I picked this up last week and just got a chance to shoot it yesterday. Between the heavy frame and the comp, it shoots flat, despite its high bore axis. Trigger is great by striker standards and I love the grip texturing. I think its laser engraved or something. Got it at my LGS for $1480 + tax. I'm not even a big P320 fan, but I love this pistol and I also like my AXG Pro.

Who has one? Thoughts?

Please enjoy pics. The gun has some nice attention to detail...


























Here is it with my P320 AXG Pro...

I don't have one and nothing to add other than your collection is unreal.Very cool stuff. You will have to post back with a range report.

I have one and I really enjoy it.

I would love to have one. Really nice!

Nice! I don't have one but I have the same AXG Pro and I'm very happy with it.

When we had them they sold like crazy. Now that we're sadly an Iron Curtain state, it'll be interesting to see if our customers grovel over the gun at 10+1 like they once did when 21+1 rounds of fun was the standard. Personally I think it suffers too much from 'tin worm', but the look of the slide seems to hit all of the right buttons for that particular sector of the gun-buying public.

I just picked up one primarily to use the SPECTRE grip on my P320 Max for USPSA.

Anyway……..I picked up the gun from guns.com and had it shipped to my local gun store and went to the range right away. It was difficult to cycle the action, and I got multiple stovepipes with federal 115 range ammo. Also stovepipes with 150 syntech action pistol.

What ammo seems to run the best in this gun and is there a break in period ?

Thanks

Ditto.

What the heck is tin worm?

'Tin worm' is a phrase used in automotive circles to describe holes and general rot in sheet metal, structural members and bodywork. I guess 'tin carpenter ants' or 'tin termites' didn't quite have the same ring to it, so 'tin worm' became the saying. In the context of guns, I've used it (somewhat condescendingly, I admit) to describe all of the lightening holes that are prevalent in pistol slides these days, those 'cutouts for the sake of cutouts' that pistol customizers and modders seem to lust after and promote in recent times.

Thanks for the explanation.
I tried looking it up, but most definitions just mentioned rust which, whatever we may think of the gun, doesn’t apply here. I guess we can now expect the term to be come the latest descriptor du jour for things we don’t like about guns even though it’s completely unrelated to its original usage.

(I don’t like all the holey slides these days either, but not being forced to purchase them my only question is how such lightening cuts affect durability and reliability. At one time it was obvious that SIG fine tuned slide weights for different cartridge powers, evidently for those reasons. Does that not matter now?)

Thanks for explaining that, I too looked it up and found rust. lol

I prefer not to have lightening holes and really hate when people call them lightning holes. Done with a easy touch I can live with them. Sig does not have an easy touch. I have a Sig pro shop slide for a 320 that I bought so I could add an optic. It is fugly. This too is fugly to my eye. Sig, less is more.

How does the Spectre shoot compared to the AXG?

Very cool duo

I'll be the token Debbie Downer. For ~$1500, no thanks. Not a fan at all of the slide cuts, slide serration geometry, and TiN trigger and barrel.

I'd sooner build my own with a P320 X-Carry Pro slide, Grayguns grip module, and Parker Mountain Machine JTTC.

If you like it, that's all that counts.

I am thinking of adding a new pistol to carry and I was about to get a 365 xl spectra but I am also considering the spectra comp. I just wonder if the comp will be worth the extra bucks? Or do the spectra cut do anything except lighten up the slide?

I don’t mind slide cuts. You should see my 2011 collection

Also, it’s one of the least expensive handguns I’ve bought in the past five years. Definitely worth $1500 in my opinion.

Amazing, change the angle of the flutes and toots and we have a new model. And put on a compensator that ten years ago was going to burn your face off when you shot from the hip.

Which one wins at the range?

I prefer the Spectre Comp at the range over the AXG
