Owners of the P226 X-Five Extreme tend to treat it as a dedicated competition or range gun. The SAO trigger and bull barrel combination gets consistent praise for accuracy out of the box, and the XRAY3 sights draw specific mention as immediately usable without swapping hardware.

The Black Nitron stainless finish holds up well in regular rotation, though some owners note the full-size frame and bull barrel make it a range-specific pistol rather than an everyday carry option. The Hogue Piranha Grips earn mixed reviews, with some preferring aftermarket panels.

At its price point the P226 X-Five Extreme sits at the upper end of the production competition segment. Owners generally feel the fit and finish justify the cost, but the optic-ready cut without an included mount leaves some expecting more from the package.
