Sig Sauer P320 X-Carry Pro: Final Impressions

The X-Carry has been a real surprise. Now if only it continues that way.

[@MrJalowery]

I love my X-Carry. For my fellow civilians interested in owning this version it's very doable with a little extra investment, some of which you can recoup if you so chose. I bought the original X-Carry with the optic plate/rear sight. I really loved the grip, the trigger, the capacity(free state occupant here), the shooting experience and the accuracy. I slapped a Romeo 1 RDS on it but the lack of back up ironsight capability combined with my OCD kept me up at night and had me searching for a solution. Just as I began my quest it just so happened that Sig released the "pro cut" slide on their website. The compact size "'pro cut" slide is nearly identical to the slide in this video. The only difference is some additional, unnecessary lightning cuts however the optic plate cut is in front of the rear dovetail exactly as is the one displayed by this video. I bought it, only to discover that said optic cut did was not milled to receive the Romeo 1, instead it was cut to fit the Romeo Pro as well as the Delta Point Pro. Here's where the recoup comes in: I sold the original slide w/Romeo 1 and was able to add a few bucks and purchase the DPP. Add a set of Dawson Precision supressor height irons (the sig supressor height sights are too short) and you get the whole package. With the addition of the back up irons the firearm is now not only a joy to shoot, but IMHO trustworthy enough to for EDC status. Short story long, hopefully this novel that I just wrote helps to further inform any interested individuals as to some different possibilities in regards to this firearm. It really is a great gun.

I have the X Compact. Fits nicely in my hand and recoil and accuracy is as good as I would expect from any pistol that size. Only 2 round difference between Compact and Carry model.

[@ckim6400]

@Rabbi JesusI do have small hands! I don't sniff cabbage, maybe I do smell like cabbage? What's it smell like?

[@gustavoferro8578]

I’ve been watching several review of this particular pistol and I have to say, this is one of the best reviews. Very honest and pragmatic. Congrats and keep doing it. Cheers

[@ultimatepatriot]

Never change a Sig flat trigger dude :)

[@MDpolo]

I picked one up today. Haven't shot it yet so we'll see how it goes. Feels great in the hand. Thanks for the video!

[@peters303]

I have the same model only Coyote. It's so well balanced in the hand & with the long grip module, almost makes it too easy to shoot it accurately. Great trigger action. Bulky, but still concealable, giving you peace of mind you have plenty of rounds available.

[@MARXMAN2009]

now surpassed by X-Carry Legion

[@scoopthereal2353]

I own the X-carry and man I love it. First day shooting I was amazed. Shoots straight and awesome trigger .

[@MrSmith-zy2bp]

That mounting plate on the pro makes more sense than the P320-M17/M18. The screws on the outside instead of the inside of the slide where they could cause problems.

[@willman65parish2]

I contacted Sig customer service. The P320X Carry is not restricted to law enforcement. Good review!

[@1776orbust]

this is the pro series

[@sevwarfare]

X-Compact Pro is the better "Carry" choice. The pro version is being sold with an optic in the new RXP line. I've had mine for about 6 months with a Deltapoint Pro and X-RAY3 super tall sights. Excellent shooting pistol.

[@1776orbust]

Ultimately, that would be the site setup I would like to do.

[@InSightFreedom]

Still one of my favorite carry guns. Really even better with an optic than the X-ray sights. Sig really missed on the sights being at least set for Romeo 1 cowitness. Still no factory front sight option for that.

[@Mreassimak]

I have the xcarry, not the pro model and I love it! I got the apex trigger/bar and also had my grip stippled by Danger Close Armament and it really is a great firearm

[@Dc_7o2]

My next purchase will be the new sig p320 x carry tacops with suppressor height adjustable rear sight and threaded barrel.

[@jimmymassie8420]

I love my X Carry, I just sent the slide off to L&M precision to have it fit for the Delta point pro.

[@RichardSmith-ht7wi]

I bought this and a glock 45. Both are great guns. Thinking about buying another set of each.

[@channelcatchaser9426]

I just ordered an X carry grip module for my Sig. I wanted to be more like you!

[@1776orbust]

I don't blame you 😁

[@markhulvey6984]

These are also available to active duty and veterans. I have one and use the X compact frame on it. very nice in the hand.

[@scottf.3808]

Nice pistol as seems to be a good winner as I really like the guns they put out.....Good stuff...

[@frank4532]

I love the p320 I have 6 of them in different configuration and calibers.I had one problem with one of the 9mms It was sent back to Sig. They extracter came apart it was fixed at no charge and back to me in less than a month. I have not had any others problems at all. Have probably 1000 plus rounds through all of them

[@bertthebuilder4699]

Yeah bro! I got 4 never a issue they all vary alil. For instance my xfive trigger compared to the newest xcarry is worlds apart xcarrys trigger is so sos os so perfect. Im actually mad that xfive imo now sucks lol. My m17 i stopped counting at 6k rds but 7or7500 on it has only failed once, during a comp to but i believe i caused it. Amazing pistols!

[@willman65parish2]

The X Carry Pro sold for LEO has no lightning cuts on the slide. Looks a lot better and works as advertised.Great.

[@KeanonGilliamSlang369]

Nice detailed review review as always. I love my X-Series. If you want better recoil control, you can get the weight that goes into the grip. Also now that you have a X-Series you can customize to your liking. Grips, slides, barrels etc without buying another firearm. I know you don't like those NY waiting periods.

[@1776orbust]

good point 😁

[@tacbear]

I recently changed from 45 acp to a 9mm SIG P 320 and at 8 yards my first 10 shots went into a Ragged hole with 5 flyers. The group was about 1.5"

[@Hadd13]

great review

[@1776orbust]

thanks

[@brianmgregory857]

Just picked up a xcarry. Shoots really straight u I really like it a lot different than my glocks

[@obama_did_isis_9204]

Where would I get this? I can’t find a X-Carry pro anywhere

[@3wheelmannc860]

I am new to Sig and so far I'm impressed. My EDC is the P365 w/ manual safety. Fantastic pistol for is designated use. With that trigger, I would not have one without that "option". I only use it when I am holstering and immediately disengage it once in place. I know that is not mandatory, but that is my preference. As soon as Sig puts a manual safety on the P365 XL, I'll be getting that as well. Also, IMO this is better then the Hellcat. The Hellcat is very nice, but it is much snapper and has a heavier trigger.

[@dknollRX7]

I never understood why manufacturers make a slide optics ready, but then don’t have taller sights installed from the factory, so you can co-witness with an optic fitted.

[@Douglas-Ops]

Final, already? lol Glad it’s working out for you! That beaver tail seems like it helps w/ control (?) Maybe snappy, it ain’t no Steyr. It looks like a real solid gun. Great info thanks for sharing! 👍🏼

[@3a142]

Thanks for the heads up on some of the things, as for leo's only i just picked mine up last friday ( 2-19-21 ) now the deal does do a lot of business with different departments in the area. that being said i am not a leo and was not asked if i was. so maybe it is as you say or maybe left up dealers. waiting for weather to equel out some before taking her out.

[@clarencelampkin121]

If you would like to mitigate recoil on that firearm, try adding a Gas pedal similar to what they’ve been doing to glocks the little thumb shelf.

[@1776orbust]

I have heard about those gas pedals. However, I would always say that when I mentioned the word recoil. A lot of people are thinking I meant significance recoil What I was trying to say was that my initial thoughts about this gun was that there would be very very little due to the size of the grip. I did not find that initially but was able to ultimately control better through proper grip

[@clarencelampkin121]

I completely agree, I think this firearm is a very soft shooter. When you mentioned the first couple of were pushed to the left, I has a similar experience. This firearm seems very slippery to me , when I add the peddle I could bare down and get pretty good grouping. Take care

[@96stealth]

Clarence Lampkin Are there holsters that fit the gas pedal?

[@clarencelampkin121]

@@96stealthYes, I have a tenicore and it fit just fine. Also once you select a holster, loosen the tension insert pistol and blow dry to reshape the holster. Let cool and now it should fit like a glove. Good luck !!

[@idraw4me181]

I had one of these, but it was the older one with the site on the optic plate. I do want this version of it though once its available. Do wish they had the co-witness sites on it though, they dropped the ball there for sure.

[@rodburnette4114]

I just got the X Full model. Was firing 124 grain +P and it felt very snappy as well. I was expecting a lower recoil experience from a 9mm with a 4.7 inch barrel. Have only fired less than 100 rounds so hopefully it is something I will learn to manage. I enjoy shooting my full size XD .40 much more at this point.

[@1776orbust]

You definitely will.

[@willman65parish2]

Eighteen months ago, I listened to two KZbin videos (a Green Beret and the other a policeman) claiming that the 320X Carry is their choice for the best EDC gun available. Sig then decides it’s a threat to 365XL sales and discontinues it. Pissed off. However, today I finally found this very gun and bought it NIB for a good price. I have a AXG Scorpion, great shooting gun. Great trigger with minimum travel. Will retire my 365XL for EDC if the 320 XCarry is as good as the reviewers claim. Good appraisal 1776.

[@peters303]

Put the front sight dot over the center of the point of aim and align the rear sights accordingly. That should lift those rounds. Make sure your grip is solid, get your thumbs forwards, parallel to your forearms, that should help minimize the recoil. Practice makes perfect....or certainly should make improvements

[@c4_boom41]

Sights look similar to 365 sights. Not enough "air" between front sight and rear sights. Their size is exaggerated on this pistol due to how thick the pistol is.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Good video man

[@1776orbust]

thank you

[@mrgoodkat8567]

Nice video. My experience with the xacrry is different though. I feel that my p10c and also vp9 have worse recoil impulse and snappy muzzle rise respectively. The vp9, other than maybe the p99, is the snappiest compact 9mm ive ever shot in my life and ive owned the original spring weight and also the vp40 sprung vp’s. I hate shooting it. The p10c, though less snappy than the vp, delivers every bit of the recoil impulse in to the shooters had and wrist with how narrow the grip is. 115gr isnt bad but I typically shoot 124gr, mostly nato spec. Its definitely noticeable then. But i still love that gun. My xcarry has the window slide so maybe that has something to do with it but it has replaced the p10 as my main carry gun. I will more than likely carry that until i have enough money saved up for a tri-11 cmdr

[@davidhudson2527]

I have the X Compact and my support thumb would slip around on that takedown lever on the recoil, affecting my accuracy. Put the gas pedal on it, making my grip more solid for recoil control and my accuracy. 👍 Looks like the Apocalypse has visited that bombed out bomb shelter that has been mistaken for a gun range? 🙄

Curious as to why you guys think so? Whether it’s home defense or carry I’m not putting my finger on the trigger until I intend to fire and then when I do I want the shortest take up and reset I can get to fire and/or put multiple rounds on target as quickly as possible. I’m not saying you’re wrong, I would just like to know your thought process to get to that conclusion. Thanks.
