If it gets very dirty after 100 rounds that means I will have to clean it quite often on live fire practice day.

I personally do not think the existence of the notch is significant. It is pretty much blocked by the brass until the brass gets ejected and once the brass is gone, the mouth/ chamber is wide open. There might be some leak through the notch but I do not think it is significant enough to make a quantitative difference within the duration of slide cycling. Just my thought. That explains all the black crap that accumulated on my DPP glass on the legion. Had to scrub for a while to get it out. Never happened with my older X5s. About 3k through my legion so far.

Trade it for an AR15 plus cash from Rolex so he can have his legion. Then we can do comparative tests against my old X5 with the tungsten grip. @Rolex, did you call Sig Pro Shop yet? Good luck.

Thanks, Eric I have 3 10rd mags that are factory dimpled in the 17rd tube that fit the x-carry grip (essentially the x-five grip with a shorter rail and no magwell). I bought a NY state X-Carry off gunbroker and I don’t need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is probably the lowest I have seen published as far as I can remember. Where on the trigger are you pulling from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where on the trigger are you pulling from? Right were my finger rest during normal grip, just below the center of the straight trigger. It is so close you can pretty much call it center. That is the best it's been! When I cleaned it I took the FCU out and cleaned with CLP and a small brush, then wiped it down with micro fiber cloth, I then took a brass pick and worked a small amount of Lucas Gun Grease between the tigger bar and the side of the FCU, did the same where the sear sits in the FCU. I can't say for sure but I'm thinking that the grease made a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) Hey there, new forum member here. I have an X5 with tungsten grip (not the legion, just a replacement grip). I am having trouble depressing the mag release button, especially when doing quick reloads during competition. First, the button feels too stiff. Secondly, and more importantly in my opinion, the other side of the button (that protrudes from the right side when the button is depressed) hits my middle finger if I dont break my grip. Basically, my thumb and middle finger are pushing in opposite directions when I am dropping a mag. Ultimately my thumb wins, but this caused me to lose several seconds in a few classifiers, which made me quite angry. Anybody who had similar issues, and suggestions for a remedy?

Posvar Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I had a similar problem until I bought the Springer extended magazine release. The stock configuration makes you have to push pretty hard to get the button to work. Once you put the extended in you have to depress it much less abd the magazine will drop free without interference on the other side. At least that’s what has worked for me.

alma Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 The Springer Precision extended magazine releases are slicker than the stock magazine release. This seems to especially help on the tungsten grips which seem to want to grab metal, I assume because of the embedded tungsten. I have also tried some light polishing inside the magazine release area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddc Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I haven't had the interference problem you describe on the X5 but have had it on another gun. Very annoying and performance hindering. I did replace the mag release with the Springer extended and am happy I did. It is much easier to reach and depress the release without rotating my grip. I really like it; wouldn't want to shoot without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Thank you all, i have the springer extended mag release ordered. I will see how it works and i report back here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George16 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) I drilled and tapped the mag release and installed my spare shadow 2 mag release pad on mine. It was on my old X5 and just transferred everything to the tungsten grip module. I also had to run a crocus cloth on the mag release to smoothen the surface a bit.

George16, how do you like that modified *thumb rest [generic]*? I assume it is CO legal at USPSA, but how about IDPA?

RH45 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I had a pair of xfives that were set up the same. Gray trigger kit, Springer, tungsten guide rod, and grip tape, Romeo 1 with 6MOA dot. I bought a Legion grip, and it's definitely heavier than the regular xfive grip. I was hoping, with the heavier gun, the dot would stay in the lens, like my open guns. I went to the range, this morning, with both guns, and ran a few drills. I didn't see much, if any difference in the dot leaving the window, and according to my timer, pretty much the same times for both guns. I believe the Legion grip sticks to my hand as well, or better, than the standard grip, with grip tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
