-action reliability for competitive shooters and tactical professionals. This optics-ready variant features the acclaimed Legion treatment with enhanced ergonomics and premium components.
What Makes This Different
The Legion series represents SIG's premium tier with hand-selected components and specialized coatings. Unlike standard P226 models, the Legion SAO features a single-action trigger system that breaks consistently at 4.5 pounds with minimal overtravel. The Cerakote Elite Legion Gray finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard Nitron coatings, while the custom G-10 grips offer enhanced texture and moisture management.
Key Features
- Single-action trigger system with 4.5-pound break weight
- Optics-ready slide with removable rear sight plate
- 18-round steel magazine capacity with witness holes
- Legion Gray Cerakote Elite finish on slide and frame
- Custom G-10 grips with aggressive texturing

The SAO trigger mechanism eliminates the long double-action pull found in DA/SA variants, providing consistent shot placement for precision applications. Competition shooters benefit from the crisp trigger reset and reduced lock time, while the 18-round capacity maintains tactical relevance. The optics-ready configuration accepts popular red dot sights including Romeo1Pro, Trijicon RMR, and Holosun 507C series with appropriate adapter plates.
