Description
The SIG Sauer P226 X-Five Facet is a rare expression of the Mastershop’s willingness to treat a precision pistol as a sculptural object. Produced in an ultra-limited run of just 25 examples worldwide, this model stands apart even among X-Five variants, blending competition-grade engineering with a distinctly architectural aesthetic.
What immediately defines the Facet is its striking geometric surface treatment. The slide and frame feature an angular, faceted pattern that plays with light and shadow, giving the pistol a stealth-like, almost crystalline presence. This is not decorative excess for its own sake; it is executed with the same restraint and precision that defines the X-Five lineage.
Chambered in 9mm, the pistol retains the mechanical integrity and balance expected of a full-size X-Five. Fit and finish are exemplary throughout, with crisp machining, clean edges, and a uniform tone that reinforces its purpose as a cohesive, intentional design rather than a collection of parts.
As expected of a Mastershop custom run, the major components are factory-matched, underscoring originality and completeness without drawing attention to individual markings. The pistol is accompanied by its original factory materials and documentation, reinforcing its provenance and limited status.
The P226 X-Five Facet is not simply rare; it is thoughtfully rare. Created for collectors who value subtlety, design discipline, and genuine scarcity, this is a Mastershop piece that rewards close inspection and long-term appreciation.
