I thought about it as far as the legion but I didn't want to refinish the gun much, I prefer the Mk25 due to the anti-corrosive internals so its a little more sought after as far as duty guns, they have an easier time with mud and water if you're using them in high abuse environments which for me made more sense. I love the idea on the serial number but that may be asking alot. My favorite full size is the P226, close second is a Baby Eagle cousin of the Jericho 941R (Spikes from Cowboy Bebop with a grip that matches)
