Desk-Jockey Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Diving back into USPSA after a long hiatus. I have been a glock guy and shooting my 17 in production for the last few months. Thinking about moving up to limited or carry optics. Leaning toward carry optics. Pricing a glock 34 MOS ($700) and all the things You “have” to do to them to get them shooting right, I will be well over $1k in just the gun and upgrades. That Has me comparing to other options and the X5 legion has caught my eye. I have found a few threads here and there but I am curious what mods people are doing to their carry optics X5 legions.

a_whole_lot_of_freedom Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Tungsten guide rod, extended mag release, and grey guns competition trigger kit are the mods I ran but on the legion you can definitely run it straight stock and not see a significant performance loss.Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli_a Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I put talon grips on mine, that’s about it. In GA summer I feel like they really help. Recently some members recommended the sig armorer trigger job, might be looming at doing that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robchavous Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I like the GrayGuns trigger kit over the stock Legion trigger, but it's marginal. It's mostly just a better reset. I really like the Springer Precision paddle mag release.I tested out a tungsten guide rod and for the life of me couldn't tell a difference so it definitely wasn't worth the $100+.I also did a silicone carbide grip job and it makes a world of difference in grip in hot areas. It isn't terribly hard to do yourself, but there are guys doing really nice jobs for reasonable prices.I'm also using a Springer Precision plate for the Romeo 3 Max dot. No plans to change anything else right now. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPENB Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I did the GG trigger and Springer grip tape. Added TTI base pads to get 23. I’ve had good luck with Romeo 1’s and 1 Pro. That’s it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B585 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Grip tape and trigger mod (depends on how far you want to go down the rabbit hole on that one) and you are good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayou Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 In for this as these two are what I'm deciding between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubs3a Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Talon Grip tape, Henning +6 extensions and grams followers. pair it up with a RHT holster and you are set for a while unless you decide to mess with trigger/different optic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stician Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 If you can run a G17 like a boss I would put a SRO 5moa on it to see if you even like CO. There’s a learning curve and for me it took 1500 rds just to stop looking at the dot and feel comfortable with it like you would a front sight. I shot a stock Legion for a while and didn’t mind it over my prior very worked up Stock 2s. I wish it was as accurate. On a 124gr Ibejiheads on 4gr WST at 1.14” I’m seeing 3” off hand at 15yards vs 2" before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racinready300ex Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 So I'm running the GG trigger and a DIY SC job on the grip, add Dot of your choice and shoot it. There is other s#!t you can do but it's really not needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomstick303 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Honestly it doesn’t need anything. I would just shoot the thing and decide from there. While I have done many things discussed by others above they were not required to compete. I like to tinker and mostly most of what I have done was not required. The one exception is doing something grip wise. Grip tape, stipple job, or some other sort of texturing should be done. The grip works fine but I can see where it would get slick with sweaty hands. With that said for the tinkering types. Custom stipple and Cerakote job. The Cerakote on both the frame and the slide seem to make the action a touch smoother than stock setup. Tungsten guild rod with Wolff 11# spring. GrayGuns drop in trigger. I am running 2 Legions with SROs. Durability wise I have no issue with the SROs. I love them. There is the double dot issue when pointed into a low sum on the horizon. Therefore I am going to start running a Sig Romeo 3 Max but I have already had to send one back after only about 500 rounds through it. I have a new one that has been shipped. A buddy is running 2 Romeo 3 max with no issues. So hopefully the new one lasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
