Sig 226 x5 sport. A classic pistol, remastered.

If you are looking for the feel of a steel framed pistol, with the trigger of a tuned 2011, with corves of a Costco massage chair. The 226 X5 Sport is for you.

    So good to see a Sig guy in YT. The Glockies are everywhere and honestly makes me sick. A gun that is vintage 1980 still being their current platform in 2024...

    I've been saying it since I ran one of these... I prefer it to the Staccato. They certainly are in the same class of tool, high-end, production guns, but this one feels more special. Solid build quality, accurate, damn near perfect ergos, and dead nuts reliable. I agree with everything said in the review.

    I mentioned it on my 226 X5 legion review. And in my 226 SAO. It’s a very dumb placement for sure. But I also came up on 2011’s. So mag in and using the thumb for the slide release is normal for me.

    I like the lower bore axis and the 1911 trigger on the DWX more. BUT, parts for the DWX are not gonna be available for a loooooong time and their customer support seems to be terrible. The P226 is a proven to be reliable and durable too.
