Whether it be for intense field training or competition, sport shooting has increased dramatically in recent years. As the sport has increased, so has the rate at which manufacturers around the globe are producing next-gen sport shooting pistols.
A big name in the sport shooting market is Sig Sauer and its XSERIES of pistols.
Sig refers to its XSERIES as more than just a group of handguns, but a “sport shooting system that can be tailored to any sport shooter’s skill level and shooting requirements.”
Built around a common frame and slide design, the new XSERIES provides greatly improved ergonomics and virtually unlimited possibilities for easily customizing and optimizing the performance to meet your specific needs. Common features to the line include an increased undercut for the beavertail and trigger guard, lowering the centerline of the barrel.
XSERIES pistols also feature an M1913 Picatinny accessory rail and a stainless steel frame and slide.
