The specifically crafted sequence is named the SIG Reserve Assortment, and the primary restricted version firearm within the assortment is the P226-XFive Reserve. In honor of the P226’s fortieth anniversary, SIG selected a facelift to class up the ageing icon and rework it right into a high-style efficiency handgun worthy of John Wick’s secure.

Fashion & Efficiency

The all-steel P226-XFive Reserve was designed to ship precision efficiency packaged with a flare of sophistication. The Reserve incorporates a premium high-gloss DLC polished body and slide. It is usually fitted with GridLOK grip panels and a flat-face set off, each having loved a high-polish day on the spa.

Whereas the P226-XFive Reserve is a manufacturing facility firearm, it’s a SIG Customized Works gun, and as such the set off breaks clear and crisp at slightly below 3 kilos with a really brief and tactile reset. In contrast to the unique, the Reserve is of a single-action solely set off selection and is 3-way adjustable for final personalization. Complimenting the distinctive set off work, the P226-XFive incorporates a frame-mounted ambidextrous security for cocked and locked carry, though let’s face it, do you actually plan on carrying this handgun?

To say the high-polish Grid-Loks present a singular and enticing aesthetic could also be an understatement, it might additionally overlook performance because the all-metal diamond-like checkering seems to offer a agency buy on the P226-XFive Reserve. Along with the aggressive grip floor, SIG added a left-side gasoline pedal in your assist hand thumb, options that assist tremendously relating to management and recoil mitigation.

The P226-XFive Reserve options built-in compensation on prime of the slide, simply ahead of the entrance sight. I’m wondering how a lot of a distinction this makes because the barrel just isn’t ported to match. In any occasion, I might guess the pistol isn’t screaming for compensation as this 9mm not solely comes with aggressive grips and a gasoline pedal however can also be a bit on the heavy facet.

Whereas the 4.4 inches barrel just isn’t threaded for a suppressor, which surprises me all issues thought of, the P226-XFive is fitted with SIG’s XRay3 day/evening three-dot suppressor-height sights that are windage and elevation adjustable. As a result of it’s 2024, the Reserve additionally comes optics-ready for the Delta Level Professional.

The P226-XFive Reserve is more likely to develop into a secure queen or showpiece quite than a carried firearm, particularly hid. This chonky beast ideas the scales at 48.1 ounces, unloaded. The pistol contains three 20-round metal magazines with alloy basepads. With one in all these loaded, we’re rapidly approaching the 4 kilos, to not point out the 6 inches in top, 8.6 inches in size and 1.7 inches in width. Personally, since I’ll shoot something earlier than even contemplating placing it in a show case, I can see it being a formidable competitors handgun.

Whereas the P226 has undergone a number of customizations through the years and fashions near the unique are nonetheless out there for buy, the P226-XFive Reserve reaches all-new heights with the platform. Constructed round luxurious styling and refined efficiency, this collectible has a predictably notable price ticket, with an MSRP of $2,700.
