Even with the possible extractor fix I didn’t want to risk having an issue with a gun this expensive and it is not legal in all of the shooting sports. I also read that sig has made a change to the extractor so the problem may have been solved. The extraction problems seem to be contained to the 9mm model and do not affect the. I also read of several complaints of extraction problems with the 9mm version.

A gunsmith can modify the gun by shortening and lightening it. There is no accuracy guarantee on the sig sauer website but there are many test targets available for viewing on the internet and they are all inside the 2” circle, many of them well under 2”.Īs I did more research on the X5 I found that it is a little too long and too heavy for some pistol competitions like IDPA.

An enhanced polished action with the SRT (Short-Reset Trigger) is augmented with a Grayguns, Inc. The DA/SA also features low profile decocking and slide catch levers to reduce the risk of snagging.

An X-Five undercut has been applied to the trigger guard, allowing for a higher grip and greater control.įront cocking serrations provide greater purchase for cycling the action, clearing the firearm, or conducting press checks. More aggressive front strap checkering and additional checkering under the trigger guard enhance the grip.

The Legion P226 is finished in Cerakote Elite Legion gray coating, custom G-10 grips with a Legion medallion, the SIG SAUER Electro-Optics X-RAY high visibility day/night sights comes with three magazines.
