How did you know what I wanted for Christmas?!?!? 😍
I can't WAIT to receive it! 😘

😀

 

whatever happened to that clown car german flag Xfive you posted about? Did I miss the updated coming out pics?

 

The 'rescue' of this (originally ugly...

The rescue is now completed on this German "P226 - X-Five MATCH" Now with a few Armory Craft bits: (Plus-2 Base Pad, Trigger Pull Reduction Kit, Sport Takedown Lever) She looks now like a brand new gun that just left the factory. This was a fun project that took only one evening of tinkering...

well done sir.

 

Hi Milos: Was the enhanced texturing done by german mastershop ? Any idea how many of these were produced?
Also, is San Swiss Arms the importer of the x5. Thanks for info !!

 

Yes, it's a factory enhancement, done at the MasterShop.

Limited priduction for about 1 year but actual numbers are not known. It was introduced at the 2019 IWA, first samples were seen for sale later in 2019 and they closed in 2020.

San Swiss does not import German X5/X6 guns. There is not much to import anymore, but I hear they could become a service center for existing guns

 

Anyone get as irritated as I do when dealers slap secondary stickers over the original factory one? As if there is only a single spot on the case or box where a sticker can be applied!

 

Honestly, as long as the description of the model and the serial number are clearly visible.....never even gave it a second thought.

That being said, perhaps I have seen too many of them, so that's why I do not care.

To me, the only reason the label is there, is to describe what is inside of the box and the serial number of the gun....and as long as I can see that, that's all I care about.

 

Any plans on making mods for american made x-five?

 

I case this question is aimed at Armory Craft (since it was the last reply before your question:
The answer is yes.

1) STAS- type TDL that will be compatible with all X5, X6, X-Short as well as regular P226 guns. Similar looks but a sligtly different shape that is more holster friendly. Wrapping up the production this week - then off to black nitride QPQ. ETA: - mid March

2) Threaded bull barrels for US as well as German X5s
3) Long/Competition compensator X5 Open style - ETA: April
4) Shorter (2 baffle) compensator - aimed more at recreational shooters - ETA: April
5) Also considering to do the optical bridge, similar to German X5-Open. However, things are bit more complicated since there is no recess at the bottom of the picatinny rail, like we see on German guns. We already have it drawn, including the new type attachment to the frame, but are simply too busy with other products that take a priority in manufacturing at this time..

 

New member and about to be a new P226 XFive owner on Friday.

Armory Craft, I was wondering if you all are also working on a SAO hammer too for the US XFive? I've read a ton on here and your website and was just wondering if you all have that in the works too....although it looks like you're incredibly busy with the new pistols. I'm looking forward to spending a paycheck with you all on misc. Sig P22X platform parts. Thanks sirs.

 

Milos, any pricing info on the STAS- type TDL ?

 

Because of the additional machined and hardened pin they will be a couple of bucks more than our traditional P226 or P320 Sport TDLs. Top image shows the raw prototype in steel before the black nitride treatment. The rest are CAD renderings, but you get an idea.

They are leaving the machine shop this FRI or MON and off to QPQ/Black Nitride. We expect to have them available between 13-17th of March.

There are some differences vs US X5 STAS and they are explained in the product description. More images can be seen here and one can also sign up for a notification when the website is updated:
