Watch video of X Five Legion rattling

Seems totally normal to me. All guns have some sort of play in them or they wouldn't run reliably. Given that the P320 is a modular gun and it's made to work with various grips, slides, barrels, etc....it's probably got fairly wide tolerances.

Are you pleased with the accuracy?

I’m still pretty new but to answer your question - I’m sort of pleased…

I don’t have enough experience to call that. I’m basically still working on the fundamentals so variables like trigger pull, grip and stance may all contribute to the inconsistent grouping I’m experiencing.

I would’ve thought that once it goes into battery, the slide might tighten way up. There’s no difference however.

So...what's rattling? Frame/slide? Barrel/slide? Fire control? Loose screws?

Lol. The slide, lateral play at the end of the barrel.You know, where the bullet comes out..

My daughter has an X5 non Legion. I’ll ask her if hers rattles. I’ve shot hers and recently installed a Trijicon RM07 on it and don’t think it made that noise.

Too bad there's not a term for the end of the barrel where the bullet comes out.

So, the slide moves and the barrel is rigid?

That’s normal.

So is the barrel and slide not locking up tight? There will and has to be some play otherwise it just wont work.
Take the slide off and see how loose the barrel to slide fit is.

The barrel moves with slide at the muzzle and also at the rear where the slide groove contacts the rails. About a half a millimeter - best guess anyway. Just enough to cause the rattling.

Also known as the "business end"

I tried emulating and got a little bit of play but only when I do it violently. Not a spray-paint can like that. If it's shooting fine then it's just that. Does it rattle when you have it on a holster and you move around?

No, not in the holster. Only when I shake it like in the video.

Shoot it and shoot it allot

Ok, but I like to shake it a little first...🙃

Mine is very accurate compared to many others and does the same exact noise, the 4 hooks on which the slide is riding have a little play. Barrel and slide are tight. It's all good. Test it against your best other guns and you'll see.

It’ll never do that during normal use or carry.
load up, holster up and carry on.

Not true, I own many different striker firing guns and most of them doesn't. New Walther PDP don't, old PPQ does this. HK VP9 and P30L (non striker but anyway) don't both, so? Neither of mine Glocks are rattle as well. I believe service pistols should not do this.

I had Colt Government 1911 did that
Rattled like hell but shot great , never had problems with it ..
