Sig P320 slide help

[Kruel J]

Yeah. I think I want one. I like bigger guns to start. And as much as I like Glock, I've never said they were the best. I like all guns.

@spookshack that would be sweet. Do you run yours open or optic?

 

[DirectDrive]

The more I'm looking at the X5, the more I want one.

Hard to find them lately.
SIG is pushing the Legion version which is almost the same thing, except the frame is tungsten-infused polymer.
Has the heft of a steel frame.

If you like a Glock, you would probably like an X-frame.

DeltaPoint Pro. I just uninstalled it and put the rear sight plate back on it as a buddy of mine are going to shoot a USPSA Limited match with them. He usually runs a PCC, but decided he wants to run his X5 with iron's and wanted to know if I was game for it. Of course, challenge accepted!

I also got a 4.7 slide with a Romeo 1 Pro and XRAY3 suppressor sights. 5.5 threaded barrel.

Custom Works FCU, Surefire X300, Wilson Combat grip module and a factory 30rd mag.

 

[spookshack]

Oh, and I sent the FCU out to AB Prototype to have it cut for a manual safety.

Love the X5 legion. It's the reason I swapped over to Sig. It's my daily carry. I'm currently building a comped P320 on a second Legion module I picked up for a hell of a deal. Eventually I'll mill the slide for an Aimpoint Acro.

DAY-YAMN!! Talk about a race gun! That things just screams 350 MPH!

Welcome to Sig. Got any Glocks for sale?

Obviously one of those probably have Sig's patented "drop action" capability….

Here's one that began life as a P320 Full Size.

So I guess it's a P320 Tranny now.

Damn I like that.

If anyone has a bead on an X5 Legion please let me know.

Check with Northwest Armory in Tigard. I got one there a few months back. They had the X5 Legion and the Legion Carry.

$999.99 at NW Armory…..

Well I got the TXG small grip module today.

Got home and swapped the FCU over to the new grip module installed the slide and locked it to the rear and I can not get it to release at all. Using the slide release, nothing. Grab the back of the slide to try and release it, still won't budge.

Swapped the back and forth from the old Grip module and the new one several times. No issues at all going back onto the old grip module. New one still won't budge. I even installed the weight from the old into the new just to see if made a difference, no dice!

I give up. For the life of me I don't understand how the FCU goes into the new grip module but somehow the slide won't drop after re-assembly. WTF? Going to sleep on it and see how it goes tomorrow.

Going to see if I can have my buddy swap his FCU into it and see if his slide and/or my slide will work. Probably try my full size slide and swap some take down levers in and see how that goes…..

 

[DirectDrive]

How do you get the stuck slide "un-stuck" so can swap it back and forth ?

There is a condition when the slide is installed without the takedown lever in place where the slide gets hung up.
It's the striker lug/sear interface.
While the takedown lever mistake may not be your issue, the striker/sear interface would be worth a look.

 

[spookshack]

The slide releases just fine when the take down lever is in the down position for disassembly. It's only when lever is in the home position that the slide will not drop.

 

[spookshack]

I sent and email to Sig. I'm guessing it will be late next week at the earliest to hear back from them. Getting ready to head out to TCGC and pass the grip module off to my buddy. He can see if it will play nice with his FCU. I was really hoping to do a "side by side" with the new small module and my previous medium module. Oh well……
It's not a huge difference but it does feel better in my hand.

 

[DirectDrive]

Are you mixing Manual Safety with non-manual safety components ?
Mixing Gen 1 (non-disco) with Gen 2 ?

 

[spookshack]

While I do have a couple manual safety FCU's, Sig does not offer the TXG grip modules with the needed cut for the safety levers, so they won't fit anyway.
