Sig Sauer Custom Works P226 X5 Reserve 9mm SAO 226X5-9-CW-RES

Some pistols are refined. Others are finished. The SIG Sauer P226 X5 Reserve exists at the absolute summit of the P226 lineage—a flagship, no-compromise expression of what happens when SIG Sauer’s most elite craftsmen are given free rein.

This example is brand new in box, unfired beyond factory validation, and represents the highest and latest iteration of the P226 X5 platform to date.

High Polish DLC — A Statement Finish

What immediately commands attention is the breathtaking High Polish DLC finish. Deep, mirror-like, and impossibly rich, this coating transforms the X5 Reserve into something far beyond a competition pistol. Under light, it shifts and gleams like liquid obsidian—luxurious, technical, and unmistakably premium. This is not merely cosmetic; DLC provides exceptional surface hardness and wear resistance, ensuring the pistol remains as striking years from now as it is today.

Built by Custom Works, Without Restraint

Hand-built by SIG Sauer Custom Works, the X5 Reserve features a single-action-only trigger system tuned for precision, delivering a clean, consistent break that rewards disciplined shooting. The all-steel frame and slide provide superb balance and recoil control, while the long sight radius and match-grade components make accuracy feel almost effortless.

Every interface—from the controls to the slide fit—reflects obsessive attention to detail. This is a pistol that feels dense with intent, engineered to perform at the highest level while radiating mechanical elegance.

The X5 Reserve ships complete in a custom-fit Negrini hard case, underscoring its status as a premier collector and shooter piece. Included are three 20-round magazines, completing a package that is as functional as it is luxurious.

The P226 X5 Reserve is not simply another variant—it is a culmination. It represents decades of refinement applied to one of the most respected service pistol platforms in history, elevated into a modern, bespoke masterpiece. For SIG Sauer Custom Works collectors, this model sits squarely at the top of the hierarchy. For discerning shooters, it offers competition-grade performance wrapped in a finish rarely seen outside of true flagship firearms.

Whether acquired as the crown jewel of a SIG collection or as an ultra-high-end range and competition pistol, the P226 X5 Reserve delivers presence, performance, and prestige in equal measure.
