Finally read the FAQs (3/11)
-
Ah perfect, thanks.
-
Great news. It doesn't start coming off the rails after a certain amount of rounds? Do you happen to have the link/contact info for AWP?
-
Thanks for sharing your experience with HC. Does HC also work in the frame rails, or the minute the slide cycles the HC is gone?
-
I've heard that DLC and hard chrome are excellent finishes, but I'm wondering if I have these applied to a frame's rails will it stop the wear from the slide or will the coating come off a soon as the slide begins to cycle?
-
I get 1,500 rounds for $300. But a lot of competition shooters out here have sponsors and they burn through like 10k - 20k rounds per month. So if you get a sponsor the sky is the limit as far as round counts. That's why I was wondering around how many rounds a Sig P320 FCU lasts, because that would come out of my pocket, lol. And $3k every year if they last around 150k rounds, that's kind of high for a production handgun.
-
Now, onto revolver frames stretching, lol. Is it true that everytime you fire a revolver the frame stretches just a tiny bit? Or does this have to do only with the aluminum revolvers more so, or what if I but a 357 mag revolver but only shoot 38 special. Will it still stretch eventually, just much slower than with full power 357 mag loads?
-
Very true. The modularity of the P320 is very intriguing to me, but at that price yes, the P320's real market value is significantly less than a CZ. I wonder ehat would fail from the actual metal part of the FCU. Would it be the slide rail tabs thinning down to unusable, cracking, or another part of the FCU cracking? Because those 3 possibilities are the only ways I see the actual FCU cracking.
-
For the non-shadow I guess it's MSRP, $900 - $1k. But I really like the modularity of the P320. It's a real bummer I can't buy form an FFL here in CA. I spoke to Sig Sauer yesterday and one of their lead CS guys said eventually the FCU would fail, it would just be a matter of when, not if.
-
Nice plan for eight guns, Lol. Unfortunately the Tangfolio isn't sold here in CA, or any of the other ones you mentioned for that matter. The only one sold here in CA is the CZ Sp 01 75, but not the shadow version. I've been thinking about getting one of these but since it's not the shadow version I looked at having the slide milled for optics but couldn't find replacement slides amd have heard that CZ won't replace just the slide?
-
I don't really like to reload though so so far I go with factory ammo. Still pretty safe as far as longevity?
-
You're right! I haven't. I'm trying to get into competitive USPSA production.
-
About $2,500 here in Cali, but the problem is that there's not many of them since they can only be obtained through ppt from someone coming into CA, and since most people are leaving CA, Lol. Yes, it's been challenged many times, the two most relevant ones one ended in the CA Supreme Court where the biased liberal court upheld the ridiculous law, and the other ended with an en blanc review in the 9th Circus Court of Appeals which also upheld the ridiculous. There's a new one, but unless SCOTUS intervenes I don't see it going anywhere either.
-
Been thinking about it for years now.
-
Almost. Can only get pre 2012 models, and those are becoming few. For Glocks, for example, still on Gen 3 9mm when everyone has the Gen 5.
-
I wouldn't worry about it if it were not for California banning the sale of everything. Can't buy just the receiver and anything P320 or P365 can only be bought from someone else and expect to pay about $2,500-$3,000 for each. Hence, for a Sig FCU it would only be worth it for me if it's pretty much indestructible. Any other part of the gun I can get, but the FCU because it's the serialized portion I can't replace here in California.
