BillChunn Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Different slide configuration.... no top cut outs. Will be interesting to see what it weighs. BC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudukai13 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Hmm...Sorry but that’s a resounding “meh” from me. If they had done this with a German X-Five Alpha-style grip module I’d be a lot more excited, but essentially just a X-Five Legion with a R3Max isn’t all that exciting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich406 Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 Pretty much what I was expecting. A p320 legion with a r3 max direct mounted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eboadway Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Maybe it also has the tighter lockup of the original X5... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, apparently the lockups on p320 legion and a standard p320 are different... Seeing how numerous legion owners keep hunting for older slides, hopefully this one will be more accurate than the current legion model.

In fact,I am so aware that I use the X5 slide instead of the legion slide. That said, i find it very unlikely that they will alter the mechanical design from the current p320 design.

Can you tell what exactly makes the difference? The X5 barrel is fit better and the slide locks up to the gun a bit tighter. I’m not sure what else. That said the legion will shoot certain ammo well, mostly 124gr. The X5 will shoot most ammo well. I prefer 147gr bullets. The legion group at 15 yards looked like a shotgun blast, 4-5” group. The X5 will shoot the same ammo all into 1 hole, <1” group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erwos Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) I don't know what people were expecting, TBH. It's a Legion with an R3 Max on top... mission accomplished. I probably would have chosen the 3MOA variant, but that's nitpicking. Improved slide lockup would be nice, but I've never felt the Legion's accuracy was inadequate for USPSA. I can make 75yd hits on steel with 1-2 shots, so I often feel like the accuracy issues are a little overblown. The P320 Alpha was a cool idea, and I could probably be convinced to buy the grip module if they ever released it in the US, but with the bankruptcy of Sig in Germany, I doubt it's going to happen. (The new XCarry Legion is arguably a more interesting release; kind of a mash-up between the X5 Legion and the (never-released?) X5 TacOps. Might be good for the crowd that likes to shoot with their carry pistols.) Edited January 20, 2021 by erwos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwx40x40 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Heck, I’m still waiting on the 210 lightweight carry model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mveto Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I like the fact it is Carry Optics specific, no front sight option keeps it targeted to a specific crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you see this? https://soldiersystems.net/2021/01/19/shot-on-demand-2021-sig-product-spotlight-p320-xcarry-legion/ Right there. Truthfully, it'd probably work just fine for Carry Optics, it's not like sight radius matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's a huge market for a pistol like this, not that Sig has ever been able to keep up with P320 demand to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyr264 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 So, does anyone know if this new P320 Max uses the X5 barrel and slide, or is it built on the Legion barrel/slide? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
