Mine too, he doesn't mention that the Legion has a milled from billet trigger with adjustable over or post travel. That's a plus for sure. Also, some of the features on the Legion were assigned prices, such as $80 for the additional milling work on the slide. Fair enough if you consider that it doesn't cost Sig that much for additional machine work already programmed in their CNC machines. But, if you like and wanted to add those features on a gun that didn't have them, it'll cost you a whole heck of a lot more than $80 to get the work done and then get it refinished.
Same thing, but to a lesser extent with the sights. Sig X-ray sights (almost the same as Trijicon HD's) are about the same cost, $129 or so. You could buy the P229 and replace the standard Sig night sights with the X-ray, but you will take a hit reselling the new sights you removed.
If you like the Legion's features (including that &*^% beaver tail) over a regular P229, I think for the money the Legion is a good deal. Maybe not a smoking good deal, but a fair increase in cost over a standard P229. You sure couldn't add the Legion's added features to a stock P229 for what the Legion costs over the P229.
I personally would not purchase a Legion, I might buy an X5 though. I prefer the legacy slide w/short extractor and no beaver . . . tail. One can purchase a used P229 40, DA/SA LE turn-in for $350 to $500 - condition varies widely and is typically reflected in price. I purchased a nice 2001 vintage with exceptionally low wear and no dings for $439. It couldn't have more than a couple of hundred rounds through it judging from barrel and rails.
Add SRT, and new HD's for $175. If the original sights are tritium, they will probably be dim. If too dim, you can get them relamped (think that may cost $75, or replace the sights to get the nicer HD or X-ray front sight. You'll end up with an excellent pistol for half the cost of a Legion, and one that is arguably built just as well or maybe better (depending on how you feel about vintage P229's).
I've made a number of improvements to my ex-LE P229, including adding post and pre-travel to original trigger, P-shim, and more. DA is 8.5 and SA 3.7 lbs. I like this gun so much I wouldn't trade it straight across for a brand new Legion - seriously, not even close. I guess my values are screwed up, huh?
