  1. Gripes re: Romeo1

    • not durable, ejecting brass damages the metal lens frame and even cracks the lens. Blah Blah Blah warranty, but you're you're stuck without a dot while it is in for warranty
    • the rear sight notch is a damn joke. you can only do a lower 1/100th co-witness vs. I dunno a lower .1/3 and it is NOT adjustable
    • threaded battery compartment, that's just begging to be stripped out.Top access latches are faster/better

     

  2. Things you hafta think about re: the Canik & the Sig
    • Canik will have very limited aftermarket mods/upgrades
    • In OEM form the X-Five doesn't have a provision for  BUIS. You can easily modify the RMR mill to accept Leupy DPP (which has an optional ADJUSTABLE BUIS) or a Vortex Venom.IMHO The Romeo 1 SUCKS.

    In the end shoot what you can shoot best

    Whilst I don't want the pink what brand of grip tape are you using?

    My ancient Samsung phone makes the ordange tape look pink.

    It "was" from Springer Precision, they don;t sell the 4 pc kit anymore. You can still get teh 1 pc wraparound from them,

    Are you referring to the screws that hold the rear, iron sight, in place?

    If so, jcc7x7 is correct.

    After Sig sent me the wrong screws, TWICE, I got some through my local Fastenal store.

    Pg 40 or 42 X5 thread IndyColtsFan said they are 4-48 3/8"  Double check by searching x-5 thread "screw" think it was the 3rd listing

     

     Negative: the screw thread is 6-48 the length for top mounting an RDS is 9/16.
    NOTE: mounting the rear Adj. sight plate from underneath takes a shorter length screw(by my calipers 3/16) and I'm not sure wht the head type is to sit flush in the slide.
    I made the wrong assumption jcc7x7 is correct

    The X-Five rear iron mounting screws (from the bottom/underneath the slide) are 4-48 x 3/16
    To mount an RDS (to the topside mounting holes) is 6-48 X 9/16

    Blueridge and NRA... been to elite 2x since it way too far for me. You local here?


    Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I live about 5-10 min from NRA HQ but I don;t shoot there anymore. They're too uptight and I can never get enough time on a lane there.

    I've been swept one too many times @ Blueridge and the owner is a damn Liberal.

    Elite is where I go on this side of the river,.

    If I want to shoot a LOT or all day I go to Maryland Small Arms (yes MARYLAND) near Andrews AFB since you can shoot all day for a one time fee of $20. They let you draw, speed shoot, shoot from prone as long as you're SAFE and  not a complete screw-up i.e. you know what you're doing.

     

  8. This is my EDC bleed kit. Keep in mind this is to mitigate bleeding til I (or someone else) can get to my CERT pack in my vehicle.

    • Swat-T Tourniquet ($15): small form factor, dual purpose (TQ/compression bandage), easier to use around area like inner thigh. #1 reason  I have this on me is it is easier for an UNTRAINED person to apply this to ME. (NOTE: there are 2 C-A-Ts in my CERT pack)

     

    • HyFin Vent ($15): for sucking chest wounds

    • Gloves/Ductape/Ziploc ($3): gloves for other peoples blood, Ductape + Ziplpoc adhoc sealing bandage (ductape is flat-wrapped around an old plastic hotel keycard)

    • Quickclot Sponge ($10): self-explanatory

    • Inkzall Pen ($1): to mark TQ time & write injury notes to stick on victim

    • Aptus Designs Low Visibility Aid Kit (LVAK) ($30): I usually carry this on my ankle. It can be looped on a belt, worn as an armband and worn IWB. Ive also seen it wrapped around a vehicle visor or seat headrest. https://aptus-design-group.myshopify.com/

    Has anyone had luck installing Talon skateboard grip tape on their x5? I place a lot of pressure on my grip and the tape starts migrating after a few hundred presentations. I clean thoroughly, place and apply heat and pressure. It moves at the bottom of the backstrap and the top of the support hand side.

     

    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    I used BSI IC-2000 rubber infused super glue to keep my Springer Precision panels from sliding around. I used BSI Un-Cure to cleanoff all the adhesive when I replaced my first set of SP granualr grips. You can buy this from Dawson Precision, your local specialty hobby shop might carry it as well.

  10. The DLC finish on the black barrels is there for a reason to resist corrosion and extend durability. WHY would you want to sacrifice that for the sake of looks ?

    Look at it this way if you remove the finish of the barrel you will eventually end up buying a replacement anyway, IMHO just buy a new threaded coated barrel ($225) in the color of your choice and keep your original as a spare ?

    My Sig rep told me it is a unique footprint.

    Probably because your Sig rep wants you to believe that the Romeo 1 is the ONLY MRDS you can buy for a P320.

    It is unique in that is it 2mm shorter lengthwise (forward of the bolt holes) that a DPP or a Venom footprint.

  12. The finish is fragile. Many have reported that ejecting brass has nicked the finish. Even worse some brass found its way to the glass and cracked or chipped it. SIG stands behind the R1 and repaired/replaced them.

    The BUIS on the R1 is there but I found it diifficult to acquire quickly.

    I never had issues with mine (since July '17) but I did just sell it to put a DPP on in it's place FWIW. I'm having the slide altered by 2mm to fit the DPP as shaving the DPP voids the warranty and it is more likely to have issues than my X-Five slide.

  13. IIRC the DPP and Romeo1 share teh same mounting bolt pattern. That said I know that to direct mount a DPP to a P320 X-Five you have to extend the footprint on the X-Five slide by 2mm towards the muzzle. SO the Romeo1 should fit the DPP footprint, since it is shorter.
