Title: Sig P320 Addiction - Experiences and Recommendations
Post by: drck1000 on August 01, 2022, 09:05:28 AM
Dipping my toes into the Sig P320 world.  I have LONG wanted a P320 X-Five Legion, but held off for a number of reasons.  The cost of mags as well as having to get all of the support gear were the main reasons.  I had plenty of opportunities to pick up the X-Five Legion from friends along the way for great prices, but even then held off.

Bought a P320 X-Full with Romeo.  In the waiting period now. 

I was always interested in the P320 series for a while, so looking forward into having one for myself.  I thought about getting one a while back for USPSA Production, but then I got super busy with work.  Blah, blah, blah, excuses, excuses. 

I've read and seen a number of videos of how folks got a P300 series addiction.  Some started with P320 and then on to P365.  Some starting with P365 and on to P320.  For me, I recently bought a Glock 43x and was looking at a P365XL as well.  Since I have to go through the PTA process anyways, might as well "maximize"  No P365 in stock locally (at least the LGSs I checked).   However, one did have the X-Full in-stock and got the bug. 

Anyone else a P320 & P365 fan?

I've tried various P320's since they came out.  IMO, on paper, it's a solid gun. Esp for HI cause u can just change the module and slides.

Even the X with that graphite to add weight on paper sounds awesome. It checks all the dots as do other models.  But in actually shooting them, I'm not a fan.  The gun feels top heavy and unbalanced. Not noticeable when pulling the trigger, but noticeable when dry firing and aiming.  This isn't too big of a deal if it helped big time with recoil, which it didn't. 

Then all the triggers when dry firing felt like mush. My VP9 trigger feels better. Again, only noticeable when dry firing. As when the gun goes bang, I can't tell the diff. So again, by it's self, not a big deal.

Then add in the huge mark up SIG does. Since the M17 program came out, we know now what it cost to make 1.  I'm sure other guns are the same, but not as internet guru advertised by an easy google search. But not too big of a deal by itself.

So I keep mentioning the above "by itself". By now add in all of them together, which is why I haven't bought 1. I was really leaning toward it cause I can get various sizes without having to buy another gun and go thru the HI process of PTA/reg.  And I still didn't get 1 yet.  Plus it looks super tacicool.

Tungsten?  There are weights in the grip modules as well as other weights that can be added.  I ordered the Tungsten infused grip module as well.  Believe it's the same one that comes with the X-Five Legion.

The differences in trigger pulls was another aspect that kept me from the Sig P320, or another other pistol really.  I had come full circle on Glock, then adding PPQ, CZ SP-01, etc, and back to Glock.  The hope is that I'll get back into shooting more when work calms down in Sep, so a lot more shooting with my "usual" Glock 19s and eventually 43x.  But also want to try to see what else is out there. 

Sig also has a great pricing program for NRA Instructors. . .  :thumbsup:

I sold my P320 to my SIL.  It was my favorite after my P226.  He was looking for his first handgun, so I sold him that and my Sig 1911 Nightmare Fastback -- my 2 favorite guns.

I figure with the P320 "family" of handguns expanding as it is, I'd be just as happy, or happier, with a different flavor of P320.  So, I'll wait until a good deal on a great model comes along.

There's so much to like about the P320 platform.  Striker fired, trigger, weight, ergonomics, etc.  The fact that you can also use the FCG module in other size and caliber X-Change kits is another plus.

It shoots great, and I ran close to 1K rds in it out of the box without cleaning.  No jams or malfunctions.  The one thing I had to get used to is the complete lack of "take up" on the trigger.  One of the exercises we did at Front Sight was fire two rounds, do a tactical reload, then keep the pistol trained on the target while taking up the slack on the trigger.  Both times my gun went "bang!" when it was supposed to just be ready to fire!  At least I hit the center of the target both times!   :rofl:  A little embarrassing, but the trainers understood.  That's one reason we train -- weapon familiarity.

I can't think of anything on the original P320 Nitride I bought to complain about.  I even got it as soon as OGC had it on sale after they first came out before the prices started going crazy.  Once the popularity and military selections kicked in, they were easily going for 50%-100% more than I paid.

Sent it back for the "voluntary upgrade" / non-recall trigger swap after the drop-fire problem was discovered.  The trigger used to "click" when it was unloaded and the firing pin not yet set.  Now, it's like a Glock. Pull the trigger when unloaded and not yet racked, and you get no click.

You talking about having  a dead trigger? If yes, then the VP9 gets this if you hit it with a hammer at a certain angle. A drop could not duplicate this, it has to be with a hammer. A dead trigger is much better than the gun going bang. Glad yours didn't have to be fixed.  And tap/rack solves this because all u gotta do is reset the trigger by racking the slide.

I'm sure OP knows this, but all the newer models have solved this problem. it was the OG ones that had to be sent back for a free correction.  And the P365s didn't have this issue like how the 320 did.

just got my 365 recently.  shot it a few times, no malfunctions.
I like it bc its small and holds 10 rounds, they make 15 round mags but the gestapo here won't let us use those
I also like that you can change the grip modules.  I thought about getting the 365X/XL module for it, but I decided against that for now bc I want to keep this my small micro compact.  I could change my mind later, who knows.  but  its a simple swap, and not too expensive
I did order a same size grip module.  its a factory SIG 365 grip, with a camouflage cerakote.  so mainly just for looks.
I shot my friends P320X5 Legion with Romeo and it shoots very well

That's pretty much what started my interest in the P320 line.  I shot one of the early X-Five releases, as well as saw that the shooter could go with it (they had recently completed Sig training and qualification/testing).  Damn impressive. 

Does your 365 have the flat faced trigger?  Or the curved?

This is the most excited I've been about new pistols in a while.  I've shot the 42 and 43 quite a bit before and thought they were ok to good.  Just had no real interest in owning one.

I got the P320 X Compact with Romeo red dot.  Good little gun and maybe I’ll use it for carry one day.  Also got the X5 Legion.  I upgraded the trigger with Armory craft trigger and gas pedal.  Both are ok guns but I wouldn’t compare shoot ability to my CZ Shadow 2 or my 1911.

I have a CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow Target II.  If I had one with RDS, that would be a fun side-by-side.  Probably would be for the same purpose, at least for me, which is primarily competition.

Tungsten?  There are weights in the grip modules as well as other weights that can be added.  I ordered the Tungsten infused grip module as well.  Believe it's the same one that comes with the X-Five Legion.


Sorry to throw this blog off subject, but I got 3 tungsten rods (weights) that are inserted into the Wilson Combat grip module for the P365.
Reviews say that it settles down the pistol with just a little weight.

Cool.  Thanks!  I was looking at the W/C modules.  Like the variety that is offered, particularly with grip shape and textures.

I ordered the X Legion grip module that (at least I believe) already has tungsten weights built-in or infused.  They do have weights you can add as well.  I just went with the basic for now and will shoot it a while and see.  Interesting that there are so many options for the weighting of the P320 series.  Other manufacturers have heavy or grip options, but not that many with adjustable weight kits.

My first P320. It’s the X-Full RXP. Also have the tungsten weighted grip module (TXG).

The trigger is “different”. Will shoot it and see. For now, just different than any pistol trigger I currently own. Seems even different from the P320 versions I’ve shot previously, like the X-5 Legion.

The pic of the Romeo comes out a lot larger than it is via naked eye.

i've got a handful of the P320 FCU's.  gravitated towards the AXG frames.  with the 4.7" and 3.9" barrel/slides,  I bought the Trijicon suppressor-heights sights, just haven't gotten around to swapping them in.  I like the Apex curved trigger (personal preference) and I use the Armory Craft +10% trigger return spring.  I tried the Apex trigger bar, didn't like it.   I've got another Sig slide waiting to be FDE cerakoted.  Debating on whether to send an unused AXG frame out to be cerakoted Troy Coyote Tan (H-268), for closest-match to the Sig coyote tan.  so yeah, drinking that Sig P320 Kool-Aid  no P365's, yet.

updated pic with suppressor-height sights:

I also tried the Armory Craft Sport take-down lever, mainly to make it easier to rotate, but then Sig redesigned their OEM TD lever with a new groove ramp, it's now easy to rotate, no longer a need for the thick AC TD lever sticking out the side (want slimmer profile), just to get tool-less take-down.  and not a fan of gas pedals.

Nice!  I was reading up on the AXG frames.  I saw SEC had a few in stock, at least last week. 

I was also looking into trigger options, just mostly just to see what's out there and what folks are using.  I haven't shot my first P320 yet, and plan is to shoot it in stock/basic condition for a while.  I have the GoGun gas pedal take down lever, that's about it.  I haven't shot with it yet.  I've heard really good things about them from friends that have them.  I have found that it limits holster options.  On one hand, anything that helps improve is worth a try.  However, I also prefer to have commonality between guns.  Glocks have an option to have a ramp stippled/formed into the frame, but I don't have that mod on any of my current guns.

I found that I enjoy the flat trigger over the curved one. It's much less "mushy" and the take up seems less. Same with the P365 curved triggers vs the ones on the 365X, XL, Spectre, etc...

They're still mushy, but not as mushy as the gen 1 curved ones. Both 320 and 365.  TBH, I prefer the glock trigger over either flat or curved.

I suspected what you meant.  Was just giving you crap.  I still haven't shot the P320, but the trigger just seems "different". 

I personally like flat faced triggers, at least the ones I have on my 19s.  Where the break is when the bar is vertical.  Those have an index point.  Funny because for my bolt actions I prefer the TT pro curved.  Or at least it will be quite painful to switch.

The triggers on the 43x and 48 are also different.  Not like my stock 17s triggers.  I am leaning toward going with Apex triggers on at least one of the slim body, and maybe a different one, but can't remember the name.

Shot the P320 X-Full with Romeo over the weekend and I am VERY impressed.  Out of the box, the Romeo was spot on, at least for the 5 mags or so I shot at 10-15 yards.  There were a couple of YT goobers who were trashing the same gun with Romeo combo, but I didn't experience any issues with the dot or "lack of inherent accuracy". 

Based on dry fire, my thoughts on the X series stock trigger was that it was interesting.  After shooting about 50 rounds, nothing negative to note.  Reset and break seemed fine.  Just different than I'm used to.  I was trying to index the trigger on the little nub at the bottom of the flat faced trigger and that seemed to work well.  Grouping using CMO's fruit metric was less than a plum for slow fire and around Fuji apply in "quicker" draw and follow-up shots. 

Similar to the 43x, plan is to shoot this gun a lot over the next many months, including getting back into USPSA matches, but in Carry Optics.  Need to pick up more mags, but have the rest of the gear ready. 

One aspect that I want to look into more for the P320 (as well as the 43x) is to stipple the underside of the trigger guard.  My Gucci Glocks have undercut and stippling that helps with how I grip pistols.  Other than that, really liking the P320 so far.  Want to shoot the X-Full size by side with say a Glock 17 or 34.  Don't envision switching away from Glock any time soon, but can certainly envision more P320 variants in my collection before too long. .

Romeo 1?

This is the RDS I was originally looking at, but chose to go Holosun because the Romeo1 is plastic. For a carry gun, I don't want a plastic optic. But if you're going to use it just for matches, then it's a very good and affordable optic.

Romeo 1?

This is the RDS I was originally looking at, but chose to go Holosun because the Romeo1 is plastic. For a carry gun, I don't want a plastic optic. But if you're going to use it just for matches, then it's a very good and affordable optic.

Romeo 1 Pro.  Think it's aluminum housing.  But yeah, primarily for matches and general range shooting.  I am considering a DeltaPoint, as well as potentially the ACRO on the P320 since Aimpoint makes a mount for the P320.  Don't envision carrying the P320 X-Full, but who knows.  Maybe an X-Carry in the future. . .

Distance was 10 & 15 yards.

I know a guy who CC a P320 Legion (that graphite one) when at work. AIWB.

Yeah, understand can.  I have carried my Glock 17 AIWB.  I know many who prefer a full size handgun for balance of capability with concealability.  However, also need to understand the person's context.

:facepalm:

Weather conditions and what they wear.  Their build, personal preference, etc.  But yes, I can certainly appreciate those whose gun funds are more challenged. . .

I know more than a few who choose to carry full sized pistols, including a Glock 34/35.

Shot the P320 X-Full more over the weekend. Let a few shooting friends try and all were impressed.  I am very much impressed with the gun.  I will try the tungsten grip module next, and considering some stippling on select areas of the grip.  Overall, I am very much liking the gun.  See a lot of positives with the gun and platform/system.  The mag price and having to get a bunch of support gear is a downer as well, but the P320 is very much growing on me.  Can't say I'm addicted, but envision having the P320 on a lot more trips to ranges days.

P320 xten anyone? Ive been wanting a 10mm for hunting. Does anyone know if we can drop in a standard p320 fcu into the new xten parts?

Also I think its gotta be 6", hopefully that is an option soon.

Your 320 is sweet. I was able to have rounds touching at 5 yards. Which I don't think I've done that with the VP9 or CZ P10C.  Besides the tungsten grip helping with follow up shots (recoil), would it also effect accuracy for slow fire?

*Edit

It kind of makes me want to get 1. But I already bought enough guns this year and really have no need for it.  I mean, I could retire the VP9. But then those 5 holsters went to waste.

I also told myself my next handgun, I will RDS and it will be a GLock or clone (Shadow Systems MR920) and Gucci it.

When you shot it, I had the standard X-Full frame/grip module on it.  I've since put the TXG and shot another 50 rounds or so.  I like it.  Can't say that it affects accuracy, though I can definitely see a benefit in say competition. 

I wanted a P320 for a long time.  The support gear needed (mags, holsters, etc) had me holding off, as well as came full circle from one gun/platform, to all sorts of different guns, to back to shooting more with one (or less) platforms. 

The more I shoot the P320 X-Full, the more I like it.  Shoots pretty well out of the box and lots of options available.  Pricing is decent as well.  Not as much aftermarket options as Glock.  Still don't envision going away from Glock, but think has potential. . .

Anyone got the 320 X-Compact and changed the grip modules out?  I was thinking about changing to the Wilson Combat grips.  I’m goin to wait until the range opens again.  Don’t have the urge to shoot indoors just yet.

Aside, what trigger is that on your X-Five (or what looks like an X-Five)?

Armory Craft…I’m was looking at the Apex also.  The 320’s are so modular that it gets addicting.  Thinking about a whole new build and just swapping out the fire control.

Ahh, thanks!  I was looking at Apex and GrayGuns, but mostly because when I first got the gun, the trigger felt "different" to me.  After shooting it, it seems to shoot pretty well.  So prob will hold off.  That said, yup, I am somewhat considering a P320 X-Compact too.   ;D

Well…if the range opens up your welcome to try shooting it.  You can try the Legion with the Amory Craft trigger too.

and regardless of which trigger, I think it's worthwhile to do the +10% trigger reset spring.  either Armory Craft, or other equivalent.  The AC's are pretty cheap if you get a couple off of ebay. AC sells on ebay.

Cool.  I've shot the X-Five Legion before.  Ended up with the X-Full and TXG grip, so close-ish.  ;D

I'll have to look up the Amory Craft stuff.

Will look it up, but in the meantime, what is that?  Faster trigger reset?  Where the spring pushes your finger forward with greater force/speed than stock spring?

stronger trigger reset feel.  stock trigger reset is a little light, IMHO.  yes, trigger reset spring pushes your finger, trigger forward.  however, it does add slightly to trigger pull.

Yeah, I can see how the reset feel/force is less than many other of my pistols.  I don't think I would mind or really notice a slightly heavier trigger pull weight on my P320.
