That’s kind of where I’m coming from on the 226 Legion. I’ve always liked SAO cocked and locked carry. Even my BUG Ruger LC9 has a manual thumb safety, which is probably why I like it so much.

Some additional information on the new pistol;
Another X-Carry to be built into a backup/redundant pistol to the original RS320 (henceforth original build being RS320A, new pistol being RS320B). It will be mechanically identical to the RS320A, with some subtle aesthetic changes. The pistol was ordered from Omaha Outdoors, which offers custom cerakoting on some of the pistols they sell. This one was done in Black Multicam before being sent to me (this was the reason for the delay in shipping). An OD Green Compact grip module has been added to match the BMC on the slide. Why Black Multicam and ODG? Cause a little Multicam and ODG never hurt anyone (well, not directly...) and cause I wanted to do something subtle but a little bit more custom for this build.
As you can see in the first picture, I already have a pile of parts ready to go on the pistol and more on the way, including a new 1,000 lumen X300U-B. The grip module will need to go out to Springer Precision to have their ESP magwell installed, and I'll need to drop the gun off with my gunsmith for fitting of the Bar-Sto barrel and installation of the Romeo1 shroud.
Another Apex trigger kit will be on the list as well as soon as I have the funds for it. Since this pistol will be functionally identical to the RS320A, I will probably not go through quite as complex a test for ammo selection, rather simply ensuring that the RS320B eats Winchester 124gr NATO and Hornady Critical Duty 124gr +P as well as the original (no reason to believe it would not, but always good to double check anyway).
As for the CW320, I'm still waiting for the modified mount components from Carver Custom, but should be hearing about that relatively soon. Of course I'll need the optic (a Holosun HS503C is the mounting plate I currently have on the mount, but Carver offers different plates for every popular MRDS on the market if I change my mind). Depending on what Carver is able to put together with the modified optic mount parts, there may or may not be provision for a WML, which in all likelihood would be another X300U. I'm leaning more towards branching out and trying some different components for the CW320, looking at a threaded barrel from Faxon and a different comp which would be bulkier but provide better compensation than the Springer "shorty" utilized on the RS320s. I do intend to send the CW320 slide off to Jagerwerks for serrations, front window cut, and cerakote (note the new FDE Compact grip module for a preview of where the aesthetics on that pistol are headed). It will also be sent to Springer for installation of their magwell, though I will probably go with the larger Open magwell on that build since concealment isn't a consideration as it is on the RS320. Rounding out that build will be an aftermarket trigger kit, either another Apex or perhaps the GrayGuns kit that includes a worked-over sear and different springs.
Of course, I'll also be on the lookout for any new and interesting aftermarket products that can provide tangible benefit to the platform. But as of right now, this is the roadmap for the in-progress builds.
2019 is going to be an expensive year...

I'm just here for the black multicam.

It's subtle the way I hoped it would be but that makes it difficult to see in my dimly lit room. I'll try to get some better lit pictures soon to show the pattern better. The color matches Sig's ODG grip module surprisingly well

Back from another session at the range. RS320B is in the hands of my 'smith for barrel fitting and installation of the optic shroud, and RS320A has just ticked over the 4,000 round count with still no malfunctions to report.
On a cleaning/maintenance note - This Otis Ripcord has been incredible for bore cleaning considering the permanently attached comp. Just tilt the barrel out of the slide, spray a bit of solvent down the bore, wait a couple minutes, two passes with the Ripcord and good to go. Combined with spotscrubbing where necessary, it makes maintenance of the pistol extremely fast and easy

Great-looking build I've been working on my Sig P320 RX compact for a while different grip modules threaded barrels compensators slowly but surely trying to make it my own. Like your light with your compensator all they are about the same length or just want to hang over a little further than the other

Orbital interest;

Sig will be introducing a pair of "Pro Series" pistols for LE order in January. These will be available as Fullsize and Carry configurations, optics-ready (with a new plate design that retains the rear iron sight when the plate is removed), X-Series grip modules and flat triggers, with no lightening cuts in the slide;
I'd be surprised if we don't see the revised optics plate design make it on to the standard X-Carry and X-Five competition pistols as well

They finally have a release date? They're been on Quantico's site for over a year. I heard the full size loses the magwell, bull barrel and the 21 rd mags, which sucks, but I can understand why some are hesitant to carry a duty gun with slide cut outs. I've personally had zero issues with my X5 on duty or X-carry concealed, both have the slide cuts.
Quick question about the rip cord, is it similar to a bore snake or big improvement? I've gotten lazy with maintenance on the 320, I typically spray the frame/FCU with cleaner and blow it off with air compressor and clean the barrel with bore snake.

To my understanding the Ripcord works on similar principle to the Bore Snake. I've never actually used a Bore Snake specifically, so I shouldn't make any claims as to how the Ripcord compares, but the Ripcord does do a great job itself.
How do you like the X-Five as a duty pistol? Have you kept yours relatively stock or made any modifications?

This type of setup, keeping BUIS, and maybe being RMR compatible would get me into a Sig for the first time in years as a competition rig. It would also put me CCWing one as well.

If you're looking for a P320 with irons and RMR, your best bet would probably still be getting a base-model P320 and sending the slide off to ATEI or one of the other quality milling companies. I can nearly gaurantee even if they're changing up the cover plate configuration on the X-Series guns they'll still be specific to the Romeo1 optic

The X-Five was specifically designed for competition use, yes. It also makes a rather good duty/defensive pistol as well

The AR320 greatly interests me. I'll never buy one, but I do find it very interesting. The real question is this: If you chambered it in 9mm, would that be acceptable or an abomination?

The interesting thing about the FCU-based AR conversion to me is that they've engineered a way to convert a pistol caliber fire control group to function in a 5.56 caliber rifle platform. If you were interested in a 9mm PCC the same company makes a different conversion chassis that accepts P320 magazines as well.
The part that interests me most about what this company is doing is the broad range of solutions they can create based on one modular starting point
