dansedgli Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Mine was the same with a 14lb spring. I got better results with the stock spring and guide rod. The tungsten guide rod didn't seem to do it and that is running lighter springs. I liked the feel of the 11lb the best. Here is another x5 video. My last because I've sold it.

A crack that radiated out from the elevation screw developed after about 5000 rounds. I've since replaced the broken one and got another to have as a spare. I also switched to a shorter front sight so I could run the rear a little lower and not have it bounce as much. So, all that said I think it might be a good idea to have an extra rear sight plate/assembly around. I had a very similar problem with my rear sight. One of the "wings" of the flathead screw fractured completely off. Then last week on my other X5 the entire top half of the rear sight notch assembly (the portion that moves laterally) disappeared. I'm wondering if that assembly is manufactured in two parts? The bottom half which interfaces with the windage screw is what remained. It almost looked like someone to a mill to the top of the rear sight and ground it down about half way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrydoc Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Hasn't been happy with the X5 chamber on the 2 He has had, He's one of those guy's that it doesn't really matter what gun He picks up he shoots them well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thormx538 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Has anyone mixed tungsten powder and epoxy and filled in the picatinny rail slots for some extra weight up front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would not be allowed in Carry Optics or Production. If you want some more forward weight, a tungsten guide rod does a good job of balancing out the X5.

DCSigCZ Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 What lower height front sight have you guys used successfully? Please provide both total height sight and height of the sight above the slide when installed, if possible. Also, if you have the part numbers of your front sights that allowed you to screw down your rear adjustable sight, that would bemost helpful. Note - I ask for both dimensions because I love Dawson FO sights, but I have had several sights come to me much too high when I used their standard measurement of “measure from the top of the slide to the top of the sight” method. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually thinking of doing it in terms of Limited for a .40 top end for my X5 frame, but that's a valid point that I'd need to get a second grip module instead of just another slide.

I use a broken TLR-1 that I cut brass rods to the same dimensions as Cr-123 batts. That with the SSI grip and weight and springer tungsten guide rod make my limited gun nearly 50oz. I got a holster that accepts the light from RHF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalutter Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Wondering if anyone has any news when the P320 X5 Legion will be approved for Production/Carry Optics? Is it legal to use the Legion grip module with a standard X5 slide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
be032 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 CO, yes, production, not until they add to the list, unless you find a way to cut 5 oz off of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TriggerT Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) I just picked up a Sig X5 (not he Legion) with the bead blasted (silver) slide and black grip, which was the combination I really liked, for $730.00 out the door from a local shop. That is as good of a deal as I have been able to track down, and the color combination I wanted is particularly tough to find a at decent price. YMMV Edited July 14, 2019 by TriggerT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was the aftermarket Gray Guns spring and had been removed and reassembled several times. In 20k rounds, have you noticed any difference in accuracy? My past experiences with plastic guns has been that accuracy got worse, with the more I shot them. I only have about 1K on my "backup" and maybe 2-3k on my primary, and with loads they prefer, still group about an inch, at 25 yards. I've never shot an all metal gun enough to lose accuracy, with the exception of one AR15 that lost the first 6" of it's rifling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The data you provided, along with confirmation that several other folks are using that sight successfully, is just what I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalutter Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Just wanted to pass along that per DNROI the X5 Legion is not legal for Production or Carry Optics until it is approved. It should be approved shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I have not been around the Legion series in a few years. Has the PVD problem been solved? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmarokTactical Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Does anyone know what they changed the mounting screw to on the X5 Legion? The screws that I mount my Romeo's on my other P320's do not work with this slide! To top it off I am a lefty and the slide release on the right side of this pistol does not release the slide....

It now use M4 x .7 screws since it’s cut for the DPP. It’s the same with the M17 320. If you plan to use a Romeo 1, enlarge the hole on the Romeo 1 using a 4mm drill bit or else the M4 x .7 screws won’t fit through the stock holes of the Romeo 1 (they’re drilled for the 6-48 screws).

jalutter Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I just checked and USPSA has added the X5 Legion to the Production list. P320 X-5 9mm 5 inch, no magwell (33.5 oz.) P320 X5 Legion (magwell not allowed, weight is without magwell) (41.7 oz.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For production, I think you have to wait for the weight to be "updated" on the approved gun list. Mix and matching parts should be good to go for CO as long as you stay under the weight limit. And no, the pvd finish in the X5 legion is not that great. It scratches pretty easily. But who cares if it's being used in competition, it's a stainless slide underneath.

Have you found a good source for these and what style of screws did you get? I figured home depot or somewhere similar would have some but they generally don't carry higher quality screws of that size and I don't know if I want to trust soft stainless screws of that size.

George16 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I used to by all my metric bolts, screws and set screws from boltdepot.com. I used the black oxide 12.9 hardness socket cap screws. You can buy them individually for about $0.11 apiece but shipping will be expensive They also sell their screws by packs or boxes of hundreds. I used them them a lot when I was still racing with RC trucks so I just bought them by the hundreds. You'll need the: M4 x .7 12mm long socket cap screws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akkid17 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I'm guessing 12mm is for the DPP, does anyone have a length for the Romeo1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
