Did you get around to finger bangin' that P320 RX yet? After much looking around and research I think that is what I am going with for my next purchase.
They are solid platforms, I have 2 320s. They eat everything up and the stock trigger is really great. Probably not as good as the P99 IMO, but it is splitting hairs. Can't wait to see range pics from the RX.
Sorry for shit bagging it up guys there's been a few things going on.
First and foremost, I took zero pictures. Only a video of me getting my John Wick on and if we're calling a spade a spade here - I'm no John Wick.
Accuracy was out of the box spot on, the Romeo1 Red Dot is a 3moa system and was DOPEd in at 15 yards. I particularly like this system over the traditional optics such as the RMR or the Leupold Delta. The dot is crisp, adjustable (like most) and has a pneumatic system where it turns on when manipulated and off after a period of time. I did not however, in hindsight, test if it activates when holstered and walking.
When I say this thing is a tack driver, I'm absolutely serious. It requires absolutely no adjustments and is fully complimentary of what one could expect of a Sig Sauer. The high rise night sights are accurate as well, no adjustments are necessary and they are clearly visible in all shades of light in the event your Romeo dies out (has not yet happened with me).
The platform is a modular system, for those who researched the P320, it is a polymer frame with metallic removable chassis. These chassis are the serialized system. Changing calibers requires a standard break down and a 2 or 3 step removal of the chassis which can be dropped in any other P320 platform.
! Buyer Beware - currently, the .45 caliber P320 is a standalone system only.
! I called Sig Sauer and they confirmed that they are working on a corrective action for the chassis / .45 caliber system compatibility.
! 9mm, .357 Sig, 40 S&W are the currently available calibers - the chassis can be dropped into sub compact, compact, and full sized systems
! only the chassis are serialized, this means you can order a caliber exchange kid (slide, frame, barrel, & spring) straight to your home.
The trigger is amazing and the rounds cycle through with ease. I prefer to use Federal Aluminum - its a solid target round with great historical performance for me and is soft on the chamber. All rounds cycle through and the best part is that a box of 100 rds costs south of twenty dollars. (yes, really)
I have no way of knowing the trigger pull weight, but it was a lot less than a Glock. I love Glock and I now love Sig equally. The trigger reset was sharp, noticeable, and rested right at the edge of firing. The strike is crisp & smooth and I'm glad Sig maintained a nice and large, metallic trigger without the bullshit that typically shows up on Polymer pistols.
! There are no manual safety mechanisms on the system, keep this in mind.
The weapon is balanced but still holds a slight bit more weight distribution at the slide. The slide is full sized and strong - follow on shots were easy to maintain either stationary or bounding (laterally, horizontally & angled). I did not bench rest or over analyze the zero of the Romeo1 - I was immediately satisfied when rounds were hitting (often literally within the inch) exactly where I had intended them. Had I bench rested and put the time in, I would imagine that the pistol would have keyhole'd more than a few rounds.
The mag capacity is 17 + 1 for the chamber. If you are in the mood for a 3 gun or just a full sized 9mm, this option which I purchased at $802.00 (includes the tax) is a steal. RMRs, Leupold Delta's cost hundreds of dollars. Sig produces its own and combines it with a great pistol for a cost they can afford and no one else can match.
The pistol has had zero malfunctions, none at all, has been on target out of the box, and has been a dream to shoot since I pulled it out of the box 3 or 400 rounds ago. I feel like I'm at the cusp of the break-in period, leaving me with the assumption that it will run even better soon.
The only negative aspect to this pistol are holster options. The raised night sights and Romeo1 leave little options. Blackhawk's P320 / 226 holster has worked for me, despite the fact that the night sights mar and dig into the inside of the holster. Fortunately, the sights are metallic and the holster is soft inside (I intend to lightly file the inside of the holster soon to avoid this issue).
Hope this review helps you guys in your decision.
