Gman57 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Just got my 320X5 set up with the Shield RMS. Just needed to chase the threads with a tap to clean them out. Locktite and snugged up the sight to the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De-c-o-y Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Can someone help me understand the benefits of changing out the guide rod and what kind of spring pounds I should be looking for if I want my X5 to be a flat shooter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f2benny Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Can someone help me understand the benefits of changing out the guide rod and what kind of spring pounds I should be looking for if I want my X5 to be a flat shooter?I found my x5 was so over sprung it wouldn't run at all with factory ammo or my reloads of soft 147 loads.

I went to the 1911 guide rod and a 13lb spring for my reloads. The stock spring would not fire more than one of my reloads without a stovepipe.

De-c-o-y Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Maybe I just got a good one then. I'm not having any problems with this gun cycling shells. I'm just entering my first 3 gun competition this month so i'm looking for ways to give myself the best chance to perform well, like reducing the recoil. I saw that some people were swapping out the guide rod and the springs and I wasn't sure why. I do think my X5 is shooting low and I need to adjust the rear sights.

I had to move it 8 clicks. Funny but I have never had to adjust sights on any new gun I bought except the last two Sigs I purchased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alma Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 FYI, SIG has a 6MOA Romeo1 now. It looks really bright in the pictures. It's in retail packaging, listed on Optics Planet, and should ship after Shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHLChris Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I just tonight looked it up on OP and didn't see a thing. My 3moa is not quite enough to reach out and GRAB my eyeball during quick shooting. I cant wait for the 6moa version! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people say that it goes from mid 5 to mid 6, but Bruce Gray of Gray guns, said the average was around mid 7 for most that come through their shop.

Mine was 5 lbs 5 oz straight out of the box. Detail stripped, cleaned and lubed it lowered to 4 lbs 8 oz. (Lyman gauge pulled from bottom of straight trigger) That is high compared to my Apex'd M&P which is a little under 3 lbs. I thought it would be an issue but it is not as big a deal as I had assumed. It certainly doesn't feel a pound and a half heavier. Edited February 15, 2018 by ddc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GJ710 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Has this happened to anyone? Screw above extractor spring that mounts the rear sight plate seemed to have loosen. Head of extractor pin is now blocked by loosened screw. The extractor spring still has enough clearance to move but when trying to pull the whole pin/spring out, the metal piece in the front that sits behind the extractor will get stuck when the front of the pin reaches the rear sight plate screw. I have a springer mounting plate on top with a Leupold DPP. If anyone can help, would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
