Thank you. That is most helpful.

I wonder if the new custom works FCU is like that also.

I just got a new x-5 x-change kit and I'm trying to figure out what size screw to use on the smaller outer most holes for RMR/holosun. Any ideas? its not 6-40

EDIT!! The 6-40 did work. There was just some tension after starting the threads so I didn’t want to damage them so I stopped and figured it was the wrong screw

So the X5 X-change kit has the slide to which you can direct mount RMR/Holosun? That would be nice.

Excellent write up. I didn't realize that the Legion FCU had changes making a sear swap more difficult.

Is that something that is easy to explain? I've taken my FCU down to the individual components often enough to be familiar with the process.

Most significant is the TXG Tungsten infused grip module. I shoot USPSA Carry Optics and I bought the X5 Legion because of the heavier grip. The perceived recoil is less in my opinion and for me me it shoots flatter and I'm able to get the dot back on target faster. Everything else between the two is similar except the trigger on the Legion might be a little better. The first X5s came with four (4) 21 round mags which is what I prefer instead of the X5 Legion's three (3) 17 round mags. The heavier TXG grip module is available now as an accessory so if someone already has an X5 and they are happy with it, I say just buy the TXG grip module and see how you like it.

I agree. Most will have already upgraded the trigger so the only significant remaining difference is the TXG grip module.
I was originally looking to get the Legion when it came out but as time went by and reading reviews, etc., I just got the TXG for my original X5.
I no longer have any desire to get an X5 Legion until one of my X5's poops out.
And the only reason I'd do it then is because the original is no longer available.
