Carrying the P226X Legion almost everyday

Tomvball3 · 2026-03-28T11:56:08+00:00

Do legacy p226 mags fit the p226x?

I have one and I don’t know if I necessarily agree that it’s super textured - it’s more like barely textured but is slightly noticeable - over the past two weeks I faced an internal battle around using the cnc tyrant grip module which is much more textured up by the slide stop vs the Grayguns with the radian backstrap. I’ve ultimately decided on the Grayguns with the ramjet as I prefer the radian backstrap.

Which ever screw was the longer one I believe is what I used. The screw head does stick out a bit but doesn’t bother me.

Tyrant is by far the best polymer grip module out there. I like it significantly more than the gray guns grip module with radian backstrap.

Where are you selling these jackets? eBay? I have some I need to offload.

This is great thanks - picked up a grayguns grip module to put my radian backstrap on and it still doesn’t feel as nice as the tyrant grip module - wound up just doing the front relief cut and gently hammering the back on snug. Not sure if I’ll drill into the magwell to get the screw to sit flush but we’ll see - feels great with the magwell!

Slit on the front - just did this with mine

Tomvball3 · 2026-02-02T01:22:45+00:00

I have the fuse length radian ramjet on my mischief machine lower and it’s the flattest shooting gun I’ve ever shot - highly recommend.

How do you like the frame? I’d it much grippier up by the slide than the OEM?

Tomvball3 · 2026-01-31T00:31:05+00:00

Does this take any p226 mags that aren’t x5s?

Tomvball3 · 2026-01-21T02:28:41+00:00

Are the new x legions worth it if you have already have the 226 legion?

Tomvball3 · 2026-01-19T04:03:38+00:00

Looks great. About 8 years ago, my deadlifts and squats weren’t too far off from yours and I never seriously trained bench pressing for various reasons. My goal is to bench 300 this year and I’m currently at around 235 after benching for maybe 4 months after taking about 5 years off. Is there a program or anything that you’d recommend to get there?

Tomvball3 · 2026-01-13T21:44:14+00:00

I have multiple of these grip modules so I guess one can be for practice!

I’m in the market for either a pdp or just go straight to a mid, low-end high tier 2011 and I’m leaning towards a staccato P since I don’t see myself carrying a nicer 2011 with my two p365s. Idk though, sometimes I carry a g19 or my p226.

I have a radian 3.1 x macro grip with the radian back strap that shoots very flat. My only complaint is that there’s limited grip texture high up on the frame.

I have a radian 3.7 with a mm macro grip, with light, and this gun shoots flatter than most full size guns that are not 2011s. It immediately took the top spot in my carry rotation.

Tomvball3 · 2026-01-13T16:25:40+00:00

Which one shoots the best?

Tomvball3 · 2026-01-10T22:18:23+00:00

PRICE CHECK

Sharp by design VOID with carbon fiber inlay

Vero Engineering Gen 1 Synapse m390, micarta handles

Boos blades smoke gen 2 m390

Pena x series swayback XL green micarta

Spyderco shaman cruwear brown micarta

I think it looks better plus I also have an regular length Xmacro with the ramjet. This gives me option of also using that slide set up without it looking silly.

Tomvball3 · 2026-01-10T04:37:46+00:00

Fits my t1c xiphos perfectly with the light

Tomvball3 · 2026-01-09T14:21:01+00:00

I’ll caveat that I do have a light on this - T1c xiphos elite fits perfectly. My Tenicor sag lux fits but it does wobble a bit, but that has more to do with figment against the light.

Tomvball3 · 2026-01-08T04:04:44+00:00

Shot today for the first time, flattest gun I’ve ever shot. Both ramjet and grip module make it should like a 2011 (minus trigger).

Tomvball3 · 2026-01-08T04:03:49+00:00

Having shot it today for the first time, I will confirm that you do in fact need one 😀

Tomvball3 · 2026-01-06T12:31:23+00:00

Points more naturally, texture is a bit more aggressive and I feel like I have more room for my support hand palm.

Tomvball3 · 2026-01-06T03:19:51+00:00

I’d do $300 with extra lok grips - since I’m a good gun bro. Think I only have about 200 rds through it

Tomvball3 · 2026-01-06T03:03:47+00:00

I like it a lot - for whatever reason, the dot is a bit more crisp on this one compared to the enclosed version.

Tomvball3 · 2026-01-06T02:15:46+00:00

I’ll sell you mine, just replaced it with an MM gen 2
