Reduced price of X-Five class handguns of the Sig Sauer Company was practically a miracle, but this company can afford it by releasing

X-Press model but only on the U.S. market. Heavy, solidly made handgun with barrel of 5? and with great possibilities for sports shooters using caliber 9 mm to achieve maximum efficiency and with the price below 1600 Euro with such achieving not many companies can show off. And with exactly such a treatment again the Sig Sauer Company enters the market with its latest model of X-Series line.

As each model from X-Series range, this is younger and a bit bigger brother of P226 SL model, which was made of stainless steel. The new line of X-Five is offered in a few variants and each exceeds the price of 2500 Euro, so it is really quite puzzling the release of X-Press model from the same range, but with much lower price. How Sig Sauer X-Press has lowered its price?

In order to ensure the same quality level and materials, the Sig Sauer Company carried out a few efforts to reach the super price, and what makes us not happy, only the limited series, in addition available only in the U.S. market. From our point of view, X-Press model was created as the incentive and advertising tool for new X-Series line.

The first step to reduced price is simplification of the release system to standard used in P226 model. The next step includes sights fixed without setting. High-quality cladding grip in this line made of high quality fiberglass or wood have been replaced with standard plastic used in other models. Handmade elements fitted to each copy by specialized personnel in this model have been replaced by automatic production of MIM (Metal Injection Moulding). Next return spring, as a standard in this line was made from combining two types of wire replaced with the isolated version.

Moreover, the latest X-Press model is a dismantled of X-Series model, which without a problem we can take to the identical level of finishing, as better units. After all, since the frame and the entire lock are identical, the same as in better models, so fitting changes to the higher shelf won?t be a problem. 

And now the moment of real tests, whether this model meet all advertised achievements in more expensive models of X-Series line? And whether the replacement of all above mentioned parts has any impact on the quality and final effect on a shooting range? The good news for this model is as follows: a few dozen, different kinds of companies producing the ammunition and full range of bullets weight from 95 up to 147 grains including shooting more than 600 bullets, and not a single problem or jam in this weapon.

Summing up, they managed to create a superior unit at a great price and only few will have a chance to have this model.
