motosapiens Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) Anyone ever experienced a premature slide lock in a p320 x5 legion? We've only had the gun 6 weeks or so, but It's happened to mrs moto twice now in practice. on inspection, the stock followers definitely contact the slide lock with 1 round left, but pretty lightly. Looking at her grip, it doesn't appear there is any way her hand could be contacting it on either side. We're using it for CO, so don't really GAF if it locks anyway. Just wondering if this is a thing before I take a dremel to the slide lock. Edited January 15, 2021 by motosapiens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eboadway Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Odd, I have about 20 mags, never seen this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B585 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) I have 3 X5s but never experienced that on any of them using various springs and followers Edited January 15, 2021 by B585 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wurm Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Haven't had it happen either with my Legion or regular x-five and my stable if 17 and 21 round mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motosapiens Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 thanks for the quick replies. I'll take out the FCU and make sure everything is kosher. It's plausible i messed something up when put the trigger in and left the lever with too little downward spring tension, so that only a tiny nudge would activate it. If that fails, I'll just dremel the activator off and call it good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose78 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I have had the slide lock back with rounds in the magazine...but it was due to my hand/thumb placement and pushing up on the slide release unknowingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnappi Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Not to say that this is your issue, but it's possible that the case / bullet profile snicking the SS up. The last round slips forward because there was less spring tension on that round. Goose has my other suggestion out there already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
