My pcc defiantly has a more pronounced recoil impulse. The one thing with mine is the return to center. When firing it seems to recover quickly and to be honest when shooting I don’t notice the recoil impulse in consecutive shots.

I have had good luck with the c-more railway. Seems to be the right height for me. Batteries are kinda different to load and seems like I go through them regularly. I have had no point of impact change with it and have had it for some time now.

I bought the x5 legion because I have other sigs in the 320 line. Already have been tinkering with different things about it. I figure when it boils down to it any thing you get you will end up adding more expense to.

Rich406, That is good to know. Thank you. There is some controversy about the sigs but I’ve never had a problem with them. Looking to add a USPSA set up this year. I’ve got several mags for the 320’s I already shoot and figured adding base plates would be advantageous over starting over. Thanks again.

I use those ch plates also. They lock-in the optic well. There are no gaps between the optic and slide. Good stuff in my opinion.

I have read through a lot concerning these magazines. Most of the manufacturers say 141.25 extensions. That is worrisome because it is an exact measurement. Are the gray guns the only ones that fit without sanding ect?

Seems to me that when I shoot alone if I’m not working on something in particular I get lost in regards to goals. When I shoot with others I’m more accountable. This is in regards to pistols. Rifle is a different animal.

I have noticed the chpws has one with a Glock dovetail. They also have a steel one for the cp-10. I don’t see any reason you couldn’t grind off and refinish the notch for the cp-10 one to match the cut out for the shadow 2.

Everyone has their own approach to defensive shooting. I’m older and dont see great anymore for aiming it is very helpful for me to use an optic. During normal draw and presentation I have to really focus to pick up on irons except at night when the tritium shines well. That being said my pocket carry is a small get off of me type approach with no optic or really usable site. I consider it a close up defense. As far as aiming goes I have a friend that went to an active shooter course in which they cleared their homes and had everyday life scenarios. They used training Glocks that shot actual projectiles. He is a proficient shooter with irons on his carry Glock. He said that under stress he completely missed two opponents at 7 yards with small movements by the opponent. Not saying anything about his proficiency just saying that under stress I don’t know if it matters which sighting system is used.

Heck. I’ll be 52 in a few months. I’m not as nimble as I used to be and I wear glasses. I’m looking to become more proficient at shooting a hand gun in general. Didn’t mean to dig an old thread up but I hope there is time to improve after fifty.

Appreciate the updates

I don’t know much about these. I watched a couple of you tube videos on these a little while back. I handled on of those 226 x-fives in my local store and really liked the feel of it. Draw back is single action only and greater than 2000 for just the pistol. Is the stock 2 supported well?

I’m just wanting to pick a platform to improve on and the gun not be a limiting factor. Like with service rifles I shoot against myself mostly. It’s fun to shoot competitions for the sport of it and the completion but when it boils down to it I’m shooting against myself more than anything. When I was referencing the lo vs co my meaning is that if I can shoot a pistol in carry optics then it can be used in limited optics also.

After a little more reading last night I see the part about a production list with carry optics vs limited optics. Either way I’m just wanting to pick something to shoot and spend more time with. Heck I’ve seen people do amazing things with a certain pistol I struggle to just make consistent hits with. Again thanks for all the advice. Looks like a shadow would be about 16-1700 for pistol and optic, sig max around 16 and others up and down from there. I completely like the fact that cz is very accurate where the sig is hit or miss. Decisions -descisions. Thanks again everyone.

Thanks for all the replies. I was thinking the difference between carry optics and limited optics was the addition of a magwell and single action use. Im sure I’m missing something. But anyway I appreciate the conversation and opinions.

I’m not meaning to start a tell me what I want thread. Just asking for some first hand experience. I’m old but my skill level is novice. I had one of the original sig x5 when they came out and shot a couple USPSA events. That has been a few years ago. Pcc started up and shot that for a little while. The last few years I’ve been shooting mainly service rifle but I’m going to shoot some USPSA type shoots this year because there is a club within 15 minutes from me and it has got to where I have to drive a long way to shoot service rifle. I have an sig 320 axg scorpion and a 320 x compact that I use. I was looking at the sig 226 x-five and man that thing is nice but that pistol is over 2000 and puts your into limited optics which is still a new class. Thought about the 320 x5 legion and max. I’m not wanting something I have replace barrels, etc for accuracy which is an Issue from what I’ve read about the 320 x5’s. I saw that gray guns has a 320 pro which is a axg with a long slide, with barrel and trigger upgrade for around 1500. Then there is the cz shadow optics ready. Don’t find many negative review about these. Just looking for some first hand experience with these. I would like to have a platform to learn on that is more suited for the sport than what I have. Thanks ahead of time.

Thank you for your return post. I had a M&p and loved that trigger except for the fact that it seemed real far back to me. I’m gonna try that dr920. The mr 920 seems to fit me well so I’m hoping that the dr will fit also. Thanks again.

I see that you have the dr920. I’ve been thinking about the x5 for carry optics as I see you have it listed. I have a 320 full size and it’s not very accurate but has a nice point of aim. The mr920 8 have has good accuracy but not as natural of a point of aim IMO. I have not shot the dr 920. I see a lot about the inaccuracy of the legion. I was thinking about the dr920 as unposed to the legion for Uspsa carry optics. Any opinions on that dr as opposed to the legion? Thanks ahead of time.

I do understand these things but I have built a few upper lower combos and this is the worst fit out of the box. You have to be careful with that tension screw it can lead to problems with the gun operation. Have seen it happen. im gonna put it together but its a shame the money that will end up being invested in this gun and it will most likely be a rattle bag without adding gizmos or oversized pins. Thats all I was trying to point out.

Just putting this out there for those who are building. Quarter circle ten upper lower fitment is not that good. Havent started building it yet and cant sell it for what the thing cost ($430 plus ffl fee). I was pretty disappointed with the fit of the "matched set" for that kind of money.

I ordered a qc10 upper lower set yesterday to build. Is the fit (wiggle) good on this set? Are there any issues with part fitment? Im planning on using the jp bolt and spring. I have a pof trigger and some other parts. Thanks for the help.

So anyone shooting the gmr 13. That might be the way to go it seems. Looked around at some prices and it seems to me that the reliability factor is not an issue with jp parts but by the time you put it together you are at or above rifle cost. The 13 has a pinned and welded muzzle device is that a draw back or is that device good to go? Thanks again

Thanks for all the replies. Im kinda up in the air srill about what to do. My 556 took over a year to build because of being particular about what I wanted. I figure if your gonna put the money out there might as well be exactly what you want. Thanks again.

I looked at the psa and the lowers were in stock. It also said that it had to be used with a psa upper and there all out of stock. Is that the deal or suggestion from psa?

Appreciate the replies. Im thinking glock pattern. I like ar style. I built (assembled) my 556. I reload 223, 9mm, and 300 blackout. Budget is going to be around a grand. Kids in school and so forth. I dont own a glock but I like the price of there mags and the fact there plentyfull. Mainly shoot sig for pistols. Im not opposed to a build at all. Not familiar with what works. The blackout road taught me alot HAHA.
