bluedevil008 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Has anyone trimmed the tabs off of regular Sig magazines to make them work with the XFive grip? I bought a bunch of 10 rounders for Production use in the commie state, and really don't want to spend another $100+ on base pads right now. Down the road I will, but just wondering if anyone had any issues. I don't mind using one of them as a guinea pig, but tips would be appreciated if anyone has any.

I did the same before I bought baseplates. Super easy to sand off the tabs and they work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman57 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 OK asking a dumb question.... with the SIG 320 X5 is the factory mag well and 21rd mags allowed for CO in USPSA? Thanks G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z40acp Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 No to the factory or any mag well. The mags are allowed as long as they fit the 140 gauge. Some have had to sand the plastic base pad in the back. Springer sells base pads and with grams stuff they hold 23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonJeong Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Ok. So took a seat spring out, cut the other seat spring by two coils, stoned the sear, and bent the trigger return spring. Now it’s braking at 2.5 lbs. I think this is the limit for reliable function. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff O Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 The problem you will have at that weight is the gun will fail to reset the striker - not enough sear tension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f2benny Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Anyone adapted cr speed versa mag pouches to the x5 magazines? Let me know how you did so please. I added rubber washers behind the stock sti insert and it works well. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect its related to the "voluntary recall". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My trigger breaks at 2.5 pounds as well and I run 130 to 132 PF 147gn loads and mine is also flawless. I have about 1,500 rounds though mine now. 1 hour ago, AmarokTactical said: Is there a chance you could just take a stock photo of the sear and mark the areas where you made your modifications? I found a place that had one stock sear left so I ordered it. I think I will just keep it as a spare to allow me to return my pistol to stock if I ever want to. So I can probably just do a video without actually modifying a sear and just show how to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave2179 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I've been eagerly awaiting details of your work, very interested if you are willing to make a vid of the key points. Just in case it helps - pics of untouched factory parts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrydoc Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) Can anyone tell me who makes the straight trigger for the 320? TIA Edited October 23, 2017 by terrydoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfinney Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Gray Guns makes an aftermarket one called a PELT which is similar to the one Sig puts in the X-Five. There is also another couple aftermarket ones made by Apex (the Apex is not Production or CO legal). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff O Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 By the letter of the law the Gray Guns flat trigger is not legal either - the fact that it looks the same does not change the fact that you changed a part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was ruled that because the X5 uses the GG Flat trigger (not the PELT) that it was perfectly legal to use it on a P320. That being said good luck determining the difference between the GG Flat trigger that comes stock in the X5 and the PELT, they only appear different after being removed from the FCU. Also, FWIW, Apex halted sales and recalled their flat trigger earlier this year when the drop test results came out. They only offered me a return for credit towards another Apex product so I won't be sending it back to them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfinney Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 GG states they have approval for their flat trigger in Production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff O Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) That is false. Not a Sig factory part no bueno no matter what GG says. But you're right no one would know if you're good with that. Discussed this with a USPSA official. Edited October 23, 2017 by Jeff O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff O Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I don't care what Gray Guns website says, it is not a Sig Sauer Factory part and it is not f*#king legal, per USPSA official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolex Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) Well- then just make a phone call to USPSA and ask them about the GG trigger- it will either be a yes or no question-- And who's the official you asked?
