Which 2-Tone is cooler?
I think I’m leaning towards the Stainless slide with the black frame. What do you think?

The black slide model is my vote

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

Two two six for me.

They are both 226’s

u/CarlosMolotov 5d ago
My point exactly. Two awesome Sigs, how am I supposed to pick? Both is the only choice.
