SIG Sauer P226 X-Five CO2 Pistol

Very realistic weight and feel. Good for plinking

co2 drains very fast, lasts only for 2-3 magazines

very realistic

I wish the CO2 cartridge went id gun instead of the magazine

Have Fun

This is by far the best BB Pistol I have ever purchased. It is accurate on weight and accuracy. They made it with quality metal and parts. Very strong and bold recoil (Blowback). The best CO2 chamber, mounted inside of the magazine, which all pistols 'should' have. That way, if something goes wrong with a CO2 leak or basic wear and tear, the whole pistol isn't affected. Just the magazine.

Nothing.

It is worth the $100. I would have paid more for this quality Pistol. And there are not a lot out there. If you like this pistol, you will also enjoy the Sig Sauer 'We The People' 1911, the Crosman GI 1911, and the Glock 17 Gen 3 Blowback pistol. All of them have close to the same CO2 design in their magazines. I can not stress enough to everyone that it makes a huge difference if the CO2 chamber is in the magazine. Simply better quality and longer life.

Decent accuracy when the pistol functions properly.

Inconsistent C02 discharge through the chamber and sluggish slide release.

I recommend the Sig Sauer 320 pellet pistol. More durable and reliable. IMO.

The look, weight and feel along with full drop-out magazines are nice as well as the lock back when empty.. other than that it's a total failure.

It's cheaply made, this is my second one and it's having the same issues as the first. The safety is basically non-functional, sure it will flip up and down but it will fire with it on and it really doesn't lock into place when on safe either.. We all know never to trust a safety anyway right? The slide will stay back due to the hammer touching the nozzle housing just a tad as to effect it operating smoothly. Cheap die-cast iron construction, paint comes off easily, and the nozzle housing screws are the weakest point of the whole thing.. If they would make it so those don't come out, this gun would almost be a great item. Keep in mind this is NOT a true Sig Sauer item, it's made by Cybergun, and I don't see why Sig allowed them to produce such rubbish. I'm sure the official X-Five pellet pistol performs excellently.

The two screws for the air nozzle housing don't stay in place. Even with thread lock they eventually break free due to the slide/action jarring them out of place. For my first gun I had a very hard time finding the cybergun company's contact info and had to pay way to much just for a couple little screws and the spring that works the air nozzle. I eventually sold the whole gun in parts with 2 magazines on ebay for less than what both magazines were worth. Pyramyd had a sale a couple months later that included an extra mag, 2500 Air Venturi bb's and a box of Dust Devils (which I never even used) so I figured I'd try the same gun again thinking I just got a defective unit for the first one, which was not the case. I've put less than 1/4 of the AV bb's thru the gun and it's already malfunctioning. Sure I've had it for awhile but haven't used it much, perhaps while reviewing this review they could contact me and hopefully make this right?

In closing, take it from me, don't buy this gun..

It looks real.

SIG Sauer should redesign the cartridge.

I bought this CO2 pistol on September 2018. I tried with two CO2 and love the gun. Then I put this pistol on the shelf until today. I put in a new CO2 cartridge, after the first shot, all the gas leaked. I tried another CO2 cartridge, same thing. I added Crosman Pellgun oil and tried another CO2 cartridge, no help. Now this pistol is an expensive paper weight.

Very accurate for the weight and feel. Excellent blowback. The sights were set accurately. Although it can only fire around 52 rounds before the co2 cartridge. But it is worth it. A solid pistol.

Nothing

You will have a lot of fun with this pistol. Excellent for training. I would recommend Black Diamond BBs and an extra magazine. Heck!! Get two!! You won't regret it.

The replica accuracy and the trigger reset.

Adjustable rear sights.

If you have the X-5 open, the adjustable rear sights are in the range to correct the impact point very well. I installed the mount rail of the X-5 open on the X-5 with a Feyachi 4-MOA red dot sight and it is perfect on target. A laser would do also. I have 40 rounds per CO2.

Realistic function of the gun.

Adjustable rear sight

I was disappointed at first, but I finally realized I had unrealistic expectations for this gun. I am used to shooting super tight groups at 10 yds with my Beeman P17 and initially felt the accuracy of this gun was lacking. This gun is NOT a 10 meter target pistol! I found some handgun training targets (my favorite is "Dot Torture") and started following the exercises from distances dictated for the centerfire counterparts (like 3-5 yds) and fell in love with this gun. I got a Sig paddle holster and have been working on my draw and ability to quickly put BBs into 2" circles. What a blast, and the reduced distance to target means I can shoot in my garage. Much nicer on cold dark nights.
