Sig P226 X5 Legion to try before I buy!

[drew]

Good morning my fellow NES members. Does anyone happen to have an Sig Sauer P226 X5 Legion that I can try before I buy one. I will obviously bring quality manufactured ammo and pay for you time and clean the gun afterwords.

Please let me know if anyone is available to assist me in this matter.

Just go up to Sig and shoot one at their range.

Handled one for the first time at CGW Weds while waiting for MIRCS to come back online, it’s VERY nice. Trigger pull and slide action is outstanding, had to put it down before I ended up making another purchase.

Second going to Sig...they have a brand new facility with a state of the art range and pro shop.

Yep, +1 for Sig in Epping. Better than running up some other unlucky bastard’s round count and multiple other pistols to rent and compare to it side by side.

Then take a class and get it for a discount.

Check the armory at MFS. They might have one to try.
I've had good luck there to try dozens of firearms

They (used to at least) give that discount to anyone who said they'd taken a class. At least in my experience.

There is one for sale here, could try asking him. If not the Sig Experience in Epping is awesome.

Good info so far everyone, thank you!
I get a discount being a certified instructor through them and through the NRA as well.

I want to make sure l really want one before I invest the money…..

Hmmm I had to show the code on the certificate to get it. Never heard that but would be great. It’s like 25%

Definitely a good deal. My experience was pre covid so maybe it’s changed. I did take multiple classes up there but only showed the certificate on the first purchase.

Cool. I’ve been there several times but didn’t realize they had a range you can try their stuff at.

Yes, it's totally awesome, here's my full report:

Thread 'Monday Fun Day at the Sig Performance Center in Epping, NH!'

Jan 21, 2025

What better way to celebrate the DOUBLE holiday [King Day (yo) and Inauguration Day (huzzah)] than traveling many miles from quiet Massachusetts to rowdy New Hampshah, buddy-dude-guy-ked?!?!?

Met my friend and we shot many pistols and a couple of rifles. The X-Five Legion is the balls. The MCX in 300 Blackout SILENCED was unreal (my first time shooting suppressed). The SRO helped me sight-in my red dot at 50 yards and it was an awesome learning experince (the MOA system and properly sighting-in to avoid wasting time and ammo/money). All-in-all… I can’t wait to go back!

Thank you everyone for your input. I was greatly appreciated. I am going to go with the X5 STAS.

It's hard to hate one of the best handguns ever made. Enjoy.

Just curious, how much did you pay for the X5 STAS? That's my dream gun.
