Rudukai13 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Looks like they’re just about ready to be released. The initial version is modeled after the X-Carry (Compact length dustcover, Fullsize/17-round grip length), though they have stated they’ll be working on other versions as well. Compatible with the X-Five magwell; https://www.icarusprecision.com I’ll be getting one as soon as they’re available and will do a full review in my Project Nemesis thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as your weight doesn't go over 45oz I don't see why not....although, it's not a true OE frame/grip module so there's that.

I’d certainly prefer a grip module made of steel for the additional weight, but for my purposes the aluminum version will work well enough. I’m less interested in the added weight from the grip module and more interested in it being a much more solid mounting point for a frame-mounted optic. The Surefire X300U that I hang off the pic rail will make up for the lack of weight in the aluminum itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they would have changed the shape on the sides of the beavertail, it’s just too wide on the x grips.

I tried my best to make suggestions to them regarding profile and features, but it seemed they were fairly set in what they wanted to do. That said while it won’t be as easy and grinding down a polymer grip module, it still should be fairly straight-forward for a buyer to reprofile the aluminum grip to their particular shape and needs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Hello: Interesting idea and looks like it would be a nice addition to the pistol for an open conversion. Maybe one with no rail setup and flat sides to bolt up a frame mounted optic. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Eric Assuming the dustcover is the same dimensions on the aluminum grip module as the OEM polymer grip modules (very likely), there will already be enough space and perfectly proportioned for installing a frame-mounted optic to it (pictured is the Atlas gunworks RMR/SRO mount, unmodified from how it ships); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprising that the alloy with short dustcover is lighter than the tungsten grip with full-length rail, but I bet it’s still a noticeable difference from the polymer X-Carry module. I believe the aluminum grip is also compatible with the grip weight, which means you can also add more weight to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price is probably also going to be a no go for me with them not changing any of the ergonomics, I’m going to guess these are going to be $400 or so.

Rudukai13 Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 YES! They’re tweaking the ergonomics and trying out a micropocket grip texture! Now these are starting to look good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I heard you can not put the Sig tungsten grip on a base X5 and be legal for USPSA Production. The reasoning is that putting the tungsten grip on a base X5 does not make it into a Legion. It just makes it a base X5 with a heavy grip that puts it over the weight limit for a base X5. Perhaps my recollection is faulty and maybe I'm out of date given the number of recent changes in the Prod rules.

Rudukai13 Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 The first and third grips in that video I’d agree look too slick, but that middle one might have some promise. I’ve been lobbying them to try some kind of micropocket-like texture since they released their 365 grip modules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
