You can always make a short grip longer but you can only make a long grip shorter once. I'm surprised Sig doesn't sell a P365L.

[@NotHunterCooper]

To me, the version to get is the P365X. Optics ready P365 slide on an XL body. Grab a WC XL frame or Macro frame for $50, and if you want to go the comp route grab a threaded barrel and Herrington Arms comp. If you want to summertime "speedo carry" all you need is a regular P365 frame to be all set. Take advantage of the modularity and save money.

[@DerWaidmann_]

I carried my P365X for about a year, swapping grip frames in the summer to the 10 round length. I then carried an XL for another year. I actually just decided recently to go back to carrying the X model, 3 inch barrel with 12 round grip. The loss in energy is negligible when the barrel is only .6 inches shorter but it weighs so much less. It's also nice to not have it poke your thighs when you climb in and out of a car all day.

[@garrettstiles7808]

I’ve gone from an XL to a standard for carry due more to weight than grip & slide length, but it all helps it carry easier.

I second that. P365x is the perfect middle ground. I got the new slide version that retains the factory night sights with the optic cut. Holosun eps carry on there and the gray guns laser stippled grip to use the 12 rd mags. It’s just absolutely perfect.

The P365 XL is also my daily carry for the same reasons. It was a close race between it and the Macro, but the XL won out for concealability. Besides, the XL also can hold 17 if you really want it to. I carry a 17 round mag in mine during cool months when I wear a hoodie.

[@alfredeneuman6966]

P365XL for me too. Holds sufficient rounds, a longer more comfortable grip, and the barrel is a bit longer. The recoil is less as a result and it is easy to shoot at the range. Still readily concealable. I did add a manual safety, but just preference.

[@fredrauch1815]

I came to the same conclusion, for me, the XL is the sweet spot. I put a Wilson Combat grip module on it for better grip.

[@bleh1323]

Agree 100%. The Ikarus grip is also amazing.

[@JohnZ556]

P365 is a must. Then a 365XL or CR920P(10+1 as short as G43, 13rd spare) for more performance with dot/light. It really starts to print beyond this point, like G48 or G43X. Macro absolutely sucks as a CCW unless someone is used to carry compact-full sized, but then it is still just XL performance + a few more rounds.

P365 XL slide on the Macro grip module is the best variant. You get the 3.7” barrel (instead of Macro 3.1”). And a longer sight radius. With the 17 rounds. And it looks the best.

[@bchewpimpin2968]

There are like 4 different macros, 2 of them having the 3.7” barrel. The regular 365 Macro is full 3.7” same with the 365 Macro Tacops… When going to the 365 Macro Comp and 365 AXG Legion that is where you get the integrated comp with the 3.1” barrel. So no need to do that with your XL slide.

[@dexdexter2988]

I’m a retired LE officer with 26 years experience. Most of those I served as my PD firearms instructor. I was a dedicated Glock 19 shooter and carrier, both on and off duty for nearly all of my career. 14 years now since I’ve retired. I now have made the change to Sigs’ P365 series. I have all 4 of the smallest and lightest P365 s. The micro compact, the X, the XL, and the XMacro. Although retired I still carry nearly 7 days a week. For me both the smallest and the largest are equally my preferred carry. The 6 months of warmer weather I select the P365 micro. A ten round flat fitting magazine plus one in the chamber conceals well even in summer shorts. I put it in a flat sheath holster in my front right pocket. I also keep a 12 round mag in the other pocket. It’s easy to grab slip in my pocket when I’m in a hurry. In cooler/colder months I make the switch to the XMacro. While the X and XL do offer some benefits, to me the XMacro is not significantly larger. Especially for having the higher capacity 17rounds + 1. (That’s a 42% increase over the standard X or XL mag) The XMacro conceals under my coat in a pancake or shoulder holster very well. With two spare 17rd mags on my belt. I can justify the slightly larger handgun, which to me is still very compact yet offers more rounds compared to my old Glock 19.

[@JaronActual]

I agree with you and many others. The XL is the best compromise between size, concealability, and controllable shooting 9 regular X if you carry appendix ). I've said for years, Sig needs to release an XL grip module with a standard 1913 rail, not the proprietary one. Even better, do it in tungsten infused polymer. Yes, you can get an Icarus or Mischief Machine, but then you're paying just as much for the grip as you are for the rest of the pistol. I've never cared for the Macro. Grip is too long, especially with the chonky magazine plates which make printing much worse. Instead of the 3.1" barrel and comp, it should just have been a 4" from the get-go. It's Glock 17 capacity in the size of a Glock 48, but optics-capable, flat trigger, and standard accessory rail. What's not to like?

[@865TN]

Great video - I bought the P365X and it is absolutely amazing, fits every situation where I need concealability and function with 12+1, paired it with a holosun 507 green dot

[@mevans313]

I’ve owned all of the variations except the legion - and now I feel like I’ve found the perfect middle ground. I keep a P365X as my daily EDC and an xmacro comp with a 407K dot and TLR7 sub on it as a larger EDC if I want or need it. IMO this combo gives you the most versatile mix & match slide/grip capabilities depending on how you want to carry on a given day. If I had to pick just one, it would likely be the XL or if you can stretch, the spectre comp.

[@fredvStein]

The P365X is a nice sweet spot with the XL size grip but the smaller slide. A little snappier than the XL to shoot but easier to carry. The XL is a nicer shooter, but less comfortable to carry.

[@RizzoUnited9411]

I bought the 356 Legion a few weeks ago and if you are on the fence at all or even thought about it, GET IT! It really is the most amazing pistol and despite what he said about the weight, I'm a 200lb guy and do not notice it much at all. Anyway, great video and great comparison between the models!

[@richardefriend]

You missed the P365 version that's truly the best (since it's pocket carryable): the P365X with 12+1 standard capacity, increased to 14+1 with the addition of the Magguts 14+1 kit. And a combo light laser. And don't forget that with a short barrel, using the correct ammo is essential for EDC, and that ammo is Underwood's 90 gr. Xtreme Defender +P.

[@fredvStein]

any recommendations for laser/light combo that fits the P365X without sticking out past the slide that fits on the proprietary SIG rail? I wish Sig made a variant of the Foxtrot 365 and Lima365 that was a combo, but there's no room for much battery capacity so light output and/or longevity will suffer on such a small package.

[@michaelbutler9815]

I enjoyed the video as always. I'm a Sig P365 owner, certified armorer and carry it daily. I didn't read all the comments. I think a test with only iron sights and no flashlights on all variations would be a better comparison. Keep the great videos coming. Thanks.

[@jeremyh.1252]

The cool thing is, the XL and the Macro are literally the same gun with different plastic. So you can make it an XL for only the price of a grip module, (and a mag or two if you want flush fit). Summer carry XL and winter carry Macro is easier than ever, basically two guns for the price of one.

The WC grip module means my pinky has a place to go - and it shoots FAST and straight.

Big fan of the 365X. Grip is perfect size for my hand, and the shorter barrel length is ideal for concealing.

I’m sure I’m not alone is saying the P365X is the best, even if not part of the video. It’s small, light, has a straight trigger and optic plate, and has a full-size grip with 12 round mag. I had the basic/micro originally, but with the extended 12 round mag, the gap between the mag and frame would feel wobbly and pinch my finger when fired. Moving to the XL negates the whole micro-size advantage.

I got my P365 and added a large NDZ pinky extension on the mag base. Makes for a full size grip feel. With it, I can get my pinky, and fat fingers on the grip with the leverage of a full size. Fits like a glove.

[@BinaryPun]

Love this! I love my P365xl with a Wilson Combat grip. You've gotta try it, man! It has slight palm swells, without adding extra bulk. Huge ergo improvements imo.

[@Jaybird-oo3ih]

Agree, I have the Wilson combat grips and it’s been a game changer as far as ergonomics go. I added a TLR 6 to use in the house for home defense if the situation arises.

[@SIUDubFiend]

I love my 365x that I put a spectre comp slide on it when they came out so It’s xl size now. I also got a Wilson combat standard 365 grip module for deep conceal or summer carry. It’s pricey after everything but I practically have 2 pistols now.

[@loosecannon6852]

The versatility of this whole system is amazing. You can configure what fits your needs. And quickly.

[@J1Z06]

All it takes is $ 😬

[@Rnemhrd]

I have a OG P365 from 2018. Got a newer XL. Bought a spectre comp slide because F aftermarket. It was loaded with red dot height x ray sights. Less than piecing a aftermarket slide together. The comp slide is noticeable. I have the configurations I want. I love my glocks but shoot these fking great. Have a regular and xl Wilson combat grip module.

[@davidhudson2527]

I bought the fully loaded Spectre Comp slide for one of my XLs too and then had to do another XL build with the leftover slide. 😋😂

[@Slavolko]

You can also get MagGuts spring kits for the P365 and P365X/XL mags to add 2 extra rounds, meaning a very solid option for concealability and performance would be a P365X with a 14-round mag (thanks to MagGuts).

[@pcpolice7937]

I would not trust those magguts with my life. Had waaay too many problems in the M&P Shield magazines

[@Slavolko]

@@pcpolice7937 That's a bummer. I suppose that could be a problem. Maybe I'd find out by testing them on my mags and see how that goes.

[@fredvStein]

@@Slavolko The main issue I hear is that a leaf spring doesn't have the same strength as a coil spring.

[@Slavolko]

@@fredvStein Probably. I've heard people say they've either had or not had issues. Ideally, long-term users would report back on how their mags are holding up, so we can have an idea.

[@FitMagic]

Shots fired! 7:00 I wonder what he would have said about the P365X?

[@wildmanjeff42]

I think my stock original P365 no mods is my favorite gun. 365XL is awesome as well, fits my med glove sized hand perfect, but that original is almost always in my pocket.

[@Tuleyne]

I have the 365xl with the Wilson Combat grip module; it is stellar.

[@dtroy15]

Thanks for putting these videos together, James. I was a little worried when you started spinning things off from TFBTV but you keep delivering insightful and well-produced content.

[@gene081976]

I got 3x p365 platforms. Started with XL, but that was printing on me for CCW. Got a P365X tacops with manual safety but got a Wilson Combat P365 grip (not X/XL), added Holosun EPS and it’s my CCW. For XL, I got a threaded barrel for it, and Tyrant compensator and pro-ledge. Shot as well as I did on P229. Found I shoted P229 after 100 rounds when I’m fatigue (was legion and heavier), but my threaded XL was still shooting good. So had an idea to get XMacro Comp to Black Friday….BUT this is what I did, I swap grip modules with the XL. The XL essentially become to XMacro with no intergrated comp,but had true precision threaded barrel and add-on Tyrant Comp. The former XMacro-comp, became more like the Spectre with an XL grip plus pro-ledge gas pedal. Added another holosum EPS carry to the new spectre-like config. As far as shooting. The new XMacro-threaded comp shoots really well. The DIY spectre with intergrated comp shoots really close. I plan to CCW that at nights when I take the dog out for walks.

[@seanridner1385]

As some have pointed out, XL Wilson Combat grip module is the way to go. I topped mine off with an X Macro slide and it is 🤌 Edit: Also forgot Magguts follower and spring, having a 14+1 rather than a 12+1 makes the XL size a no brainer

[@BinaryPun]

100% agree. It's a complete game changer.

[@JNOSNOW]

I do xl with magguts and the icarus hybrid module

[@TrojanManSCP]

This is the complete and correct answer. Buy the Macro as the complete pistol. Get the Wilson XL grip. Use the factory Macro mags for range/training/reload and use a "12rd" with the magguts (to make 15) in the gun for carry. When sizing holsters for that, you want the XL compatible ones. The Wilson grip texture is aggressive - plan to wear an undershirt if you like the grip to press in against your torso. Do NOT get the "ported/comp" slide - it doesn't noticeably do anything to recoil, does make it noticeably louder/harsher, and you sacrifice a bit of accuracy with the shorter barrel. You want the 3.7" barrel. Last item, do note that if you get a Shield RMS-c (or many other optics), the correct thread and length screws are likely NOT provided. You cannot re-use the slide plate cover screws either, they'll only grab half a thread, if anything at all. The correct thread diameter and pitch is M3x0.5. Shield optics take a 12mm length and a countersunk head. Other models may need a different length or head style.

[@formerpilgrim4934]

I went all in with the 365. The non-ported XL slides have fantastic accuracy potential. Wilson module "fits my hand better", and helps speed things up on multiple target and Bill Drill stuff. Kinda feels weird to find a pistol that you're completely happy with. Every time I buy a new pistol now, it's just a different SKU of 365.

[@griff7749]

​@@TrojanManSCPYou're dead right. I had the XL for a while, then it went to my wife and I got the Macro tac-ops and a Wilson combat XL grip. Now I've got my old gun, plus a Macro, and my wife has an XL. So many options on the table with this platform

[@johnnysworthout1640]

Its a great gun, I go between my XL and my 632 airweight. Love both of them.

[@tacticalbt1023]

XL seems the most practical still

[@dariodipaola8445]

It definitely is all these years later for CCW. I’m a smaller guy so I appreciate a slim gun like my XDS, but the 365xl does it even better.

[@joebudde3302]

Started with the 365 Micro/MS and it is not suitable for a firm grip out of the box, added the Hogue rubber grip sleeve and experienced a noticeable improvement. Installed a Wilson XL grip and it is the best fit yet, at age 71 I experienced my best LEOSA qualification to date, I previously qualified with a full-size 9mm.

[@M1911jln]

I think the macro barrel and slide on the XL grip might be the best combination.

[@braydenkenney3313]

I have the WC xl module and my macro slide on it is amazing. Unfortunately I do have to get a different holster if I want to carry it that way.

[@griff7749]

I mean, that combination is literally an XL, not sure what you mean. Unless you mean porting, but I'd not choose porting for the macro

[@johndoe-ct7eb]

Thank you for thanking us. I have the XL and love it. Fits the hand like a glove and maybe the best feeling design I've ever felt in my hand.

[@Johnny_Cash_Flow]

Trick question: the correct answer is a 365 frame with a 365XL slide. Gives you maximum concealability with a longer sight radius and barrel.

[@AustinofDivebomb]

I do this as well as bought an XL grip module so I can make basically every variant.

[@blakebeaton5821]

I would go with a macro comp slide, so, you get optics ready and comp which helps with the shorter grip, and you can still use any size 365 mag (e.g. keep a 10 round in the gun and a 17 as a spare in a mag carrier).

[@domenik8339]

Now you can have virtually the same size and weight as a Glock 19, with 3 less rounds. I can't believe the amount of people who think that's an upgrade. Let me see if you're interested in a reverse mortgage next. 😂

[@justinhc123]

@@domenik8339any of these are far slimmer than the G19. Therefore for me it’s easier to conceal, plus feels better in the hand and easier to shoot. I’ll pass on the reverse mortgage. (G19 was my first. Still have it. Now it just sits in the truck and collects dust.)

[@Johnny_Cash_Flow]

@@domenik8339 Wow, a smug guy who is wrong on the internet. How original. Comparing my Glock 19 and my Sig 365+, we have the following results: Weight: Glock 1.5 lbs, Sig 1.2 lbs (with the attached Streamlight TLR-6 which I couldn't find a small enough allen wrench to take off, so I'm even giving you a few ounces - so it's likely about 1 lb, which is a third of the Glock weight less, for those of you paying attention) Length: Glock 7 inch, Sig 6.5 inch (with the XL slide as described in the original comment) Height: Glock 4 3/4 inch, Sig 4 3/4 inch (with the 12 round extended pinkie mag) Width: Glock just shy of 1 inch, Sig 3/4 inch (again, for those of you who aren't mathematically inclined, that's 1/4 less than the overall width of the Glock 19) So, you claimed that the Sig is the same size as a Glock 19. The results show you are wrong. You claimed that the Sig is the same weight as the Glock 19. The results show you are wrong. This simple test proves exactly what I said in my comment, that what I call the Sig 365+ gives maximum concealability with a longer sight radius and barrel. If you're going to talk out of your ass, it's best not to do it in public for the world to see.

[@uslawman1983]

Great comparisons, James. I have both the P365 and the XL and both have been so reliable and accurate that I don't feel a need to look at the other entries.

[@billmartin5709]

I just bought a Sig Macro X Tacops about 10 days ago. I put a little lube on the rails and went shooting. I added a Holosun EPS Carry before I ever fired a shot. I only have 150 rounds thru it but so far it has been great! I ordered a Tenicor Certum and it carries great!. I carried a Sig P365X before that for a year plus and loved the gun. BUT whats not to like with 17 rounds. Plus it comes with 4 mags. WOOHOO

[@gsitzkowitz]

You missed the p365-380. It’s clearly and by far the most shootable.

[@LockBarrelLounge]

Love my XL Spectre Comp, w/ Wilson Combat Grip Module. Holosun micro green dot. Super concealable, slim, yet big enough grip where it doesn't feel too small in hand. Very light, accurate, soft recoil for a micro 9. Sigs simply rock honestly.

[@Eric-kw1lu]

As a guy with small hands and a smaller frame, I got the original 365 and a T1C holster w/sidecar with the goal of carrying something as small as possible that I can still shoot well. I love it and I can shoot the smallest version very accurately if I am dry firing it regularly. The original is like tucking a deck of cards into your waistband.

[@KPHVAC]

I love my regular SIG P365. I switched to the XL grip to fit my hands. I would recommend going to the P365X so you have the option for a red dot.

[@ynotjf]

Long time 1911 guy, then 7 years of G19, then 5 years of P320 Romeo, finally last 3 years 365xl with Romeo Zero & Romeo Zero Pro. About 1100 rounds zero malfunctions, no issues with the optic and I shoot it better than any of the prior pistols. Old eyes love the reflex sights too..

[@bigcleatus11]

Rocking the 365 x. Hard to beat. All of them are great.

[@themechanic6117]

I have a p365X , it's retaining the small footprint with 12+1 capacity 👍

[@llewellinfelon]

You do great videos, thanks. I carry a P365 with 12 round mags. You get a “master grip” (pinky included), unparalleled accuracy and shootability within 10 yards and it’s the most cost effective of all of the choices. Most importantly, never forget how Sig price gouges its customers with their mag prices.

[@zacsdiyguns]

The macro mischief machine frame (17 round mag) with the 365x optic ready slide and a Herrington comp hc365 I believe. I'm telling ya it's amazing. Ditch the sig zero optic or whatever it came with.

[@jeffcarter8160]

This is exactly the information I’ve been looking for. I have carried the regular P3 65 for several years and always looking for something a little less snappy. I had my eye on the macro, but it is much bigger and I’m not a big guy so the XL seemsthe way to go.

[@commanderdonut]

I went from carrying a G19M to the XMacro Comp, got a EPS Carry for it; very pleased

[@dant4786]

I have a 365, 365X with holosun 507k and Xmacro with an EPS carry. They all have their place but the macro is the most carried. Easiest to shoot and still easy to carry.

[@mrmattie7]

How about the p365 x not the xl

[@anaveragehuman2937]

I have a XL Romeozero, my first optic, and it's a revelation; progressing from one eye closed and struggling to find the dot to both eyes open focused on target and dot is just there without trying.

[@TheFarGaurd]

The ones that shoot by themselves 😉

[@jacksonnra1856]

Retired the G26 after 15years. Sig 365x was first firearm to make me want to change. Was the same reason i bought the 26 in the first place.

[@jake9705]

James you recently floated the idea of more varied content like exercise and dieting tips, we accepted it, and still we have not seen it! 😤 As a long-time TFBtv fan and proud mailroom simp, I demand for New Years 2024 a video re-make of the "James Reeves Skinny Margarita." I need to drink away these holiday pounds 🍻

[@nmbr5ml]

I have the 'micro' with a red dot. I did have to shop around for a lower-profile red dot, but it disappears in a pocket holster in regular jeans. It fits a little running pack (that doesn't look like any gun would fit in it) and it means being not just minimally equipped, but pretty well equipped --all the time. It's pretty revolutionary.

[@alaskanstrat6618]

The best SIG is hands down the Glock 45 MOS , facts , fight me nerds !

[@DK-gy7ll]

You need to slap the micro slide on the XL frame and try it (basically what SIG calls the P365X). In my opinion it's the best combination.
