SIG Sauer P226 X-Five Supermatch Mastershop SAO 5″ (9×21 mm) – Final German Production, 2020
Built in the legendary—and now closed—Eckernförde Mastershop, this full-size X-Five Supermatch represents the last chapter of German-made P226 performance pistols. Hand-fitted stainless-steel slide, frame, and bull barrel come together for repeatable sub-2″ accuracy at 25 m, while the scarce 9 × 21 mm chambering and 2020 German proof marks place it firmly in the ultra-collectible tier for SIG enthusiasts.
Condition
• Overall: As-new with no evidence of use beyond factory testing and showroom handling.
• Bore: Mirror-bright, sharp lands and grooves—indistinguishable from new.
• Controls, finish & grips: Matte stainless surfaces are unmarred; black controls and layered G10 panels show zero wear.
Collectors looking for an untouched Mastershop gun will be hard-pressed to find one cleaner.
What’s Included
• SIG Sauer Mastershop cardboard box correctly labeled “P226 X-Five Supermatch 9x21 mm SAO vers.”
• Two polished stainless 19-rd magazines with aluminum base pads
• Factory 25 m test target
• X-Series operating manual & sight tools
• SIG High Definition gun grease tube
The straight, user-adjustable match trigger breaks at a crisp 2.2 lb and offers both shoe-position and over-travel adjustments—perfect for dialing in personal preference or rule-compliant pull weights. An ambidextrous frame-mounted safety, extended magazine catch, and sport takedown lever (doubling as a recoil-countering rest) add real-world practical speed without compromising the pistol’s elegant lines.
TR2 micrometer rear sights deliver click-adjustable elevation plus three lateral “memory” detents—ideal for quickly staging IPSC hold-offs. Up front, a drift-adjustable serrated blade keeps glare to a minimum. The integral jet-funnel and 19-round magazines make reloads virtually seamless, while a full Picatinny dust-cover rail is ready for weights or lights should your discipline allow them.
Why own this particular X-Five?
1. Rarity: Limited-edition final German run, discontinued when SIG shifted X-Series production and design direction.
2. Chambering: 9×21 mm factory configuration is seldom imported to the U.S., further narrowing available numbers.
3. Provenance: Hand-numbered CIP “N” proof and “DE20” date code verify its place among the last Mastershop builds.
4. Condition: Essentially factory-fresh—ideal for either a safe queen or a no-compromise match pistol.
If you’ve been waiting for a pristine, no-excuses example of the storied Mastershop P226 lineage, this Supermatch is ready to earn its place in your collection—or on the line.
