The magazines are actually 140mm tubes so the base pads have a built in sleeve versus extending the length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngineerEli Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Will the gun fit in the production box with the provided 140 magazines? And I guess mag well removed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKnoch Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Will the gun fit in the production box with the provided 140 magazines? And I guess mag well removed...I can measure my 320 with my springer extension, this afternoon, to get a guess. I would doubt that it would though, probably have to use 17 round mags. I know my 226 wont fit the box with those mecgar +2 extensionsDaniel K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngineerEli Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 That would be pretty annoying that after including 4 of the extended mags with the gun, you would have to go out and buy all new mags just to shoot Production... Its like they are more marketing the gun as a limited minor, or 3-Gun pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKnoch Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 3.9" and no adjustable rear sight. No thanks. Eli I agree, i have 17 round mags, so if/when I get the X5, I'd possibly sell the mags that came with it. I havent shot 3 gun since i started uspsa, and limited minor is of little interest to anyone. They should make it come with 17 round mags and springer base pads from the factory, that'd be better for uspsa shooters. But like all other guns, the majority of consumers will probably be Tactical Timmies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they will offer the gun with 4 standard 17-rd mags as an option. If it's to be used for Production or CO (after approval), the magwell can come off, but the mags will still be too long.

gavagai Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) I don't think CO has a size restriction, and it has a 141.25 mm mag length max, at least from my web search results. Maybe not current. One of the few advantages of old eyes. CO appendix Strange to hobble it for Prod though. Maybe they know about a forthcoming rule change that we don't.

I was thinking max gun size was one of the Production limitations imposed on CO, but it's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick179 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Just got hands on the P320 X5 and it's awesome. It's definitely a modular hybrid. Would make an awesome 3gun pistol with the magwell and Romeo1 and a pretty bada$$ upgrade to the P320 for USPSA production or in 40 for limited.

gavagai Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Anyone know if there are going to be multiple X grip sizes, or is it one size fits all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandw1dth Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Anyone know if there are going to be multiple X grip sizes, or is it one size fits all?I'm assuming your referring to the grip width I.E. small, medium, large. I believe I remember reading something about removable grip panels with different texturing so maybe you'd be able to swap the included grip panels for larger or smaller ones to give you that just right feel.

From what ive seen in videos and pictures it looks like they took that feature out. The grip appears to be a one size fits all scheme as it currently stands.

polymerfeelsweirdman Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I thought I heard that in one of the videos it mentioned that it was a medium X frame grip or something like that implying more sizes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they do. I guess they would be more expensive than regular 320 grip modules, both for manufacturing and also marketing reasons, but I personally wouldn't quibble over that considering the flexibility they would offer. Thanks for the tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgrabow Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 So if you change grip modules, the serial number stays put somewhere on the remaining chassis, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the chassis is the only serialized part of the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
