[P320 X5 Thread]

Thanks for the feedback guys, I've deep cleaned the channel and I'm headed out Saturday to test. I'll keep you posted.

Are you seeing high primers?  That could be one cause, especially on a 650 if the upstroke is not completed correctly.  Possibly something to check for if you are not already checking for them.

 

The only time I have had issue is when lube got onto my striker assembly unknowingly.  I make sure I use electrical cleaner to clean the striker assembly and the channel the striker assembly is installed into.  I then take dry air to make sure all of the electrical cleaner has dried before reassembly of the striker assembly.   I have yet to need to replace any parts of my striker assembly.  

 

Thank you for the suggestion, I'm watching it pretty closely now and have adjusted the press so that I can prime slighter deeper. Unfortunately, I'm still having the issue. Currently I've only had this issue with Remington primers. I just got some Winchester Small Rifle and CCI Small Pistol primers that I'm hoping to test out this weekend. 

[P320 X5 Thread]

Hey guys, I'm hoping you may be able to help. I've been having light primer strikes with my X5 (not Legion) something terrible. It's happening about 2-3 per 100 rounds. I currently have the Gray Guns competition trigger system in, but I installed an extra power striker spring and I'm still dealing with the issue. I'm reloading with a 650, Remington primers, and my primer depth is about .005" below the case head. Now, I am dryfiring almost 2 hours a day, so I'm not sure how much wear and tear that could cause with other components. Any thoughts? 

[Will the COVID epidemic improve the shooting sports]

Had my first match of the year two weeks ago and definitely improved. Overall gun handling was better, hits were better, and speed was slightly better. Imagine that, focused dry-fire makes a difference in a match. Who knew?

I've been using 120 bayou  .358 dia. And precision swagged 125gr in .358.

With e3 or wst at 132 pf.

Also some sport pistol at 132. But on 2to3 lbs of that so far.

Thanks JCC. I'll switch over to WST, I keep hearing good things about it. 

[Sig P320 X5 Case Separation and Extractor Loss]

I know I'm reviving an old thread here as well. But I just had a case blowout this afternoon. Extractor's gone somewhere. For you X5 users, what powder and bullet set-up are you using to keep pressures low?

Any replacement grip module is allowed if it meets the criteria in 21.4.

Awesome, thanks Nick

[P320 Grip Module Change]

Hey guys, figured it would make sense to revive an old thread instead of bringing up a new one. Are some of the new grip modules that are on the market legal for Production/CO? I'm specifically looking at the Polymer 80 version. I doesn't look like it adds an additional magwell like the Wilson Combat does. Thoughts?

[Happy Birthday BE]

Happy Birthday Brian! These forums helped launch me into the sport I love, a career transition, and a lot of new friends. Thank you!

[What do you use to touch up scratches in your AR Receivers?]

I can vouch for the Birchwood Casey stuff too. Works great for the little stuff. 

[Will the COVID epidemic improve the shooting sports]

For me, this time has been very beneficial. Since I'm now working from home I don't have to cram my dry fire in all at once in the evening after the kids are in bed, I can break it up in random 15 minutes sessions during the day. I'm finding this is definitely more productive and I can stay focused on certain areas better. 

[New 59oz weight limit for Carry Optics, what’s the big difference it will make?]

That's a freaking genius idea. I have some LEO friends that would be very into that. 

[Help needed with XL650 conversion install]

This is awesome, I've been cleaning out the gun room the last few weeks (corona) and I had left this problem on my reloading press some years ago. Thanks for fixing an issue I didn't remember I even had. 

[What pistol do you carry for self defense (vs the one you compete with)?]

Compete with an X5 and just got a new 365XL. It's close enough to what I'm used to training with, but not quite as large. I had a Glock 19, but I just hated the trigger so much.

[New 59oz weight limit for Carry Optics, what’s the big difference it will make?]

I think this change is really interesting. It seems to widen the gap further between some of the poly guns steel frame da/sa's. The Sig Legion seems to be the only gun that crosses the barrier (that I can think of). It'll be interesting to see what kind of adjustments people start making in order to bring the weight of their gun up. Things like internal frame weights, tungsten barrels, and other random craziness. 

[Overshooting A zone on transitions]

*Mind Blown* -- My shoulder is sore as all heck after practicing transitions yesterday. Thank you VERY much for helping out with this all, and especially CHA-LEE.

[Overshooting A zone on transitions]

After re-reading my post, I didn't word it very well. I do what you suggest Joe, but I'm wondering on the closer targets is there a way to train myself to stop on the A zone instead blowing right over it and then having to swing back? 

[Overshooting A zone on transitions]

Hey Guys, 

 

I'm noticing that I'm pushing the dot past the A zone on nearly all of my transitions. On narrow transitions I "swing" the gun from one target to the next, while on wide transitions I tend to pull my arms in closer to the body and then push back out as I get on the second target. How do I correct this? Do I just slow down and make it a conscious effort to not overshoot? Thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

[Max Michel class - trying to go to one]

Reach out via Facebook. That seems to work well. 

[G19 Gen 4 Carry optics]

Howdy, I'm running the Glockstore tungsten guide rod setup which comes with the factory springs, plus the Zev 4# striker spring. I've had no issues at all, but I'm also shooting Federal Syntech, which is awesome. 

[Top Shelf 1911s vs Glock based Pistols]

I've spent a lot of time shooting and smithing on both the 1911 and on the Glock. It certainly is possible to reduce the length of pull on a Glock trigger. (See Johnny Glock) Will it ever be in the .020" range like on a tuned 1911? Not without some engineering. But to say that it's impossible is not true at all. My question isn't one of preference of the trigger pull, I think that's a given for most folks. The question is how would the perception of shooting and competing with a Glock change with a top shelf trigger?

Was that John Wick or Arnold ?

 

You wouldn't believe what I would have said, after I was resuscitated.     

 

It was very, very gross. He was cool as a cucumber though. The rangemaster went with him to the ER because he was concerned about liability problems coming back on the range. That was honestly the last time I shot there. 

[What's the most unsafe thing you've seen at a match?]

At a local IDPA match before I was shooting USPSA we had a guy draw, stick his off hand in front of the muzzle and put a clean .45 wadcutter hole directly through his hand. He immediately stopped, said I DQ myself, and then calmly looked through his hand down range with an "I'll be darn, I can see through my hand." 

[Top Shelf 1911s vs Glock based Pistols]

Hey gents, I know I'm reviving an old thread here. What if you could have a 1911 style trigger on a Glock? How would that change things? I mean a straight pull, linear trigger that you could adjust pre and overtravel, and get to hang around 2-3 pounds. Thoughts?
