A 10 round magazine in a 5 inch X-Five means this one fits where the larger-capacity version can't.

SIG's Custom Works team tunes the X-Five. The pistol has a custom single-action trigger, which gives a short, light pull. Fiber optic sights stand out in bright light, and a DeltaPoint Pro optic mount lets you add a red dot. The listed weight is 2.89 pounds, which is a good number for soaking up recoil.

The long slide and barrel mean more sight radius, and that helps accuracy. Shooters in matches like the X-Five because it points naturally and holds a steady line through a string of shots. Since the magazine is 10 rounds, it suits state limits and some competition divisions. Check your rules and match book before you order. At the dealer counter, take a minute to run the slide, check the controls and look down the bore before you sign off.

A target pistol like this belongs at the range, though it can serve in the home too. It is a heavy, solid, easy-shooting pistol. It ships to a licensed dealer of your choice, where you complete the background check and pick it up.
