    Adam, its sounds like you're damn good with the Glock. Frankly, I'm really no faster with my X5 than I was with my Glocks. In fact, I can still pull some faster splits with the Glock. For me the X5 is just more comfortable to shoot. The grip angle is more comfortable, and the big thing for me is my strong hand doesn't get chewed up by the slide as it did with Glocks. So, all that being said, I don't think there is an appreciable speed advantage to be had with one platform over the other.

    Thanks. I don't have the money to by an X5 just to try it out and then try to sell it if I don't like it. So I was just trying to ask if you get any type of boost from it over the Glock 34.

    How would you get a speed boost from switching plastic gun A for plastic gun B?

    That is why I am asking the question. To see if there is any speed boost that others have seen. 

  3. I have been running a 17 and 19 for years. I have won Area 6 3 gun limited division twice shooting the 17. Without going into the STIs and 3000 dollar guns I was just wondering if the X5 would give me an advantage and minor speed boost over the Glock. Thank you all who have responded so far.

  4. I realize that and have state titles shooting the Glock. Just wondering if I can get a better arrow as well.

    As they say, it's not the arrows, it's the Warrior. There are National Champions who shoot 34s.

     

    Spend the money on a lesson or two and more practice ammo.

     

  5. Alright, I have been running Glocks most my life but feel I need something else to push the speed even more. I am looking for something other then dropping 3000 on a STI type gun. The X5 seems to fit good in the hand and have shot the X Compact. How does the X5 compare to the Glock 34 as far as recoil, accuracy, etc. 

    Thanks, 

    Adam

     

  6. I have been shooting Glocks for years and years but looking to possibly move to another platform. It would be used 3 gun, USPSA and possibly IDPA. I like 2011s but don't feel like dropping 2000 for a handgun. What else is out there. I have been looking at Sig X5 but what else. 

     

    Thanks, 

    Adam

    I just finished building my next rifle with this barrel and a jp adjustable GB, ICRW g2 carrier, odin adjustable lightweight buffer and UMTAC rage... hows reliability been?

    I have never had a jam with it all all. Feels like a .22 and shoots MOA with PMC. Won limited division in Area 6 three gun championship last year with it.

    If I understand your question correctly, then yes, the 92 has notably fatter grip than the SP01 and I don't know anyone who really wished the grip on the 92 to be bigger. I find it fairly comfortable and, at 183 cm tall, I have even looked for thinner grip options. As a reference, I shoot Shadow 2 and I use custom sized thick Lok grips to get me enough surface. The 92 grip is shorter but I've not found this to be a problem. 

     

    I have shot a Beretta and a CZ. When I got the thin grips on the Beretta the gun actually felt nice and the trigger reach was MUCH shorter than on a CZ. The reason I don't shoot a CZ is because of the trigger reach being so freaking LONG!

    Special Ops Tactical makes a rifle length gas 14.8” barrel with an rearward angled gas port that they claim is reliable.  Has anyone heard of any actual real world use? For $209 may be worth a testing out.

    Just something to think about that I have pondered. Is a 14.8 barrel with rifle length any better then a 16 inch which we know can be reliable. Now a 13.7 or shorter I under is a savings. But 1.2 inches where reliability could be suspect isn't worth it to me. Just food for thought.

    Fiocchi 1 oz 1300 low recoil is my preferred in my vepr. Federal is good also, but I have trouble finding them sometimes. I just order Fiocchi from Sportsmans guide, they normally have them stock. 

    I will check sportsman's guide. That is the problem with slugs that aren't deer, finding then to buy them.
