Where are you seeing non-legion X-five slides on their website?
I see x-series slides but not X-five.

Are there any discount codes for Hiperfire?
-
I haven't bought from them in a while but they used to discount for orders over 1k. I was surprised that buying 2k is twice the price of 1k. Still bought 'em though.
Couple of weeks ago they sold out while I was trying to complete my order. That was a bummer.

What is the student price?
I think it depends on what you are buying and I believe it only applies to complete firearms.
I paid $811 for a shipped legion.

I was up at the Sig Academy a few weeks ago and bought a 320 Legion at the student price.
I am not sure if you can call up the Sig Pro Shop and buy one but if you really want it, it may be worth a shot.

fedupflyer--I used to have a Colt 6951 pcc before my JP. I would highly recommend going with glock mags. The colt mags are just a PITA to reload, finicky to get good working ones, and expensive. IMO, anyway.
I am currently using a Colt pattern lower (QC10) and yes, the 32+ rnds are a pain to reload quickly, even with the magwell funnel. I think it may be costing me the difference between being a B to an M.
I just ordered a 20 rnd mag and hopefully that will help. So far, I have had zero problems with the Metalform mags. Other that if they hit the ground at the right angle they will puke up rnds.
I am on my third iteration of this PCC and it all started out as being a range toy.
If I get to shoot more, I may try the Glock pattern lower or maybe just a MPX....who knows
-
Personally, I cannot stand the JP handguards. I find them to thick and uncomfortable.
I have not purchased a JP but I will probably build a new AR-9 over the winter with JP parts and Colt mags.

I am thinking about buying another slide over the winter to use in Carry Optics on my X5 Legion grip.
(Shooting my last match next week until January/February due to work.)
I am having trouble finding info on the Pro Cut slide.
Is there much difference in weight vs the Nitron or Legion slides?
Or is it one of those tacticool looking things?
-
4.0 g SP
125g Zero JHP.
OAL 1.085
Nordic 16' barrel
25 yds and 10 shots. Can use a quarter to cover the holes.
Need to chrono for the Nordic and X-Five Legion

Go to Springer Precision, they say which base makes 140mm with which tube 17 or 21/22. Might check Taran Tactical too. TT has a sale through tonight, so go burn up those credit cards!
I am kinda leaning toward the TTI stuff but I was unsure if they would make the 17 rnd mag too long.
Yeah, wanna pick up a couple when they are on-sale (my fav word next to free).
-
New Legion owner here...
Which mags and or basepad combos meet the 140 mm requirement?
-
Thanks

I just picked up a Legion on my last trip to the Sig Academy.
Esp after I was hitting targets 4/5 shots at 50 yds one-handed.
I want to put the extended mag release on it from Springer Precision.
I am assuming it will fit the X-Five/Legion frame and do I need to get the OEM stop and spring assembly also?
-
I keep saying I am going to chrono the difference between small pistol, small rifle and small pistol primer.
So far I haven't.
I have a range buddy that did and says the only difference he has observed is the small magnum adds about 50fps.
I look at it this way, if you handgun will shoot reliably with small rifle primers, that is one less thing to keep in inventory.

Hiperfire didn’t recommend it. But I went with the 99 dollar EDT trigger. Only at 400 rounds now. We’ll see
I have the EDT3 in my PCC and have around 5k rounds through it and no problems. Its a little heavy pull for gaming.
Looking for a lighter trigger.

Are you using a dust cover?
Those load cells are very sensitive. They will pick up the flow from your A/C and even your breathing.
Had to look up which scale that is.
I personally would not us a scale that does not allow the pan to fit onto the weighing surface with using a cover.
I have a RCBS Charge master and I if I do not use the dust cover I can watch the weight fluctuate.

I cant believe I just picked up some Federal Match grade rifle primers (small and large) for $27at a retail store.
And regular Federal small rifle for $23. Those small rifle work just fine in a PCC. Hopefully they get a shipment in a few days.
Sadly no small pistol.

people arnt answering cause everyone is using tightgroup for plated and jacketed.
By far the communities favorite powder based on USPSA national surveys for all 3 mostly 9mm minor divisions is TightgroupI am actually surprised I got this many responses in under 24 hrs.

What results are you looking for?
With my PCC and 115g and 124g, I have been getting about one inch groups with 10 shots at 25 yds.
I am trying to replicate that with 147s. No I will not be using 147s in the PCC but in an XDM and a Sig 320.
In the past I have used plated and coated 147s but like I said I was not happy with the results. It looked more like a shotgun pattern.
The end result is trying to get the most accurate ammo possible so that I know it is my screw up and not the gun or the ammo.
I am moving away from Titegroup because it is so damn dirty and doubly so in a blowback carbine.
I have had good results from CFE, Sport Pistol, N320 and Bullseye. I was thinking of trying Silhouette but I am trying to thin out before I buy anymore.
Trying to find that one powder that is good for 115, 124 and 147. I just have limited experience with 147s.

The question we should ask you is, what do you have available right now to load?
I think if you do a search these come out popular, 320, And Sport Pistol are the two top favorites right now. However, if you don’t have some on hand it’s highly unlikely you’ll get any in the next month or two.
Well that was not the question.
I do have several powders available right now such as N320, Sport Pistol and Bullseye. In addition, one of the shops I frequent has quite a few powders on hand, so selection is not the issue.
I am trying to find what powder(s) works best for 147g so that I can narrow my inventory. I have been working with 147g in the past but I have not achieved the results that I am looking for.
I don't know if it the bullet, the powder or my technique that is causing me to not achieve my goal. Before I switch to Nosler 147 JHP, I am trying to eliminate powder as a variable.
Apparently alot of people do not shoot 147s that are anything other than coated.
-
With the current bullet shortage I have run out of 115 and 124 Precision Delta bullets.
I have about 1000 PD 147 FP lying around that I haven't really messed with.
What is the communities favorite powder for the 147s (and not Titegroup).

Go to natoreloading.com. Click 9mm and keep scrolling till you get to the chart where they compare 147 gr. Bullets. They list about 12 different powders that push a 147 to 1000 fps. This site is fantastic for 9mm info.
Wow....wished I found that site sometime back.

I had an out of battery detonation when PSA started first making their PCC uppers.
The barrel was short throated and a factory round number 5 detonated with about 1/3 of the case sticking out. I ended up having brass hit my support side wrist and draw blood. The upper went right back to PSA .

Does anybody know if a JP PCC stripped upper is undersized like BCM uppers are?
