Competition shooters picked the P320 X-Series for a reason, and this model number, 320X510BXR3R210, tells you exactly what you are getting: the X-Series 5 pistol, optic ready, with a 10-round magazine. It fits well for range work, steel matches and anyone who wants a larger sight radius than a carry gun gives.

The longer slide of the X-Series 5 settles the sights in a smooth line and tames muzzle flip during quick strings. Optic ready means a red dot can be mounted on the slide, which many shooters now prefer for faster target acquisition. You can run it with irons first and add the dot once you have practiced.

The P320 platform is modular, and the same fire control unit sits in many frame sizes, which is why holsters and aftermarket parts are easy to find. Spare parts and accessories are easy to find, so you can tune it to your own needs over time.

This pistol is new. It ships to a North Carolina FFL dealer of your choice, where you complete the background check and take it home. Ask the dealer to check the magazine count before you sign.
