Sig0431 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Since there are no Tungsten guide rods that I can find for the P320, I wonder if it is possible to order the X5 version and trim it slightly to fit the P320 Full Size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownSunshine Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Springer offers this when you order the X5 Tungsten rod. Just check the box and they will trim it down to fit the Full Size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ck867 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Has anyone used this in their gun and can make weight still to be production legal? If so, which magazine basepad are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, which magazine basepad are you using? Running P320 X5 ... I have found .. if you are running the Springer X5 Tungsten guide rod ... AND the Springer competition floor plates (inside mag)... AND the Springer EZ .375" base pads ... YOU WILL be overweight for USPSA production by about 0.15oz. All I did was remove the competition floor plates and replace with stock floor plates. Puts you about 0.20oz under the max weight. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bomadera Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) Interesting the lighter spring weights with the 147 gr. I'm using a 19# with 125 gr. Bayou bullet, 4.2 N320, Springer tungsten guide rod, GrayGuns FCU, with excellent results. I shot my first match today with my 320 X5, this is by far the flattest-shooting, most accurate 9mm I have ever fired. I've never shot that many 'A's before.

CHLChris Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I bought my SP tungsten guide rod when I ordered my X5 holster from Red Hill Tactical. And then I realized I have to wait for the holster before I get the guide rod. Oh well, I can't run the gun until I get the holster... In case it isn't clear, the talk above about making weight is only for Production. The X5, even with a bunch of add-ons like the tungsten guide rod and optic is still about 8-10oz UNDER weight for Carry Optics. In fact, I wish there was another way to ADD weight...

It makes weight in production if you use the appropriate base pads for your magazine. Not much to spare. As for carry optics, plenty of room to spare. However, I have been enjoying the lighter gun when I draw and transition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
