Alright, here we go! Initial impressions on the ACE320 grip module: https://content.invisioncic.com/r270761/monthly_2020_03/7DD7F155-A7E9-4898-AA5A-0BE3D9A63701.jpeg.8d8da077357072c3f59d5c90e3b71072.jpeg https://content.invisioncic.com/r270761/monthly_2020_03/37E0BEB2-DBF4-4AC8-BA7D-51955B4EC1B2.jpeg.88101c1d86d4a4d11ec960b83c3e2856.jpeg The module is very well made and finished with no visible machine marks on the outer surfaces. The weight compared to the stock X-Carry grip module is immediately noticeable, it feels like it weighs about the same as an X-Carry grip + a full magazine. https://content.invisioncic.com/r270761/monthly_2020_03/C3BCB03B-136F-4C0F-9051-CC9FF3772652.jpeg.74a738dbd071029dc09139283b6572a2.jpeg https://content.invisioncic.com/r270761/monthly_2020_03/8A6B249B-440F-4F69-84E5-74EF1B0FFDCD.jpeg.5c554f875c68b4df1b63553788d284f9.jpeg The tolerances are quite tight but not unreasonably - It takes a bit more effort to get the FCU fully seated and the takedown lever is tighter to insert and manipulate. Everything installs in a very reassuringly sturdy manner. https://content.invisioncic.com/r270761/monthly_2020_03/4D78FDDA-B8EE-45F0-AC2A-260260FA81C5.jpeg.9c5cf10c05bbe3bf7cf5d24ece216df9.jpeg When holding the grip, a few things become immediately apparent. The texture is grippy enough, but unfortunately no more so than the standard polymer grip module (it’s certainly no 2011 micropocket grip texture). If you’re looking at using this grip module for a competition pistol and want maximum grippyness, I’d recommend buying the Blank version that comes with a completely smooth grip and allows you to either machine or laser-engrave your own texture, or provides for a perfect blank surface to apply grip tape or silicone carbide. The rear beavertail area is slightly thinner on the ACE320 grip than the X-Carry, but not as much as I’d personally prefer. Those with larger hands who like the bulk of Sig’s X-Five and X-Carry grips over the standard grip modules will still appreciate the profile of the ACE320. https://content.invisioncic.com/r270761/monthly_2020_03/7DDFC57D-53EF-4D5E-8F64-5D8C831A04B4.jpeg.4aaeff2dd609c2dc2f956da52251247b.jpeg Magazines are a tiny bit sticky going in and out of the grip, which I imagine is at least partially due to the cerakote finish and should improve with use (same thing happened with my Black Multicam cerakoted X-Carry grip when it was new). That said, all of my magazines seat easily, drop free even when empty, and lock the slide open on empty as they should. https://content.invisioncic.com/r270761/monthly_2020_03/F5E07016-C8AF-486A-BF1A-76B962FC0CD6.jpeg.0f61338825d0b5690e04c464d190657e.jpeg Some quick things I like; - Quality, tolerances, fit/finish, and function are all on point. Everything fits and works as it should in my preliminary manipulations. - Ergonomics marginally improved over the Sig X-Carry grip. - Extra weight. Gives the pistol an overall more substantial and high-quality feeling in the hand, and will help to absorb recoil when shooting. - More specific to my purposes, but the dustcover area seems to be more than substantial enough and within proper dimensions for installing an optic mount for a non-reciprocating red dot. Some things I don’t like or wish they would have included (much of this is subjective); - Carry proportions. Every aftermarket company producing or developing a grip module for the platform seems to think the Carry variant is the only one on the market. Hopefully true Fullsize and Compact variants will be in development at some point in the future. - Ergonomics could be further improved over the X-Carry with an even thinner beavertail area, better grip texture, etc. - No provision for mounting Sig’s X-Series magwell. I’m not sure why this wasn’t included, one of their earlier prototypes did include this feature and considering it’s as easy as machining two small slots and a screw hole in the bottom of the grip module, it’d be an easy added value. Overall, I’m extremely pleased with this as a first iteration. I’m very excited to see what Icarus Precision does with future improvements as they receive more customer feedback. I should have time to get shooting impressions very soon and will make sure to update everyone further with more use. https://content.invisioncic.com/r270761/monthly_2020_03/8670646B-91EC-4230-950A-CEBD626D7CF2.jpeg.fe840b3d526c7c0f1ce5770adbbf5d0e.jpeg If anyone has any specific questions or requests for pictures that aren’t covered here, feel free to post a request and I’ll do what I can to satisfy your curiosity! |

After spending a while watching tv last night and inserting/ejecting an empty mag in the ACE320 module, whatever initial stickiness that was there at first is no longer present. I believe there was just a bit too much friction between the magazine and the grip due to the cerakote, but after a few dozen cycles of inserting and ejecting the magazine those friction points have smoothed out and not only do the magazines drop free, they pop out with authority as with a standard polymer grip module

Thanks for the info. For your intended use and wanting to solid mount a red dot I can see how this makes sense. For me though I can't see the advantage over something like the WC module. I think something like this will be popular for gun gamers but for a fighting gun I see a lot of down sides. If they made a v2 I'd like to see provisions for a magwell, aggressive texturing on the front and back strap and removable grip panel inserts with multiple options avilable including G10. If they really wanted to impress they could make cut outs along the sides of the frame for G10 panels for a thumbs forward grip or make a mount that works there for gamers who want to solid mount a red dot. They could even make it MLOK compatible. I'd also like to see a true 1913 rail. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I’m interested to see how the Icarus Precision grip changes the shooting experience on similar setups... Side note, I got my Gram engineering 13 coil mag spring and follower today. It completely removed the rattle and failure to feed issue I was having with the 17rnd mags with the TTI +5 extension. I was able to load 23 rounds in the mag but decided to keep it at 22 rounds to make it easier to insert on a closed slide. I ordered two 11 coil springs to replace my compact mags and TTI extensions for my EDC set up from Ben Stogers shop because they were a littlest less exspensive. They never shipped and late Friday night I got an email telling me they were back ordered. Lesson learned I guess. From now on I'm only going to order that kind of stuff from Springer Precision. Just a quick update to the mag thing. I’ve decided to use the +5 extensions on my 21 round mags giving me 27 rounds. At $100 a mag with the mods I just can’t justify that cost to get 1 extra round over the 21 round mags. With the 21 round mag paired with the TTI +5 extension and the Gram engineering 13coil mag spring and follower I can get 27 rounds in the mag. I can actually get 28 but I’m keeping them to 27 because it is easy to load the pistol with the slide closed with 27 rounds. I think I am going to convert my 17 round mags to 20 rounders using the TTI +2 and GE 11 coil follower kit. The 27+1 set up with my X-Compact. My X-Carry is out of service since my slide is out for a project.  Attached File |

The biggest hurdle I see is how do you holster it? I think in the next 10-15 years manufacturers are going to have to re-think slide design. The Laugo Arms Alien type design is where we are headed most likely IMO. This would solve a lot of those issues with holsters and even durability concerns with smaller RDS. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/73787/IMG_7537_JPG-1308009.JPG https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/73787/IMG_7536_JPG-1308011.JPG Quote HistoryQuoted:

I became a proud P320 uncle today when my brother picked up his new M18! He’s already got a Romeo1Pro, X300U, Phlster Floodlight IWB/OWB holsters, and Phlster Arc switches on the way for it at my recommendation. He’s pretty happy with it so far - We’ll be going for some family range time soon once he gets all the extras delivered and installed. It’s a pretty nice gun, I’m already thinking about what I’d do to one if I purchased one for myself... |

 The EVO320 is comped, thanks to a new threaded barrel and compensator from Killer Innovations. Let’s get this out of the way - aesthetically the compensator will be...Polarizing at best. I didn’t particularly like the visual design much when I ordered it myself. What I did like was the unique construction that allows for tool-less disassembly and re-installation (after initial setup) that will allow me to completely remove the barrel from the slide for cleaning. The permanent comps on the RS320s don’t make cleaning a nightmare, but it’s certainly a bit more of a hassle. Having a compensator that I can take off and put back on without tools, that doesn’t have to be timed or loctited each time was worth the questionable aesthetics to me (my general rule of thumb is “function over form, but form where possible”). That said, after getting the comp and barrel installed and mocking up the optic mount to finally see the overall picture, the intricate compensator combined with the machined grip module and frame-mounted optic is giving the EVO320 a bit of a cyberpunk vibe in the aesthetics department - and I must admit, I kind of like that;

 Future EDC < > Current EDC. “You’re not really going to carry a full-on Open gun for EDC CCW, are you?” Yes, yes I am. “But why?!” Because I finally can. Thanks to the inevitable intersection and availability of high-quality concealment holsters, rugged miniaturized pistol red dot sights, precision match-grade aftermarket component support, and the boringly reliable modular core architecture of the P320 platform, the dividing line between the absolute optimal performance configuration for any handgun and what is practical to conceal and carry on a daily basis is about to be obliterated. This is not a race gun. This is the next evolution of the modern fighting pistol. This is the EVO320 project |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Close, it is a manual ejector! Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Extractor. Final answer. Close, it is a manual ejector! I was going to say, I suppose under certain conditions it could function indirectly as an extractor, particularly with a stuck case

So, umm...How’s the weather where y’all are at?
I swear I’m not getting impatient about getting the EVO320 back. Nope. Not at all... |

 In true fashion to the saying “idle hands are the devil’s workshop”, while the EVO320 is out getting some plastic surgery (metal surgery?) from my ‘smith, I’ve been thinking about different things I could do with this spare FDE grip module I’ve had for a while now. I’m leaning towards the possibility of a RS320 Mini, using a X-Compact as the starting point and utilizing the Parker Mountain Machine Micro compensator. When added to the 3.6” X-Compact slide, the PMM Micro compensator creates an overall length that’s flush with the Compact dustcover: https://www.parkermountainmachine.com/store/p417/PMM_P320__Micro_JTTC_and_Barrel_Combo_.html Curse this fantastically modular and modifiable platform...I am never gonna financially recover from this |

That sounds pretty damn sweet. Now you have me thinking about that barrel/comp on my Xcompact with a compact Wilson Combat grip module

I may look into that, my X-Compact is my new carry gun and that sounds really cool |

PMM’s stuff is well engineered and backed with quantified data. Their method of mounting is a bit more complicated than just set screws or KI’s system, but it allows them to produce wizardry similar to the Agency Arms NOC and Sage Dynamics edition pistols with very little added length with a very effective comp:

Also is the barrel cut for a loaded chamber indicator that comes with the X-Compact? |

I imagine at worst you’d just have to remove the LCI from your X-Compact slide, but don’t take my word for it |

I was just going to buy a match barrel for my M18 and call it finished but now thanks to you I'm going to be buying PMM barrels and comps for my M18 and X-Compact.
