A German Mastershop-built SIG Sauer P226 X-Six in 9mm with selective gold finishing across the slide, controls, and trigger. Full-size competition configuration with cocobolo grips, cased with its factory test target.
Most P226 X-Six pistols leave the German Mastershop in plain stainless. This one came out wearing gold, and that is the whole point of the Violine. The name comes from the way the finish plays across the gun, the warm gold against bright satin stainless reading like the grain and varnish of a fine violin. It is a Mastershop build, and that line of SIG's German custom shop is closed now, which is part of why these keep climbing.
Underneath the dress, it is a proper X-Six. The frame and slide are stainless, the slide carries the extended X-Six configuration with the longer barrel and longer sight radius that precision shooters chase, and the single-action trigger is tuned the way SIG's Eckernförde shop tuned them. The slide is rollmarked SIG SAUER along the gold lower section, with X-SIX cut into the flat above. The right side reads 9mm Para, P226, and Made in Germany. An accessory rail runs the dust cover.
The gold work is selective and deliberate. Gold fills the slide serrations front and rear, the muzzle block, the beavertail, the hammer, the safety lever, the takedown lever, the magazine release, the trigger, and the grip screws. The satin stainless slide flats and the frame stay bright, so the gold has something to push against. The grips are figured cocobolo, checkered at the front for purchase and polished smooth across the panels, secured with gold screws. A stainless magazine basepad finishes the butt.
The package is complete in its factory SIG Sauer case with a competition magazine, the original test target, manual, lubricant, and tools. The test target is the document collectors want, since it ties this specific pistol back to the Mastershop bench where it was zeroed.
For a buyer who already respects what the X-Six does on paper, this is the version that also earns a spot in the display case.
