10 Things You Don't Know About The Sig P365 

The great thing about the p365 magazine design isn't that you get smaller grip length, it's the grip width that makes it so amazing. Single stack thickness with doublestack capacity

The amazing thing is that they created a grip that fits not only my big hands, but my wife's small hands. The ergonomics of the pistol works for all sizes and shapes. This is why we both carry one daily. Best carry gun ever, hands down!

You can only carry the P320 320 days per year.

Cool how people have finally come around to the p365. I don’t think Sig got a fair shake with this gun at first but they stood firm behind their product. Sig has got the best people working for them making them one of the most innovative and consumer-friendly companies.

I’ve been carrying it ever since some of your very first reviews on the gun 4 years ago. I’ve since went to a 365X w/ a Wilson Combat Grip and that was a huge game changer for me. The Wilson combat pairing on the XL Frame is hard to beat for 365 days a year carry. Thanks for another great vid man!

At age 69, there is something reassuring my anxiety, when I feel the polymer grip of my P365 inside my pocket, late at night when I get off from work. Thank you Sig Sauer!

P365 SAS here. Realized I hated the low profile fiberoptic sight on it and I used it like that for a year to be fair. Replaced with an adapter plate and red dot. No longer Sig“Anti-Snag” but is now a far more enjoyable and far quicker sighting pistol for me.

Thanks, this firearm has been my edc since my first carry permit. Thanks for your research & presentation.

The modularity is the thing for me. I bought the Wilson combat grip for my xl.

I did my research before I got my p365. Now you prove me I did choose wisely. I got because , I have small hands and like you said is lightweight, small handle and easy grip. One thing I did know was , I can put it in different frames. Great presentation.

The P365 XL is so good that it finally got me into the game of subcompact/microcompact carry pistols, as opposed to just awkwardly concealing full size pistols to take advantage of their tradtionally far better shootability. The XL at least in my hands, sacrifices *nothing* to a full size polymer pistol for EDC, while offering the advantage of better concealability and lighter weight. So yeah, I'd say it's a high water mark for the industry.

The ability to use aftermarket aluminum frame receivers on the P365 slides. Serialized trigger groups are awesome and Sig has led the way.

Very easy to carry, best grip for me has been the new Wilson Combat XL.

I added a Wilson grip frame with the tungsten inserts to my p365 and a straight trigger. It is noticeably heavier but still easy for everyday carry. This system helps manage the recoil. The p365 is my EDC gun, using both a tuckable IWB holster and an OSW holster depending on the season. Keep up the good work on your channel.

I love the Sig P365. I love the grips (like sandpaper), I love the night sites, and the reliability with ammo. I have a Shield Performance Center. The grip in the summer is slippery (not good). The Glock 19 was my go-to until I found this wonderful sidearm.

Hey Chris, the 15 rounder fits it as well. It looks a little goofy but shoots out just fine. When I go out, the 10 or 12 rd mag goes in and it goes IWB. As soon as I get home the 15 rd goes right back in and stays there until I go out again. EVERY TIME I shoot the little gun it brings a big, poop-eating grin to my face because it just should not do that! It SHOULD want to jump out of my hand, but it doesn't. It SHOULD not be as accurate as a mid-size pistol out to about 25-30 yds. It's just amazing---truly. I've found my carry answer, I hope everyone else finds theirs. Thanks man, keep up exactly what you're doing.

Can’t wait to pick up my xmacro this week!!! Second Sig but definitely impressed by their new lineup.

Just got my foid card and ordered a p365 as my first gun. Very excited and cant wait

I love your channel! Best gun channel on RU-vid hands down. Keep it up!

Just grabbed a 365 Spectre Comp. Absolutely love it. Such a great feeling and shooting pistol.

best site on the web for good honest gun information. thanks!

SAS stands for "Sig Anti-Snag". Meaning no sharp points or corners to catch on clothing for pocket carry etc. I have the P938 SAS and it is an outstanding pocket gun. I imagine the P365 SAS is also. Thanks for these great videos Chris.

Love my p365 XL added the Wilson combat grip frame with tungsten weight kit and it shoots like a dream! I also have the p365 for super conceal ability. Just awesome pistols in my opinion.

The base optics ready P365 with mag disconnect loaded chamber indicator and ambi thumb safety was just recently added to the CA 'safe handgun ' roster! I'm in the process of purchasing one now... Gotta wait 10 full days before I'm able to take possession of it... Great stuff as always Brother... Stay safe God Bless ✌️🇺🇲

I just ran across this video again and rewatched it. I have something to add. I recently moved away from my Glock 26 and to the the 365-380. Two reasons, I couldn’t find a comfortable way to carry the 26. With a spare tire all the way around my body holster carry was not happening. After much exhausting video review I found that a 9mm hollow point out of these short barrel guns generally won’t open when going through clothing because of lack of velocity. That being the case your not really giving up a lot going to the 380 in such a small gun. The 365/380 fits nicely in my pocket in its holster and you can just go on about your business. It’s been a real learning lesson dealing with what comprises you have to make to find a carry gun that works for you.

I love this gun got mine when I couldn't get a hell cat and I am in love with this gun hasn't jammed on me in over 400 rounds at the range, Also love the channel thanks for being honest. This is my go to channel when I see new guns you try out to see which fire arms are best.

Just FYI for anyone wanting a weapon light for the X Macro: I am running a TLR-8 on mine and it’s perfect. The front edge of the light only sticks out about ⅛” past the forward end of the slide/muzzle. Makes for a great EDC set-up. I already had a G19/23 soft-sided holster and it fits that very well.

I’ve got a P365, P365XL, and P365 XMacro. I love each one and all of them measure up to the hype!

I have the XL. I carry it everywhere I can. Most comfortable carry I’ve ever had other than a pocket ruger lol

Love my original P365 and my new Macro. The OG is great for summertime deep concealment but I’ve really enjoyed the lack of muzzle flip w/ the new Macro. Both are outstanding pistols and serve their purpose. Great vid, thanks!

Going to be buying myself a P365 Macro soon and cannot wait.

Great video! I just picked up a P365x two weeks ago, and I spent the weekend shooting it. I love the "slimness" of the grip. It fits my hands far more comfortably than my Glock 19, for example. This is very subjective, but I feel like the recoil/muzzle flip that I get on my P365x is a fair bit less than from my Glock 43X. I'm sure it's a combination of grip angle, grip width and bore axis, but I can shoot the P365x much more comfortably than any of my other 9MM compacts. In fact, to me, it feels like shooting my .380 Glock 42. Anyway, it's a great little gun, and I can't wait to start tinkering with it.

I love the P365 line of pistols. I have owned the regular 9mm p365 and a p365xl and I loved both. They both had benefits over one another. Just depends what you want and need in a carry pistol. The 365 line has any and all options for defensive carry. These guns are by fat my favorite carry piece.

Been carrying a p365x for 9 months now. I love the little gun. Purchased to replace glock 42 as a smaller carry but i shoot the p365 so much better that it is EDC for me now. I feel like the sig is more controllable than the glock even though its a 9mm. A buddy like mine so much he got the macro and ditched his glock 19. He also said no turning back.

The XL is my EDC.. just an amazing firearm, smooth shooter

Enjoyed the video. I've only had my XL for about a month now and I love it.

I have been carrying my p365 x macro for few weeks and I love itas a bigger fella it works very well for me personally. Thanks for the awesome content!!!

I bought a P365 XL with a Romeo 0 and immediately put a Streamlight TLR7 on it. Fantastic all around gun for home defense and for CC with 12+1 magazine. I agree that the 9mm can have a rather strong recoil not for everyone. Great video. Im big a fan of the channel!

Great video. Definitely making me think about it.

Great review with lots of cool info. On a personal note I would recommend against any "conceal carry" gun with cut-outs on the side or top of the slide above the barrel, that's a great way to fill your recoil spring/guide rod full of debris or dirt and cause a failure when your life could be on the line. I'm not referring to the macro as it's mostly out at the end of the slide, I'm referring to top and side cut-outs specifically on carry guns 💯

Always a good bit of info thank you.

I have a 365XL and love it.

They need to add this video to the sig website. Great review and details.

GREAT video! Very comprehensive analysis of the P365-I love mine and may purchase other frames to get those additional frames without buying another handgun.

I just picked 1 up. I love it. I used to IWB EDC a sp2022. Absolute nightmare. The o365 is so easy to carry

An interesting configuration for a 365 X-Macro is to add an LX slide and threaded barrel. There a number of aftermarket comps available for threaded barrels so rather than run just a thread protector on one of mine, a Herrington Arms single port comp was purchased and easily added to the upper. This comps effect is somewhat mild compared to others but I wanted to keep the gun as 'ammo agnostic' as possible and avoid having to fiddle with various recoil springs in order to cycle different loads without issues. The comp adds about an inch to overall length and combined with the X-Macro lower's picatinny rail adds a unique appearance. The only downside to all the configuration options is the amount of testing needed to ensure functionality. Although I trust this gun with the threaded barrel the comp is still an unknown.

The P365 is my everyday carry, it is small and lightweight but has very good capacity. It feels good in my hands, I can shoot it well and feel confident carrying it. I usually pocket carry it inside a pocket holster but I also have a IWB holster.

Love the shirt Chris , great video , love my P365, not crazy about the sig red dot that came with it.

Great video! As always 👍

I love the extended mag on the P365XL 💥💥💥

I definitely love my 365xl. I had to buy the macro grip afterwards because the xl grip was too small for me. I tried shooting the 365x macro with the ported slide. Just couldnt like it and felt the ports were very unnecessary. Its just 9mm afterall.

Interesting that many of us that have access to any type of pistol we could possibly want, are carrying a 365 variant.

Very interesting. Didn't know most of that. Thanks

The 365 is one I haven’t gotten around to shoot yet. I really like the spectra comp though.

One of the guys at the range was telling me about this yesterday because I was looking at an M&P and he said to check out the Sig. I had mentioned some models feel too short in my hand (I know it's personal preference) but he mentioned the different sizes. Funny that I came across this video today when I went to Google, it was the first one that came up. I'm taking a friend to the range this week so I may look into renting one to test it out.

Chris, the Allen County Sheriff's Department plain clothes Deputies in Indiana are also issued a P 365 as a duty sidearm since late 2018 early 2019. It is a perfect semi-auto replacement for a detectives special revolver for plain clothes officer concealment. Sig borrowed the idea of a serialized chassis system from Steyr and added their twists to it. My buddy has a Steyr M9 (patented 1999) with a removable fire group that he bought in 2002 which predates Sig's chassis system pistols the P250 (first release 2010), P320 (first release 2014), and P365 (first release 2017). Now it seems more and more companies are moving towards utilizing this technology. One of my favorite pistols that uses a chassis system is the Beretta APX series. I know the first gen APX had many people on the fence thanks to the futuristic movie prop like appearance, but it was a very ergonomically pleasing pistol to shoot and mitigated recoil far better than the Sig offering in my opinion. I love the sighting system of the Steyr M9 but it is much like the Glock in its grip angle which does not feel natural to me. That is not to say I cannot shoot it well because it is a tack driver but I much prefer the Beretta grip angle as it requires far less mechanical adaptation of my hold and point. I grew up shooting 1911s and steel framed hammer fired DA/SA pistols so my fundamentals and muscle memory are all steeped in the sweeping of manual thumb safeties and less of a wrist cant straight point and shoot mechanics. I have owned several fantastic pistols such as my Springfield GI 1911 45acp, Beretta 96 Centurion, CZ-75, CZ 40B, and a Rami 2075. I never warmed up to Glock's grip angle as it didn't feel natural so the Steyr falls into that same category but the trapezoidal sights are amazing.

I own the original 365 and 365XL. I noticed that the 365 with 12-round magazines has the same sized grip as the XL. (Just missing the beaver-tail.) So, I replaced the XL grip module with a 365 module and now can run both with either 10-round or 12-round magazines. Interchangeable magazines is very nice.

I have the SAS and love it. However, I modified the hell out of it. Wilson Combat XL grip module with tungsten rods, tungsten guide rod, lima laser, flat trigger. Shoots so much better if the extra weight doesn't bother you. The ported barrel does not bother me either.

Still carrying my P365 from September 2019. I have over 3000 round through it and it rocks. Just cant replace it. I carry with a 12 round mag and a backup 10. Might get a macro and replaced my P320 X compact for my bedside gun that my wife can use. Not selling the 320, just might become a range toy.

i have the standard 365 and the macro, i love them both so much. Macro is my edc now and feel extremely confident with the size and capacity and red dot if shit ever hits the fan. It's also much more fun to shoot than the standard 365 imo so that's a nice bonus.

Thanks for all the information, I’ve been told that Glock also has a low bore access, really doesn’t matter to me cause I prefer sig well before glock, just by choice. Thanks again

I guess on a leap year, I’ll have to carry something else the extra day.

Check out the Houge rubber grip if the p365 diameter feels to small. The extra "nubb" between the middle and ring finger assists in drawing the gun for me. I also had my holster made with a 20 degree angle to get the grip up a bit more because it is so small. 15 is more common.

My EDC is a P365XL. The only ones I didnt know were 6 and 10. honestly, I think I learned all the other 8 previously from your channel! Haha

Thank you for sharing

I carried my p365 in a galco, appendix style on a recent 2500 mile road trip and it was all but unnoticeable.

I really like the P365. Have an original, a 365XL and did have an SAS. The SAS shot 8-10” to the left at 7-10 yards and the sights are not adjustable. Got another slide, slide release, and takedown lever and turned into a P365. I have seen plenty of post from others who couldn’t get the SAS on target as well.

I bought a 43x and a 365 XL. To me it was a no brainer and the XL was my carry gun and got rid of the 43x. And now recently just got my hands on the XMacro and now that is my current carry. You have a gun ready to go out of the box, optic ready with night sights, decent trigger. And for a subcompact a flat shooter. It’s hard to beat

Hey Outlaw, Is that a Gas Pedal on one of those P365XLs you're shooting toward the end of the video? I love the Gas Pedal on my standard P365. Really helps wrench down on the gun. Anyways, love your videos!

I own both the P365XL and the P365SAS and I use various grips to change the pistols according to my carry needs. It’s a very versatile little pistol and I purchased mine in I’m thinking 2019 and there are numerous features that didn’t exist then like the 380 version and the X grip or even the Wilson grips. I’m having fun discovering different options. I’m also very accurate shooting the SAS and I like the ported barrel but I agree those sights even with practice aren’t perfect but I’ve become way better than I thought possible …on the range any 😅. I knew most if those things about the P365 because it was my very first handgun and I’ve spent a lotta time shooting and upgrading it the past few years. I’m pleased now after COVID you can actually get your hands on the kits and parts. I own other pistols but this one remains one of my favorites.

Great video and content

I heard that micro nines can be a bit snappy until I happened to shoot a P365. I was overly impressed on how well it shot. Additionally the optic battery that was on it happened to be dead, but I had zero issues shooting it accuracy using the iron sights. Not sure what elven magic was used by Sig, but it’s a fantastic firearm. I wasn’t aware of the X-Macro since I prefer a longer barrel length as it is better for me to carry concealed.

About the name of the P365, it always reminded me of the discontinued Taurus PT 24/7. I wonder if Sig got inspiration from there in terms of naming the gun.

Great review. I carry a P365 as my EDC with a holosun 407k X2 red dot. I got the TACPAC with (3) 12rd mags. I got the magguts mod to convert those 12rd mags to 14rd mags. Now I can carry 14+1 versus 12+1. It's a great gun.

I really like my 365XL. It’s my winter carry option here in the northeast. I’m also interested in trying the 365 in .380 at some point. You mentioned the Ruger LCP Max (again) in this video. Are you planning a review of it? I pocket carry it during the summer and love it.

I really like the P365XL--it was one of the first three pistols I bought when I started buying pistols a few years ago, based on a solid recommendation by a friend of my wife's (another was a P10S from CZ). My ONLY problem with the piece is that magazine changes are a bit challenging with my XXL hands. Yes, it's easy to conceal, especially since I'm not a tiny guy. Yes, it's thin as heck, which has the downside that it's hard to get enough of my hands on it to feel as good as I do with my CZ PCR. As a relatively-new pistol carrier, I've not been as mentally comfortable with carrying with a round in the chamber for striker-fired pistols, so I'm far happier with a DA/SA pistol like a P07 or a PCR, but the P365XL remains in the arsenal should I want a more subtle carry piece.

Love the XL with the dot and your shirt💪

There are other great guns out there, but man I love my Sig!

Love that I can get 17 rounds in my X-Macro without having to carry a spare mag if I choose not to. Don't have to worry about carrying a reload since I'm not carrying a small 7 or 8 round capacity CCW. I like that ability to just have it in the gun and make carrying a second mag an option instead of a necessity.

I just bought the 365 Tacops that has 4 magazines with it. Outstanding gun.

I picked up a p365xl with the Romeo zero pre-installed last year, but sadly I'm unable to shoot it due to an injury and heavy restrictions. Really hoping I'll be able to get on a range before winter ends.

I’d love to see you review the PSA JAKL 👍🏼

The p365 x is my favorite if the line up. Get the XL grip but the barrel length of the original p365.

🎉Thank you so much‼️

I bought my P365 after watching this video. I love your videos

Drop the Macro review! Is it knocking the shield plus out of its edc spot? What's up bro!? Been waiting for this lol

I do not own one ,, but i have looked at them. They look and feel like a very nice firearm. Thank you for the video.

One of the most interesting things about the 365 is the ability to interchange components. Having a couple 365 XL already i was considering the P320 - either the compact or the X-carry - the variant with the 3.9" barrel and 17rd magazine. Then the X-Marcro dropped. Although I dont believe you can swap barrel size on the Macro you can swap entire slide assemblies. With the Macro (or XM) I immediately realized I could put an XL slide and threaded barrel on the XM lower and have a gun that in some ways beats the X-carry. Same capacity but can be configured with a 4.25" threaded barrel versus the X-carry's 3.9 inch... in a slimmer easier to conceal form factor. Of course the XM can be carried stock, or can even be set up with the XM upper on an XL lower for a shorter grip albeit wth only 12+1 capacity. This interchange capability opens up some interesting options both now and in the future.

I picked up the NRA edition P365XL about 4 years ago and was blown away by it. It has accuracy and stability as good or better than many full size pistols. It has proven to be amazingly reliable. The addition of the X-Macro takes that to a new level.

I love the P365. It's such an amazing pistol with so many features for a tiny EDC option. In the future I hope Sig releases an optics ready variant of the standard P365 and also update the X/XL models to have the newer optics system too (like the ones on the .380 version or all the newer P365). Maybe for a Gen 2 Sig can release a large grip frame as well like they do for the larger P320 series. The standard grip just feels too thin and doesn't fill out my hands as well. The Wilson Combat grip module fills out my hand so much better (and adding hogue grips on top of that makes it perfect).

Hello from Mt.Pleasant. in Iowa . Great video as always. Thank You.

Currently running the standard 365 & switch out between the 15rd & 12rd mag. Gonna grab that Macro X next tho!

Thanks for the video i currently carry a sig 1911 but it is heavy and sometimes to big so i was looking for something different and i liked the p365 and think i might get one

I carry the 365XL Nra edition (because I love FDE) If they ever do an FDE version of the spectre or macro I'd def pick one of those up

I have the Sig p250 on the X5 grip module, just purchased the P365 Rose for my wife. That thing is NICE! Getting the Romeo red dot for her next

I own a few too many P365s. My carry is currently an SAS comp which I feel has better function than the Spectre comp I bought and immediately returned to the FFL to resell. The cheesy TiN finish looks like junk jewelry from the Orient pretty quickly. Have you tried/reviewed the MagGuts spring upgrades for the 10 & 12 round magazines? I bought one of each for the mags I carry with the SAS. 12+1 flush & 14+1 in the original 12rd with form matching grip extension. Very good stuff that adds a consider % capacity improvement over the factory setup. As always, I enjoy your content a bit too much for my cellular data plan, but it's all good!

Sig guy checking in awesome video !!!!

10 things you didn't know about the p365. 1. The thing that literally every single person knows.

I love my 365xl, also have the similar Glock 43x, but I'll choose the sig all day every day.
