Could I use my fire control unit/ grip and throw a 40 S&W slide/barrel/recoil spring and be good to go? The only one that is not modular is the 45acp right? Yep. And the full size slides fit into the X5 holsters just fine. I have two different belts set up with an RHT for each but there is no need for this other than me liking to buy gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abominator Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Man that is awesome. There are so many police trade ins, probably still cheaper after FFL than buying a conversion kit. Hell then you get another grip, mag, and FCU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 back in the day I used to scratch my head at folks that would buy cheap junk escorts, chevettes and what not then throw a ton of gaudy after market parts on them, complete with gold rims and curbfinders to get them to just barely not suck rather than just buy something decent to begin with, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a 320 with x grip for work. Playing with a 320 has paid greatly for my performance with the work gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Good for you,, hey this is a game,, have fun,, run what you brung,,, but there is a reason the 2011 platform has been dominating for 20 plus years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thormx538 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Yeah in my case it isn't the gun holding me back. I'm a B/C shooter. And I shoot Limited so infrequently since switching to CO, that being able to just swap the upper and have everything else be consistent is nice.

Yeah but looking cool is important and a 2011 is a nerd rig space blaster for sure lol. That being said, once I have done practical shooting for a while and my skill level increases I'll probably end up buying one. I DON"T want to be the C class shooter with a $3500 gun. That's the equivalent of a hopeless basement dwelling 40yr old buying a badass sports car in hopes to get laid with a chick way out of his league!
