P320 RXP XFULL SIZE
P320 RXP XFULL SIZE.
Over the last couple of months, I’ve carried the SIG P320 RXP XCompact and wondered if the changes were worth swapping out my standard XCompact for the new model.
Just like the original XCompact, the new RXP has a 3.6″ barrel and weighs 25.6 ounces unloaded. The New RXP comes with the X-Series flat trigger just like the previous models which is a nice change from the standard P320 trigger.
Probably the biggest change between the older XCompacts compared to the new RXP is the undated optics cut and rear sight assembly.
The SIG Romeo 01 PRO that comes attached is a 6MOA red dot that has a large field of view that’s extremely easy to pick up.
The older XCompact had a slide cut for an optic as well, but the overall set up was a bit different.
The previous generation had the rear sight built into the optics plate which worked but the mounting screws locked into the plate next to the rear sights.
Having the mounting plate next to the sight made the optics plate secure but added to the overall thickness of the rear sight.
Thankfully, the new model has separated the rear sight and optics cut so it eliminates the problem of losing a rear sight and the issue of overall thickness.
The new RXP XCompact has suppressor high XRAY3 night sights with smaller blacked rears with tritium inserts and a large front dot.
Range Time
Now I will be honest and say, I have always had a hard time transitioning over to an optic on a handgun.
I have no doubt there are benefits for longer distances and shooting more accurately with a dot but I haunt spent the time training with an optic on my pistol.
Over the years, I have had a couple of Glocks with Trijicon RMRs but never really enjoyed shooting them like I have with iron sights.
While taking the SIG Sauer RXP XCompact out, I found it to be a great gun to learn the basics skills of shooting a handgun with a red dot.
The wider field of view and 6MOA red dot makes it very easy to pick up without having to do the weird shuffle while you search for the red dot.
The suppressor height sights naturally bring your eye up on target to meet the red dot as well.
TRIGGER AND ACCURACY
During my time with the RXP XCompact, I shot roughly 1,200 rounds through the gun and it ran 100% even when putting steel cased Wolf 9mm and Blazer aluminium cased 115gr ammo.
For the majority of my testing, I used a mixture of SIG Sauer 115gr ball ammo and Blazer Brass 115gr and both ran flawlessly through the gun.
The flat X-Series trigger that comes standard with the gun is a nice upgrade from the standard curve trigger.
The trigger had a short take up with a crisp wall before breaking around 5.5 lbs followed by a quick positive reset.

Modularity
One of the biggest benefits of having a P320 is the ability to change frames, slides and make a custom gun to your exact needs.
I shot the RXP XCompact entirely stock for testing but once I finished up, I decided to use the slide for my PMM Compensated P320 Range handgun.
Having a dual-port compensator along with a red dot and suppressor height sights is a definite plus.
With Parker Mountain Machine and Agency Arms both coming out with barrel/compensator combos for sale, it’s a great way to have a high-end range gun without spending a few thousand dollars like you would with many other high-end handguns.
It’s an added benefit if you’re on the fence about having a compact handgun if you’re looking to have a range option as well.
Featuring SIG SAUER’s exclusive slide‐mounted optic, the ROMEO1 PRO, the RXP will ensure faster sight acquisition on target.
Simply put, it will make a good shooter a great shooter. Shoot confidently with faster target acquisition and improved accuracy. Installed. Zeroed. And backed by the quality of the SIG name.
The P320 XFULL joins the Red Dot Revolution with an installed optic that will make all the tough shots easy.
Along with all of the features of the original XSeries full size offering, the P320 XFULL RXP features a 6MOA Romeo1 PRO installed on the pistol that is perfectly mated to front and rear XRay3 day/night suppressor‐height sights.
This allows for faster sight acquisition and easy co‐witnessing. Additionally, an optic plate cover is included with all Romeo1 PRO‐equipped XSeries P320 pistols for shooting without the optic if desired.

Great but not sure why they left the Magwell on as this pistol cannot be used in Limited since it has no irons and CO cannot have a Magwell. They should have flared the lower a little in the polymer.
Other than that idiotic move, it’s a great pistol.

I bought this gun and a few hundred rounds for it. I have fired almost 800 rounds and have yet to produce any issue with it’s functionality. It is my day to day carry. I plan on getting a couple more.

A full size but easy to carry in winter. The Romeo1 pro is excellent. Wish it came with 3 mags. Similar to an X5 with a Xcarry grip with no lightening cuts.

I love it since the day it came out. I recently picked this up at my LGS, it looks even better in real life. It feels amazing in hand, the texture grips, the weight just feels really nice. Is just an absolute beautiful pistol overall. It is expensive for a reason, i guess is Custom Works.
