Are X5 grip modules available in different sizes, (S,M,L) or are they all one size?

Large hands here.

Thanks!


I am to understand that size variations are in the works.

Will an X5 slide work on a standard, full sized P320 frame/trigger?


Yes, it will.

A buddy just got a P320X5 and loaned it to me to evaluate... I'm actually quite disappointed to be honest. Looking at it side by side with my P320 Full size literally the only thing I like better about the X5 is the rear sight. I have a Heinie rear and Dawson Precision front sight on my standard P320 so the front sights are the same.

The trigger isn't any better in the X5, the frame on the standard feels better than the X5 to me. The grip on the X5 is way too boxy and I don't seem to be able to get as high on the backstrap because of the thicker, longer beavertail. The slide and barrel are the same length. The fact that you can't use un-modified 17rnd P320 magazines also sucks, like WTH SIG???

The rear sight on the X5 is awesome though. I can't see paying $400 for a rear sight and a mag well.

I'll put a few rounds through my full size, standard P320 and the P320X5 this weekend and see if I can tell any difference actually shooting them but at this point I'm pretty disappointed in SIG. I think I would have been happier with the vaporware P320 "Target" shown at the 2016 SHOT show than I am so far with the X5.

Sorry Bruce. I'm actually a SIG nut, I have 19 of them at this point including a couple rifles but I have to be honest with my first impressions.


Thanks for that review. Answered a couple of my questions.

So does anyone have Romeo 1's in stock? My buddy bought an x5 and can't find a dot.
