[@dtrain5519]

Great video ! Just got this gun. Shooting it this weekend!!😃

[@LucidLoki]

One thing I’ve noticed with this gun that I’m not used to, but when you put the slide back on and go to lock to the rear, the takedown lever automatically clicks back in place. One less step in the assembly process, very cool!

[@timvarano5562]

It's also nice you can't press the slide release without removing the mag/putting a loaded mag in. Great design

[@LucidLoki]

@@timvarano5562 true. I feel like Sig is definitely evolving the pistol platform, and rifles for that matter. I’ll always be a Glock fan, and still love them and use them, but I find myself including more newer Sigs into the rotation. My go to carry atm is a P365 with Wilson Combat XL grip. Added a tac dev floor plate and it is perfect. Gonna use some of the x macro 17rd mags as backup and sometimes carry in it with jacket.

[@user-jetmachinist]

i agree , i prefer a longer barrel than a compensator .

[@frankbutta9344]

Sig’s marketing department is working overtime! There’s no just buying the next size up grip module. You have to buy the module AND a new set of magazines=$$$$$$$ The P365 name has been a stellar seller, so we’re going to see even more iterations like this faux comp model. I own 3 of the original P365 pistols, and they’re fine for my carry needs. Having said all that, whatever keeps Sig in business is good.

[@timshelley8635]

Great video! I would also be interested in the performance difference between the different barrel lengths.

Graham Baates, GREAT REVIEW! I appreciate the no nonsense review that covered everything that I wanted to know and had the perfect amount of personal experience/opinion from a man that clearly has experience with Sig offerings, as well as many other handguns & firearms. Thanks!

[@JayG87]

Thank you. I really enjoy your table top reviews!

[@JohnScheppler]

I like the new way of showing the different sizes of the back straps since KZbin won't let you do it any another way. Only suggestion would be to have some type of grid on the table to see the size differences. It wasn't as noticeable when you changed from stock to thin as it was going from thin to thick back straps. Maybe a grid pattern background would show this off better?? Great Job excited for the range review.

[@ms_freemant]

Great suggestion

[@cliffordmurdock2407]

i am glad sig is always innovating. they are definately going in the right direction with the 365. i would like them to come out with more guns like the p229 pro. i would like to see the velosity difference in a 3.1 vs 3.7 in 365.

[@GBGuns]

We also experimented off camera with slapping the regular XL slide on this frame and comparing the two just for feel. Interesting results that we'll need to do on camera.

[@joshroten3997]

Nice review. Just a couple of FYI’s: 1) The TLR-7/TLR-8 lights fit this great. They are almost flush with the muzzle. 2) With a TLR-8G on mine, it fit a couple of my Glock 19/23/45 holsters nicely.

[@Leo_Sneedinsky]

A flux brace would be awesome for one of these, a micro pdw would be a fun gimmick, seeing how the pistol has an optics cut, comp, and a pic rail

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Flux brace? What's that?

[@CaveWyatt]

I think it’s wunderbar that Sig is always trying new features, designs, etc. My old P365XL might start to feel inferior but I still love it. At least until my P365 380 takes over, and that might be soon. Finally got it to the range last week and got about 50 rounds through it and it’s exactly what the doctor ordered (i.e. NOT a Ruger). So smooth shooting! That XL frame may not be required and I didn’t even notice the safety so I may not have to pull it off and void the warranty. Might just leave the big floor plates on the 12 rnd mags I got and make them my in-pocket backups.

[@ms_freemant]

🤣🤣 not a Ruger .. Best comment award!!

[@joshuasterling2144]

Anything other than the LCP...lol

[@kaufcw01]

Something to add that I found on my. The frame is slightly thicker in the area where the manual safety goes and it does interfere with the safety levers after you notch the frame for the the manual safety. That are of the frame will need to be reduced for a safety to work. And you can see the die insert from the mold in that area for a manual safety compatibility frame

[@Kenn1969]

Can’t wait for this one.

[@ms_freemant]

It's impressive!!

[@douglasparker2086]

[@whatfreedom7]

What’s dumb is they have the long slide but the short barrel with lower velocity. They should have done the standard barrel slide port instead.

I really want to own a sig, the grip and feel of their firearms are poetry. But I can't get over all the stories you find of their firearms discharging in holters or involuntary when dropped/knocked against something.

[@GBGuns]

Try to find a story of that happening with a gun produced in the last 3-5 years. They fixed that a while back

[@killervztwogaming5796]

[@cardboardkiller6883]

At 1st glance, I thought- "OH CRAP! Now I need to sell my P365XL and get one of these P365X Macros!" LOL! But, after watching your video I realized that my P365XL is still perfect for me and isn't going anywhere! I have regular length hands with fingers that are on the skinnier side of average (yes, I know, I should have been a Gynecologist 😃). That being said, the 365XL grip with a 12rd mag just barely fits all my fingers. Just barely but it does fit. I also have an athletic body, so a smaller handle is easier for me to conceal. I don't have a gut, love handles or back-fat to hide a hand-cannon under (yes, we all have our crosses to bare). I had a completely custom compensated fullsize 1911 single stack and I absolutely loved it. Hence my initial attraction to this new variant. Even though my fingers are thin, they are wirey & as strong as anyone's (I have been working construction for 28yrs). So the P365XL's recoil is very manageable for me. I practice & do drills, so a 12rd in the pistol & 2 15rd backup mags is absolutely enough for me to feel secure in that I have enough rounds for any personal defense situation that I may encounter. Don't get me wrong, more rounds is cool and if I only intend to own one pistol for every situation, then I would absolutely consider this (and of course, if I had thicker paws). Being that I have different pistols & firearms for different applications & situations, the P365XL is the right fit for my EDCC pistol. I plan to add a threaded barrel & massage the trigger on her and get a couple higher capacity mags to keep in the truck & nightstand. I think that Sig is definitely on the right track with the P365 & P320 line ups, with there modular compatibility and vast offerings to cater to every size shooter. I definitely see the need for every size they offer. I am a hammer over striker guy and with that Sig offered a DA/SA P365 hammer variant. I would buy one in a heartbeat! I am absolutely love my Sig P2022 9mm over the P320, because of its FCG. Not that everyone should feel this way, but that just happens to be my personal preference. While consensus says that the Sig P320 is allegedly a better pistol than the Ruger P95, I can get more rounds off with a little bit more accuracy than I can with a Sig 320 (again, that's me and I'm sure that many others will see this differently).

[@GBGuns]

It's just like the automotive analogy we talked about last Saturday Live Chat. If you look in any given parking lot you're likely to see a wide variety of makes and models. Why? Because those cars were the right choice for the owner at the time they bought it. We all have different needs, tastes, budgets, etc. That doesn't make any single make or model the perfect choice for everyone.

[@rtacher]

Yes would love to see red dot Mount.

[@Quality_Guru]

It will be interesting see if/when Sig Sauer will release a P365XL with a threaded barrel with a mini comp on the barrel. If they keep improving the P365, then that will be next.

[@fireeyes5399]

I wouldn't mind seeing them do it to the regular small P365

[@thomasanderson8000]

It feels better than my g19

[@ironwolfF1]

As to the shooting portion of the review, I'm conflicted...part of me wants to see it operate 'as is', OTOH, RDS's are the next big thing. Maybe consider a two part shooting video, one the standard 'What's for dinner.', and a (shorter time length) follow-up vid with the freebie RDS (allowing you the chance to offer a further opinion on this pistol). P.S. -- Thought exercise: wouldn't it be interesting if SIG offered a variant chambered in .30 SC (making SIG the 2nd adopter of that new caliber).

[@GBGuns]

It would be. They'd be third after the original two of Nighthawk and S&W

[@armadon161]

Wish they made a non-gucci version of the 365 XL specter comp. Compensated 15rd XL without the added price tag for TiN parts or x shaped lightening cuts.

[@BackwoodsMaineiac1986]

Agreed. Put that money into tritium adjustable night sights, red dot cut and include a budget dot like a swampfox or such right out the box.

[@jardinero9112]

I bought mine over a year ago. I put like 2,000 rounds through not one issue. Until one day i went shooting and all of a sudden i got a dead trigger issue. Thats right DEAD TRIGGER i didnt know what that was then. Pulled the trigger back to fire a round and nothing. No spring in the trigger. Ì took the gun apart and a small spring fell out of the hand gun. I called sig and they sent me a label. They returned the weapon in about a week. Which is not bad. Left a note saying they changed the trigger spring. Been about six months since i got the gun back and about 1,200 rounds through her without an incident. Love the gun and its my edc as well as on my night stand. Any thoughts?

[@theguitardude12345]

Heck yeah, I would love to see the XL slide on the X Macro frame. Been thinking if they're gonna sell the frame on it own and see if it's compatible. Already have an XL so it'd be great to just by the frame instead of a whole pistol lol

Literally - put an XL barrel in the slide and it's an XL.

[@fishcars8078]

@@ChaoticWrath The XL barrel won't fit in the comped macro slide, but the XL slide will fit on the macro frame.

[@traumajock]

From what I'm seeing about the Macro, it's not better than my 365XL enough for me to go buy it. If I need 17 rounds, I have a full size P320 in 3 calibers (15 for 40 and 357 Sig) I don't find muzzle flip to be a severe problem. I think this is Sig trying to maximize return on their engineering investment by making tweaks on a proven platform. I'm not saying its not good. I'm saying I'm still very happy with my 365XL.

[@bbazzracing]

I don't think this is supposed to replace someone's x or xl unless you have really big hands and want a full grip like a full size gun. I think it's more for people that are new to edc and shooting in general. Its a thin smallish gun with a full grip more rounds little recoil and you can put all the attachments on it. If anything this will be a good replacement for people that carry bigger guns for the full size grip, less recoil, and more rounds like a Glock 19.

[@Samyouell11510]

Ya know… this is probably one of the better takes I’ve seen somebody have on the maco. Well put man

Yes you will be able to. The entire 365 family, just like the 320 family, is modular. We'll do a video mixing and matching some of the parts.

Have you looked into the Wilson combat grip module for the XL? it's a little wider among other improvements. Cheap upgrade that makes the pistol a lot more comfortable.
