bimmer1980 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 And all this because SIG USA issn´t able to Export their grips to SIG Germany..... How i know SIG you will not be able to put that grip on your old 320.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they'll wait like 6 months for people to spring for the new German built gun, then tool up NH and build them here, then wait a few more months and offer the metal grip frame that works with non-alpha slides Edited February 25, 2020 by thormx538 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Degnan Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Feature I am most bullish about is the addition of side grip inlays. I have two x5 legions but the grips are too small for my hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirectDrive Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I would have liked to have seen a separate dovetail for the rear sight. I don't know why they want to continue to hang their hat on that blanking plate/sight combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that's the case, given the photo of the Optics mounted on the slide in a separate marketing picture. That rear sight is retained, with the optic mounted. Not sure how that's done, but that's what the product photo showed, a Sig Romeo 1 mounted with that floating rear sight still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degnan Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Where is the 40 cal conversion kit for the X5 Legion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal p320 complete upper and you can just mount it on the x5 frame. It will be a slightly shorter barrel and stock slide however, no lightening cuts.

Rudukai13 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I don’t see any pic rail slots on the dustcover...? Please don’t tell me they finally decided to make a metal grip module and then removed the accessory rail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kontra Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 You can't just put the frame from a plastic gun on a metal gun. Metal guns just don't flex like plastic does. It wouldn't work reliable. The grip safety is maybe because the trigger is not drop safe. Like with the Walther Q5 Expert triggers. They don't sell them for that reason in the US.

mannyc Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 The frame and slide fit would definitely be better than the current X5 & X5 Legion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stippling a Legion frame is time consuming and expensive from what I've heard. I got mine with carbide, however if these interchangeable panels can offer grip like 2011 evo grip then that's a very good thing,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
