Sig Sauer p365x - First 100 Round Review. Good Right Out Of The Box?

[@tamadrummer001]

Been running my p365 x for over a year and it’s really been outstanding. The mags will absolutely loosen up but it runs like a machine and shoots as straight as you can make it happen. Great choice!!

[@andrewmconrad]

Thanks! It's so much more comfortable to carry than my 320xc. It's just a little smaller and lighter. Perfect for the hot Florida summers

[@propblast82nd]

@@andrewmconradI like the longer grip for a better purchase, wondering if Holosun optics will fit the Sig ?

I carried a g43x for years and swore by it. About 5 months ago I was looking to upgrade the wife’s 380 to a 9mm and chose the p365x. After running it on the range with her and getting a lot of time in with it, I started enjoying it more than my glock. I can conceal it better, my split times are better, hell even the trigger is better. Needless to say I bought a second one shortly there after and it is my new EDC. I’m definitely not disappointed.

[@troytruong8246]

G43x is too big for smaller frame folks to ccw.

[@johncrone3612]

Put a Hogue Handall Beavertail grip on there. It makes a tremendous difference. I think it’s a very smooth shooter in my opinion. Love it. 12 rds, full grip, yet light and compact. 👍

[@restant8845]

bought one for my first conceal carry purchase a week after my birthday. I love it and perfect for conceal carry. Right now i only have a red beam and it conceals perfectly. Dont really need a red dot for conceal carry as id rather save my money for more of a target/ competition pistol.

[@dmlchannel3262]

Andrew... try the MagGuts 12+2 magazine springs in your P365X magazines. Not only will you obtain 2 extra rounds in the OEM 12 round mags, but they are also much easier to load to capacity. I don't usually mess with magazine springs in a defensive carry pistol but have found the MagGuts springs to be 100% reliable over more than 1,000 rounds.

[@andrewmconrad]

Someone else recommended those internals. I will definitely check that out

[@dmlchannel3262]

@@andrewmconrad You'll be glad you did... and you might want to take a look at the Wilson Combat grip module. It's aggressive grip is perfect and extends all the way up to the slide.

Just ordered my P365X, when it gets in i will buy that MagGUT kit and try it out. If it works out well, i will get another

[@jasonusaf6326]

Another vote for the magguts kits. I have them installed in ALL mags of my 3 P365s and after thousands of rounds ZERO failures.

[@dennishish5930]

Absolutely need a speed loader. It is the nature of the beast, but it works flawlessly.

[@andrewmconrad]

Yup, found that out the hard way. They're starting to loosen up with time

[@mook528]

You’re “milking” the grip too much (as you stated) and you’re releasing the trigger way past the reset, looks like you’re taking your finger off the trigger after every shot. That affects your accuracy and speed. Only release the trigger right up to the reset and then fire again or hold it at the reset and re acquire your sight picture

[@jaimevega9701]

I realize the same thing about the trigger and you totally right about that

[@TheExplosiveGuy]

I can't imagine carrying anything other than a P365X, I love mine. The stock mags left a bit to be desired though, they are hard as hell to load and just a tad bit too short to get a firm grip with my pinky, so I did some digging and found out about a company called Magguts, they sell a flatspring/follower/baseplate kit that makes a world of difference in my pinky grip, along with adding +2 to magazine capacity while only adding 1/8 inch to the baseplate height (the follower is shorter and the flatspring compresses further than a coilspring plus the slightly larger baseplate, all told the extra space allows for two more rounds). The baseplate has a contoured lip for superb grip and the additional 1/8 inch to the height makes zero difference in concealability and a 100% difference in grip, if you have a P365X you are a fool if you don't get a magguts kit. And the +2 to capacity is phenomenal, for a gun this small being able to carry 14+1 is insane. And to add the cherry on top, the mags are way easier to load, like twice as easy, the magguts kit takes a ton of friction out and seems to increase reliability as well.

[@True-Tails]

How do you feel it compared to the shield plus?

[@TheExplosiveGuy]

@@True-Tails I've never shot one so I couldn't say, but I've heard good things about them. All I know is I adore my 365X, It's the most comfortable, reliable and best shooting micro compact I've used.

@@True-Tails Or better yet, what do you THINK?

[@jackf3619]

Bought it thanks for the tip man!!

[@TheExplosiveGuy]

@@jackf3619 You're gonna love them, they're amazing. I've been carrying mine for the last two years and haven't had one single issue, the entire experience has been positive. I think the only thing I can complain about is the $30 price tag, it brings the cost of each magazine up to $80 each but you only need one or two (if you carry a spare like I do), so I still can't really complain. Enjoy!

[@NittyGritty420]

Pretty accurate for such a tiny gun. I just picked one up used. It’s snappy but that’s to be expected. I love the sights and the overall aesthetic of the gun.

[@andrewmconrad]

Agreed. Fantastic little weapon

[@delariverside]

Add a DPM recoil reduction spring to it. Transformed mine.

[@TheExplosiveGuy]

​@delariverside I gotta try that, I've got one in my SP-01 Custom race gun and it made a huge difference, it shoots incredibly flat, especially after adding a threaded barrel and compensator along with an enlarged gas pedal, the thing shoots like a .22 LR...

[@Brad-ic4bp]

I’ve heard this pistol described as snappy, but with the 365X full sized grip, and my support hand covering most of the gun, it feels surprisingly comfortable and controllable. When I think of snappy (and painful), the Walther PPK and the S&W 642 come to mind. I agree with you in the mags though - I can only fit 11 rounds in the 12-round magazine, with a loader.

[@FullHouseOutfitters]

Indeed, I got rid of my 642 almost as soon as I bought it. No fun at all.

[@bennyboy6367]

Agreed. I just picked up my p365 (I'm in California so it's the only 'legal' 365). I put a Wilson Combat p365xl grip module and a Holosun 507K. I don't think it's snappy at all. I think the original grip is so small that it's difficult for some people to get a tight grip, so it appears snappy. The Wilson is a bit thicker. I just added some baseball tape (Lizard Skin) so I'll try that next range visit. I'd like to see how the Icarus p365xl grip module feels. It's a lot of money to purchase blind.

[@garytucholl7699]

I don’t find anything in 9mm to be snappy. But then, I don’t think of the .40 as snappy either. I’ve never been recoil sensitive…

[@saltwatersaddletramp7229]

I’ve got a 365XL and I had to buy a mag loader. Those mags are a beast to load.

[@Brad1237202]

Thanks for the P365X review Andrew! Enjoy the weekend!

[@andrewmconrad]

Thanks Brad 👊🏻

[@Andrew-cm5tc]

I rented one at the range that had a red dot on it when I shot my new M&P 2.0. Now I want one of these too. I got the smallest M&P 2.0 in 9mm and it’s fantastic. Normally I carry the Ruger LC9s but it has a couple problems with it and I want to upgrade. Hollow points get stuck on the bottom of the feedramp sometimes and the gun catches on loaded magazines when I try to pull the magazine out. I’ve even had a bullet fall out when i pull the mag out. I carry it with fmj. The 365x fits in the same uncle mikes size 1 iwb clip holster as my ruger which is super confortable plus it holds a few more bullets.

[@frankhinkle5772]

I'm breaking in new magazines for my carry gun. As soon as I got them I wiped off all of the packing grease and loaded them, which was extremely difficult. Then I let them sit loaded for a week before I test fired them. I cycled them each 7 times, both fully loaded and loaded +1. They worked. Just break them in by leaving them loaded and see how they are next time out.

[@andrewmconrad]

That's essentially what I did. I shot 10 rounds 5 times out of each mag. I felt them loosen a little bit, but still difficult. I'll keep doing that. I eventually want to do a 1000 round review.

[@frankhinkle5772]

@@andrewmconrad That's a very good idea. You might see a difference in the pistol and magazines by 500 rounds.

Yeah, sig mags are ridiculously expensive. I think I want to pick up a macro as well, but I have a few on the list before that

[@True-Tails]

How did ya’ll feel the shield plus compared to the 365X?

[@GuardianCraft1]

@@True-Tails Most will say the Sheild, however, I preferred the 365. Personally, I just shot it getter and at the end of the day, that's what counts regardless of gun. I'd would recommend you rent them at a local gun range and test them out. I also like the trigger guard on the 365 as it's larger for my fingers compared to the shield. If the grip becomes an issue, you can change it out on the 365, but not on the shield. You can probably buy a ton of mags for the shield and will need a personal loan for sig mags..... Good luck.

[@llamawizard]

For me, the 365X strikes the cord of small for EDC, good capacity, but also something I can shoot well enough. I wouldn’t go smaller than the X.

[@woodystube1000]

I have always been a huge Sig fan. With that said, Sig made an error with the ergonomics on the 365 line, which is very visible in this video. There is no place to securely press against the frame with your support thumb, and the pistol jumps out of your grip with every trigger pull. Watch the shooting and notice you have to adjust and re-grip your support thumb with each round. You can get aftermarket grip modules that solve this problem with stippling/gas pedal, but they add SIGNIFICANT cost to your pistol, and Sig doesn’t offer one.

[@ConservaTron82]

I got my 365X when they first came out and it's been edc since. I have well over 1000 rounds through it. Mine likes herters/ Winchester and absolutely hates norma

[@andrewmconrad]

Any hollow points?

[@Magswap]

1:33 wait can I ask why did you switch? I'm left handed for most things although I am actually right eye dominant so I've been considering switching.

[@andrewmconrad]

@Magswap just the way I was having to come up with my left hand and then over to fit my right eye, it wasn't working accuracy wise and in competition. Since switching over to my right hand (I'm fairly ambidextrous) my accuracy has improved exponentially. One thing though is that my trigger finger on my left hand will always be faster than my right. Another reason I switched is because I read the book based on Adam Brown's life (navy seal who overcame so much) and saod if he can switch shooting hands and perform at the highest level, I can switch hands too

[@Magswap]

@andrewmconrad dang that's pretty encouraging, I feel like I'm in a similar boat. Thanks for the insight!

Sig isn't without fault. It seems to use it's consumers as beta testers, it's had rust issues on some models, and various quality control concerns on other models - the "drop-fire" feature of the P320 comes to mind, which was frankly inexcusable and when first released some P365 striker pins were breaking, which I saw happen first hand. I admit that's long ago and both issues have been sorted out but it goes back to my first concern. I EDC a P365X, but if H&K made a hi-cap version of the 365X, I'd likely be all over it.
