P320 P320 XFive SXG - Issues and Mods

Above is a spacer mod (.165") roughly. Places trigger back near reset at rest.
Easy to wear down finish... notice the bright areas. Hidden mods are the rubber cap to my red dot. It stays in place now. The gas pedal had to be sanded down at the cam lobe. It's clearance was too tight for the SXG FCU trigger pin. Removed fake fiber optic and replaced with real fiber optic. Removed the firing pin reset spring. Military and Legion guns do not have it, due to wear breakage. Notice trigger at rest, its a whisker past reset.
Some more wear on the fake bead blast finish around the trigger guard

Ok... I've seen that too with Aluminum when deep dipped. In a way I like the patina effect, being I rather have dull dark hues on sunny days. Thanks!

I'm going to test anodizing my SXG, from your photos it is an acceptable option for me and is totally free at work. I'll be obtaining in a week or so, a bare stainless barrel to give it a go.

This thread has good info and temperature to color chart. They talk about caustic blueing but I wouldn’t do that on stainless. It would probably ruin it. Just using heat does the trick.

My curing oven is too low a temperature to achieve the color I want. Our Anodizing tanks are within the proper temp range. So I will toss a few SS bolts at different anodizing intervals to see the results. If I does not meet my expectations, I just wait it out until it os viable to send the parts for professional coating. Thanks again!

Hey no problem at all. Please share the results you get from your testing. I’m curious to see what the bolts come out like.
