X5SigChris Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 There’s a steel walther something at my local gun store. Astronomical price though. I’d have to find it and remember what it was exactly. Beautiful though, that’s for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then sig already has the AGX frame that some people have switched too. I honestly may give it a try myself. Those are both aluminum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m700 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 The AXG with Lok brass grip panels/backstrap may as well be steel. I dont compete but I run my 320 with comp on an AXG and it shoots. I just picked up an erubus and my sig currently out shoots it. My guess is that once I have a couple thousand rounds though it that wont be the case. My guess is when there was a run on 320 legions early on in covid people were overbuying them. the hype may of had people picking up 3-4 of them and now things have died down a bit and people are offloading extras. It could also be there are some new contenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not feel like its a steel gun and it weighs less than my Legions. For me its the perfect weight. I have an Athena, and I think the Sig AXG Pro with the TSA trigger and Barstow Barrel is pretty on Par with it. Not completely as accurate but damn close. The thing is pretty amazing, and I think it blows away any 5" P320 variant. Now that it seems that LO might be a thing, it might not see much use, lol.

I hadnt weighed them but axg seems to be about 3oz heavier with grips. im running pmm barrel/comp on norso slide so I had to lose the tungsten guide rod and i have not purchased tungsten grip weight. The overall feel of the AXG setup seems to be a weight shift to the rear and a better feel on the grip for me. It is amazing that 2,000 can be pretty competitive vs 5-7k depending on which atlas. The atlas is hands down nicer but you can rip on a 2k gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely will replacing a log of other P320 grips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X5SigChris Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I’m picking up a spare x5 (non legion) with that x carry. It’ll 100% get a AXG frame and grips. I’ve been wanting to try it out and nows my chance. I’ll turn which ever I like least into the backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the thought there is the back strap is removable. Weight can be introduced there. There physically is not enough room on the grip for both a removable backstrap and a slot for the grip weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking I can drill the top of my brass backstrap and insert tig tungstens, cap with a bit of epoxy then slide back in. Im not sure its worth it though.tungsten is more than 2x denser but im not sure how much I would get in. If I got 1/2 of a cubic inch in I would pick up 2.5 oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a 5" P320 put it on the clock against your current AXG. I imagine it won't be slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wondered why everybody wanted to make a full size 9 mm heavier. It really don't have any recoil as it is.

For gaming purposes it makes some since to add some weight to mitigate muzzle flip. In a carry situation I do not feel it does. Problem is that people see the max limit for say a CO gun is 59oz and think they need to add all kinds of weight. Far from the truth. The weight helps, until it doesn't. Different weights of pistols are going to work for different people, however I do not see the benefit of a CO gun weighing more than 45 oz and that is heavier than I prefer. Where the weight is added will also differ from pistol to pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My carry optics gun is a Smith and Wesson M&P2.0 metal, with a green holosun 507C Straight out the box. It is my do everything gun. But this is just me.

Im done modding this 320 I think shes perfect. I am building a fcu I have and keep going to order parts and in my mind I just wanna build a match for this one so I havent pulled the trigger on it In reality I should probably build the same uncomped le.
