Ken, I’m hoping you can help with a question that’s come up. 12131 made a post about the new US X5s compared to the German ones and noticed that the current X5 grips won’t fit the US guns while I used the contact form and got a reply from Mandy Gheza saying your grips will fit both guns.

Do those grips fit the US and German models, or is some modification needed to make that work?...

Also, what’s the difference between Piranha and Checkered grip textures?

Thanks.

ALL inspections shts. shows that the new model for the US X5 do not fit. We are currently on REV 4 for the US model and there is no indication of an modification to fit the German model. We are on REV E on the German model and ALL changes noted say nothing about fitting the US model.

We are however requesting grips and frames for BOTH models to see if anything can be done.
You'll have to give us time to evaluate. Once we know either way I will post it here for all to see.
