VALUE

With MSRP of $2,950 at this writing, the X-Six certainly isn’t cheap. However, perspective is necessary. We live in a world in which shooters are happy to pay $1800 to $3600 for a 1911 pistol that shoots as well as the X-Six. That level of accuracy, reliability, build quality and pride of ownership is absolutely present in the X-Six. It just doesn’t look like a 1911. Of course, nowhere is it written that a fine pistol needs to look like a 1911, either.

Though its frame rail will take a white light or light-and-laser unit, and a low-recoil 20-shot “built to last forever” 9mm would be a good thing to have for home defense, the super-light trigger pull in my view disqualifies the X-Six from that mission. I see it as a fun gun, a top-grade competition quality target pistol, and simply a fine specimen of gunmaking for any firearms aficionado to own.

It is significant that in the museum-like display section at SIG Academy, the X-Six and its predecessor the X-5 are displayed with that great old classic, the still-manufactured P210. Both are made in Europe, even now at a time when most SIG-Sauers are produced at the New Hampshire facility. Both have always been high-priced luxury machines which also are purpose-built high performance devices. A SIG is rather like a Leica camera in that respect.

The X-Six fits squarely within that corporate tradition. Yes, it is more expensive.

But, to the demanding connoisseur, it’s worth it.
