Anybody know the weight of the wilson fs grip module with the armory craft tungsten weights installed.
Also if this module is legal with a larger magwell opening, is the legion magwell legal now?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Its what sig refers to as the tension when the slide goes into battery. The originals you had to let the recoil spring do all the work from slide lock, in order to go all the way into battery and lock up, it was so tight, which is good.i have found on the legions, the barrel unlocks easily and does not hang up out of battery if the full force of the recoil spring isn’t used.
Would the fact that the Legion has a weaker firing pin spring account for the difference?

Just to share my experiences, I have two early original X5’s. They both shoot my 145gr titegroup load, my 120gr titegroup load lights out. Like 1-2 inch accuracy at 25 yards. Finally got around to buying a legion, it was an April 2020 manufacture date. I couldn’t get it to shoot better than 3-4 inches at 10 yards.
I swapped the legion top end on my original X5 grip and FCU, same deal.
the barre lockup was very very noticeably worse. Sig has most certainly changed that in the newer designed barrels, in my opinion it was due to so many people complaining about the “pre tension” in the originals, where if you just rode the slide home instead of letting the recoil spring do it’s job, it would hang out if battery by about an 1/8 inch or so.
Could someone please explain "pre tension" I am not sure what it is or what SIG may have changed?

I had many light strikes with CCI BR4 Bench rest Small rifle primers. Come to find out they use a thicker cup. I have had no issues with other small pistol magnums or small rifle primers.

Does any one know the twist rate for the Sig barrels? Just guessing its 1 in 24 optimized for 124/125 nato.
Putting it on the line so to speak for 147s.
In the owners manual under specs it says 1in 10. Mine likes 124/5's better than 147's also.

What size dot do you run? Thanks.
I also have run a railway on several guns including my current PCC. Very reliable. No riser needed. I prefer an 8min dot. It is a good size for USPSA distances. 0-100 yds.

And maybe your rifle primers had a thicker cup and the whole thing is a non-issue.
Yeah, The primers I was having an issue with were CCI BR4 bench rest small rifle. Went back to standard Win. small pistol and problem went away.
Thanks, Randy
P.S. I found this spring at Midwest Gun Works. https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/1300979-R
Doesn't specify (Legion only) so probably the stiffer spring.

It's been reported that P320 Legion uses a lighter striker spring (to help with a lighter trigger pull weight, apparently)
Thanks, I have heard the same thing about the striker spring. I have loaded up some more ammo with small pistol primers and will retest. Just to make sure there isn't something else going on. My trigger is right at 3lbs. and I don't want to change that if I don't have to.

I found out yesterday my Legion will not reliably fire ammo loaded with CCI small rifle primers. No issues with Fed srp. ( I ran out of small pistol primers)

a pin that holds the weight on the butt of BCG walked out inside the gun causing the BCG to stop moving.
Had that happen to my CMMG bolt, Go to the hardware store and get a replacement pin. The ones that some MFG use are really weak. Install the new pin and if it moves again drive a smaller pin inside the larger pin to increase tension. Be careful if you leave the weight out as you may beat the crap out of your buffer.

In my experience the p320 legion shoots noticeably larger groups than the original p320 x5.
You are not the first person that has said that. Any idea why that is? What is different?
-
Just picked up a new P320 X5 Legion. Nice gun but I am not thrilled with the accuracy. It is O.K. but I really would have thought it would be better.
Does anyone know what the twist rate is? I don't see it listed in the specs.
I like to shoot 135 or 147 gr coated, not so much 125 or 115. Thanks
-
I am in no hurry. I was just curious if there are any out there and what people think about them.
The set up I have now is good, but I would like to try even more short stroke than I can get with it.
-
Thinking about getting one of the new Taccom ESSB short stroke bolts.
Was wondering if anyone has experience with one.
I am currently using a JP SS bolt and the original JP two screw trigger. but like the idea of how Taccom has recut the ramp to help reset.
Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks, Sarge!
Does anyone have first hand experience with xtreme 115 hpcb round nose in a PCC?

Plated here. No exposed lead.
I shot coated bullets (several different brands) in my PCC and found massive amounts of lead in the comp.
Switched to JHP's and the comp stays nice and clean.
Do plated bullets work the same as JHP's or does the plating strip/burn off as with coated bullets?

Do you want the weight of the bolt and their recoil system or just the weight of the recoil system?
H5 carrier with 5 tungsten weighs 11.7 oz.
JP SS enhanced bolt weighs 13.4 oz.
Total reciprocating mass = 25.1 oz.

I watched a video from Cain arms showing a +5 base for magpul. Maybe they could make a longer one.

Also I think ZEV makes an extension that fits between the bottom of the mag body and the baseplate.

I would try a large frame glock lower (QC-10) and run 10mm barrel. should give you plenty of power for ranch defense and the cases are straight walled so no rim to jam up in mag. .45 was always the round of choice for bowling pins.

I’m not fast but I am accurate I’m old so............accuracy is all I have.
+1 on that

Thanks for the replies guys. I learned something today.

I have read many posts that state the use of anti-roll trigger/hammer pins. Could someone please educate me as to why this is important.
I get the fact that you don't want the pins to be sloppy loose or able to fall out but why anti-roll?
-
I am considering using a 7.5" barrel with their shroud with mid-barrel brake . I would machine a hole in the top of the hand guard to vent the gas. I am thinking the fire retardant aspect might be a good thing.
Mostly interested if anybody used one of the G10 guards.
Thx

Have you tried the lower weight striker springs that came with the HBI trigger kit?
Springs first, polish all contact points in trigger bar,striker and disconnector
Other than that you would need to start changing sear/striker geometry (not recommended)
On a side note: G17 recoil springs go to coilbind .070" before full slide travel in my P-10F (just saying)
