Anyone know a good source for P320 parts? (Slides, springs, etc.) I've had a backordered grip from RSDC for 2 months now and I'd like to get a few other things but noone seems to have stock and backordering really seems like a serious waiting game.

I've been checking AF constantly but noone listed with them seems to have the components.

I think Irungun offer a service where they will import a handgun for you and strip out everything except the serialized part.

You still have to pay for whole price though.

Yeah, I was considering that for the longest time. Our dollar is so bad right now so I didn't bother, but now I'm wishing I just pulled the trigger on it.

It would made more sense to do that in the beginning since I am sure buy them separately will cost more in the long run.

I grabbed a P320 full size before the freeze, but plan on doing a custom build with an AXG grip and compact slide that's optics ready. Bringing in a compact AXG P320 from Irun would have run me $300 more than grabbing the parts separate, and then I'd still need to get a threaded 'compact' barrel.

But yeah, I wish I was just able to grab a AXG model from the beginning.

Ah, ok, I thought you want to have same spare parts for the same pistol you own.

If that's the case then buy seperate parts makes more sense.
