Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MK318: Cute, it’s negligible and you’re just pissy from the other thread when I pointed out how wrong you were about P365 mags and their cost when you claimed your G43 had the same capacity at half the cost, it doesn’t but either way, that topic is in the other thread, if you have something to say about your claim in that thread, then say it in that thread. Don’t act like a woman and follow me around to other threads trying to troll. It’s clear you’re very anti P365 for some strange reason. It’s as if you go into P365 threads and shit in them in some attempt to validate your choice with the G43. Only a fool practices brand tribalism like that. The G43 is an excellent pistol. I have owned a G43 and 43X since both were released. I also own three P365s as of yesterday. They are also an excellent gun. This is America, you don’t have to pick either or. You can get both. I bought a 365XL as well. I haven't decided if it's going to replace my Glock yet as I'm waiting to get a Wilson grip module on it but I can't find one. The OEM grip is nearly too small as is and it's a little squirmy for me when shooting. As far as mags go they're still expensive but Proven Arms has a deal if you buy three at a time: that helps. |

The p365 is a j frame sized pistol. I heard Sig is selling gazillions of them. I've shot mine a little.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By GLD1980: Boy do I feel late to the party after reading this thread. Now I know I need an X-Macro! I currently have three P365XL's and two G43X MOS's, and the two G43X's have won me over in the feel department with the capacity edge going to the P365's. Yet even with the lower capacity, the G43X's have stole me away from my P365XL's for the time being. I need some of that P365 AXG Legion in my life, and that will probably change things for me... Shoot I can settle for a TACOPS if I had too. Is it ludicrous to believe that a G43X or a P365XL is adequate to intentionally take into a fight? I am currently looking for level 2 retention type thigh holsters to build some fighting belts around the P365's and the G43X's, yet many comments seem to insinuate how having a bigger gun is better for duty or combat. I am confused at the why? I got rid of most of my full size guns in favor of Micro's with add-on's, because I see a future where bigger is not better. I believe concealability and capacity will carry more weight over size, sight radius, or barrel length. What am I missing? I may be wrong but if I am I'll just buy a few more guns, right! It is about marketability and sales. The companies have to take in to account how many they will sell vs. the production costs. Level 2 type holsters are usually for duty type uses. Anybody that carries a gun for a living will not use that type of holster with that type of gun. If they're running that kind of kit it's probably going to have at least a compact (G19/229 size) gun in it. |

Didn't read thread yet but I can only carry my 43x with a jacket or baggy clothes without printing or the thing poking out when I'm moving around particularly at work.
The 365 solved that issue. I went to get a 43 or even a 42 but the workers at the gun shop pointed me to the 365. It conceals perfectly and I only have the 12 round pinky extension mags. Got some 17 and 15 rounders but want a 10 for pocket carry Shoots fine for me and I carry it in a wet muddy work environment but no rust yet. Just wish I got the optic cut

I liked the XL when I had mine. I ended up ditching it when I got the Macro because I didn’t really have a need with my P365 Micro and Macro able to cover all the bases. I had the WC module for my XL though and I liked it a lot. I ended up selling my XL for WC to release the one thing I’ve wanted for a long time, a macro module with a micro slide. So I bought another P365 Micro the other day to pair with the new WC module unfortunately it’s out of stock as well though.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By King_Mud: I saw a lot of reviews on that module where people said it really wouldn’t fit light bearing holsters so I stayed away. If you get it and it works out please follow up. I had minor fitment issues using the WC grip module but it did require minor hair dryer heating to adjust the holster a bit to make it fit. Not a heat gun just a hair dryer to warm the kydex. Leather should stretch easily as the differences are caliper measurements not enough a ruler can accurately measure. |

I’ve been lucky I guess, I haven’t run into any fitment issues with the P365 or P320 WC modules. I have five of the P320 modules in various configurations and I have currently three, soon to be four for the P365. All of my 320s have a weapon light though and usually holsters are built around the light. My P365s have all had a light with the exception of my micro but the two micro modules I have don’t have any issues fitting into either IWB, OWB, Safariland or my kydex pocket holster for them. The only issue I noticed is that the added grip girth rubs my calf when I ankle carry it as a back up. I have to make sure my sock goes far enough up to sit between the palm swell and my calf. Otherwise after a few hours it is driving me nuts.

The rail height is off according to reviews. I hadn't done that comparison, but yes, that's definitely going to cause fit issues. I measure the WC short Macro rail as about 0.050" (roughly 3/64") lower than the SIG factory XL rail. That's a bummer. The short Macro dust cover (the area above the rail) is also 0.052" wider compared to the XL, which I think matches how the factory XMacro grip module is beefier in that area. WC could adjust the rail height to match the XL but would also need to change the contour of the trigger guard, raising that whole area up by 0.050". Otherwise, you'll probably need a custom kydex holster maker to design a specific holster for the WC grip module. I'm going to contact WC and point this fit issue out, for what that's worth.

The way I did my 365 is the best way, but now you can buy the same thing from companies making it. I took a macro grip module and sliced the front down to match the length of my 365X slide. I basically created a Macro 365X, which is the short slide with a long macro grip length. Nothing on the market is as small as this with a 17+1 capacity. Now anybody can buy the Wilson macro grip modules that are made for the 365x shorter slide, or you can buy an aluminum Icarus Precision shorter macro grip that's also made for the shorter 365x slide.

I carry a XL as a back up at work and have been running it off work now to. Switching to a macro module and wouldn’t mind a spare with some more rounds on board. I am using Springer Precision +3 extensions. https://shop.springerprecision.com/-3-magazine-extension-for-sig-sauer-x-macro-17rd-mags/ With Tac Dev plus power springs https://tactical.dev/collections/p365xl-products/products/plus-power-spring A tip from my experience, skip the extra power SP they sell with their extensions. They are standard P320 Gram Engineering 11 coil springs that work great in a P320 mag but not so much in a P365 mag. I was having problems with the magazine failing to lock back on the last round with the 11 coil springs. I ended up switching over to the Tac Dev extra power spring and that solved the failing to lock back on empty problem. Plus they were less expensive as well. My extended mags are now 100% reliable now, they lock back on empty and have been for 500 rounds of 124gr Winchester NATO and 200 rounds of 124gr +P HST JHP. I am going to test more of the HST today just to further confirm but I don’t expect any issues. Ignore the negative reviews on the Tac dev springs. Those people seem like they are trying to use the springs with standard P365 floor plates which they are not designed for. With an extension you do not use that plastic index plate at the bottom of the factory magazine that holds the factory floor plate on. You just use the follower, magazine body, magazine spring and extended base plate. Seems the issues those guys are having are user induced. |

Some people just need to trash the Macro for any illogical reason out there. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MK318: The Macro is smaller than a Glock 19. In terms of feel, it makes my Glock 19 feel huge. The Macro is closer in size to the Glock 43X. That is why I laugh when people who have no experience with the Macro P365 say stupid stuff like it’s the same size of a duty gun. It is slim like a 1911 but much more compact. It is a revolutionary pistol. It is a micro compact gun with a capacity of a full size gun. My back up mags with the +5 extensions give me 20 rounds in a magazine that is smaller than a Glock 19 mag and noticeably narrower. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/557335/IMG_3856_jpeg-3090941.JPGhttps://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/557335/IMG_3857_jpeg-3090942.JPGhttps://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/557335/IMG_3831_png-3090943.JPGhttps://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/557335/IMG_3829_png-3090944.JPGhttps://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/557335/IMG_3830_png-3090945.JPG Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MK318: Originally Posted By W_E_G: Originally Posted By birdbarian: My son is looking for his first pistol, and I'd like him to consider the larger P365, whatever that's called.

 One of my buddies at the local gun shop handed over his P365 Macro to my wife when we were looking for a 9mm carry gun for her. His had the Wilson Combat frame on it, and she actually ended up liking the G43x MOS better. However when I went to hand it back to him I had an "Oooh" moment, and ordered one that day! I got my Wilson Combat frame put on today (can't believe the install was that simple) and it's as nice feeling as his gun was. Not that the stock grip frame was bad, but the Wilson had a better palm swell, less "sand papery" texture, and just seems to feel/fit my hand better than the factory module. YMMV |

I picked up a Wilson Combat grip for my p365 just to FAFO, and I was shocked by how much more I liked it. Like others have said, it takes a lot of the snappiness away. Just by being a bit wider and having a more aggressive texture.
Edit: oh speaking of shocking in a good way things, I recently grabbed an xmacro comp, and that integrated comp makes a significantly bigger impact than I expected. I didn't expect much though, so that's probably the key lol. But more than barely noticeable seems like a win to me. |

Who else uses the Wilson Combat Macro short frame, or the Icarus Precision Macro subcompact aluminum frame? Those 2 frames with the smaller 365X slide are the perfect configurations for me. With that Icarus aluminum frame, it's a really soft shooting gun. Just having a Macro grip length makes the 365 easier to shoot.

Man i really need some kind of micro lol, I just suffer with a roland special g19 all the time or a full size Beretta.
I will say the non safety 365 makes me kinda nervous with the fully cocked striker + no trigger safety and all. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Jscott12: Something about the Wilson combat grip screams ..It's a new day in China..rising sun .. As noted above, that’s Japan you’re thinking of, and I suspect the Japanese really don’t have a lot to do with Wilson products. Personally, I like the Wilson grip module and find it far superior to the factory frame. |

 Yeah, be careful… it can get to you…  small wonders  10 yards, slow fire, first 5 shots of that range trip  with this one (wearing a cheap-ass SIG RDS and shooting shitty ammo, nonetheless) I also have a VP9SK and love all of my HK’s but, so far, of ALL micro-compacts I’ve shot (and the VP9SK really isn’t) nothing’s better than the P365. So, I bought a few. |

I will say the non safety 365 makes me kinda nervous with the fully cocked striker + no trigger safety and all. Yeah, same. Plus the safety that’s available for the 365 is pretty slim and at least for me, I’ve missed it a few times. It could use a little more of a ledge for the thumb to hit. Even with the safety model, the dropping sear can still be physically moved downward. I also noticed with my 365 the firing pin safety does not have to be depressed all the way and pressure on the firing pin will depress it far enough to allow free travel. Yeah I know there’s 2 sears on the firing pin in case one breaks, but damn… Probability of the sear dropping due to vibration and the other two safety’s failing? I’m guessing close to zero, but not zero. I like the size of the 365 and the shootability, but I’m just not sold on the design. Fully cocked firing pin, dropping sear that can move with the safety on, two safety sears on the firing pin ( why? Are they worried about something?), and a firing pin safety that can be forced into the release position with pressure on the firing pin and the FPS partially depressed? I don’t know. Mine is in the safe for now. No, I’m not an Sig hater. A few years back when we had the monthly shooting drill here on ARFCOM I used my 365 on occasion. ETA: Yes, it was 10/10 |
