This is the main reason why you’ll see bosses on adapter plates or cutouts specifically cut for a given brand of red dot. How much of a gap are there on the front and rear of the red dot as it sit in the cutout? Can you post a side and top view pictures? There was about a tenth of a milimeter to the front, and almost a cm to the back. I did put the plate back on. It doesn´t make that huge of a difference.

Besides, there’s not much difference anyway as you stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Hello: I would use the plate if it has locating pins and is tight in the cutout in the slide. The plate will only raise the dot up a little and is not a big deal as some of those out there think it is. I would rather have a secure mounting of the red dot that trusting two small screws to hold it in place. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessy Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 What screws do you need to mount the RMS on the X5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that you can ask shield for the screws. They will send them to you, as far as i know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngineerEli Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) I got my barrel replaced with a non LCI one. It was pretty simple. Took exactly one week from the time it was shipped out to when it was recieved back. I was warned if you handled the shipping yourself, you had to be there to sign for it on return. It could not be redirected to a hub, or rescheduled to a weekend, so I just let my FFL handle the shipping and receiving. He does a lot of transfers for me, so he did it no charge! I was given no specific instructions over the phone, so I sent the whole gun with DPP mounted and one magazine in the factory case, no complaints that I was aware of. First hundred rounds and the optic looks clean. I feel like the new barrel fits a little tighter, may just be in my head though... Side note, sounds like the process all goes much smoother and quickly, if you just call Sig CS, instead of trying to do it via email.

thormx538 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) I need to pop in to the pro shop and see if they can handle the shipping (a whole one town over) to get my LCI barrel swapped. Logistically it would be so easy but I feel like they're gonna tell me to pound sand and basically drive further to a Fed Ex hub to ship it than it would be to go right to the Newington or Exeter facility lol.

zhunter Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) Has anyone used a Apex Trigger Bar with the GG Competition trigger kit? Would it add any extra enhancement as in shorter pre and over travel? Edited October 30, 2019 by zhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhunter Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I come from the CZ platform, so take this question for what it’s worth, but does anyone produce a reduced power trigger bar spring for the P320? Would a reduced power spring aid in lowering trigger pull weight. Sorry if this is a dumb newb question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if this is a dumb newb question Haven’t looked in a while but the only spring you can buy is the one from Gray Guns but it comes in their comp kit. The other alternative I can think of is physically squeezing the coil on the spring or manipulating the legs in to less than 90 degrees when they are not under tension.

I am torn between the $129 GG kit and the $295 Sig Armorer full trigger job (Which of course would entail shipping costs). In the big scheme of things, $170 bucks is not the end of the world if it is in fact a better trigger. The videos I have seen show a MUCH shorter pre and over travel for the Burke (Sig Armorer) trigger, but possibly a bit heavier trigger pull. I ride the trigger and am prone to trigger freeze on hoser stages, so shorter travel is a big thing for me. Decisions Decisions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy the springs by themselves from Osage (out of stock), or Shooter's Connection used to have them too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My regular X5 has the full Burke treatment and the Legion has the GG kit. As far is which is “nicer”, I think the Burke trigger is a tiny better. Obviously this is subjective. Yes it has less take up and the break has a snap to it. The GG kit to me feels just like a lighter stock Legion trigger with much less over travel.

Aircooled6racer Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Hello: I went with the Gray Guns trigger since I like a curved trigger. The more I shoot it the lighter it gets. I took out the overtravel sleeve since I like a little more overtravel. It makes it feel closer to more 2011's with around a 1/16" overtravel.

m700 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I still cant dryfire my sig with GG kit, but it functions perfectly for me at the range. Should I send it out? Whom should I send it to The 2 problems I have are that i get light primer strikes when the gun is in a novice's hands. I thought it was perhaps that my spring is light and they limp wrist the gun and rounds may not be seeting correctly but im not. And the lack of dryfire.

Tango Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 This question may not belong here, but here it is anyways: i wrapped my x5 grip with multiple layers of grip tape to add thickness, and it really works well for me. Below is a picture. Is this gun still legal for carry optics division?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Hello: I have not had any problems with the TTI base pads at all. I am not sure how a base pad causes a double feed problem? I can see it if the magazine spring is bad but I am using the TTI base pads with stock springs and followers as well as Grams spring and followers and they run 100%. Could it be that the grip tape you added is deforming the grip? Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Eric i dont think the grip can flex so much with adding tape, to me the issue seems to be the mags are too tight when adding the +2 (23 rounds total) and the feedlips allow a bullet to slip into the chamber because of excessive pressure the mags are extremely tight if I put 23 rounds in them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
