Rudukai13 Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 Future EDC <- -> Current EDC. “You’re not really going to carry a full-on Open gun for EDC CCW, are you?” Yes, yes I am. “But why?!” Because I finally can. Thanks to the inevitable intersection and availability of high-quality concealment holsters, rugged miniaturized pistol red dot sights, precision match-grade aftermarket component support, and the boringly reliable modular core architecture of the P320 platform, the dividing line between the absolute optimal performance configuration for any handgun and what is practical to conceal and carry on a daily basis is about to be obliterated. This is not a race gun. This is the next evolution of the modern fighting pistol. This is the EVO320 project; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudukai13 Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 Getting excited for the quarantine order here in Colorado to expire at the end of this week - Range time and delivering the EVO320 to my gunsmith for final assembly are coming soon!

thormx538 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I'm curious to see how the optic mount works, re: ejection and maintaining zero. It's basically an Open P320. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlightMurse Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I finally was able to catch up on this thread from start to finish and I am so thankful for the amount of information here! After being absolutely anti-320 since it came out I made the mistake of picking up a p365 and realizing they are engineering marvels. Next up was a p320 pro carry, which I am currently using your thread as an inspiration for. I am anxiously awaiting your report on the accuracy of the killer innovation barrel vs the bar sto. I was planning on picking up an x5 legion for my range gun, but why not dump those funds into one of these monsters you have created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudukai13 Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 Ejection shouldn’t be an issue whatsoever, the rearmost part of the optic mount is nearly a full inch forward of the front of the ejection port with the slide locked to the rear (pic attached). While this particular gun is not intended for competition use, the lessons learned can be directly applied to a dedicated Open P320 build. It’s now well within the realm of possibility to have a P320 Open pistol without having to get any extremely expensive one-off custom parts made, as the Atlas Gunworks 2011 optic mount is the perfect dimensions for the P320 and the ACE320 grip module will be a solid mounting platform to retain zero. Just add whatever length compensated slide assembly you desire and you’re off to the races Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudukai13 Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 After a lengthy delay I’ll be getting the EVO320 to my gunsmith this week for installation of the optic mount, which will make it functional. I’ve got a couple additional parts to add after that before it’s completely finished, but at least it will be in a shootable condition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudukai13 Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 The EVO320 is in the hands of my gunsmith, and now the waiting begins. My brother took the opportunity to get his R1P mounted up to his M18 and zeroed as well, which for now means his build is finished - For now...

Since there won’t be any iron sights or an optic on the EVO320 slide to catch on a belt or obstacle for one-handed manipulations, I figured it would be a good idea to add something that can be used as a ledge to cycle the slide. It will be drastically reduced in size to make it much more suitable for carry, but the principle and use will remain the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudukai13 Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 So, umm...How’s the weather where y’all are at? I swear I’m not getting impatient about getting the EVO320 back. Nope. Not at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the shoulder thing that goes up. In all seriousness, I've enjoyed watching the different revisions - very cool, and gives me a slightly unhealthy(from a financial standpoint) itch to move to a more modular platform.

Rudukai13 Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 I highly recommend it if you have the means, it’s a very fun addiction! Especially as it relates to the P320 platform specifically, the aftermarket support is exploding as manufacturers start to realize how popular the platform is and that it’s going to be around for a long time with Mil/LEO adoptions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmleenz Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Just read your build(s) thread. Wow... Very relevant and detailed information...thank you for that! You seem like an OCD guy when it comes to your blasters and I mean that in a good way! These really are modular marvels. I have a couple p320 builds going on myself that Ill share when complete. One for open and one for EDC. I don't have the cajones to stuff an open gun in my trousers though. I already feel the naked xcarry with irons is cumbersome IWB. Don't know how the hell you carry that rig man! Anyways...thanks for the inspiration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll be a bit of trial and error to conceal the frame-mounted RDS pistol comfortably, but I’m confident I’ll get it figured out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmleenz Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I have their modified grip module and brass magwell on the way (this will be the grip module for my Open + Limited blaster) but I chose to do the fitment/epoxy work myself so I can custom fit it to my hand. Scott said they use Devcon 5-minute epoxy so that is what I'll be using. Have you experienced any movement or fitment issues with yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None whatsoever, they’ve both been rock solid since the day I got them. I did have SP do the installation work on my grip modules, but if you have the tools and technical knowledge to do it yourself I don’t see any reason why not to give it a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudukai13 Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 In true fashion to the saying “idle hands are the devil’s workshop”, while the EVO320 is out getting some plastic surgery (metal surgery?) from my ‘smith, I’ve been thinking about different things I could do with this spare FDE grip module I’ve had for a while now. I’m leaning towards the possibility of a RS320 Mini, using a X-Compact as the starting point and utilizing the Parker Mountain Machine Micro compensator. When added to the 3.6” X-Compact slide, the PMM Micro compensator creates an overall length that’s flush with the Compact dustcover: https://www.parkermountainmachine.com/store/p417/PMM_P320__Micro_JTTC_and_Barrel_Combo_.html Curse this fantastically modular and modifiable platform...I am never gonna financially recover from this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudukai13 Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 Returning to the range today after a long hiatus! I’ll be pumping up the round count through RS320B mainly, as it assumes the role of designated range/practice pistol. The EVO320 should be back in my hands by the end of this week as well, and will finally be in an operable condition - meaning another range trip will be in order shortly thereafter for an extensive shakedown. Pictures will come later this evening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
