It has a flat trigger that is modeled after the trigger style on the Legion SAO. I don't know how the trigger feels. At Shot last year it was likely around 3.5lb or so. I could see a case for having it that light or leaving it around 5.5lb for IPSC competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The internal magwell was designed with Production division in mind. It's very generous. The larger magwell (and the 21 round magazines it ships with) would be great for 3 Gun and similar competition.

alma Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Some more details on the X5 http://soldiersystems.net/2017/01/16/sig-media-range-day-new-for-2017-p320x5-p320-vtac-usa-made-p210/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This X5 looks friggin Awesome ? I think the Target is no more. There is the VTac version now if you want the new grip without the bull Barrel. That's a full size slide with fixed VTac sights. There is also a new Carry model with the new grip that has an adapter plate for the Romeo1. Otherwise it's X5 or bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTuna Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I shot the P320 XFIVE yesterday. All I have to say is wow! I never thought a polymer striker fired gun would feel like a high end steel competition gun. It doesn't move under recoil and the grip feels just right in the hand. The bull barrel really keeps the front end down. Game changer IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really anything new to the industry or revolutionary. Not crapping on the X5 but lets call it what it is, a high(er) priced polymer striker gun with a good trigger. I really want to know the honest street price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrTuna Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Trigger impressions, please.They only gave me a few rounds to shoot it but I liked it a lot. Since there is no plastic safety tab and it's short and crisp it feels very single action. It's supposed to have a MSRP of $1000 and retail from $800-$900. People will have to decide for themselves if they think it's going to be an improvement on what they run. I have never shot a polymer striker fired gun in the $850 range that was anything like it.

alma Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Thanks for the impressions. I think there may still be some minor room for improvement by tossing on a tungsten guide rod. Remember that while the P320 has a polymer grip it's frame (the module that houses the trigger group and rails) is actually stainless steel, so I think it holds some middle ground between the polymer framed and metallic framed guns. The trigger is good out of the box but can still benefit from a trip to Grayguns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BASE772 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I hope Bladetech or other holster manufacture will get on the ball for this model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trigger is good out of the box but can still benefit from a trip to Grayguns. The Grayguns staff showed me their drop in curved and flat triggers. The kit was there but the technical details about sear faces etc was over my head. It's supposed to speed up their in house trigger enhancements.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert King at Red Hill Tactical already has one on order so he will be ready to make holsters early on. Worst case you could send him the slide and grip or I can drive up to his place to make the first batch. That's how I got my first P320 holster in 2014.

z40acp Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 In one post on Benos a person talked about how he used the tungsten guide rod from his 5" M&P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a guy that has a machine shop that can do small batches. The tungsten that he can mill is pretty expensive. It puts the guide rods close to $100 after all is said and done. If was about to get him to do a couple more but now I might hold off and have him do one for the X5 whenever I can get that. In Production division it brings gun just below the maximum weight so you can't run extended base pads or anything but that weight out front makes it worth it.

cheby Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 It looks like the P320 X5 could be an inexpensive Limited gun. Is it possible it would be Production legal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine a tungsten grip weight for 3gun or limited. That would be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
