P320 X5 Coyote w/captured spring

[tyler79durdan]

I have an P320 X5 Legion with the fat uncaptured GR and I have a P320 X5 Coyote with the captured GR. The two GR are different diameters. The captured GR is much smaller in Diameter and the dust cover/spring tunnel has a smaller opening up front that won’t fit the larger “fat” rod. The tunnel diameter is the same on both slides. I want to change the Coyote to an uncaptured system but I’m not sure who makes a replacement and also if I make my own GR on my lathe, what springs would I use. I feel like the 1911 springs would be way to large of an inside diameter to function efficiently? The other option is to enlarge the GR hole on the Coyote slide to accept a fat rod and use the 1911 springs but that’s a last ditch for me. I need help! Thanks in advance!

I have the Gray Guns Stainless Guide rod/ Spring in my Coyote X-5. Works great.

Interesting about the X5 Coyote.

 

You may want to reach out to Spring Precision they make a stainless and tungsten guide rods for the X5. I'm sure if you tell the the diameter of your slide they will be able to tell you if their's will work.

If the tunnels are the same, a 1911 spring will work. That’s what everyone used when the Springer and GG rods came out.
