bobbyblaze Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Has anyone shot this pistol yet? how does it compare to the X5 Legion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echotango Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) I have 3. There is a slight difference in feel while shooting. My guess is it has to do with the weight distribution on the different slides. Perhaps also that the sight is lower w/o a plate. It is minimal, but you can feel it. Sold the legions.

bobbyblaze Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 I was wondering that since the MAX slide has no cut outs for slide reduction. Do you find that the LEGION or X5 performs just as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echotango Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) If I remember correctly, the max slide is actually 1oz lighter vs the legion w/plate. Edited April 21, 2021 by echotango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomstick303 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 For anyone that has had an X5 Legion and the New Max, is there any noticeable difference in barrel/slide lockup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkymonkey1111 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Cost-wise, the Max seems like a Legion + a Romeo 3. Is there anything I'm missing there?--any you get 4 mags. Or, is the Legion the more versatile choice, optic-wise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anything I'm missing there?--any you get 4 mags. Or, is the Legion the more versatile choice, optic-wise? Really just depends on what you might use it for. It is basically an X5 Legion that is dedicated for CO. It comes with no iron sights or option to install any. If that's all you want to do with it, then it comes with four 21 round mags and is pretty much good to go. If you think you might want to do Production, Limited Minor, or 3gun with this pistol, then the X5 Legion might be the better choice for you with your choice of optic(pay attention to what fits and doesn't so you can make informed choices...the Romeo3Max, for example would need an adapter plate. Trijicon SRO hangs over the ejection port if you don't get an adapter plate, etc. Romeo1Pro is direct mount and a good choice). The bummer there is that it comes with four 17 round magazines leaving you to buy base plates for more rounds or different magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The presence of plate definitely makes a big difference it how the gun is perceived in action. Plus all that stupid slide cuts in legion probably makes the dot jump a little faster and more violent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touji Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Just picked up a Max slide for a build. Anyone have any experience trying to put a dot on it that isn't a Romeo 3? I've shot the XL a lot on open guns but I'm curious about the longevity on CO guns. At some point I'd probably opt for an SRO or RMR pattern dot at some point in the future.

Mcfoto Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Thanks for the thread. Considering upgrading my CO rig from a G17mos with a vortex viper. Got to store counter handle a Legion an was impressed. Haven’t found a Max to fondle yet. One question: with the Legion, you’ll need to remove the mag well to be USPSA compliant. The stock photo of the Max also shows a magwell. Also needs removed?

WaltK Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Yes. Mag well is not allowed in Carry Optics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
