Ok, thank you. I have the legion and a Sig 365xl. Looking to pick up some red dots for each, and heard swampfox were worth looking into.
The 365XL uses a Sentinal, no adapter needed, just remove the rear sight. Legions and X-5’s use slightly different adapters, the Springer website is pretty good on the difference.

On a Mr. Bulletfeeder there are the droppers that you adjust or use different ones, like 9mm, 40, 45 each require different droppers. Now the collator needs to be tweaked for each bullet weight/profile. I had mine adjusted for 9mm 147 gr. RN bullets, had to tweak it a bit for 124 JHP and then again for 124 RN.

Wow!! I hadn't even thought of static charge setting one off! Thanks for the heads up, will definitely adjust my safety practices with that in mind!
I never thought of it, until a mutual friend of ours sent me an e mail about John. John sold a lot of ammo at the gun shows in Northern California, including some hard to find old military calibers. He actually lost his eye and had glass eye put in.

Did you have to get a specific mount for your X5?
I used a Spring Precision mount. They tap in like tapping in a sight. The Swampfox red dots have a RMR pattern like the Holosun and Trijicon red dots.

I had a friend of mine that had a part time professional reloading business. He had 4 1050’s, and 3 650’s. He had a tube explode not by seating a primer, but by the last primer that was dropped in the primer tube did not go all the way in. He went to align it to drop with his finger. Had a static charge set off the primers, the explosion blew off two of his finger tips and an anvil went in his eye causing him to lose one of his eyes.
This can happen anytime handling primers, I never touch live primers out of their box without safety glasses on.

Did you watch the video at all? No, it's not the same as EOTech and Holosun, and it's not for aiming.
I did watch it, the circle is exactly what I originally posted. Now the chevron, not really sure on a pistol, I do like a chevron on a rifle scope. On pistol optics I am not a fan of huge dots for our kind of shooting, they are fine for carry and self defense.

Nope, I am familiar with the 507. Most reviews on YouTube are pretty poor so if I watch them I fast forward A LOT. Mr Gunandgear is one of the better reviewers on YouTube.

Comes from EoTechs and Holosun 510’s. The dot/circle helps less experienced shooters aim quicker.

I had 2011BDR stipple my Legion grip, it came out so sweet. He posted pics of a grip he did in one of the X-5 posts here. Great work and very fast turn around.

Where did he find 4 x five slides? Can you still get them?
I’m not trying to piss you off but Sig just had a sale over the weekend for complete slides with optics. I got a X-5 for $429, it already shipped. I would check they may still be on sale.

Springer separated the X-5 from the Legion X-5 on their website.

I had a friend that had a small commercial reloading business. Four 1050's, couple 650's. He had a static charge set off a tube of primers, damaged his hand some, and he lost an eye since he wasn't wearing safety glasses. I'm glad you are still healthy, underwear washes.

Correction, it’s Radical Firearms and the barrel is on OpticPlanet. Looks like they are discontinuing their line of pistol barrels.
Radical Firearms build lower end AR’s, for an accurate barrel I would look else where.

The factory barrel would be just as good, maybe better.

Not that I know of. My P365 XL shot real low, and left, like in the lower left D zone when aiming at a dot placed at the top area of the A zone, this was at 5 yds. This was from a bench shooting for very tight groups. I put a red dot on it and ran out of adjustment. It went back to and they said nothing was wrong, but when it came back shooting the same 5 yds it shot maybe 1-2” low in the center of the A zone. Then I installed the red dot and it very easy adjusted to point of aim, even when moving to 10 yds.

Is anyone running an ALS holster with a railed 2011 with light.
The closest thing I can find that might work is for a Springfield operator with a surefire x300. But I’m not to keen on wasting $100+ on trail and error. So if anyone is running a similar setup let’s hear what your using.I only want a safariland als, no hood. Want it similar to my work holster. It will be going on a qls so I can mess around on the range while at work.
thanks!
The Safariland web site leaves a lot to be desired, but if you call up Safariland they have good customer service and can get you hooked up if they offer something that works.

Flat tip.
Thanks, with so thought I see how to use the tip. I have a bunch of AR grips to practice on.

- Raised, deepened and narrowed the beaver-tail
- Thin and radius the front and back straps

What tip did you used to stipple like that?

Any other reviews? Swampfox has a sale going on through today and includes their Ironsides shield with the Justice which is tempting but there still aren't a whole lot of reviews yet.
Quite a few people on ARFcom have bought Swampfox red dots and scopes and like them. They do stand behind their product.

Razor, look for a used one save some more money.

Bullet feeders are pretty fussy to get running 100%. Even the Mr. Bulletfeeder requires a bit of playing with to get it perfect, but you can get it running perfectly. The other companies that try just don’t come close.
Not sure what to make of this reticle

I have one coming hopefully this week. Should be interesting.
