G'Day Nitro X and Happy New Year!

Mid 2016, I got in a new Sig 226 X-Five (9mm Para/9x19) for a customer.
John, they really are an exceedingly well made and finished pistol but as you say, you need to handle one first, as they are not for everybody (including myself).

Walther Q-9 is another nice option, along with the various current versions of the CZ 75.

Best Wishes to you all for 2017!
