Between the XDm Elite and the Sig X5 Legion, which pistol would you choose if a brand new one of your choice was given to you completely free?

I'm guessing the sig is a 1911 style, so I'll have to go with the xdm!

I don't care how accurate a 1911 is the grip angle doesn't work for me. Sorry sig!

It is not a 1911, here is a picture of the Sig X5.

I thought the Legions were 1911s! It looks good, what's the calibers?

It's a 9mm

I dont know exactly why, but i have always been a sucker for sigs. Perhaps their European heritage. The German models are excellent. Classic lines lower bore axis and recoil. Yes, i know the XD's are Croatian. They just dont seem as refined.
However, I am not above being re-educated should Springfield find it in their interest.

Make it a 10mm, 40S&W or a 357Sig and it will have my attention!

Yeah, I wish the XDm Elite was made in a .40, but as it stands the SigX5 and the XDm Elite is only in a 9mm.

Legion is just a re-badging of the models after have been upgraded. Sig has or used to have at least a dozen variants for every pistol.

I would pick the XDm Elite. The ergonomics are great, the capacity out shines the X5, and the pistol shoots better than I do. I have used the XDm in competition and it always performs with out any malfunctions. And though it's made in Croatia, it's backed by Springfield. And there customer service in my experience has been phenomenal.
So now the Elite with flared magwell, and flat trigger just adds to my decision.

I have a Legion X5 and my god it is sweet shooting. I have two XDMs and as much as I love them, the x5 legion is on another level.

I haven't shot the X5, so your input is appreciated.

Understand the Legion X5 has a tungsten infused frame. This adds a bunch of weight to help control recoil. The thing is rock solid when shooting. The trigger is great for a production gun and you can get 21 round magazines for it.
But it costs 899 compared to an msrp of $600? for the xdm elite 5 inch model. Not an apple to apple comparison. Both great guns though.

Yes I agree Grifter, the XDm is much more affordable. So with in it's price range, the XDm is hard to beat.
