Chuck everything but the FCU?
Chuck everything but the FCU?
"When the phone rang, Parker was in the garage, killing a man."
Perhaps swap parts with his comp gun to try to isolate the issue? I suppose the slide catch pivot pin (the barrel cams off this) could be worn enough to cause inconsistent lock up, but more likely than not the issue is in the slide.
Anything I post is my opinion alone as a private citizen.
Wasn't one of the initial concerns about the 320 design a potential decrease in accuracy over time? I am no engineer, so I wouldn't know know what to look for to anticipate that, but I recall reading it when the 320 first launched and thinking that I probably wouldn't approach the round counts where it would be a problem.

I was an “early adopter” of the X-Five P320, my first one has the silver barrel, and I never heard anyone predict issues. It has a tight lock-up (“pre-tensioned”) and still shoots ragged holes benched at 25 meters.
I wail say, though, that there is great variability in the P320 FCU’s from one unit to another in terms of trigger action. Both my X-fives have GG kits in them and are still spongy compared to, say, my out of the box HK VP9’s, all five of which are within 3 ounces in trigger pull and super-crisp by comparison.
The long slide VP9 Optics Ready blows the X-Five out of the water for trigger and a few other factors, but the X-Five does have better magwell solutions out of the box and is a more “competition ready” platform in general.
The 320 Legion is far and away, the most used pistol in USPSA Carry Optics. I see more Legions than everything else combined.

My friend believes the issue is barrel to slide lockup.
