I have seen other all stainless sig pistols and the slide and frame have a slightly different finish. The fit and finish on the gun is very good. The 5 shot group measured 1.568 center to center. Sig tests their “duty” guns at 15 and their “sport” guns at 25. Most X5 targets are shot at 25m but the Short and Smart comes with one shot at 15m. Women don’t wear heels because they are the most comfortable or practical, they are sexy, and this pistol is sexy.Ī nice feature of the X5 pistols is that they come with a test target. Ultimately the short and smart isn’t ideal for any one use but it can do just about anything very well. It takes a little more work to find the correct sight heights but I like the lower profile of fixed sights. While adjustable sights are the most common type in competition I prefer fixed sights. The short and smart and the X5 tactical are the only x5 pistols that use fixed sights. Another aspect of the short and smart that sets it apart from the other x5 models is that is uses fixed sights. This may not appeal to everybody but it makes the 9mm very soft shooting. The short and smart is heavier than many other comparable competition pistols because of its steel frame (pistol weight listed as 43.5oz). The P226 sao is lighter and more suitable for carry with its lighter aluminum frame. The safety, grip, and slide release are all the same as far as use and location. The short and smart has an adjustable trigger while the P226 sao does not. I like this because I can train and shoot competitions with the short and smart and then carry a pistol that is exactly the same size and uses the same style trigger and controls. One area where the short and smart appealed to me is that it has a similar model in the standard sig line, the P226 sao. If the pistol did happen to be slightly over the magwell could be removed to make the weight limit.Īlthough the short and smart isn’t purpose built for any one competitive shooting division it does make up for it in other areas. I weighed mine and got an approximate weight of 40 ounces. Sig advertises the weight for the pistol at 43.5. For IDPA ESP the maximum pistol weight is 43 ounces. Their baseplates are also made to fit the mag well that comes with the short and smart. TRT tactical is one company I found that sales these baseplates. Aftermarket 18 round mecgar magazines are readily available and can be upgraded to 20 rounds with aftermarket baseplates. The short and smart comes with 19 round magazines. 40 is that it has a lower capacity than a comparable sti or similar pistol.

A complaint with the standard X5 which is available in. The pistol also only comes in 9mm which will make it shoot minor power factor. It is slightly handicapped because most purpose built guns for the divisions listed above will have 5” barrels compared to the short and smart’s 4.4” barrel. The pistol isn’t exactly ideal in most of these divisions but there is no reason it will not work very well. The short and smart is Legal in IDPA ESP, IPSC standard, USPSA Limited, 3 Gun, and steel challenge limited. It is also one of only two X5 models to use the standard external short extractor that is well proven in sig pistols. The short and smart uses a standard P226 length barrel and slide.

While looking further on the sig sauer website I found the P226 X Five Short and Smart. Even with the possible extractor fix I didn’t want to risk having an issue with a gun this expensive and it is not legal in all of the shooting sports. I also read that sig has made a change to the extractor so the problem may have been solved. The extraction problems seem to be contained to the 9mm model and do not affect the. I also read of several complaints of extraction problems with the 9mm version. A gunsmith can modify the gun by shortening and lightening it. There is no accuracy guarantee on the sig sauer website but there are many test targets available for viewing on the internet and they are all inside the 2” circle, many of them well under 2”.Īs I did more research on the X5 I found that it is a little too long and too heavy for some pistol competitions like IDPA. The X5 pistols ship with test targets that show 5 shots inside of a 2 inch circle.

Sig pistols have always had a reputation for accuracy and the X5 series is supposed to improve on this with the hand fitted barrels. On the sig sauer website it is just listed as the P226 Sig X5. When I saw the sig X5 series they really caught my eye. I have always admired the craftsmanship of custom 1911s but wanted a 9mm for competition because of the capacity and cheaper cost of ammo. I wanted a pistol that would be useful in competition but also practical.
