You'll have an issue with overinsertion
Will there be over insertion issues with the MBX 140mm also?
Looks like the staccato 140mm only holds 21 rounds vs 24 with the MBX.

it doesn’t come close to fitting the GX or probably any other kydex holster.
As to using thumbrest, I’d say that the vast majority of p320s I see at matches have some type of thumbrest installed. Now that there is one available for the shadow2, I’m sure you’ll see a lot more of those in the future as well.
They do add something, how much is probably an individual thing.
I tried the Align Tactical one and I did notice a slight difference but I found myself having to tweak my grip too much to make it work. I was having to rotate my wrist a little further forward than was comfortable. But these new ones don't seem like that would be an issue. The Tevo might work with my holster since it sits further back.

I know it's not directed at me AND it's not what this thread is about BUT....
I'm running the AXG pro slide 4.7" instead of the Max slide 5.0" and I like it better. The slide only weighs an ounce or so less but the balance is better IMO and it's a bit faster. I like how it swings better as well with less barrel and guide rod in the front. I'm curious about even shorter/ lighter/ faster slides but will run this for the next season and see how I feel about it then.
Thanks. I priced out an AXG conversion kit and it's basically the cost of the entire gun with the FCU. I was debating trying the axg lower with my x5 5" upper but I hadn't heard any reports on it.

Because of where the gx attaches to the hanger, I doubt a gx would work
Ya good catch. I looked closer and it wouldn't work. Not willing to buy an entirely new holster and/or hanger to try it out. I need to remind myself that top level CO guys don't use 'em and Nils won with a Canik.... LOL

I have zero upward slide movement when pulling the trigger with my AXG Pro with a Barstow barrel and SA drop in trigger. Not sure what cancelled that out exactly but it was nice to see.
Are you running the axg pro 4.7” slide?

I recently found out during a match with a stage that used 24 rounds. Used a barney mag along with my Sig 21 round mags with TTI base pads and Grams springs. (23 rounds loadable).
For those that have the necessary confidence, eliminating a reload definitely helps! And they fit the gauge with no mods...........
Stonebridge gun works supposedly has a 24+1 p320 mag that’s legal.

Agreed. Truly some crazy Witchcraft with that trigger. I have just installed my drop in kit, and its by far the best Striker Fired gun trigger I have ever touched. The take up is on par with my 2011 Athena, and while the trigger is not as light as the 2011 trigger the stack up is essentially not noticeable at speed and the pull through the trigger while at 3 lbs. feels much lower. Not sure how that is possible. I have been searching for a P320 trigger to seem as close to a 2011 trigger as possible, and the Sigs Armorer trigger seems to be the ticket. The reset is ever so slight longer than the 2011 trigger, but I think this will make switching between the guns as seamless as possible. I will put it through its paces this winter in off season practice.
It is worth the investment.
Can you measure the pretravel?

Agree with others just do it yourself. It won’t look as good but it will be just as functional. A dremel, some epoxy and silicon carbide is all you need.

"IF" your needing striker reset springs, SigSauerParts.com has them in stock. I have purchased a lot of spare parts from them; and always receive genuine factory parts when ordered. And their service and shipping is excellent!

Thank you. I was having trouble finding any in stock on a google search.
I looked through my parts drawer and found one I had apparently purchased awhile back!
This spring was definitely the culprit. It was completely mangled.
new on left, old on right. Now that I replaced it, it passes the test.
The spring is tiny. I’m not really sure what the life of one is but it can’t be very high. There is no compression left in mine at all. It’s a mangled mess.

The striker reset spring gets crushed from dry firing the gun. The striker is meant to stop once it hits a primer. With an empty chamber, it over compresses the spring and crushes it fairly quickly.
A dead give away is if you see the striker poking out of the hole in the slide. I guess it could possibly ignite a round, when releasing the slide from slide lock. I don’t think it makes any difference in function. I gave up replacing the spring years ago.
Found this video
I just checked my pistol and the striker does stay protruded. I have dry fire this gun a lot. So maybe this is why the striker is sticking out in the other test.
I’ll have to order a new spring and see if that fixes it. Gun functions fine tho with live ammo.

IMO, Edmond is one of those "hidden gems" that understands how the P320's FCU works; and more importantly, he does an excellent job in presenting the information in his videos in a way that's very easy to understand!
BTW: what was causing your failure with the GG kit?
Edit to clarify:Doing the test in the video after pulling the trigger the striker drops and is past the second ledge of the sear. But when I push in on the striker assembly there is no click and the trigger is just mush. Also if I take out the barrel the firing pin protruded through the breechface like in the last test in the video.8 hours ago, echotango said:4 GG kits with Keres/AC triggers. None of them failed. Something is wrong.
4 hours ago, ddc said:So it is failing with the GG trigger? Or did you swap out the trigger for one where there is a pre-travel screw?
If it is truly failing with a GG trigger then something is wrong.
Originally I did it with GG kit with armory craft trigger and it failed. So I tried again with the GG trigger and kit and it still failed.
Not sure what else to try?

He said there were witnesses. Nobody saw or heard them backing up anything yet.
This incident happened in 2019. He had to clarify that on Reddit yesterday.He also said on Reddit one witness filled out a written statement backing up that it was in the holster but it contains enough personal info that it would doxx him and he doesn’t want to do that.
If these accounts of guns going off in holsters are true There’s always going to be holes in the story so that people can find issue with them.
personally, I’ve heard enough of them that I’m starting to believe where there’s smoke there is fire. Enough so that I’m switching platforms from the p320 x5 legion.
from watching the sig mechanics video it seems that the breakage of the firing pin safety tab spring in combination with the sear slipping off could cause the gun to AD. The 2019 redesign seems to have fixed the sear issue. But These types of things require multiple failures. Is it probable? No. Is it possible? It seems to me yes. Even if it is a tiny chance, there’s lots of other platforms where the chance is 0%.

He did say it happened "between re-holstering my gun and going to the high ready position to make ready". He didn't say it happened "after" re-holstering. The former is the gun fired during the motion of holstering. The latter is the gun fired while untouched after being re-holstered. These are two fundamentally different scenarios. And he was vague about this.
He has clarified. The gun was in the holster resting with his hand off the gun. There are witnesses that back up his statement.

What was the “slip up”?
Paraphrasing but Jake Martens mentioned they have been talking to manufacturers about changes to divisions.

No. No I do not. And even if there was a new division possibly coming it wouldn’t have 170mm magazines in play.
Agreed on 170. There’s a lot of chatter. But no one knows what the board thinks except for the one slip up. It’s all just opinions at this point.

Please report back. I’m looking at doing the same in prep for them being made legal.

Mason Lane claims .356s blue are more accurate so I’ve just followed his advice lol

Does the x5 use the same trigger bar as a stock 320?
Yes. Although older legions have a slightly different trigger bar but the newer ones swap out with no issues.

Any confirmation that this program is now dead due to the colt merger?
I looked on their website this week and there’s only a few pistols available and the shadow 2 is no longer one of them. The dealers list is very small now and my local one is no longer on the list. Something for sure has changed.

I didn’t like it. Went back to a traditional belt. It is really stiff in 2 axes, and really floppy in rotation. A traditional belt is kind of stiff in all directions. To me, it was better to have the guns and mags more steady and not moving around and rotating around the links.
Pretty much this for me also. How floppy it was in rotation led to inconsistent draws for me. There’s just too much movement with the belt.
170 in a Staccato P?
in 1911-style Pistols

Did you end up trying this?
