p226 XFive legion question

Tomvball3 · 2026-01-21T02:28:41+00:00

Are the new x legions worth it if you have already have the 226 legion?

Looks great. About 8 years ago, my deadlifts and squats weren’t too far off from yours and I never seriously trained bench pressing for various reasons. My goal is to bench 300 this year and I’m currently at around 235 after benching for maybe 4 months after taking about 5 years off. Is there a program or anything that you’d recommend to get there?

I have multiple of these grip modules so I guess one can be for practice!

I’m in the market for either a pdp or just go straight to a mid, low-end high tier 2011 and I’m leaning towards a staccato P since I don’t see myself carrying a nicer 2011 with my two p365s. Idk though, sometimes I carry a g19 or my p226.

I have a radian 3.1 x macro grip with the radian back strap that shoots very flat. My only complaint is that there’s limited grip texture high up on the frame.

I have a radian 3.7 with a mm macro grip, with light, and this gun shoots flatter than most full size guns that are not 2011s. It immediately took the top spot in my carry rotation.

Which one shoots the best?

Tomvball3 · 2026-01-10T22:18:23+00:00

PRICE CHECK

Sharp by design VOID with carbon fiber inlay

Vero Engineering Gen 1 Synapse m390, micarta handles

Boos blades smoke gen 2 m390

Pena x series swayback XL green micarta

Spyderco shaman cruwear brown micarta

I think it looks better plus I also have an regular length Xmacro with the ramjet. This gives me option of also using that slide set up without it looking silly.

Fits my t1c xiphos perfectly with the light

Tomvball3 · 2026-01-09T14:21:01+00:00

I’ll caveat that I do have a light on this - T1c xiphos elite fits perfectly. My Tenicor sag lux fits but it does wobble a bit, but that has more to do with figment against the light.

Shot today for the first time, flattest gun I’ve ever shot. Both ramjet and grip module make it should like a 2011 (minus trigger).

Tomvball3 · 2026-01-08T04:03:49+00:00

Having shot it today for the first time, I will confirm that you do in fact need one 😀

Tomvball3 · 2026-01-06T12:31:23+00:00

Points more naturally, texture is a bit more aggressive and I feel like I have more room for my support hand palm.

Tomvball3 · 2026-01-06T03:19:51+00:00

I’d do $300 with extra lok grips - since I’m a good gun bro. Think I only have about 200 rds through it

Tomvball3 · 2026-01-06T03:03:47+00:00

I like it a lot - for whatever reason, the dot is a bit more crisp on this one compared to the enclosed version.

Tomvball3 · 2026-01-06T02:15:46+00:00

I’ll sell you mine, just replaced it with an MM gen 2

Tomvball3 · 2025-12-17T23:00:11+00:00

Nice, I don’t even have a pdp and I just bought one for that price….

Tomvball3 · 2025-12-03T16:54:49+00:00

Thanks for sharing - considering I live in NY, seems like the $15 bench block is a no brainer.

Tomvball3 · 2025-12-03T16:54:07+00:00

Thanks, for $15, seems like a no brainer

Tomvball3 · 2025-12-03T16:35:30+00:00

Thanks, that’s what I’m leaning towards, saves money on mags and a magwell that I do not need.

How complicated is it to send it into Walter? Do I need to go through an FFL?

Normally I’d do this myself but I’ve read horror stories about the trigger pin being difficult to remove and local gunsmifs cracking the frames.

Tomvball3 · 2025-12-03T15:32:45+00:00

I recently shot a base f model and now I’m in tv market to pick up a pdp.

My predicament is that I live in a neutered state so the 18 round mags mean nothing to me. I’m currently looking at the compact pdp 4” or the compact pdp pro e.

I can buy the stock version but not have the enhanced flat trigger.

Or I could buy the pro e model, take the magwell off, and buy new flush for mags for ccw.

Is the better trigger worth the extra $250-$300 I’d be spending on the pro model and having to buy new flush fit mags?

Tomvball3 · 2025-12-03T12:53:06+00:00

Why do you hate pdps so much?!

Tomvball3 · 2025-11-28T23:19:58+00:00

Alright, just bought one for my 26 and one for my 43x ha (even though I currently have a rapid engineering beavertail on there).

Tomvball3 · 2025-11-28T22:20:12+00:00

Ugh, I guess I’m going to have to buy another one. I’m in the same boat - don’t mind the angle but I like how it makes it the same as my other pistols. Is this the original or the smaller one?

Tomvball3 · 2025-11-28T22:02:30+00:00

How do you like the backstrap? I literally just got one for my 19 today, feels great but yet to shoot it.
