The Sig P226 DA trigger reach is just tto long for me. The SAO versions of the P226 work perfectly for me and this one looks amazing. Great video, Larry.
When I first attended the Sig Academy in 2012 (out of five advanced instructor level courses) I was able to buy the very first example of the then new and now discontinued P227. A P226 chambered in .45 auto. It fits all holsters that fit the P226. I used to have the MK25, so that was great. But having smallish hands, I had a similar issue with trigger reach. I solved that by installing a flat trigger from Gray. That also served to front load the pull with a very fast and short reset. That’s my dedicated ManCave gun mounting an OLIGHT BALDR PRO with 1350 lumens and a green laser. Works great for letting the dog into the fenced backyard when the Coyotes are howling nearby.
@vickers tactical Would you do a video on the USP and it's history and variants? You've talked about it before but I've never seen a video dedicated to it.
The P226 X5 and X6 are very popular guns for shooters here in Germany. When you can't own many guns you're more on the buy once cry once side. Also we can't do much more than shoot bullseye competion, plate racks, IPSC or PPC1500.
@@jaypee389 I have nothing against IPSC. I'm starting to compete in IPSC right now. I just wanted to say that you can't do more than taking your gun to the range, shoot an official discipline and go back home. I'd like to blast some trash or LARP in the desert without having to be subjected to so many rules or fearing to lose my right to own guns when I don't shoot the way my government allows me to. Things like "defensive" or "combat" shooting are illegal which means you can obly shoot at official paper targets, human silhouettes are illegal which is why our IPSC targets lack the b-zone. Also you can only have see through barricades and can't run while shooting.
@@ExSoldier762 that depends. You want to have cancer but be free to go to your doctors appointments and convalesce at home? Or do you want to do it from a federal prison after violating the NFA by not renewing his licenses like he should of done in the first place? The choice is his.
I bet he can't wait until people stop posting "Welcome back! Looking great!" It's been months. If you want to be such a people pleaser, focus on the content. That is what he wants.
What’s about the accuracy of the gun in shooting 25m. How are the groups there. I have aGerman X6 and X5 and they are really precise. US build is similar?
Incredible gun as always from Sig. I have the X5 Classic and the X5 Legion. These guns are incredible to shoot. Accuracy and speed of the guns is amazing. Ejection pattern is great. I also have the Staccato and the Sig's, for the $$ are more than equal to the Staccato which cost just about $1,000 more. The only issue I have had is with the Classic running 115 grain ammo, it doesn't lock back when mag is emptied every time. Now full disclosure I have 49 other Sig's soooooo,,,,,
Hi everyone: i bought a sig 226 x5 competition made in germany a few years back. It took me about 10 months to find one and the saleman told me it was probably the last one of it's kind in California. I think got lucky.
Larry, if you ever get to read this comment, please know that we in the 2A community wish you all the best in what you are going through in life right now. Wether it be health or otherwise. Your absence will impact your pupils and makes the 2A community a darker place for some time. I ask God to look over you, keep you safe and healthy so you can return home happily to your family. You have given your whole life and service to our great republic. Keep your head held high and shoulders back. You done nothing morally wrong for you are a political prisoner. I will pray for you during this most darkest time in your life. May God bless you and show you mercy.
To be honest USA made X5 is not a good investment. I am glad I am able to get my hand on a X5 and X6 made in Germany. USA made X series is just no match to Germany made.
@@KarlHensen in this case, you have to compare guns that cost the same. You cannot expect the same fit and finish from a $2k gun, compared to a $4k gun. The same way an Atlas 2011, made in the US will put your German X5 to shame.
I'd love to own a Sig but in almost all Australian states, you can only get a chopped down version. And in NSW, where I live, you can't get one at all. It's a shame really
What do you mean chopped down? Whether they're in stock or not is one thing, but cleaver firearms will definitely take your money for a few flavours of P226 X5
Take back your Country and your Freedom. Get involved in politics and vote out the ultraliberal socialists who want nothing more than to turn us all into compliant drones.
I hate that Sig have the finger to all of their european customers by not supplying the same range of grips available in the US. Glad to see CZ leaving them in the dirt.
They lost a lawsuit regarding the export of small arms into unstable regions (Mexico, Colombia) via the US without permission of the German authorities.
The sig "custom shop" has been disappointing. I like the designs they've come up with but they're still the quality of production guns, loose tolerances, nothing hand fit about them. I love sig, i just hope they tighten their quality up in the future.
Love the 226, but won't touch anything else modern SIG makes. QC is absolutely abismal... Now it's even slipping into their classic line. SIG went from near the top to below Taurus level in ten years. Id literally take a Taurus over a 320.
It's only a few hundered dollars more thant he P226 Optics ready Legion pistol :)) If someone wants their first -226....I;d look seriously at this gun or the Legion variant...not sure hwat he difference will be. Just a CereKote slide? Legion markings on the slide? Nifty coin? :))
God LOVED YOU so MUCH that He sent His only begotten son to die in YOUR PLACE so you won't have to die under Gods judgement but live forever IF you fully trust in Jesus, now that he's risen. Please repent. We all broke God's law, we sinned, but Jesus paid our fine. Romans 3:23, Revelations 21:8, Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-10, Romans 10:8-10. Put ur trust in Jesus now, the only way to heaven. a lot of religions say Jesus is a way, a good teacher, Jesus said he's the only way John 14:6 none of us are good Mark 10:17-27, but when we put our faith in Christ we pass from death to life John 5:24 John 11:25-26. We're clothed in his righteousness Isaiah 61:10-11 2 Corinthians 5:4 it's good to trust in him and not how we perceive things, he'll direct our paths, and it's also good to turn from evil n follow him too. Proverbs 3:5-10 2 Corinthians 5:7 Mark 8:34-38
Looking great Larry!
How does he look now?
Glad to see you looking well Larry.
Nice to see LAV doing well! What a cool guy.
I'm so glad you're back, sir.
Looking really good Larry! You will be an inspiration for many people!
Looking great, Larry.
It's great too see you back Larry.
I need me some X5 Goodness. Always good to see your videos, Larry.
I shot this last year at Sig Day! Great gun, trigger was perfect and your right, it’s a heavy gun!!! Glad to see you well Larry. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great to see a Vickers Tactical video after so long!
So glad you're posting again sir.
Wow, larry is looking better than ever! God bless.

Larry's starting to look like himself again. Great to see it.
God Bless You Larry. You are a good man. You are looking good and healthy Brother.
Yes yes yes happy to see you and your videos everytime
226 is a beautiful piece
Glad to see you looking strong! Nice firearm!
Larry glad to see you back!
Looking real good, Larry !!
A great video and pistol.
Great to see you Mr. Vickers !!! Regards from Guatemala.
Great One. Love it

I just got legion 226 really like it haven’t really found anything sig I haven’t liked thanks for showing that 👊
I recently bought one and it is a wonderful pistol.
i see you getting better and better day by day, well done! :D
Excellent review
Welcome back bro
Thank You sir 👍🇺🇸
Looking good LAV
You're looking great, Sarge!
@vickers tactical
Would you do a video on the USP and it's history and variants?
You've talked about it before but I've never seen a video dedicated to it.
The legend!
Looking 15 years younger Larry. great shape
Another great video thanks!
Beautiful pistol but I'm glad I still have my X5 Tactical from Germany.
She's old but still runs great.
Only Sig I own.
Having mine since 2007, the oldest Version without Rail. Had to decide between her and a 2011 Style like STI
The best
I like the X5 Legions I have a 320 X5 and that thing is hammer.

@hendrikg3616
Well at least you have a gun incase 7 million Russians, Koreans, and Chinese rush the Oder. 😁
@@jaypee389 I don't think they would go farther than the first ALDI or other supermarket they can find, lol.
@@hendrikg3616
😁😆
Good shooting tex.
Larry looking about back to normal thank God ! Glad you survived the cancer bud we love ya ❤
Only Sig I ever shot. Very nice, and very accurate. And pricey.
So glad you are back, Jesus is wonderful, love that sig, thanks 😊
This would look nice next to my 226 legion!
😊😊😊Nice to see you again. LAV!😊
Larry! Looking great. Can you give us a health update? Praying for you.
Not to mention a legal update. The people need to know the status of his legal troubles
Gotta be breathing to worry about the government. Cancer trumps everything.
@@ExSoldier762 that depends. You want to have cancer but be free to go to your doctors appointments and convalesce at home? Or do you want to do it from a federal prison after violating the NFA by not renewing his licenses like he should of done in the first place? The choice is his.
That's a sharp looking pistol. I may have to check one out.
Can we get a regular P226 with a optics cut slide?
I bet he can't wait until people stop posting "Welcome back! Looking great!" It's been months. If you want to be such a people pleaser, focus on the content. That is what he wants.
@C1ick_on_my_pr0file shut up bot
Larry inspires me
Make a full review about it

Larry- I know I'm outta date- but r u still holding training classes anywhere, through anyone?

Cool
Still looking lean and mean Larry!
Great gun but I don't like how the rear sight sits. It looks like it was an afterthought. But to make it optics ready it was the only way to do it.
Sweet
Guys please make a videos like inside the ak 47 . It's an incredible videos

How much cost it
To be honest USA made X5 is not a good investment. I am glad I am able to get my hand on a X5 and X6 made in Germany. USA made X series is just no match to Germany made.
No match in what, collector's value, you may have a point there I have seen tests, where the US ones proved to be the better shooters.
Accuracy is out of the equation since it involves human factors. The overall build quality and finishing.
@@KarlHensen in this case, you have to compare guns that cost the same. You cannot expect the same fit and finish from a $2k gun, compared to a $4k gun. The same way an Atlas 2011, made in the US will put your German X5 to shame.
Wow DID YOU LOOSE WEIGHT Larry..😀😀
Talk about Tisas 1911s
I'd love to own a Sig but in almost all Australian states, you can only get a chopped down version. And in NSW, where I live, you can't get one at all. It's a shame really
In VIC its the same gun, just restricted to 10 round mags

Real gun i love this gun
That's a nice-looking pistol but I have serious doubts it's as good as the German version.
Sig: "You're getting a premium"...😂
A premium...color?
Cz Shadow 2 over this all day, everyday.
I hate that Sig have the finger to all of their european customers by not supplying the same range of grips available in the US. Glad to see CZ leaving them in the dirt.
9mm only is a deal killer. Do they know what a 10mm is? I know it is a competition gun, which proves the 9mm is paper target/steel gun.
WHY DID SIG SAUER GERMANY SHUT DOWN,
Can't compete with HK for government contracts. And civilian sales aren't very profitable in Europe compared to the US.
THANKS@@leileijoker8465

It's only a few hundered dollars more thant he P226 Optics ready Legion pistol :)) If someone wants their first -226....I;d look seriously at this gun or the Legion variant...not sure hwat he difference will be. Just a CereKote slide? Legion markings on the slide? Nifty coin? :))
At that price, not a chance in hell.
Ничего особенного же снова.
I just don't personally understand why anyone would want a 9mm that weighs more than a full sized 1911. Also, what the hell is a "gas pedal" ?
🪖🫡🇺🇸
Hy sir can u used weapon Indonesian ss3
Better shoot 1.5 inch groups for $2600
Won’t shoot me right?
❤️Larry. 🤬🤮sig.
Wiw
Ya lost me at $2500
😂😂😂
Another "rushed to production" Sig product that the consumer will do the R&D for?
Hard pass!
Yep
Uncontrolled firing.
Sig overrated over priced
