I'd imagine the Legion with an actual trigger tune by Bruce Gray would be closer apples to apples, but the Brig Tac with some Wilson magic is just that: magic. I'm scheming on how to convince the wife that I NEED that Brig Tac. I mean I have to give it a home, plus this guy actually has a Blade Tech holster for the Brig Tac in stock, I could have the whole pistol outfitted and ready to go in one stop shop!
The reset on the tuned Brig Tac is longer in SA but the over all trigger is better, just as crisp as the Legion but lighter. There is no comparing the DA, even the standard Brig Tac was better but with some additional attention it's so much better than the Legion that it is not even a fair comparison.
The addition of front cocking serrations on the Brig Tac would be nice but the Beretta slide does taper towards the muzzle, I guess you could still perform a press check on the tapered portion but your fingers would be awfully close to the business end.
The sights on the Legion, while a neat idea, in practice for me are nothing special. The shop allowed me to take the Legion outside to see what the front sight did in direct sunlight, I had hoped it would get really bright like a fiber optic but that is not the case. A set of Trijicon HD's would be a far superior arrangement. The sights on the Brig Tac actually pick up better for me, although after shooting a set of Trijicon HD's on a PPS M2 I'd be tempted to change out the Brig Tac sights as well if the stock sights didn't shoot POA=POI.
