I had the opportunity to shoot an X-5 L1 the other day, and after getting used to the trigger weight, I was able to shoot 2.5" groups at 25 yards freehand. Needless to say I was sold!
So I started looking into it, and I'm trying to decide on the level 1 or competition models. From what I can tell, the only difference is that trigger weight on the L1 is adjustable from 2-4 lbs, where on the competition model its set to 4.5 lbs. The L1 also offers a length of pull adjustment of 10mm, and an over-travel adjustment. Everything else seems to be the same.
So, is the additional customizable trigger the L1 offers worth the extra $800 or so, and also worth waiting for one to become available, or should I just get the competition model? I don't plan on joining the IDPA anytime soon, so this will be used primarily for target shooting and bringing my shooting skills to the next level.
Also, every couple thousand rounds I completely disassemble my pistols, and clean and lube each part individually. Is the disassembly of an X-five any different than a standard Sig pistol? If so, what should I be aware of before disassembly? Any extra springs or parts that can escape accidentally?
Thanks much!
