    And the firearms world has almost gone full circle.


    In the past manufactures move into pistols with polymer frames for weight savings.


    Currently manufacturers now adding metal to polymer to add weight.


    Future development, manufacturers will produce metal framed striker fire pistols.


    Could of saved a lot of time and money and just built metal striker guns from the get go.

    I hope so. I have signed up for one.

    The future is actually last January (and probably a major driver for this):

    Not sure if you can do much with an X5. The slide and barrel length are unique

    Wasn’t the Hudson a metal framed striker ?

    Arguably the best shooter in the world today, told me he found the steel frame Walther to be a poor design for a red dot. He would rather shoot the polymer Q5 as the Walther execution of a steel frame set up a harmonic that made the dot unpredictable. Shows you can’t just slap on a steel frame to a polymer design and expect it to work optimally.

    I pick up my 320 Legion in a few hours and can’t wait to get it to the range. I am hoping that the combination of a Tungsten infused polymer frame maintains the recoil absorption properties of a polymer frame while adding the weight of a metal pistol. At 40+ ounces, the 320 Legion is a specialized competition choice that wouldn’t seem to offer much appeal for carry.
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    Looking forward to your thoughts on the pistol I had a chance to handle it this past weekend (not shoot, of course) and was impressed by the balance of the pistol in the hand, as well as by the texturing and the trigger - if memory serves no stacking on the pretravel, a defined wall, a distinct roll, and a break. Very impressive - and all for $900. I was waiting for the 92X but the X5 legion really caught my attention.......

    And i have to know - what shooter divulged his observations on the Q5 SF?

    Just occurred to me some of the hottest new releases of recent years feature the letter X: 19X, 92X, X5

    Yes it was, and a very innovative design overall. R&D and manufacturing was too costly, essentially killing it before it ever really took off.


    It's just interesting to see manufactures trying to build heavy polymer framed striker guns. For ever and a day, loosing weight was all the rage, aluminum frames, then polymer, etc. Now everyone wants to add weight back in to help tame recoil and get better balance. May have reached the point of diminishing returns.

    It is still easier to produce injection molded parts even adding metal, than it is machining them. Sig really took a giant leap forward with the Legion frames. It opens up a whole new world of adding different materials to polymers.

    If they can add Tungsten to polymer, so can anybody else. I've been on the edge of purchasing a Gen 5 34FS. Think I'll give it a few months and see what happens...

    I just wonder how long before they take the practice and try to “re-invent” their classic line with such frames. Though perhaps some manner of new SP2022 with such a frame could prove nifty.
