AmarokTactical Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 While I can see the use of powder being okay for some things, I don't think it would fit with what I am looking to do. The cube's I am looking at are a density of 17.5g/cc versus roughly 10g/cc for most tungsten powders depending on the quality/price of it. When trying to add 8 ounces to the grip, I can't imagine that adding nearly double the powder would be the most effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gviz Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) Just ordered the tungsten guide rod from springer. And the tungsten grip module grip from Shooters Innovations. I’m hoping for big improvements and big hopes that it shoots softer and shoots flat. Edited August 2, 2018 by Gviz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newt Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I got a chance to handle a X-5 yesterday at the LGS. The trigger pull was noticeably different from my 320C RX. Does the flat trigger make that much difference? Newt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GG trigger kit improves it alot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gviz Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 (edited) Got in the mail the tungsten guide rod this thing is heavy really feel the weight up front. Opened the box for the tungsten grip module and it wasn’t what I expected I was so used to the aggressive silicone carbine and feel that it needed more grip for my liking... and it did not include the tungsten slug I might have mis read that on the description hahaha swapped everything from my old grip including the stock slug. going to shoot this on Sunday And will order the tungsten slug right now ...

I'm using the 13# Wolff that Springer Precision sells along with the tungsten guide rod. Shooting 147 jacketed at that PF (130-135). Mine is straight; not variable. I've seen a lot of posts with people using 12# to 14# springs for similar PF with this gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudukai13 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Someone is making a P320 grip module out of tungsten? Is that what I'm understanding here? Good god gentlemen, someone provide us a link please?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, is the grip module itself made of tungsten, or just a polymer grip module that they've added a bunch of tungsten into...?

I imagine that if you use approximately the same for the plate things will be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDRNorth Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Thanks for the info. I just put blue loctite on the screws and tightened them down. I couldn't get a bit, from my torque driver, on one of the screws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the tungsten grip module that would be $499, tungsten slug $250 and tungsten guide rod $100 so that’s $850. Why spend $2000? You are already up there in weight with the tungsten bits. $850 is already a hard pill to swallow why spend 2x more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shot it last Sunday with everything suggested by ssi. forgot to order the slug ( I thought it already came with the grip) but the extra weight of the grip plus the tungsten guide rod wow you are right @Shadyscott999 it already shoots better. I ordered the slug and it’s on its way, I’m excited to see how it feels! Would make the pistol’s balance more neutral. Now in its present confirmation it’s very front heavy.

How much weight is added to the grip alone. i.e. no slug; just the bare grip.? And is the slug heavier than the stock Sig weight?

On the website From SSI they say it’s 7oz on the frame plus the tungsten slug would be 3.5oz then the tungsten guide rod I need to weigh that since my scale maxed out when I tried to check. i ordered a bigger scale to see exactly where I am. But with all the recommended add ons they made 43++oz Edited August 7, 2018 by Gviz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
