P320 RX

[thehudge]

I am currently shooting a 320 RX in carry optics division and was wondering; I want to change the frame to an X5 and the curved trigger to a flat one, all would still be OEM.

Would these changes be legal to shoot in CO Division?  

I have read the new rules but am still not sure. 

[hitman_usmc]

Yes, that is fine. 

[jcc7x7]

Yes.

FCU are available with flat triggers and you can change triggers and grips/modules per the current rules.

Be aware if you have large hands the x-5 is only available with the med grip.

FWIW I actually like the LG 320 grip better than my x-5 grip

You raise a valid point jcc.  While I have handled the x5 I have never shot one and currently use the large module on the 320.  I fined the 320 grip to be awkward and I have to put more of the meat of my hand on the backstrap so I can get proper finger position on the trigger. 

Hmmm.

Hmmm. 

I SilCarb'd my grip and when I did I added some meat to the rear so I got what I wanted for grip placement.

Now It's great for me and my hand etc.

What's SiliCarb?

Silicon carbide.

I shoot IPSC Production Optic and done exactly the same thing (straight trigger and  X frame).

Could you post a pic.  I am very curious about this SilCarb stuff.

Did you get the DAA kit or pick up the stuff yourself on the silicone carbide job?

[dansedgli]

Did it myself. Jb weld and the coarsest silicon carbide sandblasting media I could find. 

[terrydoc]

good open gun dan

There are better options for all divisions if we are being honest. 

 

 

[terrydoc]

Just referring to the grit job

[dansedgli]

You should see the tungsten under it.

huge difference when you shoot it?

I have the SSI  tungsten carbide grip, it now weighs 43 ounces.

Makes a huge difference

The SSI also increases the size of the grip some.
