Retrofitted a Sig-Loc optic onto a 2019 P320 X-Compact slide

I retrofitted a Sig-Loc optic to a 2019 P320 X-Compact slide.

Keys to success (lol):

  1. Ignore anything and everything Sig has to say about optic cuts and compatibility. They quietly have a billion different cuts as they tweak stuff in the background with zero official notice. My factory cut isn’t even on the website. Most egregiously, the banner for the compatibility guide has a picture of a cut that doesn’t exist in the guide.
  2. Be precise on the measurements. The Sig-Loc sits tight between the front and rear of the cut. Almost no play. So little play I doubt you even need the two bosses. Tighter than any slip-on boss setup, if that makes sense. Pic of how tight a fit it was is in the post. No idea if that’s normal or just because the older slide cuts are a hair shorter. Who knows. Either way, this thing isn’t going anywhere. Plenty of surface fighting the shear, the optic body in the pocket and the two bosses. Digital caliper + drill press. My cut already had everything except the recesses for the bosses. Didn’t have another Sig-Loc P320 to measure off of, so I measured the bosses on the optic and transferred them. Found a helpful top-down pic that let me back into the X/Y and diameters.
  3. Use a flat-bottom / Forstner-style bit in the drill press for the boss recesses. Link in the comments so this doesn’t get eaten.

Why did I do this? Like guns. Bored. I really like the optic and didn’t want the DPP version. The longer body looks better, and I got a fire deal on a brand new one that was ordered in error and never installed. Guess they didn’t have Sig-Loc after all.

Is Koons ever going to be released?

Yet another week with no Koons! 🤦🏾‍♂️Less than 24 hours after Wolford, the Third Circuit requested supplemental briefing on its impact and gave the attorneys less than two weeks to respond. Now here we are, more than two months after Wolford, and nada.

Clearly, Wolford disrupted whatever the hell the Third Circuit was preparing to release, hopefully in a positive way. That’s my most optimistic read of the situation. The most pessimistic is that the dissenters are purposely dragging their feet.

What do you all think is happening?

Anyone’s LCI stop working?

With a round chambered, the loaded chamber indicator doesn’t stick out like it used to (I know, that’s what she said). Has this happened to anyone else? It extracts just fine, and I never used the LCI to begin with, but I’m curious if this is common.

Another broken striker!

I’m so mad with Walther right now. This striker doesn’t have that many rounds on it, maybe a few thousand, and the striker sheared completely off.

I emailed Walther asking for a replacement and they basically said, nope, normal wear and tear. Fine, I’ll buy one.

So I bought one directly from Walther and paid $10 to have it shipped to NJ. They only give you one shipping option. Here we are 9 days later and I still don’t even have the shipping confirmation email they normally send when you buy stuff from them.

I’ve called twice.

First time I called asking when it would ship, they told me it already shipped FedEx Home, but somehow there wasn’t a tracking number. WTF? Doesn’t worry me too much at first because the rep said it would be here by Friday. Friday comes and goes. Nothing. Now I have to use a backup gun for a class.

I call again. This time I’m told it actually shipped First Class Mail, and that’s why there’s no tracking number.
What? How did it magically change from FedEx Home to First Class Mail? And why on earth would you ship a part with no tracking whatsoever? Who does that?
At that point I said fuck it, I’ll buy one somewhere else from a seller that has enough sense to use a carrier with tracking.

Come to find out nobody sells these things. You can basically only get them from Walther. I’ve tried my local gunsmiths too. No dice. Gotta order it from Walther.
I emailed them this weekend asking them to either find some way to confirm that the striker was actually shipped or just send me another one with tracking.
No response yet.

So now I have zero idea if they actually sent it, zero confidence that it was sent, and no way to buy another one somewhere else. Meanwhile my main gun is completely out of service and I’m stuck using a backup gun for several group training classes I already committed to.

Anyone know where the hell I can get a PDP striker, or some way to get Walther to actually send me one in a verifiable way?

With the latest 3rd Circuit precedent, aren’t we entitled to an immediate preliminary injunction on AR15 pistols?

Once the Cheeseman mandate issues and jurisdiction returns to the district court, shouldn’t the plaintiffs immediately move for a preliminary injunction covering AR-15 pistols?

From my reading of Cheeseman, the dispositive Second Amendment inquiry is whether the arms are in common use for lawful purposes. If that’s the governing framework, AR-15 pistols seem like the obvious next step.

They’re essentially the same firearm platform the Third Circuit just held is protected. Same operating system. Same magazines. Same controls. Same receivers and internal components in many cases. The primary difference is barrel length and overall length.

It would seem to be a trivial task for the plaintiffs to present evidence that AR-pattern pistols are owned in the millions by law-abiding Americans. If that showing is made, why shouldn’t the district court preserve constitutional rights with a preliminary injunction while the case proceeds?

Looking at the Rule 65 factors, they all seem to favor immediate relief.

* Likelihood of success: Cheeseman appears to make “in common use for lawful purposes” the dispositive inquiry. If AR-15 rifles satisfy that standard, why wouldn’t AR-15 pistols?
* Irreparable harm: Every day citizens are prevented from exercising a constitutional right is another day of irreparable harm.
* Balance of the equities: The State has already had years to defend these restrictions. Cheeseman appears to have substantially narrowed the legal issues.
* Public interest: There is already significant confusion surrounding AR-15 pistols. A preliminary injunction would provide clarity to owners, dealers, law enforcement, and prosecutors while the litigation continues.

More importantly, what arguments does the State realistically have left?

The State is certainly free to argue that AR-15 pistols are constitutionally distinguishable from AR-15 rifles. But after Cheeseman, what is that distinction? They are the same firearm platform in virtually every meaningful respect. If the State believes barrel length or overall length is constitutionally significant, it should have to prove why.
To me, this seems like the exact situation preliminary injunctions exist for. The plaintiffs make a straightforward factual showing that AR-pattern pistols are owned in the millions by law-abiding Americans. The burden then shifts to the State to explain why a shorter version of the same firearm platform should be treated differently under the Second Amendment.

Assuming the mandate returns jurisdiction to the district court without a stay, I’d expect a motion for a preliminary injunction to be one of the very first filings.
Am I missing something procedurally, or is there a strategic reason to wait?

Did the SCOTUS grant cost us another year?

Did the SCOTUS grant in Viramontes (and Grant v Higgins) just cost us another year on Cheeseman/ANJRPC in the 3rd Circuit?

They’ve had the en banc arguments since October 2025. The district court already ruled the NJ assault firearm ban unconstitutional for home defense on the rifle side. But we’re heading into July 2026 with no decision and the ban still in full effect under the stay.

Think the 3rd Circuit is going to hold now and await SCOTUS’s ruling since the issues are tightly related meaning we will have to wait until June 2027?

Wood Stack Pizza in Parsippany virtue signaling

They serve alcohol, so carry is already prohibited under a PTC. Is this just anti-gun virtue signaling, or is the sign aimed at police officers and others who carry without a PTC?

[Not an Update] Cheeseman/Siegel: Let’s Actually Celebrate When They Drop

These decisions will represent a historic turning point for the Second Amendment in New Jersey and beyond. I feel like we missed a real opportunity by not having a celebratory dinner or event right when Bruen officially dropped. We should not make the same mistake when Cheeseman and/or Siegel come down. We should mark the occasion in a big way with something memorable.

As far as I am concerned, they will be the modern day equivalent of the end of Prohibition for the Second Amendment. After years of fighting through the courts against Platkin’s restrictions, sensitive places rules, mag limits, and the long standing AWB, a strong win (or wins) would finally start rolling back some of the worst of NJ’s gun control laws.

Who else is thinking we need to do this right? What kind of event would you want to see if we mark it? What ideas do you have for how the community could come together in the NJ area whenever the decisions drop?

Thoughts?

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/doj-sues-denver-over-ban-assault-weapons

DOJ filed on Denver’s assault weapons ban today. Common use argument, straight out of Heller/Caetano.

Meanwhile Cheeseman’s been sitting at the Third Circuit since en banc argument in October. Almost seven months.

So which way does this cut? Does the Third Circuit feel pressure to actually rule, or does it give them cover to keep stalling and let SCOTUS sort it out through the Tenth?

My money’s on stalling longer. The case just got bigger.

Thoughts?
