on the m11a1 vs. the 229 legion
I own a m11a1, it's one of my favorite sigs (own 6) most days I toss a coin between carrying a p320 or my m11, I let my friend shoot my m11, and he bought one, a few months later he bought a 229 legion, I told him, next time we're at the range, I want to shoot his legion
well I did and I loved it, and I want a legion(thinking either a 226 sao or a 220 sao, 45 legions are hitting shelves this year!) as for the controls, they are the same as what come on the 224

I'm thinking about putting the 224 controls on my m11, it already has night sights, I'm not a huge fan of the g10 grips (I use Hogue rugger grips) my m11 is dark earth, so im not going to undercut the frame, so for 40.00 I can have a poor mans legion (I'm not going to drop 325.00 for the grayguns trigger kit!)
so my opinion on the op's question, the 229 legion vs the 226 sao......carry the 226, and if it gets too heavy, or you think its too bulky, then id drop another 1100 on a new gun, but if it were me...I'd keep the 226 sao! I doubt you'll notice a weight difference
as for the srt trigger...well worth it! 4 of my sigs don't have it, and I'm thinking about converting them to it!
