Now it finally has all the major work done. Cerakote on all metal parts. Only thing left to do is to find black screws for the thumbrest. Two sided optic mount and thumbrest are custom parts.

i have been using 8.6 of 3n38 with and extreme 124 concave bullet, the case is basically full, i load them 1.17 so they won't chamber in my wife's cz.
these are pretty hot, at a7 chrono this weekend they were 175 pf.
I do think this can come down and the gun might behave a little better, though doing a measurement drill(shoot 1, and just see where the dot stops) the gun is literally perfect, when I get into sub .20's there is still oscillation happening that is definetly not there when its more like a .23 split.
Roughly, anyone know how many fps .1 gets me? with my minor loads in n320 .2 is usually around 15 fps. I have alot of room to come down, i am perfectly comfortable running like 168 for purposes of chrono, im thinking i can come down to 8.2 and be in the ballpark.
I have basically the same load: Alsa 124gr FMJ RN, 8.6 grs of 3N38 from an old STI matchmaster with a 4,25" barrel but I'm getting barely an average of 163 PF.
Now I'm having a Brazos 5" barrel with TC2 cuts. Any suggestions on how much to use 3N38? Just by looking at the post above, 8.6 grs might be way too much. Just looking for a ballpark start. Maybe 8.2? -
I ended up with a Brazos barrel and slide. I'll just need to get some paperwork done here and then the gunsmith can get on with his magic. I'll post pictures of the finished product here
-
Thanks for confirming! Sounds like there is no point whatsoever to order a slide all the way from the US then. I'll do some digging if I can find an equivalent slide from Europe.

They are both the same slide. Made by Dasan.
Can anyone confirm this? Sounds like a pretty bold statement

I have a brazos slide on a limited gun it's been good. I think the Atlas slides are more cut up, so they're probably lighter but that also likely makes them a little weaker. But that's just a guess. Kinda depends what you want. The Brazos are typically just flat topped, you could probably cut them to be tritopped and take a little more weight out of them pretty easily.
In any case, I am buying a bald, untouched unique slide so the lightening will be done here. Thus lightening profiles do not matter at this point.
-
Living in Finland makes my options limited, but currently my options for a 5" 9 major open gun slide seem to be Atlas vs Brazos. Atlas is out of stock at SSI and Brazos is in stock.
What's the opinion here, should I just order the Brazos slide or wait for the Atlas to come back to stock? One local smith said he didn't really like working with Brazos parts and that's the only thing I've really heard about them. I have a Brazos 5" barrel coming as well, since it was basically the only one-piece compensator available. -

Regardless, it’s the best holster I’ve used. I’m glad they did whatever they did.
I own three SLB's because I think that is the best holster I've used. If the everglades comes even close, it's still far ahead of any other competition

You must have a free cap from everglades
Well it is illegal only if the invention is patented or the design is protected. Otherwise it's free game, legally. Morally it's a whole another story

Does anyone know what is the thread size and pitch of the default screws on the non Legion x5 for holding the rear sight in its place? I normally deal with metric and these appear to be imperial...
-
SLB Gen 1 for me. I've got the gen2 for PD but I somehow like the gen 1 better. I know SLB personally and it's nice to buy these from a local store

Swapped to the AC TRS. I definitely like the reset better minus the very slight pull increase. Doesn't fix the issue though unfortunately. It has to be a tolerance issue with my FCU.
That's interesting! I wonder if it can be fixed by changing the safety lever or something similar.
Mine started doing it again after being fouled after shooting. This is the first time it does this just from fouling. Haven't yet cleaned to see if mine stops.

Thanks for the info. Its a cheap test.
Any progress?

Sorry to bump this thread... (2021 legion)
But i still have the double reset issue. The gun is functioning fine otherwise.
I did noticed my Safety Lever rattles side to side, where my buddies p320 (none x5) safety lever does not. I didn't check if he has the spring in there.
Could this be a contributing factor?
Sure, any looseness in the trigger group could create unwanted effects. I just fully disassembled my FCU again and polished all contacting surfaces. After assembly I got the double reset again and almost lost my mind trying to replicate the issue with the slide off, but wasn't able to and wasn't able to find the culprit part. Then I thought to add a few drops of oil to lessen the problem since I assembled it dry. Well, the double reset was gone. A good reminder that guns are not meant to run dry.

Thanks Terry.
Janskis:
Under USPSA rules it would be REF and a reshoot. Under IPSC rules it is not. There is no direct rule in IPSC that makes a plate not falling when hit REF. That said, if I can find some external issue that is interfering with the plate I will consider REF. But absent some external factor, there is no provision that would support a call of REF. If you still think it is REF please tell us the rule YOU would quote in support of the call.
I wasn't trying to claim you weren't right, I was willing to learn. After re-reading the rule, I can confirm that nothing there says it should be a reshoot.

Interesting idea yet technically not allowed under USPSA rules. In this situation it's not a safety issue. It's a personal issue between a shooter and the "md".
That may be the next step.
Does it have to be? What in USPSA rules prevents such an arrangement done for range safety if the ban consists of all local matches at the range regardless of discipline? I don't see a reason why a range ban between the range and a shooter should have anything to do with USPSA rules. A local safety officer can't ban the shooter from the sport, but can ban the shooter from the range.

One final note … Several years ago IPSC rules removed the RO’s discretion to declare REF when a plate is adequately struck but fails to fall. If it’s hit it must fall. If it doesn’t fall you must shoot it until it does. (This is admittedly problematic … I wish there were better guidance, but it has been this way since at least 2016.) If it turns sideways or edge-on when hit it is clearly a REF, or more properly, an illegal setup in the first place. Fix it (make it legal) and reshoot.
Could you please quote the rule? I've been under the impression that it should be a REF and a reshoot if the plate doesn't fall, but as a competitor in the rare event a plate won't fall on hti I've just shot it until it falls because I can't care for the hassle...

With my grip, my strong-hand thumb rests on to the back of my weak-hand thumb in a thumbs forward grip. Lately, I've developed an inclination to apply pressure with my strong thumb onto my weak-hand instead of just letting it rest there. Is this inherently bad or not desirable at all?
A friend of mine recently discovered that applying pressure on his right thumb in a similar way interfered with his trigger control and made him lose accuracy. As Schultz pointed out, try it out to see what happens. Some pressure probably won't matter but death grip on your right hand will probably have negative effect.
I myself insert a slight pressure with my right thumb and haven't noticed any problems, but my right hand is mostly relaxed on the pistol

wow.. I came here looking for similar issues and this is mine. I have a Sig p320 x5Legion with Romeo1pro. Bench bag 18yrd and money every time. In a match what I find is I am shooting low on the targets to my left where I draw up from right to left. My center and right targets I tend to shoot successfully.
I literally took 4 shots at one target and even slightly paused for aim and had red dot in dead center at only 12yrd and shot right below the plate. Rest of match I aimed top of plate to hit slightly below center.
I am all new to Steel Challenge and I feel my issue may be related to body movement (not turning at hips etc) and slapping the trigger. Clearly when I run a string and don't care about time and try to hit each plate I do.. lol.. so like @RJH said, it's trigger control at speed... Now.. recommendations on fixing that?
Thanks

Bill Drill.
6 shots at Alpha as fast as you can. The goal is to see the sights every single time instead of just pulling the trigger as fast as you can.
The times depend on your level but a two second bill drill at 7 yards is a good run. I try to push 1.8 with my open gun while my PB at 25 metres is slightly over 2.9 all alphas.

I removed the striker safety to confirm my theory and yes, the double reset disappeared. I also found out that the old safety lever 1302387-R still requires the use of a safety lever spring:
and the new 1300739-R does not:
Now all original parts are back in and I'll update this if I remember when I install the GG kit some day.
-
After removing the spring, the the trigger reset has assisting force up to two points and gives a distinct click on the first one although the trigger isn't fully reset. This is extremely annoying.
Any ideas? Do I have to put the spring back in? Apparently SIG doesn't install the safety lever spring in newer SIG's anymore, so when I was watching an assembly video not mentioning the spring first I was baffled on where did the spring materialize from.
I'm also probably going to order and install the GG kit so that might solve the problem too but I'm interested if anyone else has the same...

Does anyone happen to have the backside of the tape, or an unused tape available? I'm in need of a grip tape template for DIY material...

We ended up buying plastic buckets where we inserted short plastic tubes wide enough to accommodate the wall legs, and then we filled the buckets with concrete. The first prototypes are drying up now and we'll test them tomorrow. I'll post pictures if I just remember to take some.
The bases are stackable and have handles to make carrying easier. They are quite hefty so they shouldn't budge due to a slight breeze... -

The steel plates with either a cluster of tubes or cluster of rods work pretty well if staked down and also if the wall sections are tied together it helps reinforce things. Standalone, they're not something you want to put a lot of weight onto. We had a guy make a few braces that went diagonally from the top of the wall to the ground which help a lot, but they rarely get used.
Our current design philosophy is to have walls outside the shooting area, ensuring that they are not leaned into. We are trying to make a difference in our country to try to lower the general threshold for keeping matches. Currently our typical L2 matches are done with such painstaking attention that they could easily be L3

8.6 grs seems to be just perfect with the above bullet at 29,6mm OAL. I'll have to double check PF but seems to be at 164 ish
