Saw some posts about them shipping to LGS, called mine and he said he'll have number 2 to arrive in his store set aside for me!!!!!
Anyone else hear about shipping dates for the X series P320s? |

Not for me either.
I'd rather take a stock 320 and make it mine, but I can see why some would like this package. The slide treatment doesn't make any sense other that its for looks, not for "slide lightening". Not saying doesn't have "cool factor", just call it that and don't give some BS excuse. And those sights.  I've never seen a set in person, but damn those things look busy.

From what I've read.. .they are NOT interchangeable.... But I'm not 100% sure. Just what I've been reading. I was informed by a few guys in the know that they would be interchangeable, but that it will be forever before sig actually sells x frames individually. |

Not saying you're wrong, but source? I was informed by a few guys in the know that they would be interchangeable, but that it will be forever before sig actually sells x frames individually. Honestly, I hope you are right. I'd love to be able to swap frames.

I'd have to dig around and see. I saw it on 2 or 3 places. Honestly, I hope you are right. I'd love to be able to swap frames. Here's a picture of my X5 grip module with a "standard" full size slide assembly Attached File |

Parts of the X-series P320's ARE 100% interchangeable with "standard" P320 parts. Having or or the other doesn't "obsolete" or negate you from using and/or interchanging with the other.

How did this happen? Is the x series even out yet? Does a standard FCU fit in the x frame? Quoted:

So, yes, a standard FCU will fit the X grip module and vice versa. Hold on and ill snap a couple of pics. |

Sooooooo...what isn't compatible? Or is this just a question of "this looks different, but works fine regardless."Â Quoted:

Okay, now we definitely need more explanation than an emoticon wonky face!!! Give us your sources! All your sources belong to us! F you have ANY word on when they ship... please, a hint |

4x 21rd mags ship with the 320X5-9-BAS - its a different floor plate than comes with on the 21rd mags that come with the TACOPS models. Ill take some more pics to compare  Couple more questions if I may. Are they the same actual mags as the other 21 rounders, and can the floor plates be easily swapped? Also can the jet funnel, or whatever they're calling it, be easily removed? Looks like a really ergonomic grip, just seems like it'd be a bit of a bitch to CCW with the beavertail and jet funnel... |

Maybe I'm slow this morning, but not quite registering your question...??? There isn't much that is NOT interchangeable. So I heard some chatter back innaday about the what-would-now-be-known as the X Series not being backwards compatible with the "standard" P320 line. I thought I read this on Soldier Systems but now I can't find the link. This was pre-M17 win. You say "there isn't much that is NOT interchangeable" but I'm wondering what those things are: What *are* the non-interchangeable bits? Can I put a Non-X barrel in an X-Slide? (this is my biggest question, as I'm thinking of buying a C-TB  or Carry-Tacops now and buying an X-Carry when they drop, swapping barrels). The FCU's appear interchangeable as units, so I'm not concerned about changing out individual FCU components, but the major assemblies I'm interested in compatibility data. |

Ah, I'm tracking now. No, you are correct. When this pistol was originally kinda/sorta shown off at SHOT 2016, it was called the "P320 Target" and it was NOT compatible with "standard" P320 components. It was really just a concept, at that point. However, when interest boomed and engineers got more serious, plans for production were introduced and compatibility with standard P320 components were a must. Hence where we are today with the "X Series" Putting a standard barrel in an X slide, shouldn't be an issue (assuming length compatibility, of course), but going the other way (X barrel in a standard slide) will, as a general rule, not work - this is due to the X coming with larger profile barrels, etc. |

Thank you coregon for the info and great pics! Now since the mags have a different profile from the tacops mags do you know if they are interchangeable between X5 and standard 320? The mag bodies of the X5 and TACOPS 21rd mags are the same - it's the extension/bottom plate that's different. |
|
Quoted:
The X5 21rd mags will work in any size/standard 320. The only issue you'll have with mags is trying to use an non-X5 in an X5. The mag bodies of the X5 and TACOPS 21rd mags are the same - it's the extension/bottom plate that's different. Since I haven't asked enough questions, any chance you can give us any kind of shooting report?

Oh damn I'm stupid. For some reason I thought you meant the mag BODY was tapered, I realize you meant the base pad now. But great info nonetheless. Thanks again so much. I'm very interested in this new grip profile, and looking into it a bit more has me pretty intrigued by the X Carry model. So many possibilities with this platform in general, it's very exciting. Since I haven't asked enough questions, any chance you can give us any kind of shooting report? Quoted:

Does any one know if the grip on the compact x5 and full size x5 are going to be the same? Everyone has seen this?: Attached File |

Yeah, I fixed that in my post with the pics of the mags. Sorry for the confusion. Shooting report? Get ready to sell any other pistol in the category Took a training class a couple weeks ago with my 320c and the instructor was talking about how he shot the X5 at SHOT Show and that he was planning on buying one when it comes out. Said it was incredibly smooth and flat shooting. Definitely got my interest piqued! |

I had decided to "pull the trigger", so to speak, on a new P320. However, I like the frame of the X much better, the only thing I don't like is the flat trigger.
Now I'm stuck, not sure which way to go. I was just about to buy a P320F-9-BSS. Now the X frame is calling me, but I don't like the trigger shape. Fairly certain I'm going to "invest" a fair amount in the 320 line. Just not sure about my strategy any more. |

You're FCU from your 320C will plug right into your X5 frame (see my pic above). If you just flat out don't want your X5 FCU, i'm sure it would command a pretty $ on the EE (you can't purchase any FCU separate from a complete package firearm). |
