The "tan colored pillow theatre" presents...
Was bored and farting around with the camera, so figured I'd post
it.
Yes, this is about as close as one gets to sex condensed into the
form of a semiautomatic handgun. 50+ ounces of steel, 3.5lb ish
trigger, short reset, single action, sig reliability, etc.
Well, it's not quite -that- good.![[grin]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/041.gif "Grin [grin]")
But it drives tacks. Like, hit-a-small-gong @ 50 yards
every time kind of tacks. And it's one of the few guns that I
actually -LIKE- having a target type blade sight on, because the black
sights contrast nicely with the finish, so getting proper alignment is easy.
As much as I like the X-Five, its demise domestically is pretty much
written on the wall. The biggest problem with this gun is it's only
really useable in one format, and that is in .40 S+W, and really then only
in USPSA/IPSC Limited 10. (You can get higher cap mags for it, but it
won't hold nearly as much as say, a para S16.40 or the like). So
what we have here folks, is a gun without a purpouse. Some might
say "Bullseye!" but theres no optics mount, and .45 ACP pretty much
rules the roost for bullseye in america. I've used it to
shoot steel so far, in an event where theres no gun restriction. I'm sure
theres a few sports you could run it in, but not many.
The other problem is all the weird goodies (eg optics mounts, compensators,
etc... aren't being imported or made by SigSauer, which leaves it to the
realm of expensive custom gunsmithing.)
All that being said, would I buy one again if given another opportunity?
Hell yes. It's that good. But Why?
"Bang! DING! "
"Bang! DING! "
(repeat this until you run out of ammo).
The only guns that can top it accuracy wise (in 9mm) are
probably the P210 and the SW 952, and probably some custom
built guns. The thing locks up like a bank vault. If they only
built the domestic Sigs this way.... (this gun is full german proofed,
etc.).
