P365 X-Macro, Or P365 AXG legion. is one really better than the other?

The great thing about the EDC pistol market is that there is something for everyone. Take the P365 Macro for example, we have 2 variants of the same pistol. Both pistols are pretty much the same minus some badging and an aluminum grip module. Is one better than the other?

[@BanditApache-nd6lu]

I own all three variants of the X-MACRO. I also own four different Legion models and calibers. Normally I don’t believe the bs. But, I can honestly say, the Legion series including the AXG P-365 are top tier.

[@traitorhatergetarope3163]

Great video as usual Brother! Thank you for your commitment to the community

Not a fair comparison, the legion is tricked out. Glad he said something, flashlights reduce muzzle flip and red dots obviously help. Also, this video should've been half the length, that's a lot of unnecessary bull crap.

[@rdrgear]

2oz flashlight helps with muzzle rise and recoil. Lmao.

[@matthewwise3360]

You say that like its negligible. It's almost 10 percent of the weight of the polymer model, even more with a battery seeing as how you've mentioned the weight of a battery-less light. Its also a variable you've not kept common between the two.

[@rdrgear]

@@matthewwise3360 you honestly think a weapon light is making a difference in muzzle rise.

[@matthewwise3360]

​Yes, both from a weight standpoint (it's called inertia) and from the standpoint of being a spot to put your support thumb (like a gas pedal).They literally sell weights for this purpose, what's the debate here?@@rdrgear

[@matthewwise3360]

Being a believer in physics and conservation of energy, I do. You are forcing the roughly 355 ft/lbs of most 9mm rounds to exert a rearwards, upwards, and rotational force on a gun that is now 10 percent heavier with that additional weight being far from the center of gravity. Why is this hard?

[@Jestrada2267]

The trigger on the macro probably has a much higher round count than the axg Sig just sent you. I’d switch the fcu and see how much that’s makes a difference. I’d also put the eps and tlr-7 sub back on to compare apples to apples.

[@jclark7243]

You always know the answer of what gun the host thinks is better when one has a light and red dot and the other has nothing.

[@keithz156]

Pretty sure they have the same trigger. X-macro probably just more broken in 🤷‍♂️

Your exactly right, the axg never got the legion series trigger because sig knew lots of people would carry it, they didnt want people ND’ing and making sig look bad because of a lighter trigger😂

The AXG fits in my hand like a mold! It’s incredible for what it is.

The shoe reference was actually very helpful! It’s like comparing To Boot New York or Magnanni $400 dress shoes to Cole Haan $200 dress shoes.

[@WHEELGUNNER1]

I thought the whole idea of the P365 was to be the smallest, most concealable 9mm. Why does it keep getting larger, while the P320 keeps getting smaller?

[@Mike-ox1bu]

Probably because the 365 accomplished it's objective and moved on to capitalize on it's popularity. Sig couldn't go smaller so it obviously went larger and is killin it in the market. Great marketing..... Very smart people over there at SIg.

[@iaidokaDVILL]

The P365 X-Macro with the small backstrap fits my hand like a glove. I don't have large size hands. In fact, every 9MM pistol I've tried, it was never a perfect fit for my hand size. With the X-Macro, that's no longer an issue.

[@wisco_guy]

The P365 series is what the P320 should have been. Sig basically took the slow-selling P250 and changed it to a striker-fired system. There’s a blurring of the lines with the P365 Macro and P320 compact. Other than width, they’re the same size.

[@Mike-ox1bu]

​I feel like it's more than just a cosmetic upgrade... The "gas pedals" thumb rest and the overall ergonomics are a huge enhancement for mitigating recoil.

[@XrayMike17plus1]

The 'problem' is that the X-Macro Comp came out first. So now we have two nearly identical guns with the primary difference between them being the AXG or alloy grip module. Would I buy a 365 AXG Legion to get the AXG grip module? Absolutely not. IMO, the best bang for the buck is the Wilson Combat X-Macro grip module with the tungsten weight kit for under $100 for both - if you already have an X-Macro. I will, however, consider buying an AXG grip module if Sig ever releases an AXG grip module for the Macro series... but preferably in coyote brown.

[@THEVCDL]

Since you prefer the trigger on the X-Macro, why not swap the two trigger groups, putting the better trigger in the better gun?

[@rdrgear]

@@THEVCDL not a huge deal to be honest. I just don’t really need to, it’s carry gun. If I do have to use it. The distance that I would most likely use it. The trigger won’t be an issue.

@@rdrgear Sorry, I wasn't clear. What I meant to say is that the X Macro non-comp (which has the 3.7" barrel) has a greater sight radius than the X Macro comp (which has the 3.1" barrel), and greater sight radius means it's easier to acquire the target.

[@rdrgear]

@@Philmoscowitz no longer barrels have nothing to with getting on target. It’s an edc pistol the longer barrel is irrelevant. If anything the comp barrel will perform better, with helping to reduce the muzzle rise. Hence more rounds on target. However a proper grip and trigger press does this as well.
