Read the fine print to see applicable model number options to qualify for the free P365

Visit 208gunshop and you can get a discounted P226 Xfive with code ld15. I just bought their last Xfive legion and I can't wait for it. The Sig rebate for a free p365 makes this deal a no brainer.
Leaky_Pokkit@reddit
I got one from him too. Nice choice!
Various_Tart5736@reddit
Just saw your comment. I'm pretty sure the rebate will still be valid regardless of the price (as long as the gun is brand new of course). Have fun with it!

X5 Reserve is not part of this promotion?
B_E_Z_2_3@reddit
No it isn’t, I even called Sig and they said no go on the reserve.
Mkilbride@reddit
Lol..2200$ pistol. No way is that price justified.
Echo_Raptor@reddit
These are one of the nicest shooting pistols on the market. They are high though. I would rather run one strictly for competition than anything else below $3K, but if you’re not using it for that and want a range toy you would do better with a staccato or platypus that can double as a duty
Twee4@reddit
What makes a staccato or platypus better. Would this not be more suitable for duty? I woulda figured the 226 would be considered more reliable then a 2011
Echo_Raptor@reddit
Staccatos are built with duty in mind, some military and police carry them. You can get them in carry sizes, sand with staccato that runs Glock mags.
This is not a carry gun whatsoever. It’s massive and heavy.
itsmyfakeone@reddit
How can a 2011 be a duty pistol if it’s not drop safe? Genuine question idk s about f
Echo_Raptor@reddit
2011 is trademarked by staccato but any double stacked 9mm 1911 is monikered “2011”, as for them being duty pistols, they’re built to be competition or duty
BrokeShooter@reddit
But we don’t give a s about f. When people say 2011, we generally mean a double stacked 1911. You must be fun at parties
Ok_Form_2049@reddit
And not drop safe I might add
Echo_Raptor@reddit
You drop your gun that often huh?
I know the guntubers made a drop safe test with the staccato and it failed, and everybody on Reddit lost their mind but…1911s have never been drop safe guns. I wasn’t sure why this was a surprise to anybody then I remembered the lot of the gun community’s knowledge comes from call of duty and Civilian Tactical so it’s not a surprise.
19/2011s are designed to be half cocked or safety engaged and not one in the chamber cocked and ready, but whatever. I’m not sure how this went into “ackshullay what about the drop safety?”
If you’re worried about that stick with a Glock and learn the basics, really. Most don’t start out with enthusiast pistols anyways.
Ok_Form_2049@reddit
I see you’ve fallen victim to Stacatto’s marketing department as have many police departments.
I’ve been paid to carry to a gun for half of my life, I think I know what’s a good “duty” gun for every definition of duty in this context.
You obviously know more than me because you came at me from a position of authority.
It would not be hard for staccato to release a line of series 80 pistols which are drop safe.
Echo_Raptor@reddit
Glad we’re in agreement then
Fuckreddit696900@reddit
Yeah that fund could’ve been straight on Bul Armory or Platypus lol
ExceedinglyGayMoth@reddit
"Huge deal! Get two guns for the price of three!" Lmao
MonoTrauma@reddit
that's 18 bream action shotguns
PrincipleZ93@reddit
That's 21 hi points!
OregonTrailislife@reddit
The promotion says that the “value” of the p365 can be applied to another gun. I wonder what value they give you and how the redemption process works.
zenpoohbear@reddit
I would think it is the MSRP, so if you wanted to get something else that is cooler than a standard P365 it might be worth it, provided you wanted to drop over 2k on a 226 in the first place.
Twin-Turbos@reddit
Patiently waiting for one of you lunatics to find a X-Five for $1500.
Bobathaar@reddit
I paid $1670 for my x-five legion.. $1500 isn’t entirely unrealistic
greatthebob38@reddit
When and where?
Bobathaar@reddit
Forgot exactly where... some deal I looked up through gun(dot)deals aggregator maybe roundabouts a year ago.
Count_Warheit@reddit
Do the current P226s have any issues?
Echo_Raptor@reddit
Nope. Just as reliable as ever. None of sig’s current guns have any issues, the p320’s are polarizing and I get it, but they don’t just blow up for no good reason like the internet makes them out to be
loki301@reddit
I trust German Sigs, but not American ones. I’ll never trust a manufacturer that quietly and unofficially fixes people’s products and have controversy when there shouldn’t be any because its products are derivatives of an existing design.
Kerune403@reddit
Someone has mentioned the mag disconnect can fail, idk if that applies to all variants but they recommended removing it.
theoriginalharbinger@reddit
Other than the occasional finish issue, not really. Which isn't really a problem with the X5/X6 stuff, as the most popular SKU is all-stainless and also the custom shop usually (but not always) avoids screwing things up.
The issues with the P22x series guns have all been ironed out, the tool paths are pretty much the same. The US has been manufacturing all-stainless P22x guns now for over a decade. My dislike for SIG in this realm is their abject willingness to just add and remove SKU's with reckless abandon.
The X5/X6 replaces the old Sport guns from forever-ago. If you want an all-stainless P226, this is essentially the only way to get one now (P220's are available in all-stainless thanks to their use of 10mm).
Smitty_0313@reddit
No
Duo007@reddit
I'd honestly have more faith in the p2k series them any of the newer releases, the p226 is just a fucking tank too!
DakPresglock@reddit
Ive always wanted one. Anyone have a shadow 2 to compare it to?
theoriginalharbinger@reddit
This is more closely comparable to something like a Tanfo Elite Match (clone of a CZ-75, SAO) than a Shadow 2 (DASA). While you can get some really nice DASA triggers out of CZ/Tanfo guns, the SAO are better than some tuned 1911 triggers I've used.
That said, in competition, the X5 puts you in Limited, not Open, so be mindful of that.
Echo_Raptor@reddit
The shadow 2 is fantastic at the $1000ish it goes for. It’s DA/SA usually though. These are SAO, and they shoot mich nicer than a shadow 2 in my opinion.
MisterMurica1776@reddit
Might be a deal if they each came with like 10 mags and it was the new P365 Fuse
Xyes@reddit
If you actually want a P226-XFive (and how could you not after watching Bad Boys 4?) then this is an great deal. $2199.99 is MAP so most places aren't allowed to list it for less. I bought this model XFive from Deleons for just about $2,109 back in July after messaging them for a personal price.
AlexSandman8964@reddit
If it's P226 X-Five legion
TLewis24@reddit
one of the p365 skus is the X-ray sights /w optics ready, not bad
N64Seller@reddit
If interested, I highly recommend checking out 208 gunshop, who may or may not have very good deals on these with 'ld15'
Spear also
thelegendofcarrottop@reddit
This isn’t smack-talk… if I could justify adding either of these firearms to my collection, I’d go for this. It’s a pretty good deal for the right buyer.
Happy-Money-741@reddit
Kinda steep but kinda worth it
Pickensmd@reddit (OP)
Yeah, that was the cheapest P226 model I could find…so a bit mid…BUT ALSO…A FREE P365
Happy-Money-741@reddit
I think if I could return my P226 Legion, I’d have opted in for the X Five
