Special Features
- The AX3 adjustable trigger lets the shooter independently set pull weight, over-travel, and trigger shoe length-of-pull without tools or a gunsmith, dialing the trigger to personal preference before the first competition stage.
- The 5-inch bushingless bull barrel locks directly into the slide, removing the barrel-bushing interface entirely and producing a tighter, more consistent lockup that is directly responsible for the X-Five's reputation as a factory-accurate target pistol.
- The Dawson-style adjustable rear sight plate removes from the dovetail to expose the PRO-cut optic mount, allowing direct installation of a ROMEO1PRO, ROMEO2, or DeltaPoint Pro footprint red dot with no machining or adapter required.
- Custom Hogue G10 Piranha grip panels provide a sharp, multi-directional texture that seats both hands firmly throughout the firing cycle, and G10 resists heat, moisture, and solvent that softens rubber and polymer grip materials over time.
- The integrated alloy magwell channels 20-round magazines cleanly into the grip during high-speed reloads, and it pairs specifically with the alloy base pads on the included magazines for a flush, rattle-free fit.
- SIG Custom Works hand-fits the action during production, producing a trigger and sear interface that standard P226 production models require aftermarket investment to replicate.
Practical Benefits
- The AX3 adjustable trigger means you compete with a pull weight and break point set to your standard, not adjusted around the factory default.
- The 46.2-ounce all-stainless platform produces noticeably less muzzle movement during fast strings compared to lighter alloy-frame pistols of the same barrel length, translating directly to tighter groups and faster splits on competition stages.
- Three included 20-round magazines with alloy base pads cover a full three-magazine competition loadout from day one, and the P226 magazine ecosystem provides broad factory and aftermarket capacity options.
- The PRO-cut optic-ready slide puts you one step from a direct-to-slide red dot installation when you are ready to move into Carry Optics or Limited Optics competition without any additional gunsmithing cost.
- Whether you compete in USPSA, shoot IDPA, or want the most capable precision 9mm that SIG produces, the P226 X-Five STAS puts Custom Works build quality, an adjustable competition trigger, and 20-round capacity into a single factory package.
The SIG Sauer P226 X-Five STAS (226X5-9-STAS) in 9mm is a proven platform for the serious competition shooter or precision enthusiast who demands a SIG Custom Works-built, fully adjustable single-action target pistol in an all-stainless configuration ready to compete from the first round fired.
