P320: my new favourite

BIG caveat there is it's me shooting ....both pistols are no doubt capable of more

Lol well you still shot a ridiculously tight group. Well done. Mine looks like someone took 1/4 of the pie from a pie plate.

Thanks, just wish I could transfer more of that type of result to IDPA LOL. All jokes aside though, I do have to concentrate much harder to get those results with the P320, the X5 just makes it easy. A better comparison may be the one below at 15M

hey Bill, think the difference might be due to the weight difference between the two pistols? P226 being full metal while the P320 having the poly frame could make for more felt recoil and accuracy with your follow up shots?

I personally find the extra heft of a full metal pistol to be a big help in getting my best groups when just plinking holes in paper at the indoor range - just the extra recoil/muzzle control helps my focus a lot. I'm less than a year now into the shooting sports hobby and still on a steep learning curve for sure, but that extra weight, plus the awesome SAO trigger in the X5 just makes it that much easier for me to hit what I'm aiming at LOL.
