  1. I'd be concerned with it fitting into your holster if do the paddle mod on the the extended springer release. I did this to the factory release and it fits without holster modification. The springer may have way too much height and cause you to accidentally drop the mag when your holding the gun. Factory mag releases can be ordered directly from Sig or you can find kits on eBay for like $16 if you need another...could always find clearance grip modules and buy them just harvest the mag buttons from them. Turn the module into a silly flashlight holder or something
  2. So I’ve probably mentioned here or on another Legion post about why not make a FrankenX5 if you don’t want the LCI. Well my module came today and I put my gun together and did a weigh-in. I have a previous gen X5 with a slide cut for a DPP, I made a custom mag catch button thanks to a post on here, and added a *thumb rest [generic]* since it’s legal and why not? With a 21rd mag and TTI baseplate, I weigh in at 44.8 ounces. If I use a 17rd with a TTI +5 it pushes me up to 45.4 ounces.
  3. If you buy a legion and have a previous X5 why not just build a Frankenstein X5?
  4. Didn't somebody mention they stopped using this barrel on the legion? I'm just waiting for SWFA to get TXG modules in so I can convert my X5 into a legion Already have DPP cut.
  5. I just replied to this and realized I'm dumb and replied months ago and can't delete...whoops
  6. I can't imagine the TXG grip module having a tungsten weight instead of steel. Sig offers two different modules, one with the weight and magwell, and one that's just the grip module without weight and magwell. There's a $50 difference between the two. No way that a tungsten slug for the grip was cut down to only a $50 difference, well unless Sig got crafty with cost effectiveness and manufacturing? I mean hell SSI had the tungsten slug alone for like $200. I heard in the video where he says the tungsten weight in the grip but I think he's just referring to the powder infusion that creates the module itself now.
  7. I was waiting for them to post it because they said it would be here today. On the list but nothing. I ended up just back ordering from SWFA. They're $3 more than Osage but at least like Osage, they're about $50 cheaper than Sig direct.
  8. It worked a few hours ago. I don’t think it was supposed to go live yet and someone screwed up so they took it down.
  9. I did the same thing, except I got a CMC trigger and haven't a single issue since I got it. My Elftmann had tons of failure to reset problems - at first it was intermittent, then it was once every 8-10 rounds. They told me to reinstall it following the instructions included with the trigger and to readjust the set screws, that didn't help at all. They sent me a new one and it went on eBay the day it arrived.
  10. Funny you mention this, I called Sig today asking about the Legion module. They're taking back orders. $299 for the module with weight and controls (I assume just the mag release) or $249 for the module with no weight or controls. I'm assuming the weight in the grip is the same that's in the original X5 grip module. I'd imagine it comes with a magwell. Those are Sig direct prices, so the prices on Osage reflect better retail pricing and go along with what I was told.
  11. 2.5 MOA, I love it. I’ve looked at the triangle version but never actually shot a gun with it.
  12. Although they're on the more expensive side, I'd recommend just getting the Deltapoint Pro IMO.
  13. If you have a previous X5, couldn’t you just swap out the barrel into the legion slide or get a bar-sto fitted? honestly, I got my slide cut for a dpp and am just anxiously waiting for the grip module
  14. So that’s running as open because of the magwell with the dot, right? Does this mean you could pull the magwell, add a tungsten rod to be crazy, and just make weight for CO?
  15. The Legion X5 trigger is already lightened compared to the previous model, so I'm curious how the GGI trigger will affect the newest model.
  16. You can buy whole X5 slide assembly online for like $500 but another $100+ or so and you get the whole gun. This slide also isn't compatible with the X5 bull barrel (I asked on IG and Sig replied saying no). This is aimed specifically at standard P320s. Kinda looks like competition for all the crazy G17 and G19 slides that are all tacticool.
  17. I have 2.5 MOA dot version
  18. The only thing you wouldn’t be able to run mostly likely is a tungsten guide rod but if the frame is already full of it you don’t really need to. So I agree, I think it’ll just make it for CO once that magwell is removed.
  19. This wasn’t an adapter, it was a cut in the slide to accommodate the length of the DPP since the screw footprint matches the Romeo 1 however if you check their website I believe they do an RMR conversion.
  20. George, I think you should patent this now and sell it to Sig for the next X5
  21. How deep did you drill down? You can't just go a 1/4" and call it a day. You have to go a good 3/8-1/2" down so that the tap can get deep enough to start making threads or else only the tapered section/tip of the tap will go in and then bottom out where you stopped and do a bunch of nothing.
  22. The SI mag release had a very VERY snug fit in my frame, it wouldn't move freely at all so I would've had to file/sand down the catch to make it fit better if I kept it. Like I mentioned, it would've been nice because I only would have needed a longer screw, but I have all tools at work to drilling and tapping so it worked out just as well.
