Sig X5 "Maple Leaf" Unboxing

[BillD]

Was on sale with a decent discount so ordered this a few days back; packed very nicely with lots of bubble wrap and boxes inside boxes. Looking forward to shooting it!

Waiting for me when I got home...

Free hat, nice touch

Finally...

Test target...

Awesome SAO trigger! Like I said, looking forward to shooting it!

Oh, Bill. You know you have to wear a feather boa when you shoot that thang.

 

[BillD]

Got one picked out buddy! Gonna borrow Joe's blue tights too LOL!

Needs a bit of cleaning, lot of oiling

 

[Trinimon]

Wow, who turned on the lights! Dang man, that shooter be bright 'n pimp'n! Congrats!

 

[BillD]

Thanks looking forward to some range time with it this weekend!

Signal red powder coat?

Signal red powder coat?

Sig just calls it "Red Ilaflon Coating", but yes it's bright lol

 

[gdawg]

Very neat. Congrats! With the Canadian theme, I like it better than the Golden Nugget that is for sure. Every pistol owner needs one blingy gun imo.
It will be a sweet shooter for sure.

 

[Jerry Champagne]

Dam she's bright!!! Nice shooter!

They had two, still one left - along with the $800 off price .

 

[BillD]

Stripped it down for cleaning, had a heavy coating of oil/grease. So a few more detail pics:

[jongun]

Holy smokes! ####s tight haha Gonna turn some heads at the range for sure.

 

[Butcherbill]

I'm not a fan of the color but I don't have to like it since it's not mine lol, it's a sig and it'll be a great one to shoot. I think those grips look awesome, enjoy!

 

[wayupnorth]

is this a new gun put out by sig or did this come out a while back?
ive never seen these before.

 

[BillD]

These came out a couple years back...I think! There are now no more new, German made X-5's, being manufactured for export at this point.
