If you are only loading 10-rounds likely you will not have this issue as the round will give when it hits the ejector. With 21 rounds loaded there is little to no give when the round hits the ejector which is what is causing the ejector to bend/ break.

Hi All, I've had this issue with both my standard X-Five and Legion X-Five. My standard X-Five ejector finally snapped off after bending it back down several times. Sent it back to Sig and they had to replace the entire serialized FCU as the ejector is part of the frame. Sig's advice was to not do slide lock reloads and do mag insertions "less aggressively" and only load 20 rounds so the top round would give when coming into contact with the ejector during insertion. They said mine was an isolated incident. This was about 10-12 months ago. Got my Legion X-Five about 3-4 months ago and during my first match using it accidentally started a stage with a half full mag (yeah I know) and went to slide lock. Did a slide lock reload and the ejector up bent up and caused the slide not to go into battery. Got through the stage and bent it back down and finished the match. This happened day one with this gun. Was not happy. Ever since I've been overly careful only loading 20 rounds in mags when I'm training and avoiding slide lock reloads. Well yesterday shooting a steel match I tried to get through a stage without a reload and went to slide lock on the last shot. Did a slide lock reload and finished. Next stage after a planned reload, had a malfunction failure to eject. Cleared it quickly but when I did so could feel the slide catching. After the stage took the slide off and the ejector was gone. It had broken completely off. Now I have to send this one back and get a new serialized FCU again. Sig claims this is not a widespread issue but it definitely is an issue. I have a buddy with a Legion X-Five who shoots competitions and he has had to bend his back several times and sooner or later his will break off. When he called Sig they said he had to pay shipping to send it in and they would bend it back but if it breaks and the entire FCU needs to be replaced he would have to pay. If they tell me that this time, not going to be happy. My mentor knows of 3 other people with variations of p320's that its happened to as well. It's easy to say "don't do slide lock reloads" but the reality is if you shoot enough matches you're going to occasionally do a slide lock reload and a gun designed for competition should be able to withstand an occasional mag insertion from slide lock without breaking. We'll see how Sig handles it this time. Stay tuned.
