I was the Special Weapons Coordinator at SIGARM/Sig Sauer back in the early 2000 and was in charge of these rifles. I also carried one on duty for a few years and by far the 55X series rifle is the best built and most reliable rifle I've ever fired
@@vedantmehra6970all the rifles used by the Swiss Army are still produced in Switzerland. So basically SG550 and SG553. I don't think they produce pistols anymore because we're gradually transitioning to Glocks.
I'm sitting here laughing at Colion skipping along and giggling as he rings that steel! I'm just as giddy about the SIG 553 as he is! It really is a great platform.
Yes, it's a little lumpy. But this has its origin, because Switzerland also operates in the mountains in winter and has to operate the weapon with gloves. The lumpy one is also the stable one. I was active as a special force in Switzerland for 10 years and we all have the sg55x platform. It is more accurate than other 5.56 rifles and can take a lot. I myself own ar10, ar15 and ak systems but my bugout lets get dirty weapon is a sig sg55x. It's heavy, but it never let me down. It's nice that you like it too 🤙
Yeah I kind of hate the 5 56/.223 round. Sadly with the AK round (7.62) becoming so expensive and harder to get it might pay to go back to 5.56 again. I like everything SIG but am now to poor to buy them now. I guess I have to be content with my four P 2__ series pistols with metal frames.
First movie, but not really the same one. Frank used a 552, not "553P" for the "well actually..." geeks out there. I think the only difference is barrel length. Not a Sig user myself so take my comment lightly. The assassin guys who destroy his home use the looong ones. @@Call_Me_Dragon

This video alone, apart from being superbly shot, edited, and scored, shows a level of passion, enthusiasm, and enjoyment that is rarely seen these days. Thank you and it was just flat out fun watching you shoot!
These first mag vids are top notch. Real, raw emotion, real reaction, input and assessment of the firearm. Please keep these coming. The Ruger 57 was my favorite so far.
Welcome to the club Colion! With regards to the 553, there are two types of people; those who have never fired one and those who can't get enough of one. You were the former and now you are the latter my friend.
You sir are a treasure of the metroplex! Every time I go to tdsa I keep an eye out for the g wagon! Keep putting out videos like this man been watching you for years now! Much love!
Always enjoy watching Colion's reviews, but this one was even more fun watching him like a kid on Christmas Morning with a new toy, giggling and running around with the Sig. Great review.
honestly i've always wanted a SigSauer SG553... i used to do alot of paintball and switched over to airsoft, and the SG553 was one of my best airsoft rifles, made of a very durable metal casing, and metal gearbox i had two of them.. never let me down. now that im grown I want the real thing, i've seen many people transition from airsoft to real firearms and its awesome. Thanks for the video Colion! i love seeing this thing in action!
Fun Fact about SIG Sauer: They have a large production facility in Schleswig Holstein which is the northernmost state of Germany that borders Denmark. There are roughly 750 miles between this facility and Switzerland.
@@bhoogvliet If you would drive 750km down south from the middle of Schleswig Holstein you would likely get to some northern region of Bavaria. Germany from north to south is more than 1000km.
This was a fun one to watch. I was already smitten with this gun and as soon as you say they go for $3,500-$5,000, I didn’t experience what one would intuitively think. Instead of it being a disappointment, I became even more interested. Good kit costs, and I have yet to regret paying high prices for good gear.
I ran my personal SG-552 SP for years as a primary duty weapon and loved it! I have always wanted to upgrade with a replacement to the SG-553 (and get a 551). My preference is for the welded on top rail with the diopter sights (love them!). B&T rails are a must for accessories. Granted, as you alluded to, a slick version just balances and handles like a dream, like an MP5 on steroids. I think Hogue has a grip with less of an aggressive angle that you would find beneficial. Magazines will crack in the top corners eventually with prolonged hard use, so you may want to get some more later down the road. Hands down better quality than any top tier AR. I will get one eventually. Enjoy - I am jealous! :)
In early 2000 I was on a multi jurisdictional Special Response Team. My agency used these as a patrol rifle and I was issued the select fire version, 3-shot burst was exceptional. We were issued P226DAK's for our sidearm - which I was able to purchase upon retirement. Wasn't allowed to purchase the 553 as when the dept. bought them we signed paperwork with SIG on no resale. Great comments Colion!
We had the 552 issued in with a P228 as sidearm. Can't tell you how much I loved the 552, wish I could buy one privately. As for the grip angle, it seems aggressive in normal stance but once you crouch down while still keeping sight picture as you'd do in CQB/clearing, for which these shorter barrel offshoots of the 551 platform are designed, your hand automatically tilts forward and the angle becomes perfect. Try it.
I appreciate you making and sharing videos for us California refugees to enjoy. Unfortunately it’s the only way we can enjoy firearms like the one in this video is by living vicariously through people like you. Thank you.
I have the old model 556’s in 556 and 7.62x39 and love them!!! They are the the best made and operating AK operating style systems made. And close on its heals is the IWI Galil. They are also extremely durable and reliable wile being very accurate.
Have to pass on the IWI Galil and the ACE. The Sig is best compared to the CZ Bren2, I have the Sig556, Galil and the CZ Bren2........ I'd grab the CZ for SHTF followed by the Sig. They bring the most bang for the buck to the party. lol
I still have my Sig 556 and I still love it. I upgraded my grip(work great with my smaller hands) as well as the stock. Its not that much heavier (go to the gym, and also get a good 2 point sling). People outfit AR's, while making them heavy and not complain.. Bought mine new back in 2006 and I'm not selling mine either. I like it as much as my AR's (Bushmasters, and Ruger SR 556). Those Swiss guns are actually better built than many AR's out there. I'll deal with a little extra weight for better reliability, and build quality. I would take this Swiss platform over an FN SCAR as well.
I have the Sig 556 variant in proper swiss furniture. It is one of my pride and joys of my collection. It'll never be a work horse but it is one of my favorites to just shoot
Man I've got an in-law with a Sig 556 that's similar to this, since the first time I shot it I wanted it. Smoothest .223 rifle I've ever shot, had the adjustable gas block so was kind of ahead of its time with so many rifles being suppressed now. I offered him $1,000 on the spot after shooting it. He won't let go of it. It's not even the SWAT model. Being an AK fanatic that also shoots a lot of ARs I fell in love with that thing! Now they are way over my budget...
Build it. Seriously cheaper to build these. Yeah, it won't be THAT gun, but it will be better. It will be YOURS and you can choose the parts YOU want from the get-go. Building is just better.
My dealer just ordered me one of these today, after a liiiiittle bit of encouragement. I was eyeing a couple of other potential candidates over the last week, and was even in a store buying some mags and ammo, when I got the text message “Sooooo…. You know how you told me you’d want a pistol version of the SBR I got in earlier this year? Guess what?” After seeing this video, you’re making me feel so much better about pulling the trigger. I love your videos, and love that no matter who I talk to about guns, and regardless whoever else we all watch on TH-cam or read in magazines or forums, the one commonality that seems to be unanimously quoted and viewed, is yours. Thanks for making all of these videos and for keeping us up to date on different platforms, gun laws, and being an overall entertaining and informative channel. Thanks again.
Whatever camera you guys used coupled with the great editing made the video SMOOOOTH! It was a great video from the jump but the editing brought it to another level!!
JDI firearms are the exclusive importer of the san swiss platform; they based out of frisco, TX. There's practically a waiting waiting list to get these from Switzerland. I ordered a couple 308 mags for the 751 sapr, and they literally got back to me 3 years later notifying me that they finally got them in.
I recently bought the STGW90 / P550. They only AR that I think compares is the HKMR556. They both shoot very well, and both are piston driven. A little heavy but still very high end. I also like Rolex diving watches.
@@55XSIG sure do, figure out who KAC ran to to help them with their gas block when their system was having issues running suppressed. That’s why Thumb runs JP parts like the silent capture spring system in his KAC and many others do so as well. That’s why Thumb nutted himself when he ran the SCR- 11 with cryo fitted parts. For those that know know KAC rides on its rep and you get much more quality for the money if you know where to look elsewhere to receive superior fit and finish and reliability for your money.
@@1vjbknife I enjoy my Sig Spear LT but it would serve as my truck gun for a reason as to keep the SCR-11 safe in the safe. DI guns are just more accurate tunable systems and the Spear can’t group like the SCR-11 but then again at 100 yards who cares about a .5 MOA versus a 1 MOA. That 1 moa is still great placement. The piston systems are certainly improving.
I think this is my favorite video of yours. You’re absolutely giddy. It’s awesome. Makes me wish I could shoot with you even more. Thanks for all the content!
I love the asthetics of the 553 with the plastic handguard but the pic rail is so much more useful. The problem is if even if you can get your hands on the rifle, magazines are hard to come by. Krebs Custom makes an aftermarket longer safety.
The first time I saw this weapon was in a videogame called M.A.G. for PS3. R-553 was the name of the weapon in the game & I love it. Battlefield 3 had it as well as SG553 & it was the weapon I most used. Hope someday I get to shoot one before I die.
Man... you're so much enjoying this gun, your enthusiasm is sparkling and makes me smile :) Guess I have to get my hands on one of these bad boys too. Thanks for the vid!
Hahaha like a kid in a candy store. I don't always like the weapons you review but I sure do appreciate your enthusiasm and giddyness when you shoot something that makes you happy we all get that way for sure
I dont know why people havent known about this. Its been in plenty of video games. it was in original counter strike. It was in some call of duties. And people were like "nah fam, gotta buy some bargain tier ar-15".
When I saw the SIG rifle (platform) on the cover of Dutch guns magazine named SAM in the late eighties, maybe early nineties I instantly fell in love, and still am in love with this platform. You sir, just expressed how I felt when I shot a SIG 556 like 12 years ago. I would be a happier person on earth if I could have one of these. Thank you !
Man, just when I decided on a M1A CQC as my tactical rifle you show me this. Now I have yet another platform added to my list of things I need in my life.
The "real" SIG Swiss guns are outstanding. Good looking, durable, smooth shooting. I'm very happy to see you reviewing the genuine imported article. Sig-Sauer's dumbed down American versions (Sig-Sauer 556/556 SWAT/P556), on the other hand, started out as quality firearms but later deteriorated to poorly built crap in my personal experience. I had an early 556P which was outstanding and a later 556, which shed its top rail due to QC issues that should never have left the factory. Sig-Sauer couldn't fix the issues with my 556 and thought a 400 Tread was a fair replacement. I sold the Tread and the 556P and haven't bought a Sig-Sauer since. I'd still just about kill to get my hands on that 553P.
The movie was Miami Vice !!! With Jaime Fox and Colin Farrell well at least for me and I had to have it! I just got approved for my Sig 553 machine gun! So excited to shot it and call it mine! My number 1 bucket list gun.
I have a select fire SIG SG550 (long version) which i have used in my military service. Such a good rifle. It never jammed once and is so smooth to shoot. You can easily hit 300m targets with just the iron sights.
2:07 does anyone know what fricking effect this is? I've seen it a couple times before. At first I thought maybe it was an arm with a camera attached to the gun (pic rail) with the software removing the arm from the video, like those 360 cameras do. But maybe it's just a software effect? Looks tight though
De Niro uses a Sig 551 in Ronin awesome movie. Shootingsight makes a great tool steel very crisp trigger, it made a big difference in my 551. Also Matt Kreutz in Germany has a spring and travel bushing kit that eliminates over travel and reduces pull weight. I shot High Power with my 551 it was competitive too for a production military rifle. Those clear mags allow really long OAL hand loads that can really bring out the accuracy in that 55x platform. Mine shoots 55gr Hornady ballistic tips 1 MOA no problem. It dents up brass like no other platform but it doesn’t rain hot cartridges on the person next to you either which is really nice.
Out of all the videos that I've seen you do and I have never seen you. This excited about anything in any video at the range whatever you over the top on this. I'm glad you're happy I hope you get one.😂😂😊😊

You know if something works well enough for you, there's nothing wrong with opting for what you love over something with 0.1% better performance.
One could argue that enjoying it so much would make you train with it more, thus make for a net positive of better output.

I love the asthetics of the 553 with the plastic handguard but the pic rail is so much more useful. The problem is if even if you can get your hands on the rifle, magazines are hard to come by. Krebs Custom makes an aftermarket longer safety.
I myself appreciated seeing you do a video on a rifle system that isn't readily available and rarely seen here in the U.S.
That looks like ridiculous fun!!!
I don't think I have ever seen such joy in any of your videos before. Definitely encouragement for getting one myself.
I've bought many guns and the main reason was aesthetics and absolute coolNESS!!
The pursuit of happiness. Your God given right 🇺🇸
Enter the CX4, PS90, RPK, Krink ect
I use to have one about 15 years ago. Thing was a beast. Hit hard times and my cousin still has it. Shot it about 6 months ago.
The first time I saw this weapon was in a videogame called M.A.G. for PS3. R-553 was the name of the weapon in the game & I love it. Battlefield 3 had it as well as SG553 & it was the weapon I most used. Hope someday I get to shoot one before I die.
I remember that game. I played it a lot as an undergraduate
Man... you're so much enjoying this gun, your enthusiasm is sparkling and makes me smile :)
Guess I have to get my hands on one of these bad boys too.
Thanks for the vid!
If I could only have one rifle? This is the one I would choose. Hands down. No question.
Hahaha like a kid in a candy store. I don't always like the weapons you review but I sure do appreciate your enthusiasm and giddyness when you shoot something that makes you happy we all get that way for sure
I regret like hell not getting one of these while they were inexpensive af compared to now if you can even find one . It legit is so sexy .
I dont know why people havent known about this. Its been in plenty of video games. it was in original counter strike. It was in some call of duties. And people were like "nah fam, gotta buy some bargain tier ar-15".
They have never been inexpensive. 😂 even the US made turd 556p was somewhat pricey.
When I saw the SIG rifle (platform) on the cover of Dutch guns magazine named SAM in the late eighties, maybe early nineties I instantly fell in love, and still am in love with this platform. You sir, just expressed how I felt when I shot a SIG 556 like 12 years ago. I would be a happier person on earth if I could have one of these. Thank you !
The older Sig 556R in 7.62x39 is just as much fun!)
I've had a We the people holster for About 5 years. Love it💯
But, Colion, tell us how you really feel about this firearm.
yeah the joy was apparent
UUuuUUUhHHH
The Sig 552 has been my unicorn for 15 years and unfortunately ill never own one. But i agree with you, they are gorgeous and very cool rifles.
I'm seeing a beefed up MP5 with AK elements in it.
I noticed the resemblance 👍 I'm an hk fan.
Absolutely. I had to turn in my MP5SD3, but this'll do....
LOVE the SG550. Such a dream gun.
Colion Noir Make 'Em Say 3:01
Man, just when I decided on a M1A CQC as my tactical rifle you show me this. Now I have yet another platform added to my list of things I need in my life.
I just love seeing this smart, handsome man! Pew, pew!
😒
I have never seen a person so happy. Thank you for the posting.
The "real" SIG Swiss guns are outstanding. Good looking, durable, smooth shooting. I'm very happy to see you reviewing the genuine imported article.
Sig-Sauer's dumbed down American versions (Sig-Sauer 556/556 SWAT/P556), on the other hand, started out as quality firearms but later deteriorated to poorly built crap in my personal experience. I had an early 556P which was outstanding and a later 556, which shed its top rail due to QC issues that should never have left the factory. Sig-Sauer couldn't fix the issues with my 556 and thought a 400 Tread was a fair replacement. I sold the Tread and the 556P and haven't bought a Sig-Sauer since.
I'd still just about kill to get my hands on that 553P.
The movie was Miami Vice !!! With Jaime Fox and Colin Farrell well at least for me and I had to have it! I just got approved for my Sig 553 machine gun! So excited to shot it and call it mine! My number 1 bucket list gun.
I have a select fire SIG SG550 (long version) which i have used in my military service. Such a good rifle. It never jammed once and is so smooth to shoot. You can easily hit 300m targets with just the iron sights.
one of the most aesthetically pleasing firearms in modern history IMO
Great gun.
Thank you Colion. Love your shows.
Mishaco has an in depth review of this gun. Good luck ever being able to afford one. 5k+
Its cool but not 5k cool
I am always geared in you keep me enthusiastic educated as a gun enthusiast 100%.
The sig platform is best expressed as the 20" variant. Its a killer 200~500 monster.
Owner of a modified Clasic 556. Great platform.
The first of the 500’s were built in the 1970’s and they are all great guns! They sell for $1500 to a few grand
Such a treat! Thanks for sharing the experience 🤙
2:07 does anyone know what fricking effect this is? I've seen it a couple times before. At first I thought maybe it was an arm with a camera attached to the gun (pic rail) with the software removing the arm from the video, like those 360 cameras do. But maybe it's just a software effect? Looks tight though
Pretty shure it is a blurred background and a cameraman walking with him.I agree it does look tight!
@@Cowboy_pilot I dunno, like it seems like the frame is "synced" with the movement of the gun. But yeah not sure.
@@clamum9648 I think it's a tracking effect where you point at something and make tge camera follow it exclusively.
De Niro uses a Sig 551 in Ronin awesome movie. Shootingsight makes a great tool steel very crisp trigger, it made a big difference in my 551. Also Matt Kreutz in Germany has a spring and travel bushing kit that eliminates over travel and reduces pull weight. I shot High Power with my 551 it was competitive too for a production military rifle. Those clear mags allow really long OAL hand loads that can really bring out the accuracy in that 55x platform. Mine shoots 55gr Hornady ballistic tips 1 MOA no problem. It dents up brass like no other platform but it doesn’t rain hot cartridges on the person next to you either which is really nice.
Back when Sig still made good guns.
This isn’t Sig USA. The Sig that makes the SG55X platform has nothing to do with Sig Sauer. The company’s name is now San Swiss.
@@357stoitch7 That makes so much sense.
Stumbled onto your channel by accident, loved the energy and presentation!
But tell us Colion, do you like the gun or not?
Out of all the videos that I've seen you do and I have never seen you. This excited about anything in any video at the range whatever you over the top on this. I'm glad you're happy I hope you get one.😂😂😊😊
anything but the 556. rolex is not special
Oh MAN. This this thing is IT!! I've been looking for a dope polymer AR style AK for SOOOO long!!
👍👍
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
You had way to much fun making this video. That's the joy of it. 👍
I need one. I love the Sig 551 series. Always have. First time I saw one was the Chevy Chase movie “Spies like us”
I love this rifle as well. Used in The Transporter and Bourne Identity. Always have. It’s like a CZ Scorpion with a little bit of HK UMP.
Awesome review 😊
Your enthusiasm makes me want to have one for myself
I'm just a fan of you putting out videos in long sleeves and gloves in that Waxahachie heat on a crushed asphalt range. You sir, are badass.
Colton, I have never seen you so giddy over any firearm like the way you are over the Sig 553P. That is are awesome firearm! Ken
