  1. IMO the romeo 1 wins as far as glass clarity and true 1x. The venom to my eye has slight magnification. I'd look through both side by side if you could. The only thing that has kept me from a romeo so far is the stories of durability I have heard. If it wasn't for that I'd already own one!

    I happened to snag a P250 (same as 320) Compact Small grip module for cheap just to mess with. The X5 slide drops on, and the dustcover mates correctly with the slide, but the magazines don't seat. They click into the latch and then fall back out.

     

    This is my first Sig, but I'm guessing the magazine baseplates help the mags mate to the grip and lock into place? Obviously the 21-round tubes are way too long for that.

    I could get a small full size p320 grip model to work on the X5 slide but I like the X5 frames.

    When I shot glock I used ETS mags pretty regularly with no trouble. Those use the standard base pad so I think it's safe to assume the same for the sig ones. While I do really like metal mags, I much prefer cheap mags. 

    I'm in the same boat. As long as they function and are cheap these will sell out very fast.

    No, they don't for X5 specifically. Have to use  P320 Full Size Small Module for X5 trigger system. 

    Okay I didnt think they did. I was just making sure. If they did I was getting ready to start searching for one lol

    Medium grip of X5 may be too big for me, thinking of getting Sig’s small grip module. Does anyone know trigger reach distance for medium and small grip modules? 

    Do they make a small grip module for the x5?

    Well, that trigger upgrade job was fast and easy.  I  retrofitted and tested both my X-5's inside of 15 minutes.             

     

    That's a tremendous difference in pull weight.  One of the two is slightly spongier than the other, but both are pretty good overall.  

    Which one did you put in?

  7. So I picked up a used 1911 A2 in 9mm used today. Gun looks like it hasn't cleaned in a long while so my first thing is stripping it and giving it an ultrasonic cleaning. Secondly a few problems. It has the plastic main spring housing. I want a metal one and don't know which one will work. My second thing is the barrel. I am not sure if this is one of the new ramped barrels or if someone tried to ramp it. There is a small ramp in the frame and possibly one on the barrel. Rounds are nose diving into the frame from a couple of the mags. I wonder if Armscor would warranty this and replace it for a ramped barrel? If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it!!

  8. So I'm looking to pick up a lightweight big from AIM. Has anyone used one of these? They have the nitride, NiB, and titanium. I have heard the NiB flakes so I'm looking at either the nitride or the titanium. 

  9. So I picked up my M3K a week ago and I have been practicing with it. I am completely new to 3 gun so I'm trying to figure out what's best for me to load shells. I have done weak hand load 4, weak l2 and quads and string l2 and quads. My problem is that when loading 2 or quads sometimes the shells are binding up as I insert. The lifter wants to push back down on them and hang up. Anyone else having this problem? Am in just not getting my angles down right? I also feel like i need to open the loading port more because sometimes I can't get the shells all the way into the catch. Any advice?
