Description
Sig took two of their best ideas, the competition-bred X-Five and the premium Legion series, and rolled them into one pistol. The P226 X-Five Legion is a full-size, single-action-only 9mm built around a 4.4 inch barrel and a stainless steel two-port slide with Sig's integrated expansion chamber, which vents gas to keep the muzzle planted during fast strings. Pair that with the tungsten-infused TXG grip panels that add weight right where you want it, and follow-up shots settle down noticeably quicker than a standard P226.
What Sets the P226 X-Five Legion Apart
The AX3 trigger is the headline feature here. It's a flat-faced, single-action trigger that adjusts three ways: pull weight, over-travel, and length of pull thanks to a removable shoe. Straight from the factory it breaks clean, and once you dial it in for your hand, it gets even better. The frame wears Cerakote Elite Legion Gray, carries an ambidextrous thumb safety with a generous shelf for your strong thumb, a flared magwell for quick reloads, and an oversized takedown lever that doubles as a gas pedal for your support hand. There's also a Picatinny rail up front if you want to hang a light on it.
ROMEO-X Sight and Backup Irons Included
No need to shop for an optic or hunt down mounting plates. The ROMEO-X reflex sight comes mounted from the factory, and suppressor-height XRAY3 day/night sights sit tall enough to co-witness through the window. If you ever pull the dot, the rear sight plate is removable and the irons are fully usable on their own.
Feeding the X-Five Legion
Sig ships this one with three 20-round magazines, which is a nice touch for a pistol clearly aimed at high round count days. Whether you're chasing steel, working on your splits, or just want the most refined P226 ever built, this is the top of the food chain for the platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the P226 X-Five Legion come with the red dot already installed?
Yes, the ROMEO-X reflex sight arrives mounted from the factory, so there's nothing to buy or fit before your first range trip. The suppressor-height XRAY3 sights are tall enough to co-witness through the optic window. If you ever remove the dot, the rear sight plate keeps the irons fully functional.
Is the trigger on the X-Five Legion adjustable?
It is, and that's one of the biggest draws of this pistol. The AX3 is a flat-faced single-action trigger that adjusts for pull weight, over-travel, and length of pull via a removable trigger shoe. Out of the box it's already one of the better factory triggers you'll find, and tuning it to your preference only takes a few minutes.
How is this different from a standard P226 Legion?
The X-Five Legion is single action only rather than DA/SA, and it adds a two-port slide with an integrated expansion chamber that vents gas to reduce muzzle rise. You also get the adjustable AX3 trigger, a flared magwell, tungsten-infused TXG grips, an ambidextrous thumb safety, and a factory-mounted ROMEO-X optic. It's built for the range and match circuit rather than duty carry.
How many magazines ship with the P226 X-Five Legion?
Sig includes three 20-round magazines with this model, one more than most pistols in this class. That gives you 60 rounds loaded and ready, which comes in handy for classes, matches, or long practice sessions.
