P320 or 320RX

Josh Beauchamp · Jan 22, 2017

Local gun shop left me a voice-mail today saying they where finally allocated a 320 compact and asked if I still want it. Can't decide if I should jump on it or wait for the 320RX compact. Thoughts?

Slide-mounted optics fail within a known window averaging 4000 rounds. Some last longer, some don't. Buy two so you can rely on one. Or buy the iron-sighted gun.

Did not know that. Thanks Mitch. Think I am going to go with iron sights and probably get one of the RX slides they are supposed to be selling.

Yeah ain't gonna happen. 320 fits my hand like tailored fit glove, glock 19, while a damn fine weapon feels like I am holding a 2Ã—4. Just don't feel right.

replace "320" with "M&P" and I'm the same. except I actually have a Glock 19 now and I shoot it fine despite the fact that it feels like I'm shooting a gun made of Tetris blocks.

idk why people get so wrapped around the axle about hand feel. unless it injures you when you shoot it (like getting hammer bite from a Hi Power or slide bite from a PPK) I don't know why people care.

I don't pick up my hammer and think "Damn, I really wish this contoured to my hand better..." I just start hitting whatever needs to be hit.

When there is maybe $50 bucks different locally for me between the Glock and Sig. I will go with the one the fits me better. All about ergonomics. For me personally the Sig fits my hand better and points naturally. As for a hammer, when you are doing a s**t ton of hammering one the lol that has better ergonomics actually reduces arm fatigue and reduces the risk of repetitive strain injuries.
