That is stellar Milos. What is the story on those sights?

 

Gorgeous gun! Love the grips. Can't resist a great SAO Sig. Would enjoy learning the history of this model, hadn't seen it before.

btw, 16 degrees is a pretty low air conditioning setting in your car! 🥶 Unless you're using Celsius for your car AC settings...

 

Love the grips.

Agreed!!

She is a beauty, Milos. Gotta love those 6" German Mastershop Sigs. Was it Gen II when Sig went with their own PPC sight like on my PPC Skeleton? I like the looks of the Aristocrat. Looking forward to more info and pics, thanks.

 

What makes Gen 1 X6 "PPC" models different from regular X6 is the rear Aristocrat sight. In addition to being fully adjustable for windage and elevation, it also has 3 fixed memory pre-sets for elevation.

This is helpful during competition when one encounters stages of a significance distance difference on the same day.


For example, they would set up one preset for 10-15y, the second for 20-15 y and the third one for 40-50y.......or some shooters also use these pre-sets for various types of ammo loads (bullet weight, powder type or amount - power factor etc.)

The Gen 2 PPC sight has 4 screws total. The Aristocrat sight is a bit more complex.

 

Yes, the Aristocrat uses a screw to select each of the three elevation choices, where as mine uses a lever to select them. Both types have the windage adjustment screw and the three individual elevation allen scews.

 

Very nice! I shot a lot of PPC years ago. The taller front sight and the preset rear allowed for a neck hold at 50 yards on a B27 target. We would use plumb bobs on the center neck to make sure our target was square and the bob centered on the x ring. At 50 those sights were adjusted for a sight picture where the front sight cut the neck. Much more of a precise hold sight picture than holding center mass at 50. Inevitably someone (including me) would forget to turn that rear sight and shoot a beautiful group just below the neck.

 

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing pics of yet another magnificent piece of art. 😊

 

I rarely have much envy or jealousy, but that just did it for me.🤪
