If it's the same dimensions as the 1911, you can mount a UM3 rail and put a red dot up top.

I have 6 sigs X5, 229s Extreme, Scorpion and 226s all great guns. The air guns are a disaster - complete waste of money and I know I have bought 4 of their air guns and each time a complete waste of money. The problem is very simple they are not putting the time and effort into getting the gun right - I assume they consider them toys - but they have their brand on them so be careful. Each of mine has the same problem so it is clear they know what the problems are before I wrote this: 1) The belt feeding system jams, before the belt feeding system ( ( idiot alet: I actually bought three each time hoping each time they fixed the problem) the problem is the mag w the bbs and air cartridge as one - jammed every 3 shots. Just got the belt system is jamms every two shots. 2) The cycling of each shot burns tons of 02 not worth it. I think you get like maybe 50 shots per O2. They should spend their time making the gun fire without naming and more accurate forget the blow back clying. In short these guns DO NOT WORK. They must count on people wanting a replica.

I have several Sig pellet guns and have been happy with them over the year.

Well made. This pistol is up to usual Sig-Sauer standards I have come to expect. Especially valuable in a time when 9mm ammo is so expensive.

Waaay to heavy for comfortable use. Geez guys -lighten up a little. I would also like to see Sig include a snap-on orange tip for all of their air pistols so that the user has a chance of not getting shot by a LEO, since their pistols are exact replicas of actual guns. As a former LEO, I’ve come a half a trigger squeeze away from really shooting stupid people that were using replicas in public to point at me or other citizens.

The Sig Sauer X-5 is air pistol is quality built handgun. It feels & shoots very well for the novices practicing their skills on backyard targets. Repair or problems operating the gun has been never an issue as of yet.

Where to start? I guess my main complaint is that it's unusable because it constantly jams. EVERY magazine has multiple jams. Even with very high quality pellets. I keep a rod with the pistol at all times so I can slide the rod down the barrel and clear the jam. I like that it has adjustable sights but they are adjusted to the maximum adjustment so the rear sight is cranked all the way up and hanging way off to the right to get it to shoot straight. This makes me think that extreme adjustments of the sights is necessary to compensate for sloppy internal assembly. The trigger is very heavy. Even after it actuates the magazine belt. The CO2 loading is fantastic but who cares. I'm sure the food was great on the titanic. What kinda makes me mad is that I'm sure SIG knows this is a terrible product but they keep selling it. Just avoid this one.

Chose this model for the realism in both appearance and weight and the potential for add-on accessories with the rail. After purchasing, I started finding the negative reviews, talking about jamming etc. I'd even bought hollow tip pellets, making my concern for jamming even worse! I can't say I've given it the exhaustive test, but through two weeks and the first 450 shots, I haven't had a single jam. (Knock on wood - I'm hoping this review doesn't jinx me) 10/10 for realism, in any case, and frankly at this juncture 10/10 for shooting (even the mag mechanism, much complained about, has run smooth as a whistle... So far!) Highly recommended.

The mag capacity.. with Co2 it starts to drop off after one mag. But give it a minute and it comes right back. Its a very quiet pistol. I love the ability to adjust sights completely.. very rare in a Co2 pistol. And it works good.. nice clicks for each adjustment. I can keep it accurate out to 40ft.. after that, not so much.
Things I would have changed:The mag does have a tendency to jam.. Better design maybe..
What others should know:If you load the belt in the mag with lithium grease it works fine, and just stays smooth.. after about 2 months I had to work some more into the belt.. no jams after that.

Solid metal, heavy and feels very similar to the Sig X-Five. The CO2 cartridge loading system is the best I've seen and very easy to load perfectly every time. Adjustable sights (wish all pellet pistols had it). Not a squirrel killer, but a great backyard plinker.
Things I would have changed:1. The 20-round pellet magazine has 2 side holes near the top that make it difficult the rotate the chain to load it, they should just remove those two access holes and it would be better. 2. Once your CO2 gets down a bit (especially if you fire fast and the CO2 gets cold), the blowback action will intermittently fail to reset the trigger. 3. The safety is really stiff and hard to engage with your thumb, but is easy enough to release. Pelgun oil might fix this. 4. After firing 20 rounds, if I check the magazine, there will be a few stray intermittent rounds that didn't fire, but luckily haven't jammed in the barrel 5. I would prefer a version without the blowback and DAO to save CO2. I shoot 3 mags (60 rounds) and swap the CO2 6. I would like a decocker as there is no way to drop the hammer manually with CO2 in the gun unless the blowback fails as described in #2
What others should know:This is a plinker and its accurate at 20 yards for shooting tin cans or small airgun targets. I love the feel and the weight, versus cheaper co2 guns. For the money, its worth it. I also recommend using Alloy pellets to get higher FPS. As others will warn you, ONLY use Wadcutter/flat head ammo. Pointed/rounded ammo is problematic in this gun. I'm using H&N Match Green Pellets (TIN) with good results. The trigger rotates the mag and then fires, it DOES NOT feel like a regular trigger so as a trainer, it's limited in that respect. I recommend an Air Venturi pellet pen which helps speed up loading the magazine. Overall, its pretty much what I expected and I'm happy with my purchase.

Great looks. Very detailed and authentic weight. I purchased this gun primarily because of the adjustable sights. The sights look and function very well. The CO2 loading system is a nice addition and is very easy to use.
Things I would have changed:The trigger is the worst I have ever experienced in decades of hand-gunning. It is a two-stage process with the first stage used to rotate the belt magazine. This stage is predictable but very clunky. The second stage is very difficult to pull which results in poor accuracy. I bench tested this gun with 9 different high-quality pellets and could not get better than 2.5-3" groups at 21 feet. I think this is probably the result of the terrible trigger.
What others should know:Make sure to apply non-petroleum lubrication to the magazines (silicone) and use a probe to seat each pellet in the magazine belt. A slick is felt when the pellet is properly seated. However, if seated too much, a jam will result. Both of these things seem to go a long way toward eliminating jams with the magazine. Jams also are caused when too many shots are attempted and the CO2 gas is low resulting in a pellet stuck in the barrel. I think the X5 is a nice pistol but wish it was more accurate. I own 5 centerfire Sigs and have come to expect a lot from this company. The X5 just did not deliver. It is probably OK for tin-can busting at close range where accuracy is less important.

Adjustability and overall look of the sights. This is one of the main features that caused me to focus on the X5 over other Co2 pistols. I always want the point of impact to match my point of aim without having to employ Kentucky windage. The X5 provides this. The X5 has a unique way of allowing the Co2 cartridge to be installed that is much simpler than any other of the several pistols I own. The system is first-rate. I shot 5 magizines of RWS Hobby 7gr pellets at 7yds and constantly achieved 1.5-2" groups. I used this pellet because it has proven to be accurate in other Co2 guns I own and did not compare it to other pellet weights or manufactures' products. I thought this was very acceptable accuracy for a pistol of this type.
Things I would have changed:I find the weight of the pistol to be rather heavy. I actually believe it may be heavier than an actual center-fire version. I own several full-sized, large-caliber pistols and think the X5 may well be heavier. The trigger feel is rather unusual at best and is definitely a two-stage operation. The first stage is used to ratchet a pellet from the belt-fed magazine into position for the next shot and has a long crunchy feeling to it. Once the mag. is positioned, the final let-off is predictable and fairly crisp. I found that I had easily mastered the trigger's feel after only firing a couple of magazines.
What others should know:The magazine is an awkward thing to load, however, my experience with the mag. was simplified when I followed the suggestion of others to give the inside a good coat of oil and to use a suitable probe pusher to fully seat each pellet in the chain system. After doing these things I have not suffered any jams or stuck pellets which are things other X5 owners have complained about. Finally, I have used skateboard tape (just adhesive-backed sandpaper) on hanguns for years and found that adding a piece to the grip's backstrap greatly enhances the guns grip feel. My final comment is that this is a very interesting Co2 pistol and one that is a great deal of fun to shoot. I suggest that you purchase several additional magazines to be loaded at home before the shoot and have a wonderful day with it. It certainly has my recommendation.

The weight is really nice. Feels like the real thing.
Things I would have changed:The clip is kind of chincy.
What others should know:It is not very accurate. I'm not the only one that thinks that. I found out that a friend of mine in AZ bought the same gun a said it's no accurate at all. Wish he had told me before I waisted my money. Don't buy it.

the weight and feel. The way co2 is loaded is something all the manufactures should copy.
Things I would have changed:the slide can not be removed for internal cleaning and lube.
What others should know:keep the mag well oiled.

I recently purchased the X-Five and was testing different pellets. After about 200 rounds with no issue I used a different brand pellet and experienced a jam about 8 rounds into a magazine. The ONLY (and easy) way I found to fix the problem was a video online. What happens seems to be that a pellet is pushed partly out of the belt and now the gun won't fore and the magazine won't eject. At this point the jammed pellet needs to be pushed back into the belt. This is easily done with a wooden skewer or other small dowel. This seems to be an important tool for your bag. The first time this happens all you need to do is take the skewer and gently insert it into the barrel and gently push the pellet back into the belt. You can feel it click in and it will only need to be pushed a 1/4" or less. I now have a marked skewer for this purpose. Insert a loaded magazine and push the skewer in until it touches the pellet and then with a Sharpie mark the end of the barrel for a Jam reference.
Things I would have changed:I have done tests and the jamming issue seems to be a pellet issue. I have shot 8 different pellets of different weights in different magazines and found 2 that jam regularly. Both seem to be a little tighter fit when pushing into the belt. If you find a pellet you like and it doesn't seem to have jamming issues stick with it. Other than the jamming issue which seems quite common and now you know how to fix it, this seem to be an excellent gun.
What others should know:While I am still learning X-Five, I am keeping an extensive log on my opinions of the accuracy and jamming of different pellets and magazines and you should too until you settle into what your favorites are. I have also found I can get over 100 shots out of a CO2 cartridge just give it time to recover occasionally.

Got mine on 07 Feb 21. I like it. Feels good in my hand. The weight is very close to the powder burner. The adjustable rear sight allows you to shoot point of aim. Shooting POI is much more enjoyable than compensating all the time with some of the other replica handguns I have. Having read the negative points in other reviews I find that I'm very lucky getting a good example. I have not experienced any jams. I do seat the pellets in the belt mag. I am shooting N&N Excite Econ II .177 cal, 7.4 Grain, Wadcutters, Pyramyd # H&N Excite Econ II 4.5mm.... They are inexpensive and the accuracy is around 2.5 inches at 18 ft. offhand. They fit snug in the belt mag but not too tight. Just tight enough that they won't fall out when seating them and shooting. The trigger pull is a bit different in that the first stage is moving the belt mag to the let off point and just a bit more pressure will discharge the round.
Things I would have changed:A bit faster FPS.
What others should know:I don't have measuring equipment, but the weight of the trigger pull is not objectionable to me. Testing for gas leaks; it holds air for at least two days probably more, but I don't let it go beyond that. I have occasionally left a round in the mag, and I attribute this to short resetting the trigger. I have emptied a tin of 500 rounds with zero problems and started a second tin. I will be looking for a holster. Did I mention I like it? If you have small hands, you may want to consider another pistol. No sense being disappointed. The X5 is large. Always buy extra mags. I will be looking for a holster.

Realistic feel. Adjustable sights. Blowback feature good for firearms training.
Things I would have changed:Better accuracy. Slide lock back after last round. Double action for first round.
What others should know:I was reluctant to make this purchase because I read many views that the gun and the magazine were prone to jamming. I have shot hundreds of rounds through this gun so far with wadcutter pellets and have not encountered a single jam. I was also pleased that I can shoot over 60 rounds on a CO2 to capsule. With the blowback feature I was not expecting to get that many shots from a capsule was pleasantly surprised. Not a target gun by any means but a good trainer for firearms. The adjustable site is a huge feature I am very surprised that more replicas arent available with Adjustable sights.

I purchased a Sig X-5 air pistol, Sig pellets, and Sig CO@ cartridges.. I finally got around to shooting it. Out of the box the sights were off quite a bit. It took a while to get the sight dialed in and needed to be raised almost to the max height adjustment on the rear sight.. The pistol was pretty accurate once I got the sight correct. With a new CO2 cartridge the first 25 rounds work pretty good. After the first 25 the pellets, the pellet would not puncture an empty 2 plastic 2 liter coke bottle. Shooting more than 35 rounds with a single CO2 cartridge, sometimes the gun would jam. After I got the mag removed, there was a pellet cut in half causing the problem. I went thru 10 cartridges and the gun jammed 5 times. Always after 30/35 rounds. Never figured out what was causing the problem. If I changed CO2 cartridges after 30 rounds it seemed to work without issue. I was disappointed not being able to get 50 rounds on a single CO2.
