Anyone here ever heard the Johnny Cash song "One piece at a time" The story goes he was a worker at the Cadillac factory and wanted a Caddy so bad and could not afford one, so over the years he stole a part here and there and with a mish mash of parts he built his own caddy.
Well, I wouldn't steal stuff and couldn't afford / justify a Tanfo Gold Team, so rather than set my aspirations on open division I thought I'd take the less costly route and I'd go limited and got a new Limited Custom in .40. I figured with the LC I could build the equivalent of the GT over time, or if the finance stars aligned I could buy the real deal.
First I found the magwell... no easy task nowadays, they seemed scarcer than hen's teeth. Later on I saw the GT grips at EAA on sale... getting close, maybe I wouldn't have to spring for a whole GT if I found an upper. Then one day, WOW I stumbled onto a NIB complete V12 slide. In the end, I didn't save a bunch of bucks maybe $200 +/- but I'm able to shoot two divisions with the same frame. If I had held out for a GT I'd only be able to shoot one division!
The .38 super slide from my Lim pro also fits the frame but I'll not be starting up with super again any time soon.

What of mag extensions are you running with the magwell? I have the Hennings and for some reason my stock magwell wont work with them.

Same for me, except I just got a 9mm barrel and threw it in my 40 slide and it works great.
I will be getting one of these slides for CO, but for now my 40 slide is working fine with the PD 9mm barrel.
This is kind of a game changer for me. Did you get one from PD and fit it yourself?

Are you using his base pads or another brand? Thanks

Henning basepads also fit Floyd's magwell. I believe the Blueline +3's do!

You could always buy a fullsize 320 in .40 and add a legion grip module to it.
I have done this!
I bought a CPO P320 40 in full size, a Springer Precision tungsten guide rod and used my OG X5 frame with Gray Guns trigger - and this was before I got the TXG module.
I bought the TXG module and played around with my "poor man's LimMaj" setup... pretty damn sweet!
I think adding a Dawson fiber front sight, a lighter recoil spring, and the GoGuns USA *thumb rest [generic]* can definitely take it to the max. I have a Tanfo Limited 40 that I am playing with now, otherwise I'd put more time into the Poor Man's LimMaj P320 setup.

XTG Module
in Sig
I have the Legion grip module on my previous gen X5. Weight feels great, but I like a super tacky/grippy grip, so I have some Talon sandpaper grips on it.
For me, I can feel a difference, but as most said, it is probably not a necessity. You can play with guide rods and recoil spring weights and master you grip for a lot cheaper, THEN if you must, buy the grip module.
I'm a tinkerer, so I figured I'd play around with the module and see what all the fuss is about! lol

Which base pads do you recommend?
If you have the Legion x5, get some Henning +6 extensions with the Grams followers. They will make your 17rd mags into 23 reloadable. I can fit 23 now, but 22 is pretty comfortable. Plus, the extension gives you a little more "meat" to grab onto when going for a reload.

Next mistake was shooting IDPA for so long before jumping into USPSA.
All of this lol. USPSA actually actually made me even better in IDPA.

The 21rdrs could work if you get the Springer plates to fill the 140mm gauge.
Since you have the 17rdrs, I would just get Henning +6 basepads. Fast shipping and having 69rds on your belt should be plenty.

Depending on who you squad up with, you'll see more experienced shooters and RO's go quick with the commands after completing a stage. There are no bonus points for unloading your gun quickly.
Take your time through the RO's commands. If you aren't sure what he/she said, ask them to repeat it, and be diligent in your actions.

Grab an X5 (not the legion) and a small grip frame
-
Recent additions are chalk/hand grip stuff, wipes (regular wipes to clean off the chalk and Lead-off), and a pair of Mechanix gloves to help with tear down in both indoor/outdoor matches.
A huge add-on was a rolling cart/wagon for the outdoor matches! But make sure you get the one with the fatter wheels lol.

I had ghosts as my first competition mag pouches (also ran bullets-out). For the cost, they were great for what they were, but alot of little pieces to get in sync. I now run Guga Ribas.

Does anyone know if the legion x5 will fit sig 320 x5 holsters or will it need a new, different holster?
The dimensions look the same, so they should fit!

Hello from Atlanta Proper! Fellow lurker here and happy to come out of the woodworks lol!
Two X5's: Mix slides and FCUs or not?

No issue, but while you are setting up the back up I'd do a carbide grip on it to be consistent.
