Page 7 - SIG Sauer P226 X-Five Reviews

Arrived faster than it said it would, product very sturdy. Great quality

I wouldn't change a thing

you'll be very happy with the products, service and price.

All metal except grips perfect weight strong recoil fitts right in your hand

I would make the slide and the thumb safe less stiff

every 20-30 shot it might jam uses a lot of co2

As has been said before, there's nothing not to like about this gun. Full metal construction (besides the grip), blow-back, the slide locks back when empty, nice magazine design that holds the ammo and the CO2 cartridge. It feels good in the hand, just like a real firearm. Accuracy is excellent.

Nothing!

This is an extremely realistic CO2 pistol, both in feel and in looks. Accuracy is as good as your skill level. The blow-back feature will effect your accuracy until you learn to compensate for it. Take time to learn how to shoot it properly and it will prove to be very accurate. The magazine that I received with the gun leaked CO2, but Pyramyd Air quickly resolved the situation. I cannot say enough about how impressed I am with Pyramyd Air. I highly recommend dealing them and purchasing this pistol.

it was ok loved the gsg 92 lot better but all in all a good gun.

I like everything about this item, and, everythingelse about this entire company. This the first hobby website of mine that has every gun, that I could ever want. The guns are as close to the real thing, as it could get. The look, feel, and action is so realistic, that I constantly find myself just gazing at my new edition. I plan to order many other guns, from this company, and, I think that no one else comes close, period.

Nothing of what so ever.

Yes. That I intend on being a longtime customer.

What's not to like?!

Like someone else said, rubberized grips would be nice..I actually bought some rubberized grips that fit the real P226 but they didn't fit..oh well..so I'm out $20..whoopee.

This gun is so realistic and accurate that I want to buy the real one and get a CCW, but the price tag is a bit steep for someone who makes much less on the hour than the national average even working full time sooo..I guess I'll keep enjoying shooting this one : )

The gun has a really strong feel for replica, blow back action, weight and power. With over 1200+ shots with this gun and there were no problems at all and 100% accuracy. Full metal quality of this gun proved to be worthy for endurance and 50-55 shots for each CO2 every time. Trigger pull is heavy and it feels so good but the faster you shoot the more cO2 is lost so take normal shots to get a constant 50-55 shot for each co2 cartridge..

Nothing, wished the plastic grips were rubber. Very satisfied with my first blow back pistol. =)

Paint begins to wear off where metal friction rubs against each other. Should always oil the gun after 300 shots to keep the gun in good maintenance, don't over oil. Gun can scratch easily if dropped on floor or onto rough surface. I recommend buying the extra mag clip if you have extra money. Should also look into the gsg 92 gun but I think the p226 x5 is a much better replica and price than the gsg 92.

The look and feel are an incredible likeness to the real Sig X5 Tactical, I know since I own one. If you put the two side by side it would be difficult to tell them apart. The blow-back action is fun and makes it very much like the real thing for training. Accuracy was very good to excellent, although I've only tried it at fairly close range. The handling, weight, and trigger pull were excellent also, very similar to a real Sig 9mm SAO. It is extremely high on the fun factor, for that alone it's worth the drawbacks.

Loading - this was without a doubt the most difficult gun to load of any sort I've ever experienced, and I have tried my share. I had to create a speed loader since it was so frustrating, I was literally spilling more BB's than made it into the magazine. Trying to hold the spring back and holding the magazine at just the right angle, with a tiny hole to try and pour BB's into, was nearly impossible. Not recommended for children or adults without nerves of steel and the patience to match. A better C02 plug and piercing method is needed, the plastic plug that requires an allen wrench and careful skill not to over-tighten is not a good design, this isn't something new to C02 air pistols. It should come with an extra magazine, I'm afraid this one has too many moving parts and plastic in essential areas, not good.

It is a bit of a C02 hog, when they run down, they go instantly. I probably got 1/2 at best the amount of shots you get with the Walther PPK. Loading as I mentioned was an arduous task, someone has to come out with a real speed loader. Also the allen wrench C02 plug you have to screw in quickly but not too hard (or damage the O ring) that's made of plastic could definitely be a problem with much use or if you don't exercise care. I see why they include a spare plug.

Very realistic and top quality product. The accuracy is second to none for a CO2 BB pistol. This pistol is near my two topline pellet pistols in accuracy and that is saying a lot. It. Gets around 50-60 good shots on average from a CO2 Caplet depending on the ambient temperature. Love it.

Upon inserting a CO2 Caplet, be careful not to crossthread while tighenting the cap. It is easy to do. I found reversing the cap inserti can help. The only thing I found that is concern about this great pistol

If you want accuracy, reliability, and realistic top quality for the best price, this is the pistol the one you want. I wished it would have come out sooner. It would have been among my first purchases. Love it.

I really like & impress by this pistol. I like its Blade and Ramp front sight because it help more accurate shooting. The pistol is very powerful & has a very strong kick (Blow Back). Its long barrel & underneath railing gives a good option to user for a lot of different accessories: from laser sight to flashlights. Since this gun is so powerful, it uses a lot of CO2. For me after 2 to 3 rounds (36-54 BBs) the CO2 capsule needs to be replace.

Some mechanism to hold the BB spring loader down to help with easier loading. This is just a suggestion & in no way means that the pistol is not awesome!

The pistol top slider comes off for BAX Hop-Up adjustment. Listen to Pyramyd Air. This pistol Does not have BAX Hop-Up. Do not even try to adjust something that the gun DOES NOT have! SIG Sauer P226 X5 is just like a real gun.

metal, trigger, blowback, accurate

nothing

very accurate, just like real firearm.
