Description
Every collector knows the feeling, that quiet moment when you open the case and realize you’re looking at the end of an era. The SIG Sauer P226 X-Five Tactical Mastershop in Sand is exactly that. Built in Eckernförde, Germany, during the final production runs of the SIG Mastershop, this pistol represents the last breath of a tradition that blended German precision with true artisan craftsmanship.
The X-Five Tactical has always been known for its performance, balance, accuracy, reliability, but the Mastershop versions take it to another level entirely. Every component was hand-fitted, every surface finished to perfection. The result is a pistol that feels different the moment you rack the slide, smoother, tighter, deliberate. The sand-colored finish adds a refined, modern tone, pairing beautifully with the X-Five’s tactical lines. It’s elegant without being flashy, exactly what you’d expect from the Mastershop’s understated style.
These late-production examples are scarce, particularly in the U.S. market, where demand for authentic Mastershop pistols has surged since the facility’s closure. This one comes complete with its original box and paperwork, ensuring full provenance, the kind of completeness that collectors value just as much as condition.
For anyone who appreciates the craftsmanship that made the Mastershop legendary, the P226 X-Five Tactical in Sand is more than a firearm. It’s a benchmark, the culmination of everything that made SIG’s German pistols so revered.
