So far I have ordered the slide and grip frame. Osage County Guns ships very fast as my order is already on the way via FedEx and will be here Tuesday.
The next parts to track down seem to be as followed:
In the end this will be nice next to my decommissioned M17 and regular M18. |

In the end this will be nice next to my decommissioned M17 and regular M18. View Quote Greeting Jake cutter FCU: before DK-Prof ordered the 80% one, I created a thread to help him find a complete FCU as fast as possible: https://www.ar15.com/forums/Handguns/Where-to-buy-stand-alone-complete-FCU-for-P320-this-week-/14-196760/ There is an excellent, money-saving suggestion in that thread you may want to consider (thanks 64tinc!). “ Posted: Today 1:57:50 PM EDT Report I think Proven arms had complete full size for $475 this week. Sell the complete upper for 325 and get a magazine fcu grip module for 150.” By the same token, Sig recently (pre-panic) sold off a ton of CPO (certified period-owned) P320s for around $385. All handguns are hard to find now. But cannibalizing an existing 320 might save you a few $$. RE barrels: I believe an ordinary p320 compact barrel will fit this slide. Could you post a photo or two of your Danish build in this thread as it progresses? |

Is it only the trigger that is different on the X models or are other internal parts changed?

I bought it from a website.
I see two different part numbers for the SIG flat trigger, is there a difference between them? Also, which height front sight is used? I read that the M18 uses a different height than the rest of the line. Presumably, this one uses the normal height one. |

I think I found the slight plate - website said it was in stock. I just ordered one. Fingers crossed.
I had to stop by the local gun store today to pick up a transfer (also Danish military related ) but they didn't have any P320 FCU packs. |

I believe this is the correct trigger & the one that will fit DK’s gun:
Attached File Other parts he has / will get soon: - Slide - Coyote X-grip frame - rear sight (ordered) - FCU (80 percent) - LPK (will get) - mag well (ordered) - slide parts with regular 320 barrel (will get) Other than the grip tape, correct front sight, and the exact X barrel, is there anything he is still missing? |

That's what I thought. Too bad the X Carry barrels aren't available anywhere. Hope sig puts them on their site or a distributor gets some.

I just need to find a sight pusher to use and I'll be done with mine. (Minus the grip tape)
I feel pretty meh about the flat trigger. I can see why other people would go nuts about it, but the standard was just fine to me. The Carry grip on the other hand makes the M17/18 grip feel like garbage. I'll probably drop the mag well later so I could use the 17 round mag. |
