Had the opportunity to handle one this past weekend. The grip is smaller than I anticipated and the trigger was actually quite nice. Especially compared to the other FN striker pistols I?ve shot. I?d say it was better than the Smith M&P 10mm and on the same level as my Sig XTen.

It?s supposed to be a Shot Show release. Fingers crossed. As the MSRP is $799, I figure it will eventually go for the mid to high $600 range. I?ve seen their full size 10mm around $610 locally.

This looks interesting. It is on my ?going to check it out? list for certain.

Thanks for the pics, couldn't get mine to load..I agree with your assessment as mine shot perfect as well. Most 320s I put a Wilson combat grip on but this one is actually very good.ergos are great. I just got some 220g Hardcastle from underwood, should be a hammer..ingot lucky, my m lgs got a couple extra mags before they got the gun, so I snagged them ahead of time.

Nice! I?ve not been able to find mags anywhere.  :'(

Evening Yurei, depending on your location, it should be there soon. We are aprx 600 miles from Underwood, and always arrives in 2-3 days. Congratulations on your Sig by the way, looking to get one myself

Thanks for the info. Now if I didn?t feel like such a moron. I hoped the shipment would be here Friday but I sort of screwed up. I kept looking for a shipped notification only to discover that the order never went through. Not sure how I managed to mess that up but just placed the order today?.  Bugger.

Have some 165 Gold Dot and 115 Defender on the way. Hopefully the chronograph will be available at the club.

Well, first range trip went very well. Sadly I haven?t taken delivery of my Underwood order, but did put 150 rounds of 180 grain S&B, Sig and Blazer Brass through it, plus a box of 175 Grain Silvertips with 100% reliability. I was fully expecting a bobble or two during the break-in but it just gobbled it up and begged for more.

Observations:

1) Subjective recoil is less than my G20sf with the same ammo. It?s not quite as soft as my P220 Elite, but it weighs significantly less.
2) The slide is easier to run than either the G20 (better ergos) or the P220 (much lighter recoil spring)
3) The X-ray fixed sights are nice and were dead-on at 25 yards with all 4 ammo types. A nice feature of this version of the P320 is that the rear sight is separate from the optics mounting plate.
4) Transitions from plate to plate were quick (for me) and the pistol stayed on target much better than either my G20 or P220.
5) The trigger is already beginning to show signs of smoothing out. Additionally it shows no propensity to ?bite? the bottom of my finger (pinching some flesh between the trigger an trigger guard) which does occasionally happen with the G20 if I get sloppy on finger placement.
6) The grip is outstanding. No need for Talon grips on this one.

Cons:
1) Mold flashing on the frame and mag baseplates. A little work with a sharp blade took care of it, but annoying nonetheless.
2) The optic cut is for (no surprise) the Sig Romeo 01 Pro footprint. Sig recommends their Romeo 02 for durability. The other native choices are the Romeo 01 and the Leupold DPP. Everything else will need an adapter plate and, given the slide velocity, I?m not sure about those.
3) Early adopter problems - Extra mags are unobtainium. Nobody has this model listed for holsters. You can?t use any other FCUs in this model. No other frame sizes or slide/barrel lengths available yet. (Glock 19 sized 10mm? Yes please!)

So far, I?m quite happy with the new X-Ten. Hopefully my Underwood shipment will be here for next weekend.

Stopped in at the local arms peddler this morning to pick up some ammo and, as soon as they saw me walk in, they waved me over and said ?We just got something in for you!?

Turns out, they received 4 of the new X-Tens yesterday evening and set one back for me knowing I?d be in this morning to pick-up the Wife's surprise P365xl Spectre. Needles to say, two new Sigs came home today. (I paid $799 for it. I?m happy with that especially seeing ?early adopter? pricing up to $1600 in some places!)

First thing you notice is just how ergonomic the grip is. Honestly, I cannot tell the difference in grip size versus our X-Five Legion and the X-Ten. It?s amazing that they slimmed this down so much. As much as I like my G20SF, it feels like the ?80s design it is in comparison.

The grip texture is pretty much spot on for me, locking my hands in place without being overly abrasive.

The X-Ray sights are a nice touch, and I like the fact that this P320 model has the optics plate separate from the irons. I may actually break down and add a dot on this. Wonder if anyone has a green dot that can take the abuse?

The trigger is a better than normal version of the X-frame flat trigger, lighter than my V-Tac, but not as good as the X-Five Legion. I?d say it is a very good ?service? trigger with decent reset and only a bit of creep. If it?s like my V-Tac, it will get better with use.

I?m hoping to get to the range tomorrow to start the break-in period. Pics below.









Oh, and here?s the Wife?s surprise. She?s wanted one for months and I grabbed it on a Memorial Day sale for $799, so she?s happy as well.

It's up on Ruger's Website:

My wallet is getting that emptying feeling....

Just spotted this on the Lipsey's Website:

This could be a fun one!

Was able to lay hands on at Bud's in Sevierville today. $750 and very tempting!

Good information! How did the chamber support look?

From visual inspection, it looked very good. It seems Springfield did their homework. Unfortunately, I was not able to field-strip the weapon and drop a round in the chamber to check. While the owner and I are on really good terms (He's even asked me to step behind the counter to help out during a rush), that might have been pushing it just a bit too far.

One thing that I forgot to mention is that I was very glad to see that it had a GI-style recoil spring plug instead of a full-length guiderod like the Wife's EMP that requires a capture tool for field stripping.

My local store finally got a pair of the S/A 10MMs last week  (one each of the 5" and 6") and I was able to handle the 5" on Saturday.  Now this is merely one random guy's opinion on a sample of one, so please take that for what it is worth.

First impression was that this thing was built like a tank. It felt much more "solid" than the SR1911 10mm and even slightly tighter than the DW Silverback 10mm that it shared the case with. It also had a stiffer recoil spring (by feel) than either of the other two as well. I quite liked the "checkering" pattern as it provided a good grip without the cheese-grater effect the .45 TRP has. The trigger was a little disappointing, about equal to the Ruger but not in the same class as the Dan Wesson,  nor the .45 TRP they had on the shelf. It has a little creep and grit and felt like it was in the 5.5# range. (The store owner said that the 6" was already sold but that it had a better trigger, on par with the standard TRP.)

One thing that surprised me was the slight, but noticeable, gritty feel I got when working the slide. Granted, this was fresh out of the box with no cleaning and only the factory lube, but even the store owner (a fellow 10mm fan) agreed that it was odd. The combination of the recoil spring and the grittiness kept the Wife from being able to work the slide, even with the hammer cocked, which she disliked immensely. (6' Scots-Irish Redhead who considers any failure like this a personal insult.) On the other hand, we both agreed that the sights were a big step-up from the Ruger and that the finish and grips were quite nice. She is a devotee of the house of Browning, and joins me in the dislike of a rail on any 1911, however, it doesn't look as out of place in person as it does in photos.

All the controls were fit nicely and had a very "quality" feel to them. The safety had a positive click on and off and was lacking the sharp edge all too common on the bottom of many levers. Even the left-side lever was solid without the vertical play that seems to plague ambi-safeties. And what I could see of the underneath of the slide (locked back) showed  good machining and no obvious marks or swirls.

All in all, I liked it better than I thought I would. Granted, the grittiness in the slide and the trigger were a touch disappointing, and I still don't care for rails on my 1911s, but this is a solid effort from Springfield. Hopefully they will eventually offer a non-railed version as that would really appeal to me, as would a significant price drop. I know this is a brand-new model, so the $1650 tag on it didn't surprise me, but considering the Silverback was $1665,  if I were to buy one today, it would be the Dan Wesson.

Actually, if I had bought something on Saturday, it would have been a JM-stamped Marlin 1895 Cowboy with the 26" octagon barrel and wood that has more figure than most Hollywood starlets these days. And I would have had enough money left over to grab the SR1911 10mm.

Saw CZ and thought for a moment they were going to do a non 1911 10mm

Yeah, me too. I was already checking the balance in my "gun" account thinking we were going to finally get a CZ-built 10mm.

You are welcome. There is also a noticeable difference in the weight (unloaded) with the 19X being lighter. I don't have one of the newer railed versions of the standard P229 (I have the early one shown and a P229 Carry) so there are likely to be some additional differences.

Requested photos. Sorry about the quality:
