Keep in mind that Deltapoint and Deltapoint Pro are different plates.
Shield has the same mounting pattern as Deltapoint and Jpoint. ILya

I do not think Deltapoint Pro shares footprint with anything else out there. The location of the screws seems the same as Deltapoint, but locating posts are larger in diameter and sight body is different in length and width. ILya

I dont know if the FiveX has similar trigger to the regular 320, but 320 is not drop safe. You can send it to sig and have them fix it with a glock safety style trigger. I've owned and carryed alot, but what I always go back to is my Glock 26 for. Its just practical. |

The X5 didn't have the drop issues the regular 320s did. The trigger has less mass and therefore didn't need to be changed. Omaha Outdoors the people who first discovered the drop issue tested the X5 and couldn't get it to fire. The upgraded 320s do not have a "Glock" style safety trigger. The new trigger is much thinner among other changes. |

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

Nope, sorry, I'm a Smith and Wessonite. I do believe a M&P has a cylinder though.

Before the days of the wonder nines, a 4 inch Model 19 or 66 with a speed loader or two loaded with 125gr, JHP .357 Magnums was all you needed. Maybe a Walther PPK/S with an extra mag or two for a backup. Then the wonder nines became popular, but all I could do was increase the number of speed loaders to four, and keep a shotgun in the car.

Glocks tend to have love/hate relationships with their owners.
I'll cast my vote with Rancid Coolaid and BeltFed. Glock pistols did set higher standards for capacity, reliability, and durability. They also established new lows for ugliness, bad triggers, and awkward grips. koshkin, you are indeed fortunate. You may be one of the few people the Glock grip actually fits! The "Glock Perfection" mantra is simply self-adulation. Trigger - Glock is responsible for the little "thingy" in the middle of many of today's pistol triggers. I loathe the damnable things. The Glock factory trigger causes a blister (and then a cut) on my trigger finger. In addition, it gives a false sense of contact, being further forward than the real trigger. Taking up the initial slack feels like the trigger on an 1891 Argentine Mauser. Unfortunately, things go downhill from there. There's an additional long take-up instead of a short, sharp click. Most of the cap pistols I played with as a kid had better triggers than the Glock. Grip - The Glock grip is too big and awkward, for no reason. It causes the gun to point unnaturally high for most shooters. Hand any new shooter a Glock 19, after he or she has tried several other pistols, and they will immediately tell you that! If Jeff Cooper hadn't popularized the two-handed grip, the Glock would have made it necessary. It is proof positive that humans can adapt to almost anything. Glock did finally get rid of the finger grooves, which surely must have fit at least one person (but not my medium-sized hands). I've owned the Glock 23 in Gen 1, 2, and 3 versions. The Gen 3 was improved enough to warrant some custom work. I had Cylinder and Slide do a grip reduction (with stippling). They did a great job. This changed the grip angle back to normal (i.e., the same as most other pistols). The pistol is now a natural pointer, which I consider critical for any self-defense gun. I replaced the trigger with a considerably better after-market trigger. It is a distinct improvement, but still far from perfect. I also added a set of TruGlo night sights. My Glock 23 now works as carry gun. Also, as a "wake up in the middle of the night" gun with night sights and plenty of rounds in case there's more than one intruder. (Bad guys often travel in twos and threes.) So yes, I own and use a Glock. It is unlikely that it will ever be one of my favorites, but it does do certain things very well. |

Got to handle a 320 compact over the weekend at the LGS.... very nice trigger..... debating now if I want to pick up the compact or get the x-carry....... Not sure I like the full size grip on the x carry so will probably go compact but I do like the gun feel. They did not have a PPQ..... still want to handle one
