X-carry questions

So, I'm looking at getting an X-carry and an X-5

Ive seen pics of the X-carry with both fixed and adjustable rear sights, are there different skews are are people simply buying X-5 rear sights and popping that plate on in place of the stock sights?

Also, the X-carry appears to use a NON-funneled full size frame that is shorter in the snout for the shorter slide and barrel. Correct?

Have you ever handled an x-carry? That trigger is the very definition of spongy.. I much prefer the regular 320 trigger

I’ve never seen adjustable sights on the X carry? Hard to change them out I would think since they are attached to the removable plate. Yes, the grip is shorter in the snout. Matches the Compact barrel length. My X carry is amazingly accurate. The Greyguns Trigger helped some. I have the same Trigger set up in another P320, and the X Carry is more accurate. Maybe something to the pre tensioned barrel?

Thanks for the info. The X-carry in question in on gun broker. I'm thinking they put an X-5 sight plate on the X-carry, assuming they are compatible.

Can you post a link of the gunbroker ad? I’m curios about it.

Thanks

I echo dc54, I have both, the sights on the full size X5 and the X-Carry are different. The FS X-5 has a Dawson Fiber Optic front sight, and has an adjustable rear site. While both have the removable plate for an MRO, the X-Carry does not have the same adjustable rear sight. Completely different.

Yeah, that looks like a standard X5 slide plate. The standard X Carry is nothing like that plate.

Thanks for posting. I agree it looks like an x-five rear sight. I didn't know this was possible. I have an X-Carry and X-Five and could try it but I'm out of town right now.

Neat looking pistol though....
