I'm a petite asian woman (5' 3", 115lbs). I have been shooting with a friend who runs a Glock 19. I can handle it alright, but it's like a brick on me and wouldn't work for a ccw. After many videos and reading through comments sections from others, I must say, your's very easily helped me make the decision. Thank you for the straightforward and very informative video!

Trigger feels nice too.

[@abc-wv4in]

Another great review; thanks! The porting on a small carry pistol is a deal breaker for some of us because of the gases and flash at close quarters. The original, but with a 12-rd magazine for a reload, still looks like the winner; wish Sig would include a 12-rounder in the box.

[@imnew2nm324]

Lots of Yo8utube reviews on the ported barrel, none that I have seen show this as any actual issue, not even when fired in a closed car.

I own that one. Not an issue Never had to shoot someone & never had to shoot near my face Someone did a review to test the ports and it was minimal “waste” being spurt out t

[@thomasdahlgren1985]

Seemed to me the difference in the trigger pull was related to the location of the gauge on the trigger more than any real difference in the internals. On the SAS, the curved trigger kept the gauge closer to the fulcrum, while with the flat faced trigger it wanted to slide down to the very tip. And actually did on the first go round - giving the lightest result of all three tries. Which makes total sense - longer lever arms really do provide mechanical advantage. Which might matter if you practice to keep your trigger finger at the very end of the trigger, but then the slightly lighter pull also comes at the disadvantage of the longest trigger throw. IMO they were really a wash and it comes down to personal preference over which trigger shape you like (personally I do like that of the XL.)

[@IdahoGunGuy]

Very nice review - one of the better ones I have seen - great job!

Thank you so much! Excellent review!!!

[@Ranger42]

This video answered all my Qs regarding the varieties. TY

[@TheTitaniumSkull]

Got the latest ones as of 2021. XL+RDS and SAS. I prefer the SAS because for me the green dot is always in front of my eye every time. The XL+RDS not so good, even though I try to focus on sight notch first and then look for the dot I find myself spending more time with the RDS.

[@matthewameel1741]

Thank you for this comment. First time gun buyer and I'm a little conflicted about whether the sights will set me up for difficulty when/if I decide to purchase more guns and are used to the SAS sights. But hearing ppl say they are good from the CC perspective for quick acquisition like they're supposed to makes me feel better about going for the SAS over any RDS ready sig.

[@robertharing7031]

I bought the 365xl with a Romeo and I added a Hogue handgrip and I bought a 15 round mag to keep in the car because it is a little uncomfortable compared to the 12 round mags but I really enjoy carrying it everywhere I go and when I do open carry with my G-17 I still conceal my Sig I highly recommend anyone looking for a sub compact to look into any of them including the newest one not shown because it wasn’t released yet

[@kennethwood8174]

I've just started looking at Handguns for home defense, and later when I'm comfortable with it, concealed carry. I've watched several P 365 xl reviews and I noticed a couple other differences that you didn't mention and thought I'd pass them on for your viewers. I was told the mag receiver is slightly flared for easier mag insertion, and the slide has a longer sloped bevel at the front for less snag also. The xl also fits the 365 sig open ended holster, but will obviously stick out the open end.

[@jpjp3873]

Well, are you part of the ccw club yet?

[@Thilindel]

So the SAS version can use that 15 magazine? I hope so that'd be cool. It makes it a 15+1? I'm totally new and looking for a gun that's small - this seems to be a great size considering that capacity.

[@DonyaLane]

What a GREAT comparison review! This was so helpful. I am a long-time handgun enthusiast, but I never got my concealed carry license. In the process of applying for it only now... As a woman, I'm concerned about how well I will be able to conceal things. Lots of my wardrobe is light colored and sheer fabrics, so I am considering purchasing a sand or coyote colored firearm (and holsters/bands, etc.), because that may help it to blend into my skin tone underneath my clothing. Any thoughts about that? Also, I am on the fence about whether or not I will want to carry something without a safety. I know, I know...train and use a good holster protecting the trigger guard; essential in this configuration. But as someone who has only practiced with safeties at the range, I'm just feeling hesitant. But I am willing to train with whatever I do choose to carry (I'm also considering the Walther PPS [another one with no safety] and the Sig 320 compact). Any suggestions or opinions on any of the above??? Thanks!

[@deathtdow]

From experience both the p365 sas and p320 compact would be good choices, the compact has slightly less recoil but is a fair bit bigger, and the p365 sas isn't a snappy gun it's pleasant to shoot... that said as the p365 sas is my gun I'm probably a little biased.

[@davidwilson5581]

I have the 365, 365XL, and the SAS slide and I mix and match depending on what I’m wearing. I also have the 320X Compact which is a great pistol but much harder to conceal than any of the 365’s. Summer I carry one of my 365’s. As soon as it cools off it’s either the 320 or I love my P229 Legion. It’s the Rolls Royce of hand guns if you ask me.. Go out and shoot them all and see what you think?

[@sammiches6859]

They make an overpriced NRA 365/365 XL that comes in coyote. Comes with 3 mags too.

[@DonyaLane]

@@sammiches6859 , I've seen that NRA coyote edition, and I like it! Maybe I'll be able to pick one up when I have a little extra cash. Of course, I could always Ceracoat or Duracoat any gun to blend in!

[@DonyaLane]

@@davidwilson5581 , not sure why I only gave your comment a LIKE but never replied to you. Since I posted my original comment, I bought my CCW, and it ended up NOT being the Sig P365 (hard to believe, considering that I had invested LITERALLY hundreds of hours of research and auditioning various guns). But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't snag a P365, for the life of me, thanks to 2020 madness! On some websites, I would actually find one, and by the time I hit BUY NOW, it would be sold right out from under me! So, I decided to go with a runner-up that I was ACTUALLY able to get my hands on: the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 2.0. I figured it was better to have SOMETHING, rather than nothing. I like it, though, I did need to file down some sharp edges on the frame around the thumb safety and the slide lock. It is also EXTREMELY hard to rack the slide (now I know why they made an EZ model). But I have not been able to carry it on my body, due to my wardrobe. So, I keep it in a CCW crossbody purse. That is still an issue for me.

Firing pin drag is just a part of the "mini" 9mm be it Sig, S&W, Springfield, etc. Sig had .05% fire pin (as of quantities sold mid 2019) that weren't properly heat treated so it broke. It's been corrected of course.

I would like the XL a lot better if they went with the curved trigger instead of the straight one. If I bought one I would be buying a curved trigger to swap out the for straight one.

[@jambajoby32]

imnew2nm it really forces you to have correct technique After dry firing I realize I do move my pistol when firing & that is exaggerated on the target. Also finger placement on trigger needs to be reviewed and re aligned. I used the crook in my first knuckle to shoot but I adjusted to use the finger pad and that helped tremendously with accuracy! I’m coming from a Bersa Thunder .380 When dialed in, it’s easy to get on target & when not warmed up(dialed in) , been accurate still but no real sense of groupings but still on target
