[QUOTE="MarcSpaz, post: 15787491, member: 183445"] Hey guys I'm looking for your opinion on something. I'm trying to get more accuracy out of my Sig Sauer handguns. I have a P226 Legion and a standard P226 with a short reset trigger and tritium night sights. Now, what started me down this path, which hopefully doesn't turn into a rabbit hole, is the performance of a $1,000 pistol compared to my $400 pistol. That $400 pistol being my 4th generation Glock g-17. I've done some target shooting at a friend of mine's private range, shooting targets that are 8 x 11 steel targets, at a hundred yards. My g-17 regularly puts more rounds on target then either one of my P226 pistols. At first I thought it was the cartridge, since my g-17 is a 9mm and my P226 standard is chambered in 40 Smith & Wesson. So I went out and bought a P226 Legion in 9mm. Unfortunately, even though the Legion is an amazing pistol, it's not even as accurate as my standard P226. So now I'm wondering where the problem lies and what I can do to improve accuracy. What got me thinking about this today is a range trip yesterday. At 10 yards, quick draw, rapid fire... my Glock was consistently shooting of 1.5 in groups. Same exercise with my standard P226 was yielding between 2.5 to 3 in groups and the P226 Legion was yielding 3+ inch groups. Now, understanding what I do about most self-defense situations, I have full confidence that all three will help get the job done for a majority of situations. However, it would be nice if I could carry either one of my Sig pistols and get roughly the same performance as my glock. While in most ambush situations, the distance will be 3 yards or less, it would be nice to know that if I need to engage the target at 50 or a hundred yards that I can do it in confidence. Right now my hit ratio with either one of the Sig pistols are way too low for me to have any significant confidence at distance. I think one of the biggest differences between the Sig pistols and the Glock pistol is the height of the bore axis above my hand. I know there is nothing I can do to fix that. That said, do any of you guys have any known processes or improvements that can be made to these pistols to improve accuracy? Or am I just stuck at the performance level that I'm at if I want to keep anything reliable... which is obviously way more important then fine-tuning the accuracy. It doesn't matter how accurate it is if I have to worry about run issues because the gun got a little dirt on it. [/QUOTE]
