[@adamharrington6888]

Thank you guys for the consistent and honest reviews! I had the P365 SAS, didn't like the sights and picked up the P365 XL. The size difference is not noticeable from the SAS to the XL as I had the 12 round mag for my SAS. The bonus with the XL is that you do not need to purchase the extended mag for a better grip if you have size L or larger hands. The SAS was too small to grip for me. I have had my P365's for over a year, easily 1k rounds through them. Not a single malfunction. Tight groups, it weighs nothing, and is easily concealable with jeans and a tshirt on no matter what type of carry you're doing. I carry center abdomen and often forget it's even there. I jog with it and even play a little solo basketball shooting around while my dog plays in the part. It's that comfortable hence the design and name, designed and meant to be worn 365 days out of the year. Other guns are too thick, too long, or they feel like cheap plastic and the grips suck. The P365 is hot and ready to go right out of the box. Great value for the cost in my opinion. I hope this helps you all out. Especially since there's some sort of buzz going around about malfunctions. I am unaware of that, and have had not a single malfunction with either of mine.

I can't think of anywhere else you can watch bullets in flight without slow-mo. Always a little bit mesmerizing. His p365xl's windage is slightly off, he shot about a 10" group out at the gong, just most of them off the metal to the right & down.

Kathrynck - Years ago I used to do plinking with a Webly 455 out to 50 - 75 yards. If you maintained your focus after the shot, you could see the slug hit the target. Course, its only traveling 750-800 fps if I recall correctly. Loads of fun to shoot, though.

[@markpope2949]

I agree absolutely and even more so. I OWN a P365 and use 12 rd magazines in it exclusively. I fired a P365XL, a friend's carry weapon this weekend. I did not burn it down or anything, just fired 40 rounds or so through it, and I can tell you it is a superior shooting weapon to the P365 especially with the 9BPLE that I carry in it. It is much easier to control with MUCH less muzzle flip due to the slightly wider grip swell and 0.6" longer barrel. It is just about as concealable as the two grips are equal in LENGTH with the 12 round mags inserted. They fit in the same holsters. The Optics Ready Slide on the P365XL is valuable for future upgrades, the FLAT TRIGGER made no difference, and the longer sight radius made it more accurate for me. I am NOT going to sell my P365, but I'm going to buy a P365XL as soon as this COVID-19 PLANNEDEMIC stupidity is over.

Last year I bought my first carry gun - a new P 365. I take it to the range once a month and shoot at least 50 rounds. The gun has performed perfectly with only normal maintenance and it's actually pretty easy to break down and clean. I love it. Recently, I had an opportunity to shoot an XL. I noticed the difference that more mass makes in absorbing recoil, and for that reason, and the longer handle, decided to sell my 365 and get the XL. That's not meant to be a criticism; they're both marvels of engineering. It would have been helpful to let potential buyers know that they should plan for the purchase of a loading tool if they plan to load all 12 into the clip, or, be Superman. That is one stiff spring. Since I do shoot the 365, I'm qualified to say that your demonstration was some pretty impressive shooting. Thanks again.

[@jessetrue2956]

Yesterday I rented 5 pistols to compare to the p365XL at the range. I have medium size hands and decided that comfort/accuracy while shooting was one of the most important things for me. Guns I rented were: • Glock 43 • Glock 26 • Glock 19 • M&P Shield • Taurus Slim 9mm (just to try a different price range) • Sig p365xl The sig out performed all of them. Glock 43 - Too long to carry. Glock 26 - Too wide to carry inside the waist band for me and the grip tore my palm up completely Glock 19 - too wide and too long (second most accurate shooting compared to the sig for my hand size though) M&P Shield - Felt inaccurate because of the skinniness of the handle and how wide the handle is from the back of the grip to the trigger for my hands to shoot it well. Taurus Slim - Long trigger pull, extremely inaccurate (could've just been the sites that were off or my shooting style) had a misfire Sig p365xl - Felt like it was designed around my hand, first shot was dead on the bullseye, 90 degree trigger pull, the ability to order with or without a thumb safety, capacity and other magazines that actually work with it, extremely slim compared to just about everything else, no misfires at all, beaver tail was great When comparing to it's little brother Sig p365 - round trigger, small beaver tail, shorter barrel, lower capacity, extended magazines make it the EXACT shape of the XL with the same rounds, magazine doesn't eject as well because it hits your palm and then pinches your pinky when you're reloading fast Sig p365xl - Flat trigger, longer beaver tail, longer barrel by half inch, higher capacity magazine, mag easier to eject, less recoil I'm planning to make the 365XL my conceal carry. It really is amazing. They're also planning to release a new site for it soon.

[@johncashwell1024]

Thanks Hickok45! I carried the Sig P320C 9mm until the Sig P365 came out. Your review on that helped me decide to go with that, with 12 round magazines, as my EDC pistol. And I have 3000 rounds through it using mostly hotter 124grn NATO and +P ammo. Not a single malfunction of any kind. I have now switched from the FBI 135grn +P carry ammo to the SIG 365 branded carry and practice ammo as the NATO and +P ammo was LOUD! I got to thinking that if I had to discharge my weapon indoors, it might be a bit too noisy! Anyway, my sights are now set on the SIG P365XL. I was a SIG guy in the military (I carried a P226) and now because their weapons just fit like a glove for me and 'feel great in the hand' as you say. Thanks again Hickok45 & John!

It's so enjoyable to watch your videos. I held my first P365 XL today and the one thing I didn't like was the shortened pistol grip in my hand. I am glad to see that SIG makes a 15 rd mag that compensates with that grip. I did notice the P365 MACRO has a larger pistol grip and was extremely comfortable in my hand. The dimensions with the MACRO and the XL were almost identical with the exception of the pistol grip length. One thing I did notice on the MACRO is that I couldn't drop the slide with the mag inserted, at first I thought this was a flaw, but the salesman explained to me that SIG actually intended this so that the shooter couldn't load an empty magazine. He put a dummy round in and showed that the slide would drop and without it was impossible. SIG is brilliant and very thoughtful.

It conceals nice and flat anywhere on the body with little inconvenience - with a good holster, of course. I was determined I was going to buy a hellcat that day. Test drove 'em both over 300rds and without question the P365/XL was worth the price difference. P365 recoil impulse was a lot softer than the Hellcat and even better with the XL.

Owner of XL... and my FYI I did not rush my purchase of this p365xl weapon. I am 60yrs old, 6'1, #260pds, large muscular and large hands. Retired and traveling via RV all 50 states. I wanted concealability, but I have always carried large duty framed weapons. So a longer sight plane and something that fit my pickle finger hand was required. I did add an ARMORY CRAFT extended 1mm mag release extension/Nimrod pinky extension on 12rd magazine (for 10rd mags, but with modification fits 12rd very neat and nicely), and a Hogue grip. There is no extra printing in concealing my weapon. I carry in a Vedder LighTuck, or Versacarry holster +Mag holster dependent on my enviroment. My choice of rounds was Cival Defense 50gr for high population environments (no over penetration) and 147gr HST/standard #2 loads. I must say the 150gr HST Micro works wonderful as well for double tap with less recoil, being made specifically for short barrel weapons. This is a wonderful weapon to EDC, and I carry it every day every where. I highly suggest anyone with a large frame and hands not to be leery of purchasing this weapon. I purchased 2 weeks ago the HOLOSUN 507K Micro Red Dot from KENZIE Optics....I wear Bifocals and front sight acquisition quickly is at times is hard to pickup on "ANY PISTOL" I carry. It should not print at all on my concealed holsters and look forward to this addition. I am RETIRED NYS LEO of 36yrs carrying under HR218 Bill and find this weapon extremely accurate and versatile.

My wife, son, and I all carry and shoot the P365. We have many small pistols, and the P365 has relatively little recoil. The P365’s grip can be made longer with a 12 round magazine, but the XL can’t be made shorter. I mostly pocket carry my P365, and it’s perfect for that.

I'm 5'7" so the gun is basically perfect for me. I still prefer a full grip on my guns so, instead of the p365, I went with the p365x. Which is the version with the XL frame but the regular 3.2 inch barrel. I think it's basically the perfect gun for me. I can get that full grip but it's still super light and I don't have to endure the annoyance of carrying a g19. I know some people love it but I always hated the weight of the g19.

[@scaleworksRC]

Just picked mine up today and it feels just about perfect. I wanted the XL, but they only had ones with manual safeties which was one of the reasons for me switching.. so I went with the 365X and not disappointed at all. I'll take this gun to the grave with me.

Awesome small gun, very concealable. Cleaned it before ever shooting, not one malfunction first 200 rounds (150 AE 115 FMG, 50 Federal HST 124 +P). Totally love this gun, everything about it. My hand size is womewhere in the average (can nearly palm a basketball, but cannot palm a basketball), and the size, weight, capacity, grip texture, just love it.

I am a fan of Hickok 45 and was impressed with this video. I swapped my EDC from a M&P Shield 380 EZ (8+1 rounds of Hornady 380 95 gr FTX) to the Sig P365 XL (12+1 rounds of Hornady 9 mm 115 gr FTX) The Sig is smaller than the Smith and uses more powerful rounds. I keep my EZ in the night stand now.

[@silverwolfarmory6800]

I’ve have glocks tarus hell cats and I must say the sig sauer Xl p365 has got to be one of the most smoothest guns with reliable compact ability feels slick sure the extra size is just a bit noticeable but the thinness makes up for it with amazing accuracy it’s a must buy.

[@sultanaljuhani1571]

Hey Ed, hope all is good. May I ask how reliable the p365xl compared to the Glocks? where I live the Glocks r out of stock for many months but the SIGs r available. Also, good maintenance workshops r very rare so the reliability is a huge factor for my decisions. appreciate your feedback

[@Ed-yh8dg]

Great review and love your videos. I own both the P3 65 XL and a Glock 19 and both are great guns. But I do prefer the sig. for carry purposes as it does have a smaller profile and a little easier to conceal. One note that always gets me is when some friends will say the sig can only carry 12 versus the Glock 15; as a former law-enforcement officer I would say that most self-defense situations are going to be within 10 yards and it’s going to be over in a few rounds so I doubt the difference between 12 and 15 or even the shooting capability at 25 yards or longer downrange is much of a factor for defense carry reasons.

[@randydowell3902]

Thanks for your service sir. I had been carrying a .357 snub that held 5. Always thought that would be enough rounds. Due to bad hands I just bought the Sig.

[@rupertpicante2079]

For carry my p365xl is way better than the glock 19. The 15 round magazine prints more than the 12 round mag. No big deal though. I always have one in the pipe so it is 12+1 or 15+1

[@slmyatt]

Got a Sig P365 "tacpac", with three (full grip) 12rd mags and ambidextrous holster, on 2019 Black Friday with a manufacture date of Nov 2019. Holster is great for keeping trigger covered on a loaded pistol, but not ideal for IWB carry. Best shooting micro of any caliber/capacity I've ever shot. Primer drag minimal to nonexistent, x-ray 3 day/night sights, save me spending $150+ buying/installing inferior aftermarket night sights. The front dot super easy to pick up in daylight, and at night the front tritium is larger than rear, a huge factor of stressed the dark. Trigger is perfect for me, set further forward and breaking further forward than other micros, with smooth pull and light crisp break. Was planning on buying three 12 rd mags for full grip and higher capacity. The 365-9-bxr3 T also saved me $150 on mags, and I wish all pistols came with a cheap holster to safely cover trigger giving time to pick an appropriate holster. I accidently discovered best way to adapt to concealed carry is to lug a glock 19 around first, then switch to P365. It is a pistol I do not resent the ABC of ccl. Always Be Carrying.

Another great review from Hickok45. The XL shoots better than the 365, less recoil, and a really smooth trigger. No more striker drag with the XL either. I love the XL but I still prefer the 365 as an everyday micro carry.

[@roberthamilton8024]

P365 in any model is a great firearm. I have 3. The basic 365, a 365 xl, and a 365 SAS. All of them are flawless shooters although I must say I am not a fan of Sigs SAS system. Holding point of aim at the center my shots hit off grid and upper left regularly. Still a great shooter but you cannot trust the aim enough to carry with confidence.

[@justinmurray7039]

I got an SAS for a good deal from a buddy and i didnt really care for the sights or how small the grip was. I ended up buying a new slide with regular iron sights and an XL grip module and it made a world of difference. Basically modified it into a P365X, love it

[@LPMojoGL]

Hickock45 reminds me of my Cowboy Pop-pop. Smart, tall, articulate, happy to teach, overall a rock. He taught me to shoot, fish and play guitar. I imagine Poppop and Hickock45 could sip some suds and have some good conversations. Good health and happiness to you, Hickock.

To put it in perspective how thin the 356 is, it's about a tenth of an inch thicker than my lc9s which holds 7 rounds... Pretty awesome

[@cliftonwhittaker260]

Bought the P365XL about a month ago and haven't even loaded a magazine yet. The Montgomery County Shooting Complex is closed this year. I have noticed that I have trouble getting my trigger finger into the trigger guard rapidly. My finger wants to hang up on the front of the trigger guard. Either my finger is too long or the trigger guard opening is too small, but I have to consciously think about and look to see that my finger is going where it needs to go. I'm sure that when I get enough range time this will not be a problem. This is the first of these itty bitty plastic 9s that I have had. S&W N frame has always been my go to and recently added a S&W mod 646 L frame that I love. A FEW WEEKS LATER: I took it to an indoor range. Lighting wasn't real good but at 7 yd everything went into on ragged hole. Fired one box of 50 and found the XL to be much easier to shoot accurately than I had anticipated. Now I want more range time.

Thanks for making your videos! After much research and many video reviews I purchased the sig p365XL and you are right, it feels perfect in the hand! Amazing grip! I got rid of my G43X because it had way too much recoil for me. I think men have stronger grip and can control the recoil much better. Not that I’m a wimp but try as I might I just couldn’t control that recoil. This 365XL is much better! Very happy with it and this will be my CC gun.

It has a creep-free pull, and a very smooth break. It breaks at a comfortable distance for all hand sizes, and has a nice short reset. It's probably around 6 lbs, but it's so smooth it feels like 4. (that all goes for both of them) The flat trigger on the xl feels a little nicer to me. Nice sights on both too. Honestly I like the non-xl best for it's size, but I would really like to see an updated version of the non-xl with the flat trigger. I doubt we'll see a non-xl with the top plate, since the slide is so light any 'additions' would be pretty questionable for functionality without a correspondingly lighter spring.

[@AndrewMartinez1776Redux]

That's the only time I'd buy a glock.

[@daddydoc1115]

I went to buy one, the one I bought was labled as a 365xl but in reality it was a 365x. Difference is, the slide is the 365 length while the grip is the xl. The version i got was the "tac pac" edition, plate cut for an optic, flat trigger, flush 12 rd mags and let me say for my mid sized brothers (5'10) its a perfect size. A little lighter and shorter than the XL which already is tiny, but with the same grip benefits of having flush 12rds and a plate for optics. Definetly seems like the best of both worlds, would highly recommend checking one out before buying a 365 or an xl
