Description
Every so often, a firearm comes along that feels less like a weapon and more like a statement. The SIG Sauer P226 X-Five Vanity is exactly that, a pistol so rare and refined it borders on art. Only six examples were ever produced worldwide, and this one carries with it the unmistakable touch of Swiss luxury and German precision.
The Vanity was born from a collaboration between SIG Sauer and Vivian Mueller of Müller Murgenthal, the celebrated Swiss silversmith whose name alone is synonymous with elegance and craftsmanship. You can see his influence in the details — the gold inlay lettering across the slide, the balance of matte and polished finishes, the deliberate restraint that keeps the design powerful yet dignified. It’s refinement without excess, luxury with purpose.
The pistol comes housed in a custom wood case lined in blue silk, paired with a certificate and SIG factory letter verifying its authenticity and historical importance. It’s even featured in an official SIG publication, a rare honor that further cements its legacy.
And then there’s the character, the faint, honest wear on the slide and grips that remind you it’s lived, not just existed in a case. For many collectors, that’s not a flaw; it’s a signature. It tells the story of a pistol built to perfection, admired, and used with reverence.
The P226 X-Five Vanity represents the pinnacle of the Mastershop era, where engineering met art and function met form. For serious collectors, it’s more than a firearm. It’s proof that craftsmanship, when done right, transcends its purpose.
