Sig P365 XMacro Gun Review 

I’ve been carrying for almost thirty years. I picked this up and put it through its paces. It carries well and is very accurate. As a combat piece, this fits the bill. I’ve carried just about everything on duty and off. This gun sits at the top of my list.

The Sig P365 XMacro checks off a lot of boxes. It is a micro compact, 17 round magazine, optics ready, and has a comp. I want one.

I like that you actually review the specs of the gun and not just giving a biased opinion, thank you.

I can watch that intro about 1000 times a week. I love watching that thing shoot.

I bought the frame and 3 magazines and put it on my xl. I sent my slide and barrel to magnaport and had them work their magic. With the x macro frame I finally have a gun I like.

Your reviews never dissapoint Sootch00!

I literally just came to see if Sootch did a review of the Macro and it just posted an hour ago. Crazy. I ordered mine. Been carrying a Walther Q5 match polymer. So much smaller with more rounds. Can’t complain. Great review!

This gun just feels great in my hand. Like 1911 great. And that’s saying something.

I work private security and originally, I was a field officer and carried a Springfield Armory XDm Elite OSP. Now that I'm working in management for the company, I don't need a full size service weapon since I'm not a field officer anymore. This pistol intrigued me, as it's the same payload as a Glock 17, but much smaller for office/concealed carry with the same light bearing and red dot mounting as my XDm. I finally got my hands on one and fell in love, traded my Springfield in on the spot. Can't wait to take it to the range. What I like about this pistol is that it can do triple duty, big enough capacity for home defense or as a service weapon for the odd time I may need to be on a site that requires an armed officer, small enough to be concealed easily. Definitely fits the bill for many things.

I've always carried 1 less than the Magazine's full capacity because I'm old School and it works

And yet another outstanding review. A huge thank you for sharing. Your site has become my bible for purchasing handguns.

I just got my XMacro a couple days ago. I'll be shooting it here soon but I already love the feel of this gun. Conceal carry will be nice with this gun.

Great review as always. Sit needs to ramp up production. Loved the thorough review

Been waiting for you to do this review! Looks like a great pistol!

My X Macro upper is showing up tomorrow. I have small hands and can’t wait to have the longer slide on my P365 frame. 👍🏻 thanks for the video. Great work as always. 😊

Was familiar with the original P365 when it first came out, but decided to buy the Walther PPS M2 instead. 4-5 years ago, Walther, & its trigger was the right carry decision at the time. Fast forward today, & was browsing the local gun store, & came across the P365 XMacro. Wasn’t planning on buying anything (story of my life), but as soon I saw it, I had to have it. Immediately took the holstered Walther off my belt, handed it to the sales associate, & traded it towards the Sig. Own 3 handguns (VP9, USP Expert, & a 75 Czhechmate) that I consider un-tradable, & the new XMacro makes 4. Compared to HK, & Walther’s triggers this one might take a little bit more time to get used to, but no problems….Wouldn’t call the trigger inferior, just different. That said, the P365 XMacro might be one of the finest out of the box (no upgrades required) firearm’s I’ve ever purchased. When holstered in its Vedder, it sits just as well as the slightly smaller, single stack, 8 round capacity Walther PPS M2, but shoots like a full size. Ultra concealable, & with a 17+1 capacity makes the P365 XMacro an absolute masterpiece of engineering. 🍻 to Sig!!

Sig does it again! 17 rounds in a small gun. Amazing! I love my P365xl. 12 rounds 👍

Great review as always. This is what the XL should have been from the start. I’ve had an XL since the start of the year and liked it. Then came the Macro and I was able to get a Macro frame and slapped it on the XL and now LOVE it. Now just need to find the XL slide that doesn’t lose the rear sight. 😎

I am at the point of making a decision on my next purchase, this review has helped immensely. Thank you!

I went with the non comped x-macro. I wanted the extra barrel length. And more sight radius and length out front, as well as not wanting the muzzle blast in clise quarters.

It is a great pistol without a doubt! Performs and shoots like a full size, yet just small enough to conceal well.

Great review thanks enjoyed love the out takes too

I'm a Glock guy. I never had the desire to purchase another manufactures weapon. That being said, I bought a xmacro four months ago lol.

Great review as always Sootch! Holster companies are really having a tough time keeping up with all the new firearms recently! Stay safe God Bless ✌️🇺🇲

Soooo glad you reviewed this finally. For some reason I didn't get this notification or any lately from your channel. This gun is the best Gun Sig has for EDC in my Opinion . It's so smooth and a sexy Gun. Thank you Sootch. Hope you do a review on a Langdon Beretta LTT

I had the same malfunction first time shooting it. Right out of the box. I noticed it was very dirty afterwards. One time only. It had Some yellow foreign material that I later found in my mag that blocked the follower from keeping the slide open. Never malfunctioned again and once I lightly cleaned the mag all was well. Great gun. I bought the Foxtrot2 light for it with the Holosun 407k green dot. I love the entire set up. Had to buy 2 more mags only to find out they released the Tac ops!!

I like your videos sir. U always shows the performance of the gun in rapid firing.

X macro frame on my xl slide is how I'm running mine. Love it.

Awesome gun there sootch00 thanks for sharing

The new king of carry. Bought mine a week after they came out and it’s been amazing

Been wondering when Sootch was going to get around to this one. Top of the range review as always 💪🏼🇺🇸 I tested one at my local dealers I was also impressed by its ergonomics and it's shootability Particularly on 3-5rds bursts Shoots flat and consistent if you do your part

First handgun I've ever shot, a few weeks ago. Out of all the ones I handled and dry fires, that one was the most comfortable to hold, but I have only fired this one so far. Going to go back soon and try others.

Love my Icarus grip…I have the macro and 4 others from them that make old guns feel fun again!

Excellent presentation. I practiced with this recently and I preferred it over my 365XL.

Thanks Sootch! I've been eyeballing this gun for a while. Gonna be my next carry gun. Assuming I can find one..

Keep up the great work sir!

One of the best guntubers

Great review as always..sig always does a great job with their firearms. I am a p938 carry guy and this looks like a great alternative for sure

the best thing about the macro is if the grip is too long, you can swap it with the XL or the 365 grip if you've got the mags to match.

The porting makes the Macro so Easy to shoot its fantastic!!

little late to the macro party but just picked mine up yesterday. super stoked! been eyeing it for a while

Glock guy here..Sig is just innovating like crazy lately. I’m not familiar with gun sale stats, but it seems if this keeps up, Sig will take over every handgun market in which it directly competes with glock.

yeah, I have trouble racking the slide when loading a full magazine. trigger has something to be desired too. fairly happy with it so far, though it's kinda new. no malfunctions yet and have been trying all kinds of different ammo.

This is exactly the review I wanted. I liked the 365 but was leaning towards the 320 compact. I heard about the XMacro and thought it sounded good but really wanted a side by side with the p320 because on paper the macro is really exceptional. This was a great review and I think I’ll be picking up the Macro as my do it all gun. Thanks so much. Your detail on the 1911 thin grip was really interesting.

🔥🔥🔥🔥 looks nice. I'm carrying the 30 super carry ez shield. Love it so far

Awesome review. I've looked at this but always end up getting something else.

This is an excellent video

just shot my new x macro. after years of shooting my p365 this is really sweet. recoil hardly noticeable, shoots and handles great

This gun just runs so well.

I love the comparison in this video I EDC an xl but after watching this I just ordered a macro grip module and 4 mags I won't have the comp but I'll still have my threaded barrel

This man used to carry the Glock 26 for years. So, for him to move From the Glock 26 and choose the P365XL/p365 over The Glock 43 X /MOS. Is a strong statement for SIG. I myself went with the Hellcat and could not be happier with my decision. I now own the 11, 13, 14 and 15 round magazines. Small size lot of capacity in the free states. And I'm very accurate with the hellcat.

@sootch00 thanks for this review, per usual, awesome attention to detail. Made my recent xmacro purchase, a confident decision.

I am a big fan. TY 😎 🇺🇸

Great video, thanks

I've always carried H&k I went to a gun show and was browsing and saw the p365 xmacro once it was in my hands everything changed I now have a new edc

I just picked up my P365 X Macro last week but I got the longer barrel (3.7) and not the compensator which has a 3.1" (a good shooter doesn't need a compensator - I'm more in favor of the longer barrel for better accuracy). I'm going to install a green laser and this will be my daily conceal. I love it!!!

Nobody is making better guns then Sig right now

I just saw this at Brownells, yesterday. I almost took it home but wanted to hear reviews. I intend to get it, next week.

I've purchased mine for a good price and I'm looking forward to trying it out at the range this week. The slide does seem rather stiff but I've heard it will smooth out after a few 100 rounds through it

Damn!.....Sootch is flexin hard in this video!

Wasn't impressed with the XMacro trigger so I installed an MCarbo trigger and it helped tremendously. It takes awhile to install but the installation video they linked to in the instructions helped greatly. I'm a Glock armorer and this was a different animal. I am really pleased now with my 365x macro but I'll still keep my Glock mdl. 22 and 19X.

I OWN THE MACRO AND ITS GREAT!! I also have Glocks that I really like too. BUT the Macro is a FABULOUS weapon!!

I love mine, first gun purchased, and i want a 2nd one for home defense

I freaking love mine! I picked one up last month and I love it it's got every feature I want right out of the box unlike a certain Austrian firearm I like but have to modify to get all the features I want.

The new 24 round baseplate for Xmacro is a great backup option.

Best new gun in YEARS, it's still new , but so far it's pretty awesome. It looks like you're shooting 380 on video. But they are $900 ouch ! But it's great !

Hey, nice use of the gun shots in sink with background score. Well done.

If I didn’t live in a Magazine limit state I would definitely change to that over my 365. I love my 365 and it’s on me most every day unless I want to go up in size with heavier clothing. It’s hard to beat the 365 , don’t even know you are carrying it, and I carry appendix. Nice review!

Been eyeing this one for a while, hopefully I’ll convince the old lady

I just put my XL guts and slide in the Macro grip module. Took me a week to locate a mag. But this frankengun rocks. Man it’s accurate. No I don’t have the porting but I really don’t care. I’ve owned ported pistols in the past and eventually sold them. After all it’s a 9mm, not like it has horrendous recoil.

thanks

I'm looking at my next pistol...I have a P320 now.

Great review as always sir!

Love mine !!

Awesome videos

Very well made

Thanks for another great vid! Some questions: -Would you find the vents at the top of the compensated slide would give your face blow-back if used up close? -Had you experienced any other failures since this vid was made?

its a great gun, been carry for months... that being said still not used used to sandpaper grip on my tummy lol...

The Tac ops verison in my opinion in the best of the best of these... It ✔️ all of my boxes... Everything a Glock 19 can do... But it's an inch thick... And you get 2 more rounds in a flush mag Absolutely great job my Sig. This is my next gun.

This is my first purchase really like the gun, racking is a little stiff...😊😊😊

Whoever has the P365 XL just has to buy the XMacro grip and magazine module and that's it, the difference in recoil isn't much, it's just practicing with the weapon every time you can... if you watch videos of shooters like Sootch00 you'll be able to see Keep in mind that with any weapon they are efficient, that is, practice, practice, practice.............

My 43x is way snappier then my 365xl. Out of the box the accuracy is great from my sig. My 43x at 7 yards shots 10 inches to the left but it groups up ok. Time to change the sights I think 🤔 ordered a macro grip module and mags to throw my xl slide and barrel on. Going to give that a try.

I’m a Glock guy and have carried a duty 22 .40 cal to the 19 9mm and used it as my backup and off duty weapon. Then I bought the 43 X MOS and put raised sights and an optic. Then I made it capable to carry the shield 15 round mags. My former Captain introduced me to the Sig SAUER X Macro. I bought it with the Romeo optic and raised sights. It only comes with 2 17 round mags. It has three back straps. So all in I spent $800.00 for it as is. But the Romeo sight is not easy to adjust so Sig offered a Romeo optic with up down button on the side of the optic which is much easier to use. But that was an additional $200.00 from Sig directly. Then a third 17 round mag was $60.00 directly from Sig. then another $110.00 for a holster and two mag pouch. So all in $1,170. That’s a big number when I compared an all in price of my Glock 43 X MOS just under $700.00 but that’s five mags. Two 10 round with the pistol and 3 15 round mags from Shield Arms. They were 25.00 each. Now, I hear, they are making a 17 round mag for the Glock. I’m retired and can afford the indulgence but is it worth the price difference? I can’t say just yet because I haven’t had it long enough and the honeymoon period isn’t over. Both need work on the trigger but either way both pistols are great unmodified.

I have shot both the Hellcat Pro and Macro at my local range. IMO it is no contest. I would take the Macro every time.

Shake fire! It's new, it's cool! Just point and shake! Cones with insta rust !

These are nice. To big for me to carry. I would love one. The price is going to have me waiting for a while. This is fine by me. I know several friends that went out and bought a new Sig modlel. I am sensing buyers remorse. I am not going to say which one. You can figure it out on your own. I am sure there are people that are still happy.

Can you do a comparisons vs the XL? Also could you do a comparison on the X-Macro grip with its slide vs having the xl slide on it. I think that would highlight if there is a actual difference with the comp. I’d love to see it, thanks for the video!

Hellva intro 😎👍

Sold my g43x MOS for this setup. Zero regrets. This is what glock wants to be when they grow up and that's coming from a glock fanboy.

Good luck getting all 17 in the mag!

When Sig offers it without the comp slide, I'll buy one. I would also like more stipple higher up on the grip.

got a 365 XL, macro came out and loved it but didn't get it. recently picked up a few 17 round mags and the macro grip module and use it with the XL slide (game changer"

Live Free or Die, Welcome to New Hampshire SIG .👍

Perfection

Love mine so far had about 2 months or real close

I bought my wife one for her birthday. She likes it. I would get one for myself if they offered it with the standard 365 XL slide. Since they don't offer that, I will probably get the XL and replace the frame as its a $75 upgrade. I could then turn around and sell the XL frame and magazines to recoup some of the cost. :D

I'm gonna wait until Sig Spectre comps this gun up in their custom shop, and I hope that happens very soon.

Btw, I dig your intro music...

Being a Glock owner since 2004, I can't get used to the grip angle on the SIGs. So vertical that they cause me to shoot low. Such a quality handgun should offer grip options.

It took me a while to finally understand that $800 isn't robbery. It's just a tad bit high. Actually $700 may have been a deal to me so it seems about $50 overpriced. Throw me a total of 3 mags in the deal and I'm happy with it. A full rail full sized gun with built in comp that is simple and works.. and it still conceals very well. I don't question it anymore and carry it always. It's just reliable.. I stopped shooting it after a few hundred rounds of my carry ammo. It's the only gun I haven't done anything to because it doesn't need anything done to it. I would change the sights to a hold I'm more used to if I wanted to target shoot with it, but I don't want to target shoot with it. Short barrel and louder than necessary, none of which is an issue in self defense at close range.
