The Truth About the New Sig P365 X Macro: 1000 Round Review 

If only we had more honest people like this guy. Chris doesn't give a single fuck and will tell you exactly like it is. No sponsors or overlords to appease. Something quite rare these days, and I really appreciate it.

I have been carrying a 43x for 3 years with no complaints. The second the Macro released I knew I needed one. Finally was able to get one last week and couldn't be happier. The fact that its almost identical in size to my 43x and has 7 rounds more plus built in comp is unreal.

How Sig got 17 rounds into that size of a gun is still mind blowing

Picked up an XMacro yesterday. This is the best carry gun one could wish for. Great balance, concealable, 17+1? Are you kidding me? Great job Sig!

Sold! Just got onto California handgun roster, I’ll be adding this to my CCW

My 1st personal gun (not issued), zero regrets. Needed something just as Chris said to flex as both my EDC and home defense for both my Wife and I. Love the channel and keep up the wonderful work.

Personally, I couldn't imagine having a red dot that you couldn't use to rack the slide. That needs to become the gold standard.

Hands down the most useful gun channel on RU-vid. No question at all.

Absolutely LOVE my Xmacro. Fired a good 800 rnds out of it and have had 0 issues with it. Its my edc and id confidently say id trust my life with it. 100%

Love the honest reviews. I purchased the Macro in late August, ordered 507, mounted and began shooting. 1400 rounds so far without a hiccup using all kinds of ammo. This is my carry and home defense gun. I've let several others shoot a mag or so of ammo through it. Every single person loves the experience. Awesome "little workhorse", IMHO.

I've been carrying this exact setup for about a month now and it's by far the best carry gun I've ever owned when you consider the size to capacity ratio.

Hard to carry anything else after buying this guy.... has been perfectly reliable and it is an engineering marvel to me because of all it offers in such a small package. Awesome review as always!!

This guy was born to review guns, very thorough but straight to the point with no bias. Well done 🔥

I handled one at my local gun shop today. I don't know what kind of wizardry they're doing over at SIG, but I was very impressed at the size/capacity ratio! Perfect for daily carry!

Hands down one of my favorite and I've not been kind to sig over the years

I bought the x macro frame and 3 magazines. I converted my p365 xl. I had my barrel and slide magnaported. The magport makes a big difference on muzzle rise and recoil. Love the frame.

You are my favorite channel of 2022. You're consistent, entertaining, and fun to watch. Please keep up the great work!

Just bought one. Only a few hundred rounds in. So far so good. Absolutely love it!

I have a stock P365 and loved it so much it became my EDC. Was at the range, and one of the range masters let me handle his X-Macro. I was so impressed I got one and it became my new EDC 😂. Shoots like a dream, especially with the built in comp on the front.

I love that your the only RU-vidr that is actually HONEST with reviews. We know we all have favorite guns but your not as biased as others. Respect

Thanks as always for your honesty and frankness! I’ve been researching an EDC gun for a while now and I keep coming back to you. Your delivery and attitude resonates well with me. Keep up the great work

New Outlaw, today is a good day.

I loved carrying my 365XL but times were tough and looking to get another but maybe this Macro will suit me better. Thanks for the better gun reviews.

I like your channel because you have some of the best in depth gun reviews on youtube. Keep doing what you are doing. Thanks

1000 rounds through my x macro. Not 1 issue. I’m very accurate with the iron sights from the x macro. For those who don’t know they light up in the dark The real kind not the ones you have to put a flashlight too. This is over a hundred dollar upgrade. I put a holosun 507 k just like honest outlaw about 600 rounds ago. It does co witness with iron sights. very accurate. Love this gun and honest outlaw videos. He hits on 95% of what I like to know. It is my go to gun but I still swap out my cz pcr 75d every now and again

Finally got one. Cleaned it, went to the range with just iron sights. Shot 300 rounds of factory 115grn brass, 124 grn hand loads, and 124 grn of both nickle plated and brass cased sig hollow point with zero issues. Brought my 43x to compare recoil and control and there was a difference albeit not huge. So far loving this pistol.

bought this awesome pistol and love the way it reacts when fired, the recoil is amazingly low for such a compact gun and not to mention 17 + 1 rounds. Thanks for your honest reviews, keep up the great work.

Picking one up soon. Ever since I got the 43x I realized the slim line pistols are so much more comfortable for concealed carry.

I built a 365XL with the FCU I purchased about a year ago. I just got the X Macro grip and put it on my XL build. I also added the Holosun 507k v2. Love the gun so far.

I ordered the X Macro grip and mags since I already had a custom P365XL. So glad that I didn't have to order a whole new gun. Love the pic rail for my TLR 7A as well.

Got this 3 months ago. Was worried about malfunctions. But have put around 800 rounds with no issues. Have shot many self defense rounds no issues. Really love this gun. My first sig. x macro has taken the place of my cz 75 d pcr for edc. Have the holosun 507 k on it. Works terrific. Thanks honest outlaw for what you do. By the way. I still love my cz 75d pcr. I swap it out every now and then.

I've been very happy with mine. I gave it an initial cleaning and oiling, then decided not to clean it again until it starts malfunctioning to see how far it can go. As of right now I have 1300 rounds through it with zero malfunctions. Since about the 1100 round mark it has occasionally failed to lock open on the last round of a magazine, but I don't see that as an issue.

My glock 43x mos has 15 round flush mags from Shield Armory. It's my favorite gun by far.

I have over 3700 rounds through my macro now. Had a mag issue around 3000 rounds besides that I have had no issues. Love this gun for carry

I have around 1300 through mine. No issues and it’s become my EDC.

Appreciate the review Mr. Outlaw. Looks like a nice option, but I'm sticking with my Shield Plus with the 15 round Equalizer mags, optic, and night sights. Everyone have fun and be safe.

I liked how you compared guns of different sizes/manufacturers. Good review!

Really love my P365 XMacro. The compensator works. I would be very interested in seeing a comparison against other micro compensated guns like the CR920P and the Hellcat RDP.

From the way those plates were singing, you shot that pistol like it is part of you Great review. I’m buying one

I’ve had mine for a couple of months and love it. Just purchased the Icarus precision aluminum grip module and wow does it take the gun up a notch. I know the grip module is expensive but it’s 100% worth it.

I've had my X-Macro for over a year now and have enjoyed it. It's my go to EDC.

Recently got a 365 and ive been shooting a lot lately at the range with norma range ammo. Really enjoy how well I shoot with it, and it has been trouble free so far.

If you have a P356XL already - you can get a 17 round magazine for it or you can get the 17 round magazine and Macro grip module and then you've got it except for the compensator.

I am no gun guy, or at least, I wasn't a year ago. With the rise of crime and the insanity taking over the entire world, I've been doing research for the last 6 months or so into firearms for home defense and family protection. Will be taking tactical training in a few months, reading tactical thinking books. I have settled on this firearm(the P365 xmacro comp) partly due to your videos and knowledge you have. Thank you, Chris. You're invaluable to all of us who wish to know the good, the bad, and the ugly.

I have several handguns including both a P365x and the P365X Macro. I love them both but the Macro is my favorite EDC.

The only reason I'm hesitant getting a carry gun is the waiting game from the market constantly evolving. Next thing you know, there will be a Walther PPS M3 that has doubled capacity or a Kimber R7 Mako with better reliability.

2 things, 1st awesome review non bias straight to the point with all the important info no fluff. 2nd that is the wrong light for the macro. The macro takes the 7 sub with the 1913 rail the sig version is for the for the 365, 365x, 365xl. it has a smooth rail no cross slot. Looking forward to your next review.

Awesome review! The only complaint I have with my X Comp is that the mags need some break in. Racking the slide on a full 17 round mag is tough, grinds against the casing. Also, adding that plus one with a 17 rounder takes a hefty push to get it to click. I’m hoping it breaks in better because I have the same light and optic, it’s the perfect gun!

Thanks for your no BS reviews

Preordered mine the day it went live. Just ended up selling it yesterday, it does feel great in the hand and in theory should be the absolute best carry gun but for some reason I just could not shoot it as well as my Glock 19. I don’t think either conceals easier or more comfortable than the other. With the right holster and my body type it makes no difference. The comp I think gave it a slight benefit in its return to zero but it still felt very snappy in my hand and it was difficult to get a full grip since it has such s thing grip. My Glock 19 just feels smoother and I get substantially better groups with irons at 25 yards then I could with the macro with a red dot. It’s a great gun! But both my 19 and the Macro were competing for the same role, I like the practice as much as I can with the same gun then bounce between different guns so I sold the Macro and will be keeping the Glock 19.

I used to carry a glock 43x and I still love it. It's my gym shorts carry. I picked up the uncomped version of the Macro a couple months ago and I love it. Feels great in my hand. Very manageable recoil amd it shoots great. The capicity is ridiculous. I put 407 k green dot on mine and at night throw a light on it, and it becomes a great home defense handgun. I highly recommend it.

After watching your reviews for the spectre comp and macro, I got my hands on both at my LGS to feel the differences, and I rented the macro to shoot. I definitely agree with you on your ending note that the spectre comp feels better in the hand with the lxg grip module, but there was no way I was gonna pay an extra $450 just for a tin barrel and trigger. Ended up trading a safe queen for a macro, and I went out and bought an eps carry, tlr7 sub, the LXG grip module, and a holster. Now my macro is an imitation spectre comp but with everything I need to carry it (light, rds, holster) for approximately the base price of the spectre comp alone. I couldn't be happier since I'm a slim dude who enjoys wearing clothes that don't look like I'm one wind gust away from being flung into the sky 😂 now I can go from my g19 to this for the summer months and wear what I wanna wear Thanks for all the work you put into all of your reviews! I appreciate ya. Stay safe

When it comes to - yet not just for - the amount of juice for the squeeze, the Mossberg Mc2sc is excellent

Good review, I like my P365 enough to carry it most days.

I have a Glock 43 with +2 extensions since it was pre 43x, I also have an MR920 elite. While looking at carry guns for my wife I put my hands one one of these today at Scheels and if I had no gun and had to pick based on feel in the hand only it’s this gun. Another gun shop had one but maybe a tac model and at glance I think it was just a mag well but that fit the hand even better

I've been looking to get one, but I'd have to sell one of my other ones, to make room. It's really impresses me, and of course the capacity is awesome!

I just bought the x macro this week bc I saw your top guns of 2022 video, I’ve only put about 200 rounds through it but I absolutely love it

I love how we’ve gone from big guns to small guns back to big guns but still smaller than the original big guns. An absolute roller coaster of engineering. Lol

Love my Macro! Definitely shoots flatter than my original P365. Although I do have to be more conscience of it printing with the longer grip. But it has replaced my P365 as my EDC. Great video, thanks!

Just got mine last week but only had opportunity to put a few hundred rounds through it, but so far the most fun firearm I've shot to date. this is the first handgun with optic I've ever owned, and love everything about it, this is my new EDC.

Great review. Thank you for the consistently great content

The whole P365 family is great. It is all interchangeable and I love my p365, with an xl slide. 10,12,15, and 17 rd mags run like champs, make it what ever size you need

This is a reason I am a Sig fan! They keep innovating!

It’s one of the finest conceal carry guns and most versatile on the market today in a holster in your pocket in your jacket. It’s there when you need it. I bought one last year 😎Thank you for sharing.

I just got home with one this morning and haven't fired it yet, a little nervous going into this review but I love this weapon so far! It feels so damn good in the hand Edit: 1 month and change later and this is still my edc and hasn't left my side for more than a moment. Amazing gun and reliable as all hell, I still run it completely stock and will likely not add a light or holo its just too good out the box.

originally when the Macro came out I wasn't all that impressed. But now from your review I'm going to look into it again.

Own it. Love it. 1200rnds so far in 2months. 0 issues

I've been carrying the original P365 for over a year now I can't wait until I can get the P365 X macro I want one so bad

I was able to shoot this gun a few months ago and I liked it a lot. I think the only reason I did not buy one at the time is because I have literally every other version of the P365. After some careful thought, and watching your 1000 round review I'm thinking I may have to go back and get it. lol. Thanks for the video.

Informative. Never been a SIG guy, but after that glowing review I may just have to consider this gun....THANKS!!

I just got the Icarus Precision grip module for it and it makes a huge difference. I've used their P365XL and P320 compact grips before and they were great, but they knocked it out of the park with the Macro grip.

Finally ! Sig has designed a pistol with a lower bore axis to the web of the hand . I have only been waiting for Thirty Fricken Years !

I can’t believe how far we’ve come in 20 years - I was excited to train with a concealed P239 (8 + 1, DA/SA) back then. Now we can carry 17 + 1, with a RDS, and weapon light using about the same real estate, but also keeping our pants from falling down. Still love my P239, as well as it’s sexier sibling P225, but they sadly don’t see much daylight anymore. I haven’t shot the X Macro, but I’m content with my P365 XL with WC grip. Carried with 12 rounder to keep the butt tidy, but with a X Macro 17 round mag on deck. I haven’t yet added a Streamlight because I’m waiting for more holster options, but hopefully soon…

Would have loved to hear mrs outlaw’s comments on this one. A buddy shot my p365x and liked it but has larger hands than me. He bought the macro and loves it. He glock 19 got forgotten about because of how it shoots and comfort for EDC. Great video as always outlaw

Chris is one of the very few "guntuber" who's opinion I can honestly trust.

The regular P365 with the 17 round mag is a nice little carry option too.

Love the gun. Bought an additional macro lower, chopped it down to run my 365x slide on. Can’t imagine a better set up.

With the P365XL, or the P365, you can get an extra two rounds of capacity by using Maggutz springs, followers and baseplates in the flush fitting mags, not the extended mags. It's pretty sweet and their springs are rated for 20,000 cycles of loading and unloading. So, with my P365XL, I have 14 rounds in the mag plus 1 in the chamber which gets me really close to my G19, except in size. :)

Got mine about two months ago and I absolutely love it

Love the review, I'm torn between the X Macro and Walther PDP F-Series currently. Hopefully, y'all have a PDP F review coming soon.

Held an Xmacro today for the first time at my local shop and fell in love. I also held the Shield plus, S&W 2.0, P365XL, 43X, and one other non memorable gun. Once I sell my SCT19 frame with Dagger upper, I'll be getting the XMacro. Down the road Icarus Precision frame for perfection. Great video as always.

I love my X macro. Probably my favorite carry gun ever. Including bul armory, oz9 compact, and mr920, and a ridiculous amount of glocks

placed a houge grip on my xl and made the world of difference when gripping. it was ok prior, but now love the feel when shooting, as it no longer feels like a toy in my hand

Ms outlaw is getting pretty good, starting to shoot faster . Great video bro. 👍

Bought an xl yesterday and it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for in an everyday carry 💯

I’d be surprised if the Spectre has anything special about the trigger besides the coating. Mine felt exactly the same, but I put Tactical Triggers kit in them to reduce overtravel and give it a more defined break. I agree this is the best Goldilocks gun out-for carry and HD. And if the 17rd grip is too hard to conceal, a person can grab an XL grip and a 12rd mag (with a +2 magguts kit! And have a shorter 14-+1 gun.

My wife just bought this gun to replace her P250 Compact which turned out to be to big for her. Took it to the range and put 300 rounds through it without a single malfunction. We both love this gun. Thinking about buying one for myself to replace my Kahr P9 which is my EDC. It is much more comfortable to shoot than the Kahr.

Glad I seen this get your approval now I can buy one with confidence a few reviews out there showing Trigger malfunctions But I thought it was BS

Holy smoke, a gun with an awfull lot of positives and almost no negatives

Live in CT so having the magazine limit to 10 I’m sticking with my bone stock 365. I wish things were different because I would have been all over that model. Great review

For the price, I still prefer the Hellcat Pro. $540 with 5 mags vs $780 and 2 mags. But, I won’t deny they’re both great. Wouldn’t talk anyone out of either purchase.

Have probably like 1300 rounds through mine. Not one malfunction and just an overall great carry to have.

I definitely want to get one of these. Happy with my 365x, but am intrigued by the comp and larger grip.

I put my P320 Tach-Ops (full) next to the X-Macro… it’s significantly smaller but one 4 rounds less. I marveled over that for like 5 days lol

another great video, Honest Outlaw. I have to say, I used to think 1k rounds was a lot until I started shooted myself. hell, that's a busy weekend at the range, haha.

Another fantastic believable detailed review. TYVM! Lots to like as you say: Price, Capacity, Weight, Nolow print, no hassle comp and rackable via optic. I'm going to suggest my wife test this vs G19 at range and see which she prefers for her EDC.

I had massive lead build up after just a few mags. Sold the slide after putting 100 rounds through it. Was using sig ammo followed by federal American Eagle. Barrel was caked and the inside of the comp was coated thick. Was not able to remove the lead on the comp

Bought a 365 when it first came out. I then bought the XL when it came out. I now just bought a Macro. Love the platform. Game changer. I do wish the Macro had stayed with the smaller proprietary light rail to save having to buy new holsters again. I have an existing stash of XL kydex. I don’t run a light. Excellent review bud!

Add a Wilson Combat grip module for about $50-$60, and you have an absolutely perfect carry firearm. The grip module is beautiful, in addition to being superior in tactile feel.

Any time I want to buy a gun I always go to my guy here the best reviewer there is !!! Thanks a lot!!!
