Owners of the P226 Legion SAO regard the single-action trigger as its defining attribute. Pull weight and reset are consistently described as crisp, and shooters transitioning from double-action platforms often comment that the SAO variant changes the feel of the P226 significantly in a positive direction. Accuracy at distance is a common talking point.

The G-10 grip panels and the Legion Gray finish get mixed reactions. Most owners appreciate the aggressive grip texture, particularly in wet conditions, but a few find the panels aggressive against the hand during extended sessions. The XRAY3 sights are broadly praised for visibility in low light without requiring a mounted optic.

Value is the area where opinions divide. The P226 Legion SAO carries a premium price, and some owners feel the cost is fully justified by the trigger and fit-and-finish. Others point out that the optics-ready cut and the 10-round restriction make it a less practical carry option at the price point, and prefer it as a range or competition pistol.
