zhunter Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Seems like the 320 X-5 Legion was designed to be a competition gun and the LCI Barrel should never have been there in the first place, so when will they start shipping new guns without the LCI? Any rumors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansedgli Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 If SIG gave a turd their first barrel would have been rereleased with a supported chamber. Way too many sig diehards out there that will insist there is nothing wrong with the LCI cut for Sig to bother to accomodate the competition shooter. Maybe once these barrels dry up unless it is cheaper to add the actual LCI indicator instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 LCI Barrell is for the military contract, so it leached over to the consumer market, don't think it's going away. Cheaper to replace the few that guys that shoot CO with non LCI barrels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolex Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I sent my Legion right back after shooting it once- Came back with the Non LCI barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Hello: Since we are less than 20% of the buyers of pistols I would think they will not be getting rid of the LCI barrel at all. Also remember the average person only shoots 50 rounds then goes home to clean the pistol. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevoro Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Well, I have an X5 already and a Legion on the way. I'm pretty excited to read this. I'll just swap barrels out of my X5 to shoot CO...but it sounds like I'll have a legal ported barrel from the Legion to shoot in production! Haha.

Cowboy1629 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 The only people that are having issues with the LCI are those of us that shoot CO. Sig has been replacing them whenever they receive a complaint even from those who have never put an optic or intend to put an optic on their pistol. There was a comment about someone running a Romeo 1 Pro on the X5 Legion without issues. So from Sig’s point of view they probably don’t see it as a problem that needs immediate attention.

firerain Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Does anyone get a new legion without the LCI cut? I assume Sig should start doing that soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyops Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 OK....shot my Legion X5 today (for the first time with the LCI barrel) and I'm running a Sig Romeo 3 MAX with a Springer adapter plate. I shot 150 rounds (maybe more) of Peak 147 gr. ammo and I had zero problems.....no gas streaks, no cloudy lens. Nothing. And to make matters worse, this particular barrel was dead-s%^t accurate. I mean REALLY accurate!! Has anybody else had "positive" feedback from their LCI X5 Legion barrels? I was kinda shocked, but pleasantly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thormx538 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I dropped my Legion off at the Pro Shop yesterday to get the barrel swapped. The guy working mentioned his regular X5 had the LCI barrel and that he didn't have any problems with it getting on the optic. I have a Romeo 3 on a Springer plate on my Legion and the powder burns on the optic body were definitely noticeable after the first mag or two. The glass wasn't that bad though.

Rolex Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 The old x5 had the optic cut further back on the slide- the optic- my Romeo 1 sat back more on the slide- and back from the ejection port- find one and see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a regular X5 too but it has a non LCI barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGus Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 After running a couple of mags through my X5 Legion when I first took it to the range to sight in my red dot, the glass was clouded up pretty good from the gas seeping through the LCI. If I wasn't shooting CO it wouldn't be a big deal. Other than that I love everything about the X5 Legion. But, great customer service by Sig to replace the barrel at no cost and to even pay for shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dgunnie Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I own a X5 Legion, just picked it up recently. How can i tell the difference between the LCI barrel and the non? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBomber Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 The LCI cut is a small notch cut in the top of the chamber area near the breach face. If you see a notch, it's an LCI barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dgunnie Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) As shown in the picture below, that would be an LCI barrel? Edited November 20, 2019 by Dgunnie spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowdyb Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 thankfully my sig customer service guy said send just the barrels. i know it's not effectively any different as a gun with no barrel isn't really usable but i liked sending as little as possible.

tyr264 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Cowboy, Interested to hear that Sig might replace the LCI barrel. I have a M17 with the LCI, and in using it for CO, it's a pain. Do you have any info as to how easy it was to get Sig to swap barrels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
