    I really can't tell any difference in trigger or function between all of them. They are all good.

    Nice. Headed to the Tulsa show in about a month and I'm sure I'll find several to pick from. Need to unload a couple M&Ps to pay for it!

    Fantastic idea!

    Going to use some sand bags to keep it from falling over? I imagine the wind will cause problems.

    This inspired me to do the same. Just made up the following paper target stand. Should hold (stapled to the wood uprights) a standard 18" wide cardboard USPSA Target. Didn't glue everything together - again to make it more portable. Assembles in less than 30 seconds.

    Here's the material list:

    1 - 1"x 2"x 8' - cut in half and ripped to 1 1/8" - fits nice and snug inside the PVC. Could go taller if needed.
    1 - 10' 1 1/4" PVC - Four 12" pieces (attached to Tee) and three 16" pieces (front piece & uprights)
    2 - 1 1/4" 90 Elbows
    2 - 1 1/4" Tees
    2 - 1 1/4" End Caps

    There was enough PVC remaining to add a cross piece on the back. I opted for end caps & no back piece - just to have one less piece to assemble. I'm sure adding it would be fine too. Just replace the end caps for elbows.

    Anyone have any advice on a long range scope? Looking something above 20x. Along the lines of 6-24 5-25. Possibly FFP $1000-1200 range give or take some either way.

    Great setup right there. I usually wedge cardboard backer into a dead tree, this is 800% classier.

    some and more and more and more and
    Vortex PST's are a pretty goodbye, I use a Burris XTR 5 x 25 x 50 FFP and Effen love it!!! The Burris is about $1000,the vortex a little bit less, like $800, But the burris does have 90 minutes of travel where as the vortex has 65 minutes of travel.
    Obviously, these are both tactical scopes, for a Hunting style,you would go a different direction

    Very impressed with the updated sights. The front site is easily acquirable in all lighting scenarios I've tested it in thus far and the rear sights make a correct site picture very simple.

    Also in love with the trigger. Clean and light break with a minuscule reset allow for some of the quickest follow up shots I'm able to produce.

    Nice purchase! The P226 legion SAO has the best factory trigger out there IMO.

    i just put those X-rays with a U rear sight on my p229, i am very pleased with them so far. Much faster target acquisition.

    I've yet to come across a factory trigger to make me disagree. I'm glad to hear it! I'm seriously considering buying the X-ray sights for my P220 as well.

    :rofl: That's how I ended up with very similar guns. The P226 and P220 only real difference (Aside from the legion upgrades) is in grip width.
