Makes sense. Thanks

If I remember correctly Browning is on the AMU (edit from Marine Corps) team. He shoots mostly 3 Gun and major matches. Likely hasn't done enough club matches in single stack to get classified.

I moved from a Razor and SIG Tango6. Both were good but I wanted to see the far steel and bit better. I don't find it distracting and the definition on the long range targets is excellent. It's not dramaticly more powerful but would be hard to go back to to 6. I don't think it would be the same if the eye relief wasn't good.

But the field of view is so wide at plus 8 that you aren't loosing much with it all the way up. I have been using it at 100 to 250 and it feels like cheating. I wouldn't want to back down to 6 power. Also, I zero at 200 so at those closer distance you really aren't using the subtensions anyway. If you really want you can use Strelok to find the subtension values at other magnification levels.

It binds less and released smoother. Also, looks cool

Sorry for the late comment but I ran into @T Bacus today who let me know this thread was out here. I was the RO. I have been competing in USPSA or 3 Gun for the last 15 years and have been a USPSA CRO for at least 13 years. If anyone would have described what the guy did I would advise them it was a DQ, and frankly it didn't occur to me that someone could turn the wrong way and not be in violation of the 180 until I saw this guy. He absolutely turned the wrong way and I was off to the side, at about 190 degree mark by the fence, so I had a good view of the angles. As he turned I clearly saw that his gun was straight up and down and he had it far enough out that he didn't look to be sweeping his feet. It was almost like the whole thing happened in slow motion but every time I replayed it he didn't point it up range. Again, I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it, but I know what I saw. It took a conscious effort to not stop him. I allowed him to finish the stage, unload and show clear, and then I took him off to the side for several minutes to explain everything that was wrong with what he had just done and why he is very, very lucky to not have been stopped right then and there. I also found the MD and explained the situation to him. He agreed with my call (or lack thereof) although there was much shaking of heads while discussing. The shooter was allowed to continue, but ironically I was forced to DQ him on the last stage of the day when he very clearly broke the 180 while trying to dump his pistol in a bucket that was up range from the shooting position. It certainly made me reflect on the previous call. I still think not DQing at first was correct; however, he clearly was not aware of his muzzle and it caught up with him.

Ask Dawson Precision? According to the interview Dawson was making the rear. Otherwise call SIG.

I think it's a dumb idea anyway so this seems like a moot point

Yes. One extra round with the extension and another one with the Grams spring kit. 23 plus 1 in just less than 141.25mm (the actual max length for 140mm mags)

You can use a cover plate in Production to fill the gap milled for an optic.

The P320 itself is on the Production list and the one that comes with the same profile slide but with an optics cut (RX) seems to have been close enough too the standard model to take three of the top five places in Carry Optics at Optics Nationals.

But there isn't one you can point to I'm assuming.

What's this list you are saying the RX is explicitly listed on?

SIG frame

You can have a it milled and use a cover plate to shoot in Production. USPSA made that clear. I think BoD meeting minutes? It's out there for sure.

Mason had one made on a takedown lever. Not sure if he is using it or not.

It's possible

If you don't then the grit adds girth and changes the grip profile.

Glue and grit is specially authorized as as long as it's done within the lines shown in the rulebook, it doesn't change the the profile, and you stay under weight.

I do them.

Max is running the R3 on this open guns and other frame mounted dots. He did try the R3 on his full size P320s but went to the R1 which is what he used to win the last Carry Optics Nationals title. We will see what he settles on with his X5s. He has been giving lots of feedback to the SIG Optics team so it's fair to expect that they will make improvements based on that feedback.

I have been testing some guide rods from one source that does small batch machine jobs. Grayguns and Springer Precision have them in the works as well. Not sure on the ETA.

Springer Precision now has some precut X5 grip tape panels that fit inside of the factory texture borders. http://shop.springerprecision.com/product.sc?productId=426&categoryId=56

X5

I ordered mine on April 12, the day it started shipping from SIG, and received it a few days later. I am in a few different P320 groups and they are all over the place in posts. We had six show up at the Fredericksburg USPSA match earlier this month. Move along with your conspiracy, they are out there in numbers.
