Slide Design & Physics
Grayguns will be releasing two P320 designs, and one design for the P365 and P365XL.
These will be available in both completed slides (slide, barrel, guide rod and internals) as well as full pistol builds.
The Lockwood
Personally commissioned and designed by USPSA Grand Master Isaac Lockwood, this P320 slide is specifically designed for Carry Optics has the following features.
- 4.7 inch full size slide with optimal mass balance and aggressive texture
- A custom 5 inch P320 X-Five Bull Barrel cut down and hand-fitted for the 4.7 inch slide length.
By balancing this particular combination of slide and barrel mass, we are able to provide a fast, but very soft and flat shooter. For many who have tried this combination, the red dot tracks more consistently in the window.
The Modern Classic
Bruce Gray and his team wanted to embark into the custom slide market. However, Bruce being a classic gunsmith, didn’t want his slide to resemble or feel like a wood rasp out of a wood shop. They went through many iterations but settled on something classic for this modern sporting pistol.
This slide features a pure, classic look that complements the modern design of the P320. Our goal was to focus on the weight and the balance first, and introduce a classic 1911 spin with utility-driven serrations in strategic areas.
It will be available in all popular lengths including 5 inch, 4.7 inch, 3.9 inch and 3.6 inch.
The P365 Custom Slides
Available in both 3.7 inch and 3.1 inch slide lengths, the custom P365 and P365XL slides will have custom aesthetics designed by the team at Grayguns.
They will be consistent with the modern classic approach with the same detail that went into the P320 slides.
