P220 Legion Carry SAO Is The Latest In SIG Sauer’s Legion Pistol Lineup
SIG Sauer has added to its Legion series of pistols with the limited edition P220 Legion Carry SAO in .45 ACP.
“The introduction of the P220 Legion Carry SAO is both a unique and exclusive opportunity and brings several firsts to the market for our Legion Series pistols,” said Tom Taylor, chief marketing officer and executive vice president, SIG Sauer, Inc.
“Most notably this is the first introduction of both a carry size pistol and the availability of a .45 caliber for a LEGION Series pistol. Additionally, this is a rare opportunity to either become a member of the exclusive SIG Sauer Legion or expand your collection as a current Legion member, due to the fact that this is a limited run pistol.”
P220 Legion Carry Comes With Night Sights
The SIG Sauer P220 Legion Carry SAO is a carry-size .45 caliber, single-action-only (SAO) hammer-fired pistol. It features a Legion Gray stainless steel slide and frame, with X-RAY3 Day/Night Sights, flat trigger and ambidextrous manual safety.
Legion enhancements include a solid steel guide rod, enhanced checkering on the front strap and under the trigger guard and front cocking serrations for easy slide operation.
The pistol comes with black G-10 checkered grips with Legion medallion inset on the grips, Legion chevron engraved on the slide. Three eight-round magazines are included with the pistol.
This carry-sized pistol features a 3.9 inch barrel, ½-inch shorter than a full-size P220.
By registering a SIG Sauer Legion Series pistol, owners become a part of the SIG Sauer Legion. This includes members-only access to free gear and premium merchandise, in addition to exclusive Legion member-only communications and events. As this is a limited edition model, only 500 will be offered for sale. To learn more about the SIG Sauer Legion, go to SIGSauer.com.
