| To me, the grip looks much taller than the compact. quote: Originally posted by Shackelford: Nice! It looks like the tang/beaver tail is a lot higher, further forward than the standard Compact. How does the grip feel? I haven't seen one in the wild yet, but the more rounded grip looks more comfortable, but I like that backstrap.

While it fills the hand for it's height, it seems slimmer than the 320 Compact grip. Has a similar feel to the E2 style grip on the classic pistols. quote: To me, the grip looks much taller than the compact. I agree it does look that way but look at the 2nd pic I posted and you will see it's not much taller.

| Hit the indoor range this morning and put 100rds through it. Function was flawless and below you can see a pic of the 1st mag I put through it (Ammo was American Eagle 115gr FMJ). This was done at 10 yards. I shot it better than my 320 Compact that I just got back from the trigger recall. I did shoot several brands of ammo, including WWB, UMC Remington and American Eagle. Overall, recoil seemed less with the X-Carry but I'm sure that's just my imagination. I was very happy with it on this range trip.

Go ahead punk, make my day
| What kind of RMR / RDS can it fit? Romeos only?
How does that work with the sights currently installed? |

Yes it did. It's born on date is 11/7/2017 so it was done during production. quote: What kind of RMR / RDS can it fit? Romeos only? Romeo only. Not a big deal as I have no intention of putting one on anytime soon. If you do fit one, the plate with the rear sight is removed so you won't have a rear sight anymore. At this point I can't get into the RMR thing. I'm perfectly happy shooting with regular sights.

Good news. I wasn't aware. Thanks!!!

| Impatiently awaiting the arrival of my 320 X5 and Romeo 1. Shot one about 3 months ago and the red dot was awesome.... |

Still finding my way
| I played with one at my LGS. The trigger was pretty so-so but the grip module was a huge improvement over the standard P320. |

| I got one a few weeks ago. The grip fits my hand perfectly (but the hand is pretty wide with slightly short thick fingers) and it shoots great. I've been dunning the holster mfs, but no luck so far. |

| Been carrying mine for the past 2 days and it carries as easy as my P320 Compact. As far as anyone wondering about holsters it fits all of my P320 Compact holsters just fine.

Thank you, i was hoping someone had both to comment on holsters, need some for my x-carry, and i am glad to know the compacts work just fine.
