I have had this pistol made in Germany for Years
It is marked P226s ,takes the 20 round Mags.I think its an X5
Any input is appreciated

Could be wrong, but I think that's one of the 1st gen X5 Allround judging by the flared out decocker and slide release.

Looks like one.

Now you have an excuse to get some Nills.

That’s one sweet piece

This looks like mine- Its 10,000 serial earlier and the seller says is a Mastershop X5 All Around
The box label is marked AR

Its remarkably similar if not. I'd say X5

It is indeed a P226 X5. First gen. In DA/SA.

The grips are mag well grips from a P226 Tacops model.

Yes that is an X5 Allround




They were available in 9MM, 357SIG and 40S&W

The one you have has had the grips and front sight changed since leaving the Factory

The grips look like what shipped on the TacOps and SCT pistols.



An Allround would have shipped with standard P226 flush fit magazines. Those are not X5 magazines. That looks like an aftermarket +3 or more base plate

OP, Nice pistol!

I just picked up a P226S with SN very close to the pistol in your post #1 (mine is U 904 341). Mine is 40 S&W with SAO and adjustable trigger. There was no mention of it being an X5 L1 pistol, but I assumed it was based on seeing many other X5 L1 listing for the older style.

One thing I noticed on the pics in post #1 and #5 and mine, is the "DE" marking. Mine has that on the frame, slide, and barrel as well.

Does anyone here know when this "DE" mark showed up?

The "DE" mark is not anywhere on my X5 L1 in 9mm with SN (U 717 908)

None of my x5's have the outer cardboard with labels.

Thanks

What colt_saa said.

lot_45, SIG Germany started marked their guns "DE" in about 2009. Yours is most likely the L1, unless previous owner had the Competition and put in the adjustable trigger system and the wood grips. Possible, but the latter scenario is less likely.

do you have the cardboard outer shell with label??

Thanks Everyone !!!

Hey Haris1,

What we have here (just as others have said) is… a 2013 X5 All around. I have one of it’s older cousins born in 2008. Below are some pics of the different looks I have gone thru… After taking it down to the bones, I discovered the frame had the jet funnel groves but the Nills did not have the cut to mount.

As it came (used). Previous owner upgraded to Nill grips and snagged two X5 extended mags.


Yes, it should have the flush fit mags but when I saw the look with just the extended mags, I decided to run with it but “for real” with the X5 jet funnel and correct grips to complete the look.

My first switch up was with black Hogues and black jet funnel


As she sits today with Nill grips and silver jet funnel


These are awesome guns and absolutely one of my favorites. Oh… and Q taught us all lesson about the DE. Mine being a 2008 does NOT have the DE.

Some beautiful pistols in this thread.

Is that my old gun? I remember selling it to a member on Sigforum and it was set up very similar.

Edit: Then again, it might not. Mine had Nills with standard head screws and not hex head.

A local shop had this priced like a normal 226. I gladly obliged them.

^^^That was a heck of a deal, I am sure. Some shops just don't know what they have.
