A user in that thread reported multiple instances of his X5 firing out of battery, though fortunately, no damage and simple fix apparently. For a pistol that picked up a military contract, this sure seems to be having a lot of teething issues.

The M17 pistols sold to the military have a disconnector that was then added to the P320 as part of the Voluntary Upgrade. The pistol in that thread is supposedly is fixed as well, so I don't get how this is happening. Interesting to note that the ruptured case from the ammo he was using blew off the extractor because of the vent hole in the slide, so that's a smart idea. I've seen X5s have issues going into battery because of the barrel fit. I wouldn't think they could fire in that position.
