I recently picked up a Sig 226 X-5 Legion. It is, without a doubt, the best shooting and feeling handgun I have ever put my hands on. I never thought I would say that about a non-1911. Everything about this gun just screams "fire away".
My wife and I ran over 500rds in our first session. I variety of everything from cheap blazer to top end Underwood and all of it ran flawlessly. Including some Buffalo Bore "Outdoorsman" which is a hard cast flat nose. It all ran flawlessly.
The ports and weight absolutely make it shoot flat. In my opinion is shoots better than the Staccato XC or XL that I had. The ergonomics are also amazing, the gun just feels perfect. I had average sized hands (wear a large glove) and have found 2011s to have too large a grip for me to shoot well. Not so with this Sig, it almost feels like the gun is holding onto you not the other way around. Also, the trigger guard is checkered front and bottom.
It also fit all my Sig 226 (railed) holsters which is convenient. The safety is very positive and feels just like a well fit 1911 safety. The gas pedal takedown pin works great and the mag release is quite large and easy to engage.
I added a Trijicon RMR and the newer Sig Xray rear sight. It comes with an adjustible, tritium rear sight btw.
I hope they make a carry sized version at some point.

. I have the older brother p220 legion in 10mm and it is the same! I handled the 226 L in the store a while back and still can't believe I had the willpower to not purchase one.
