The standard width Shield RMS has the same mounting dimensions as a Leupold Deltapoint, so a plate that works with the Deltapoint will also work with the Shield RMS.

Toying with the idea of getting a full size P320 X grip module, cutting out the opening for the M17's safety, and dropping the M17 FCU and slide group in the X grip module. I swapped some parts around between a M17 and an X5 to see if it is feasible, and it is. I really liked the flat trigger in the M17 grip module. Waiting on Grey Guns to put out some trigger kits.

Got a bit of time Sunday to fire 2 mags through the X five Sunday. Follow up shots are scary fast and accurate. Trigger is not as nice as the x carry but figure with use it will smooth out like the x carry did. Can't wait to see what it handles like with the Romeo on it.... should be loads of fun. Did run a mag through the carry as well just to keep muscle member fresh from holster to target.... gosh I love that gun..... I own 2 glocks now... both were gifts and can't sell them..... both have been cleaned and put up for indefinite storage most likely.

Nice looking setup G. Since I'll be using a Rock Island 1911A2 to compete with this year, I'll be modifying the X5 and M17 for competition and carry. Lots of ideas for both.

the TLR may end up on the X carry if I can find a good holster for the match and use for carry |

I see Comp Tac no longer list a holster for the P320 series, which is odd. I know a guy who uses a Comp Tac for his X5 and P320. Blade Tech doesn't list a holster for the X5 or the M17, and I know the full size P320 holster doesn't fit either one.

Let me know on the red dot, that would be simplest for me, probably.
Or I need to find a plate for an RMS |

As a shooter, I hate Glocks. As an armorer, I love Glocks. As a shooter, I like the Sig P320 series. As an armorer, I hate the Sig P320 series. The Sig fire control unit (FCU) is difficult to disassemble and reassemble and needs several tools, 2 right hands, and 2 left hands with 20 fingers. The Glock only needs 1 tool; 3 if your changing the magazine release, and I can get by with 8 fingers. A few months ago I installed a Grey Guns trigger kit in a X5. It took me 2 hours. It was a big improvement in the trigger, and I'm glad I did it, but I could have done 4 Glocks in the same amount of time, and had lunch too. I tried to install the same Grey Guns kit in a Sig M17 with the manual safety last night. After 3 and a half hours, I finally got it back together, and it didn't work. By the way, Grey Guns says the kit will work in the M17. I don't know how the U.S. Army expects to train armorers to support the M17, especially compared to the Glock's ease of support.

I still like the Sigs, and still hate the Glocks. And I pay someone else with more proficiency and knowledge to work on my guns - so the issues you outline are my smith's issues, not mine.
My Milt Sparks should be here shortly. I have high hopes. |

I have disassembled mine for cleaning but never had any issues. but I never fully disassemble the FCU either... just spray it out and oil it.... basic cleaning isn't that hard on it and i'd bet most folks would never disassemble to the point you did BF..... Yes Glocks are easy and a youtuber can become an armor for glock quick.... but sometimes I think its best if not everyone can tinker with FCU's in anything.... |
