The Sig Sauer P226 X-Five Classic transforms competition shooting with precision-engineered features that deliver consistent sub-2-inch groups at 25 yards. This full-size 9mm pistol combines match-grade accuracy with the proven P226 platform trusted by professionals worldwide. Built specifically for competitive shooting disciplines, the X-Five Classic addresses the demands of USPSA, IPSC, and precision shooting sports.
What Makes This Different
The X-Five Classic features a 5-inch match barrel that extends sight radius by 20% compared to standard P226 models, significantly improving accuracy potential. The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance while maintaining precise tolerances shot after shot. Unlike polymer-framed competitors, the all-metal frame delivers consistent recoil management and eliminates flex during rapid-fire sequences. The serrated optic cut accommodates popular red dot sights without requiring additional machining.
