Zaffiri Precision P320 Compact Slide and Barrel

Zaffiri Precision is well known for making aftermarket slides. Starting out with Glock parts and slides, they have moved into doing Sig accessories as well. This includes their Sig P320 Compact slide and barrels.

As mentioned, the Zaffiri slide I received was for the Sig P320 compact. This slide would also be great for anyone building a P320 compact off of the Sig P320 FCU. Zaffiri also sent along one of their threaded and non-threaded barrels, more later on the barrels. I was looking for a compact slide so that I could run it on the Strike Industries modular 320 chassis with some accessories that needed a compact slide. I also installed it on a standard P320 compact grip module to see how it performed as a standalone slide.

The Zaffiri ZPS.2 P320c slide is very nice. You’ll notice that the slide is lightened with, what I like to call, the Zaffiri slide cuts. These slide cuts consist of some small rectangle windows on the side and some angled smaller cuts on the top. It makes for a nice look. Then, as per any slide, there are some rear cocking serrations. A big feature about these slides is that they are cut for an RMR footprint. The slide has bosses to rest the optic on, as opposed to just screw holes. Zaffiri also supplies screws that they say to use for optic mounting. A cover plate comes installed on the slide, in case you don’t want to mount an optic.

Zaffiri Precision has 4 standard color options for the ZPS.2 P320c slides. They are: FDE, OD green, Sniper grey, and Armor black, which is the one that was sent to me. In the custom line of P320 slides you have a vast selection of colors and patterns. Camo colors only add around an extra $90, total, over the standard 4 colors. The Armor Black is beautiful, probably a testament to the applicators. It’s smooth and didn’t even chip or wear off when installing the iron sights. The top notch machining used to produce these slides, also aids in the fact that the coatings look so good.

Now let us discuss the Zaffiri Precision P320 compact 9mm barrels. Zaffiri actually sent me both a threaded and non-threaded (Flush and Crowned) barrel. The flush fit was needed for the Strike Modular Chassis, and the threaded is for future add-ons. Both came in a black nitride coating. SS, TiN, and Spectrum are also available. All the Zaffiri barrels have a swirl pattern on the outside. The threaded barrel comes with a thread protector and is threaded ½-28. Both barrels have conventional rifling and a polished chamber and bore. One can definitely tell that the bore and rifling is polished when looking through the barrels. From shooting both of these, they appear to be very accurate. Or at least better than my shooting ability.

This Zaffiri slide and both barrels performed flawlessly. Both in the Strike Chassis and in a standard grip module. The P320 slide has way more time in the Strike chassis with the standard flush fit barrel. But this doesn’t take away that it works nicely in a grip module. In the Strike chassis, I used it without a slide mounted red dot. When in the 320 grip frame, I mounted up a Swampfox Liberty green dot. The slide functioned great with or without the optic. Lock up with the barrel is super tight. Slide to frame fit is not sloppy. Essentially, in both applications, the performance was good. Plus, the slide and barrel look good, which we all know that looking good is key.

If you are in the market for some aftermarket Sig P320 stuff, Zaffiri Precision has what you need. The ZPS.2 P320c slide and barrels are really well machined and just beautiful to look at. But that’s not all, they perform well too. So if you are building out a P320 compact, or just upgrading the one you have, I would recommend that you check out the stuff from Zaffiri Precision.

Tyrant Designs SIG P320 Trigger

Review, Tyrant Designs, Trigger, Sig Sauer

Tyrant Designs sent me out one of their SIG P320 triggers. This trigger is nothing like Tyrant’s other trigger designs. It is a flat faced design with a finger hook at the bottom. The P320 trigger has a colored insert in the trigger itself. This insert also has the typical Tyrant design on the rear of the trigger.

The Tyrant Designs P320 trigger comes in a few options. Or should I say color options. The trigger itself can be had in Black or Gold anodizing. Then there is the option for the trigger insert. The insert comes in 5 different color options: Black, Gold, Blue, Red, or Grey. A neat thing about the insert is that it puts a line of color down the center of the trigger face, if you choose a different color then the trigger itself. I chose a Black trigger with a Grey insert. It adds just a touch of color to the look. This insert also covers most of the back side of the trigger. On the back side, it has Tyrant’s typical arrow shaped cuts. It looks really good.

As mentioned, the P320 trigger is a flat faced design. So the main part of the trigger’s face is flat. Then Tyrant puts a hook at the bottom of the trigger. I really like the trigger design. The flat face gives an even pull and the hook keeps my finger from moving downward. I noticed that the trigger breaks about perpendicular to the frame. This gives a nice even, repeatable break. One of my favorite things about this trigger is the texture. It’s not really a texture, but you can definitely feel that the face is not smooth. I relate it to how a bead blasted texture feels. It gives grip, without adding a machined in texture.

Tyrant designed the P320 trigger to have a reduction in overall travel. In fact, it’s a 10% reduction in overall pull length. Yes, you can feel that it is slightly shorter than the stock trigger pull. However, it still has a lot of over-travel. I wish they would have installed an over-travel stop, but they didn’t. Pre-travel may be a little shorter than the factory SIG, but I can’t really say because I forgot to measure it before installing the Tyrant Designs trigger.

One might ask, how is the trigger pull? It is pretty good. There is some slight pre-travel, as aforementioned. Then you hit a wall and the trigger breaks cleanly, followed by a bunch of over-travel. The break itself is really short! Reset is really good also. There is no changing of the factory P320 springs, so I expected the reset to be good. Now, Tyrant doesn’t say their trigger will do this, but in my SIG, it dropped the trigger pull weight by approximately 0.5 lbs. So I am now sitting at 4.75 lbs. This trigger made the P320 easier to shoot for me.

I really like what Tyrant Designs did in their SIG P320 trigger. It has a really good “feel” to it. Plus it has Tyrant's typical look to it. Go check out the P320 trigger from Tyrant Designs. After all, it’s a decent trigger design.
