Rudukai13 Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 Ask and ye shall receive. Keep in mind the Bar-Sto barrel hasn't been fitted yet, so some of the difference in the barrel hood is excess material that will need to be removed; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if i dint need some other project to spend my money on In my limited experience combined with a lot of the other information I've read, when you're talking about polymer framed pistols either/or a compensator or red dot is good and helpful on its own but the benefit is increased exponentially when you combine them. If you can add a flashlight on the accessory rail for a little extra nose weight as I've done, it really is the ultimate combination for increasing speed and accuracy on any 4" barreled Glock-like pistol. I highly suggest giving the whole trifecta a try when you're able to afford it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudukai13 Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 At the moment though I am actually also considering trying one of Faxon's new threaded barrels with the SP compensator; http://faxonfirearms.com/sig-p320-compact-flame-fluted-barrel-9mm-416-r-nitride-threaded-tin-coated/ TiN coated, 1/2x28 threading, fluting...Hmm...It would look quite nice showing through the slide cutout on the X-Carry... Anyone have any thoughts? I'll definitely be getting the Bar-Sto barrel fitted as well, I just may not loctite the comp down until I have a chance to try out this other option as well...

I did order the "shorty" minor PF two-port comp rather than the larger "open" three-port comp, as the smaller is stated to function best with most factory loads. Either way I do intend to shoot primarily factory loaded +P and +P+ rounds, since I know the compensator will work best with as much gas pushing through it as possible Straight stock striker spring and recoil spring mine runs like shit. Lol. To work the comp it needs gas. I’m going to eventually tinker with striker and recoil spring combos to get it to run with light loads.

Rudukai13 Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 For anyone interested in a setup like this, I do highly suggest taking a look at the Roland Special thread over on AR15.com (sorry BEnos, gonna link to a different forum here but only as a fantastic resource for the topic at hand!); https://www.ar15.com/forums/handguns/Official-Roland-Special-Glock-Thread-Also-faux-land-Fo-land-Carry-Comps/13-167712/ 26 pages of discussion on various setups, spring weights, loads, etc. Fairly specific to Glocks but it will give a good base of information that can be applied to other polymer/striker platforms as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudukai13 Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 The pistol now has a new home in a Pelican iM3100 case. This is generally a bit large for handgun use, but I wanted something with enough room to store a lot of magazines plus additional grip modules and slide assemblies that I acquire all in one place. This will be plenty large enough for that; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonesomeDuck Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I'm jealous, nice work! Take videos for us at the range. I just spent about 3 hours window shopping for the same pistol and it's acessories. Then I realized that micro stamping regulations were going to crush my dreams. I don't think the box is too big.That little guy has freedom to manifest his destiny. Or maybe room for a lefty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudukai13 Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 Old picture from before dropping the pistol off with the 'smith, trying out one of the options for concealing this beast.

Rudukai13 Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 One thing to point out with that PMM "X-Comp" - Because they used the factory threaded barrel (that sticks out waaaay past the front of the slide), they were only able to make a single-port comp while maintaining a relatively compact package. With the Bar-Sto compensator-specific threaded barrel and Springer's two-port compensator, my build should end up about the same overall size while having even more effective compensation...

Rudukai13 Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 I actually purchased the magwell from another member on here who had removed it from their X-Five to make it legal for Production/Carry Optics division. Sig did say they should be starting to sell the magwells individually some time this summer. I'm a lefty too, so I understand your anxiety regarding finding holsters. What kind of holster are you looking for? I can probably point you in the right direction as a starting point at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
