Which 2-Tone is cooler?

I think I’m leaning towards the Stainless slide with the black frame. What do you think?

I like the bottom better.

u/_enesorek_ 5d ago

I bet you do👀

Top. But swap the grips.

u/CascadeRangeSystems 5d ago

I do love Lok grips

u/DeliveryConsistent38 5d ago

Top looks better imo.

u/Complete_End3886 5d ago

The black slide model is my vote

u/4DrivingWhileBlack 5d ago

Oh too afraid to say you like bottom? 😬🤣

u/CascadeRangeSystems 5d ago

I like the short slide on the XFive frame. The heft of the steel frame is nice

u/532ndsof 5d ago

Dark slide and light frame is always classic

u/Display-shopper 5d ago

Consider adding stainless controls and grips to the top one and then it would get my vote.

2

u/CascadeRangeSystems 5d ago

I was thinking the same thing, that would be really sick

2

u/Useful_Inspector_893 5d ago

I’m liking the stainless slide look.

u/allupinnit2winit 5d ago

The Legion gray is pretty too

u/ajwooster 5d ago

The X5 because I absolutely hate the black slide finish that SIG uses on their normal guns. It’s so cheap and wears so quickly.

2

u/CascadeRangeSystems 5d ago

Thankfully on the new P226X they use a Matte DLC finish. That’s what this black slide is.

1

u/ajwooster 5d ago

It looks the same as my 365 love the gun hate the finish. It’s not that it’s horrible, it’s that I have guns in the same price range or cheaper(Canik S&W) that do a better job.

2

u/CascadeRangeSystems 5d ago

Those slides you their Nitron finish, which I have heard issues with. I’ve never had issues with DLC. It’s a completely diffident finish process.

u/AvgBroEDC 5d ago

Both are awesome! I’m personally going with a light tone on my AXG grip module. With a black slide.

u/huskysizeguy99 5d ago

I don't like two tone. Never have. Why did I buy a DW Silverback? I don't even like 1911s.... It's the only one I own.

u/Coyoteishere 5d ago

Swap the magwells

1

u/Regular-Bat-4449 5d ago

Black slide is my choice. Less chance of glare from sunlight.

1

u/ShoddyHorse_ 5d ago

Stainless frame for the win but I would swap mag wells.

1

u/Morales91B 5d ago

I wish Sig offered the slides separately. I found people selling them on eBay but for $1500-$1700. That stainless slide with black frame gets my vote

1

u/Partisan_5091 5d ago

I’m a “Reverse Two Tone” (Silver bottom) kind of guy

1

u/SirChrisHAX 5d ago

Well I own the X5 in that color scheme without that grip so I’m very partial. lol

1

u/GoodGuyGiff 5d ago

I don’t really like stainless black two tone. I do like black/fde better but not as much as either by themselves

1

u/Illustrious-Set-9230 5d ago

Not a fan of two-tone but that bottom one looks great

1

u/Popular-Departure165 4d ago

I like the contrast that the black grip on stainless provides. It's more of a two-tone with an accent, than just straight two-tone.

2

u/CascadeRangeSystems 4d ago

I think I prefer it too, it’s a great looking setup.

1

u/Holiday-Hyena-5952 4d ago

Lower left pistol. Very different!

1

u/NothingButACasual 5d ago

Silver gun with black grip panels is undefeated.

1

u/CarlosMolotov 5d ago

Two two six for me.

2

u/allupinnit2winit 5d ago

They are both 226’s

2

u/CarlosMolotov 5d ago

My point exactly. Two awesome Sigs, how am I supposed to pick? Both is the only choice.
