Anyone else running the Polymer 80 P320 grip module?

This thing feels fantastic!

I'm not crazy about the proprietary Glock-style plastic magazine release, but everything else about it is awesome.

There is no running allowed in SIGforum.

You could shoot your eye out.

I have some Glock 17/19 ones but broke them down when I realized they are coming after the non-serialized polymer 80 guns, so I broke them down and sold them off..

Regarding your grip did you make a comparison between the stock grip and the polymer 80? how the the sizes compare is the 80 a little bigger? I've heard the texture on the 80 is better than the stock grip.

Just put one on my full size 9mm and love it! It’s a bit blockier than the X grip and Wilson, but it feels better in my hand. Taking it to the range tomorrow to see if it shoots as good as it feels.

I have a bunch of different SIG factory grips including the AXG. I have to say so far I prefer the P80 one to all of them. The texture feels superb. Not too grippy, but not slick. It is a more "boxy" feeling grip if that makes sense. It feels more akin to a H&K USP, but with a 1911 grip angle. I would not say it's larger than factory. If feels like the web of my hand gets higher up the backstrap and the beavertail feels more comfortable.

Here are some pics if they help (Polymer 80 on the left):









I figured the P80 stuff would be sort of sketchy quality. I'm happy to admit I was wrong. Apparently there is an aluminum magwell coming out for it too.

So...2X4 ergonomics made (in)famous by Glock is now available for the P320? Well at least Poly80 didn't bring the backstrap palm swell along as well.

To me the usual rectangular cross-section grip shape that Poly80 uses for its Glock blanks is summarily worse than the blocky factory grip of the typical Glock of any generation.

I have one of the P80 grip modules. I love the texture. The boxy feel noted by KevH keeps me from preferring the P80 grip, though. It doesn't fit my hand/finger size.

So far, I like the AXG grips the best...but the price...ouch! Off topic... I wish Sig would release a compact (15rd) AXG grip module that accepts a small magwell. That would go great with a 3.9" or 3.6" upper.

So what holster are you using with the p80 and the x300-u

I wasn't impressed since they retain the wide upper section where the web of the hand sits, just like the factory X frame.

The factory and WC grip modules are thin in this area, which works far better for a thumb forward grip, and least for my hand size.


TXPO

I've not laid hands on one of these myself, but from looking at it, one thing I prefer about it over the X-Grip is that it seems to have at least some manner of a plastic fence under the slide stop lever. It's not as pronounced as the standard factory grip module, but at least it's there. The X-grips just leave that thing hanging out there to get bumped or snagged on stuff, and I've seen it cause problems for a few shooters.

Seems like almost all of this stuff (except texture) is completely dependent upon hand size and shape.

Some people are going to perfer certain grips because it "fits their hand better."

Other people with bigger or smaller hands or longer or shorter fingers are going to have their own favorite grips. I suppose gun-makers just go with the averages and try to make a grip that will work "okay" for the largest percentile group.

That should rule out bb guns, too.

Red ryders, especially.

I like the P80, Wilson and the AXG and have a gun in each one.
