    the 5" slides are actually the same weight, it's just more towards the back of the slide vs the front.
    I checked the P320 Max, and the P320 X5 slide without the barrel and spring, deducted the red dots' weight, and they were within 1-2 grams of each other.

    Question, while you look through the sight, finger off the trigger, does the slide move the dot when you place you finger on the trigger and begin to pull the trigger? so as the trigger engages the striker does it move the slide "up"? mine does and I don't know if it's "ok" of not. I don't like it as it's a 3-4 inch change in the POI. I have a really early version of the X5 Legion so it might be something they fixed as they built more of them.

    IMHO the only people who should be "carrying" (CC or OC) should be LEO or military. For people who require a sidearm for their job. Security guards at a jewellery store or bank.
    Case in point. Civilians who have a CCW and make RUclips videos revealing what guns they own or carry...and what they look land sound like when they talk. Kind of defeats the purpose of CC. Never mind that it's rarely going to be "one on one" and with warning. Situation ideal.
    Maybe the bad people won't don't have internet access and/or don't watch RUclips videos. :)

      You may be right but in a country with more guns than people, good luck
