EAA was showing this particular model in their booth during this year's ShotShow and the rep I was talking to told me they will try to import this model as soon as this summer. Now that being said, how much of this is actually going to happen I have no idea but I am waiting to get my hands on one as soon as they are available.

Personally, I am waiting on the Optics Ready version of the Stock II which iirc during this year's Shotshow the EAA rep said it is suppose to start importing into the US around summer. It promised to have interchangeable adapter plates for different reddots and make weight for USPSA CO but we'll need to wait and see what end up happening.

Federal 150gr TSJ Syntech load is my go to factory load for big uspsa/idpa matches. The 150 TSJ load sits right at 130PF out of my X5 and probably have the least felt recoil out of all the factory load I've shot so far. Since I only shoots action pistol matches, can't really comment on accuracy or group sizes at distance but for uspsa/idpa it is accurate enough.

Compare them in their stock configuration, the X5 is a little better but not by much. The heavier weight and bigger grip makes overall balance and recoil control better. Both have good potential for aftermarket improvement but you would spent less money to improve the X5 compare to a G34.

Excellent work man. Didn't realize how big and long the Romeo 3 until seeing this post.

Shooting Stock2 in Prod and X5 in CO both are excellent pistol. My stock 2 do have better trigger and shoot flatter but I really don't feel the difference in trigger and recoil when shooting a match. It in slow fire training section I can feel the difference.

MemphisMechanic has a great video series that is very informative on complete disassembly and reassembly. Although its on a stock 3 but the internals are almost exactly the same as a stock 2. Those videos also teaches you where to polish to get your gun running as smooth as possible. Here's the link to the first one https://youtu.be/2tf_jmfLzq0

Have you tried to polish your FPB engagement surface and firing pin? I have almost the same setup in a PD tuned Stock 2 but with a titan hammer and will not ignite reliably anything mentioned on your post expect federal. After about 3k through it, it seems to work it self out and somewhat reliably ignite Blazer and S&B but still only run Federal TSJ in matches for reliability.
