sfinney Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 You can fit other sights - if you take a file to the sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillGarlandJr Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I recall reading on here that someone figured out where material can be removed from the base of the DPP so it will fit in the Romeo 1 dovetail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasdawg Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I have fitted a Vortex Viper that I had extra, to my P320 X5. I saw from a previous post where someone had done this and I tried it. It took about 15 mins filing on the rear corner and test fitting to get it to fit. I put a 1 degree shim under it just in case but may not need it. Will shoot it today and find out.

texasdawg Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) My first rounds thru my X5 have proved non-eventful. No problems feeding or ejecting my 130pf loads after cutting 7 coils off the recoil spring. The Vortex Viper ran great and stayed tight and did not lose zero. The trigger sucks, but I am used to shooting a Tanfo LimPro with a 2#SA/5#DA trigger. That is fixable and I think it will make a great backup gun. The weight balance difference is not very noticeable. I'm happy I bought it,,, Edited January 23, 2018 by texasdawg added difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasdawg Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I have read where someone threaded the stock spring off and wound another back on. I cut the "wings" off the end of mine and I am in the process of making another heavier one along with the purchase of different recoil springs.

Rolex Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 why not just buy a new GR- and then change out the 1911 style springs as need be- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk A DPP fits if you remove .05" from the front of the optic cut. You can do this with a file or I sent mine to L&M, he charged $35. You need 6-48 screws with a thread length of 15mm toequed to 25 in lbs (for the DPP). Dawson's .40" tall by .125" wide front co-witnesses with the DPP attached rear if that's something you want to do. Forgot to add, the adapter plate adds .155" in height, so you'd need a .555" tall front Edited January 24, 2018 by SCSU74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with a 13lb spring. It is spitting out my reloads fine. The stock recoil would not feed more than one reload without a stovepipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolex Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I went 13 also- with the tungsten guide rod- have shot this in 10 uspsa matches so far- no issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasdawg Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I turned a guide rod out of S.S. to fit 1911 recoil springs and ordered 11#, 12#, 13#, and 14# springs to tune the recoil with. I shoot 147gr xtremes at 905fps for my IDPA and USPSA loads out of my Tanfos. Will have to chrono these loads out of the X5,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Another option would be to file the material yourself. Make slow passes with a file until it fits. I'd check often and go slow. You only need to remove .05" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
