My son shoots a highly tricked out X-Macro Comp that I built for him for USPSA. He has very small hands and has difficulty holding the larger frame race guns. I used the Icarus Precision grip module, mcarbo trigger and mag release, SLR mag extensions, a ballistic advantage barrel, and I milled the slide to accept the Holosun Comp (big window) GDS. I'm working on a charging lever to put in place of the rear sight to assist with faster charging. I had heard about the rusting issues so I went ahead and Cerakoted the entire gun and all of the mags. No problem now. He has never had an issue with flash from the comp, even in low light shoots. I get the theory that the flash is going up however it doesn't effect his shooting one bit and he's a majority double alpha shooter for the most part. As for reliability he has about 7000 rounds through it and countless dryfire and (cool fire trainer) trigger pulls and so far so good with no issues. Because of the comp he's automatically in the Open Division so I'm trying to do everything I can to "race gun" this little Sig. He's currently ranked in B class but has been throwing some consistent A Class times down so it won't be much longer until he ranks up. Oh, and I forgot to mention, He's only 9 years old.
Sig is by far not my favorite. But the 365 series cannot be beat in my opinion because of their size to capacity ratio. I have a standard X-Macro and the standard P365, replaced all the modules and also got an XL module. Now I can make 5 firearms while owning 2. I love glocks but they are really missing the mark on carry guns. The 43X is not bad but I can almost double the capacity with the X-Macro and it’s more comfortable than a 19 with better capacity. And I agree very much with you on the factory mag issue in regards to the shield arms mags.
@@spnfirearms Geez...sorry. Was honestly just trying to be helpful and ensure that the product is properly represented...I sorta have a dog in the fight when it's a Sig product. I will refrain from comments in the future...good luck with the reviews.
Sigs are amazing. I have the comp version as my EDC. Shoots well, great capacity, low recoil. My finish is fine, haven't had problems with it. Had it 2 years. It's stock, but want to get a magwell.
Every time I go to AC website they are out of everything that I want! It’s been like that for months now c’mon guys get it together already. Another great video my man!
Sig sauers customer service is basically nonexistent you get is a voice message asking for your name and phone number. Why? I don't know because they will not return your call.i found out this after leaving 3 messages which included my phone number
Those chunk ports are fine for longer barreled guns, 4”+. The exhaust gases are further away from the optic. V ports may be better for a smaller gun. Also, if you shoot from retention in a defensive encounter, those gases can literally blow up into your face.
I watch a lot of your videos and this is the first time I call bullshit. This is not an actual Tacops. This is an old XL slide on a macro frame and you actually complained about the finish. It's an old slide, of course the finish is worn. You complained about the barrel and I would guess the barrel is old too. All newer P365 slides you don't lose the rear sights when you remove the optic plate. I also wouldn't be shocked if that's an old P365 FCU. Sig also makes a magwell for the Macro frame that's probably more affordable than the Tyrant one. Just a little honesty can go a long way. Just saying.
Also there are no flames blocking your vision while shooting. Carbon cloud sure but nothing that's hovering and impeding target sight. That was also a little much.
Acting like it’s a new/newish tacops when in reality it’s old 365 xl slide and barrel and then saying the finish is trash is a straight okie doke. That’s the exact reason people say this dude hates on sig lol…….he did that on purpose so he could say the finish isn’t good. Typical Glock nut rider behavior.
interesting how that you're trying pass that off as if it was purchased as a Xmacro. But from what i can tell that is a macro grip with an old XL slide. How I can tell is Sig didn't offer the Xmacro until after they changed their optics cuts on all their pistols. that slide has the old optics cut that took off the rear sights. the new cut keeps the rear sights on. Also I own a non comped macro and the slide only has the X notation on it not XL. I hope whoever you bought it from disclosed all that to ya. if not you bought a franken macro passed off as a OTB macro.
This is why I can’t stand sig. the people that back them and represent them. It’s no different than the tac ops other than the slide cut. So stupid lmao. I will never carry a sig after 2 of my 4 p365 variants have been unreliable. I will also not carry them due to how the people who carry them represent them
I don't see why a 45 degree port wouldn't blind you, but straight up and down ports would blind you. They flash is still directly in your line of sight. A blinding light doesn't need to be absolutely 0 degrees in the very center of your vision to blind you. Otherwise flash-bang grenades would be useless. (Does the "splitting" of the flash reduce blinding, because in the center the flash is all in one place, but with ports on the sides the flash is divided into two?)
Deuce - you're making a really good point, about the muzzle flash, and it's effect on your vision. Now, granted. This *depends greatly* on how the brake, compensator, or porting, is milled. As to how efficient it is, and that mileage is obviously gonna vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. The best way that I can put this, is wait til it's dark, and put a flashlight up in front of your eyes so that you're looking into it, and then turn it on. Turn it off again, and wait for your night vision to return. Hold the flashlight about a foot off to the side of right in front of your face, and turn it on again. *Make sure that you are looking forward, as you would with your sights* NO PUN intended, but you will see the answer to your question. It's more about where your vision is focused on. About seeing it from direct focus, and seeing it from slight peripheral. Good theory tho bro. It's good that you're thinking about the details! 👍👍
@@user-dq9pq8uv4e Better to ask than to assume. I've definitely been blinded by bright lights not in my direct vision. Even if it's not as bad, it's still pretty bad. It is amazing how small of a field of vision we use for actually seeing and processing. Like trying to read by looking one inch above the words and never looking directly at them. I think you're right about the design too. Some flash hiders really work and some don't. Some reduce most of the flash while others only reduce a small percentage... and (if I'm not mistaken, most comps are not designed to reduce flash. They're just simple holes to direct the gas for recoil. Would be nice if they could figure out a wat to combine both comp and flash hider in a small compensator or ported slide.
@@deucedeuce1572 Heyas Deuce. Yep, I was thinking that same thing, when you started talking about flash hiders. I was like hmmmm wonder if there's a way to combine them?? For RIFLES, there are what are called "redirectional devices" that you can add to a flash hider, or some specially built comps. Essentially its a can. Like, the outside of a suppressor, with an open end and no baffles. It gives the sound only one direction to go, and the sound helps push the flash forward.
@@user-dq9pq8uv4e Yeah, "sound forwarders" are actually very effective at reducing the sounds for the shooter and hot around him (but not in front of him obviously. One sound forwarder I got for a friend for Christmas was specifically designed to be a sound forwards, but it also works as a comp and a flash suppressor. Just sucks you can't get anything like that on a handgun without making large and heavier.
Ok, I was gonna make a joke about using the muzzle flash from a comp or porting offensively. But, way too irresponsible. 🤭 Great vid SPN, gives people some things to think about, as far as repercussions for their carry choice, and options to weigh.
Been wanting a new conceal carry and have been looking at the macro vs the shield plus. Macro has a decent trigger, fcu to make it customizable, and the comp def does help with recoil. On the other hand the shield plus has an amazing trigger, a great size and I’ve heard the recoil impulse is great. If you had to choose one, which one would you choose between those 2?
I really like my Macro comp, feels like a perfect fit in my hand but i just don't tend to shoot it well so its not in my carry rotation (until i can get a dot for it) but i will say it hasn't had a malfunction out of the 1,675 rounds ive shot out of it
I got the same gun but I'd never did put a Magwell on it but I absolutely love this gun mind that's got the optic plate on top of it I got 3370 rounds through it and it has been absolutely flawless I carry it with the large backstrap it is so comfortable in my hand I got the Excel as well but I'm going to Frankenstein that I'm leaving my macro stock love it so much😂😂
@AAA22323 for sure get a sig p365 xmacro one of the best handguns I’ve owned! I had a Glocks and got rid of it as soon as possible! And i haven’t looked back at getting rid of my glocks! Sig shoots better, feels better in the hand, and hold more rounds!
Lol why is criticizing something considered hating? Anyway, i dont know if its because of where i live i do have a 365x and a 365xl, but those haven't rusted on me, but i rare carry those mostly my cr920. But great content. 👍🏻
The TACOPS EDITION is the best of the plastics for the money and the 4 magazines it comes with. The flared magazine well is able to be removed if not to your liking. As for the rust issue, its a non-issue. I've carried mine since September of last year for off duty carry. I have two other partners who also carry this. I've never had a rust issue, and neither have they. Everyone has their own idea of gun maintenance. Us being Cops go the extra mile maybe. The TACOPS is one if the best carry guns on the market, imho. Is it the best of the 365x macros? That title may go to the new Legion edition if yuo need metal. The TACOPS edition is Cop approved. Get yours.
The X and the X macro is this same weapon or is it different? My X is 12 rds flush. I want 17 rds or 21 rds. I have 15 rds mags. I never heard of this Macro When I bought my X
Completely different. The X is the standard barrel length with a 12 round grip, and different rail mount. X-Macro has a longer slide, different/longer grip and different rail mount.
I have a sig P 365X macro with original parts i’ve been shooting it for a year and a half now and I’ve never had any issues with smoke coming up blinding me nor does it get on my optic sorry that you are having those bad experiences.
I took a low light class with mine and had no issues as well with smoke coming or or blinding from the ports. He’s just spewing fudd lore about the x macro. I had an original xl slide on my macro frame and after shooting my friends comp slide, I had to pick it up because it did make a huge difference for me with follow up shots. It shoots flatter than my stacatto c2
Just my opinion : they’re great looking guns but to me they have a junky feel to them and the slides always look scratched up in addition to the premium prices. Glock and Walther just have a better fit and finish.
Sigs for their price are not worth it unless it’s the P226. I’m not a Glock fanboy but I’ll chose a Glock with its “outdated features” over a modern sig any day.
Sigs aren't even expensive.. The P365 xmacro tacops is like $700 and u get 4 mags.. And u don't have to really do much to it except put a red dot on it if that's your thing.. With Glocks u have to put a new trigger in it, get it stippled on top of the accessories and u end up paying way more than u did for the p365, a gun that comes out of the box better than a lot of glocks
I have been shooting comped handguns for many years and have never had the problems you are taking about, and by the way I own the Sig Comp-Marco and don't have a problem with the comp, nor do I have a problem with my Staccato XC which also has a comp. Not sure why you are having a problem, but maybe just maybe it's you and not the gun, just saying..
I love the feel of the x macro but will never buy one. Seems no one ever talks about what a pathetic design they have to remove the back plate in order to remove the striker assembly to clean or repair. I remove about 3 x’s a year to do a thorough cleaning on my other striker fired pistols without destroying the unit. Once that sleeve is destroyed (about 3 removals) sig wont sell you just the crappy sleeve, they want to sell you a new striker assembly for about $60. Again, pathetic.
As much as I like the P365, I am not a fan of the XL or especially the X-Macro at all. I think the P365 does very well for what it was designed to do... but the bigger options just seem to not really do very much when there are many other guns in the same size and capacity (or better) to choose from... like the G43x (w/15rd mags). I think the P365XL has a longer barrel and may also shoot flatter though (and has a "better" trigger, but I actually prefer a heavier/longer trigger pull for CCW/EDC).
I like the sig p365 models but I just can’t see me paying $800+ for a gun and having rust issues like that that’s unacceptable but I love the way they shoot. Awesome video as always and I hope u doing a review on the new sig p365 axg legion it’s a pricey firearm but it looks promising.
I agree with you. I do view the X-Macro as the 1st/2nd best Carry for its size. However, the rust issues and magazine price is a deal breaker. If I could do it all again, I would go with something else. Note: My X-Macro slide has not rusted yet but my magazines have. *PSA:* If you're thinking about buying an Sig X-Macro, I highly suggest you look at the Walther PDP-F or PDP line instead. Imo, they're much better pistoIs, you just lose 2 rounds.
@@TheHandHistoryVaultsorry to hear that I hope the next generation of guns they come out with is better sig needs redemption from the last few years they had they use to be an amazing manufacturer what happened smh.
No rust issues for this cop or his two partners who also carry the TACOPS. Either it's a bunch of Glock fanboys making it up, or certain people don't know how to care for a gun. We carry Glocks on duty, so don't go there. I have the Walther PDP compact. It's a great gun, better than the Glock I carry on duty. As blocky as a Glock, but it's doable as a concealed carry choice.
Thats a US Made gun..👎 ..only its german made with a DE Stamp..Austrian with AT Stamp...CH swiss made..any clone or outsourced european gun,are never that good like european made 🤔🇪🇺🇺🇸
@@alexfishing47 I think there are some cases that it had rust although Ive had 4 different 365s and they never rusted. Although I dont live down south and always oil my guns anyways.
@charles17508 you probs suck off glock! Sig is so reliable shoots better that glock feels better slimmer and more portable with being way more ergonomic! Why do you think the military is moving away from there current handgun and have never used glocks ever! So I dont think you know what your talking about.
