Questions for Sig Armorer Course

[lwt16]

As with the classics, the IOP line guns are slightly different. Parts wise, they are identical unless the gun has a recoil spring guide (IOP get metal ones). The IOP guns do get more QC checks than the commercial guns.

Hmmm. Sort of surprised they admitted that.

They giving out any goodies these days to armorers?

I asked about offering the X series grip modules for the 45 ACP FCU and was told it would happen eventually but nobody knows when.

Thanks for asking about this. I figured SIG had given up on the 45 Auto 320.

I think most everybody has. Of course, if the election goes badly and we're back with 10 round magazines and no grandfathering of older high cap mags, the 45 may come roaring back.

I pray they don't because I'm about to buy my third P320 in 9mm. If they release the X grip for the 45 FCU I'll have to buy more guns. I still think the bigger bullet can matter and 10+1 strikes me as plenty of bullets.

Thanks. So 3 instances of this at work ( 3 different dudes) and one local IDPA shooter who has done it twice with two different guns. The guys doing it at work are all Gorillas but the IDPA guy is just a normal-ish dude.

It's been beaten to death in other threads, but the difference with the other vulnerable designs (any non-tapered magazine design of which the venerable 1911 is certainly one of them) is that either the user or a simple armorer can change the part easily in under an hour.

The P320 may be the first design I'm aware of where the serialized frame is trash if the ejector is broken or bent. Having broken myself and replaced ejectors broken by others in the 1911 platform this seems problematic.
