Sig Sauer X5

I had a 320. It couldn't reliably hit a sheet of a4 at 10ft and I had to aim about a foot high.
You can't strip them easily, if at all. Frequent feed problems, then the last straw was a co2 bulb that
refused to come out. Fortunately my local shop took it back.

I'm not sure if any of the current blowback pistols are any good, but I haven't tried all of them.

I've got a 320, the one gingernut above tried and we found it pretty accurate with a nice blow back, mag worked well and no probs extracting co2, maybe you had a duff one?

Had one of these for some time now. Good blowback on them, and very reliable. With a small red dot on, very accurate. Liked it so much, I bought a second as back up in case anything went wrong with it...nothing has

I've also got a 320, and I like it... pellets are a little more accurate than BB's. I did have a cylinder leak a few weeks ago, but I'm not sure whether I just didn't tighten it up enough... the last time I used it was fine.

My main gripe is the cost of spare mags... and they're only 20rnd, instead of the supplied 30rnd.

Cheers for input guys.
Bit the bullet and got one after a quick once over in the shop. My initial thoughts:

Heavy: love it, always expected air-pistols to be light and plastic feeling!!!
Blowback: real good kick.
Magazine: very easy to load, release is very quick and easy.
CO2: in the back of pistol handle, again, very easy to change out.

Got some match pellets but not had chance yet to put it to the aim test. The few shots I have had seem to fire low but not adjusted sights or even tried properly yet. Overall, very impressed!

That’s they way to do it
Let us know how you get on with it.

Been having a bit more time with the Sig Sauer X5. Loving it the more I use it.
Using RWS R10 Match pellets.
Feels a great quality pistol, well put together and so easy to use. So glad I did some homework and actually went and viewed/tried before buying.
Just been doing some back garden plinking more than anything but gonna get some targets and see what it's like for accuracy/aiming, will let you know!

Following this with interest.

For me the key thing, assuming it doesn’t continually jam, break, or fall apart, is does it shoot a reasonably decent group and can the sights be adjusted to put that group where it is aimed?
