Sig 320 RX Torture Test

[Clusterfrack]

Durability of the optic is the most interesting to me.

I bought this issue, because of EL's PX4c (or, more accurately, my girlfriend heard me talking about EL's PX4c, remembered, and grabbed this issue when she saw it). The 320RX write-up was good, they actually did start the test. The gun ran well but the red dot broke.

Edit: cluster beat me to it

Any more info on the particulars of the dot failure? With three DP Pro optics back to Leupold in the last six weeks, and multiple dots back to Trijicon for dot blinking outbreasons, I don't consider any currently available to be durable.

As long as the RDS is mounted on a reciprocating slide, I don't see them lasting very long before they break.

Am I gonna get banned if I post some screens from the G&A article? Should I type out quotes instead?

Sorry, I was on my phone and I'm VERY lazy. Sure.

Test gun was the P320RX with Romeo1 Optic and suppressor-height night sights.
Ammo was 10,000 Rounds Sig Sauer 124-grain V-Crown JHP

Week 1: 1,043 rounds, 1 malfunction, 0 breakages. Malfunction was a failure to eject at round 143, spent case wedge parallel to ejection port, case rim wedged against rear of ejection port, front of the case on the barrel hood. Stoppage cleared with tap-rack and test continued.

Week 2: 1,226 rounds, 2,269 test total, no more malfunctions or breakages

Week 3: 1,223 rounds, 3,492 test total, no more malfunctions or breakages

Week 4: 754 rounds, 4,246 test total, no more malfunctions or breakages (of the gun itself)

MID-WEEK 4: Tester performed one-handed reload and racked slide off wooden table top using front of ROMEO1 optic, claims to have done so many times during the test. Aspherical lens broken. Circular crack appeared in the upper right inside corner of lens, upper left outside corner of lens. (article has two pics, sight is still intact and seems usable, but definite cracks and a large gouge).

Test paused awaiting replacement gun.

Test paused awaiting replacement gun.

Usually that means test starts over. They can't run a test and halfway through switch guns then claim the test has any validity as a 10K test.

"As it stands now, I am waiting on a replacement sight from SIG Sauer, which will zero out the round count on the sight. The round count on the new optic will be noted in a column at the top of each entry, separate from the actual number of rounds fired through the pistol."

I'm mostly ok with you posting the pictures.

Alright, I'll post in pretty limited scope. If it causes heartburn for ya feel free to scorch the earth.
