Sig Sauer P226 X-Five Extreme | 9mm | 5 in | 226X5-9-XTM

The Sig Sauer P226 X-FIVE EXTREME is a full-size, optic-ready 9mm pistol built around a 5″ bull barrel and an XSeries SIG-LOC slide intended for stable, precision-oriented shooting. It ships with the AX3 single-action-only trigger system, custom Hogue G10 Piranha grips with integrated magwell, and three 20-round magazines for extended range sessions. For an optic under $1,000 that pairs well with the XSeries mounting system and a 5″ sight radius, consider a compact 1x red dot such as the Holosun 507C or a comparable low-profile reflex sight.

Applications: range-focused target work and precision training with single-action operation and target sights.
