I'm 6'4" 200lbs with big hands. This thing is a laser-beam. The coating is fantastic. The trigger gets a lot better after 5-600 rounds and the reset is of the best in strikers that I've ever fired. It is leaps and bounds better than my XD, XDS. Glock 43 and even the Hellcat that I shot before deciding on the XL.
I'm 6'3 with the fingers of a 6'7 person. Always struggled with smaller pistols. I carried a P229elite 40sw for years because it fit my hands so well (plus it's an incredible gun overall) but it was so big for EDC. Tried several smaller 9mm, landed on the 365xl. Love it
I spent two hours today side by side testing a 43X and the P365XL. Neither disappointed but the P365 was a clear winner by virtue of the trigger alone. I went in thinking both triggers would suck and the Glock 43 did nothing to change that notion. The SIG on the other hand provided a pleasant surprise. The best part for me was that under recoil the SIG moved nearly straight up and down during intense rapid fire resulting in vertical stringing at 10 yards on a USPSA target. I attribute this to the way the P365 just happens to fit my hands combined with my natural grip pressure. For the life of me, I could not replicate this with the Glock which tended to move sideways dispersing shots decidedly more laterally. Anyway, I decided the P365 was my best choice of the two as a new EDC gun. The Glock seemed to want to come to zero from sideways
I am left handed. That said, I never swap anything and adapt to right handed controls. Use my left middle finger to drop the mag, and go under the front to rack after slide lock. Works like a champ, and if I rob one off a dead foe most likely inferior handed, I can use his without breaking my stride.
Funny post..since I am “inferior handed” I switched the mag release to lefty side and use my right middle finger to drop the mags. Interesting that we both eject the mag the same way.
This gun is my EDC and I absolutely love it. Incredibly accurate, extremely durable, comfy in my hands and I’m not a big guy. I’m about 180 lbs with an athletic build and I can conceal it easily and comfortably. Not to mention how fun it is to load some fmj rounds and just plink at steel all day with this gun and I love the Romeo zero.
M*CARBO makes a spring kit for the P365 which dramatically improves the trigger pull. About $20 and half an hour's worth of time took mine from Glock level to PPQ level. The creep is almost entirely eliminated and the reset is incredibly tactile and crisp.
You could have just got the xl grip module and an xl magazine and then swapped the slide and FCU over to the other frame, it is the simplest mod in the world and only takes 10 seconds and the frame and magazine would be about $120 dollars, not to mention they have different colors including FDE and sniper grey.
I’m a first time handgun owner. I tried several at the range and immediately fell in love with the 365XL after a few rounds. Purchased it on the spot. Great everyday carry.
I just bought the 365 Excel Romeo a week ago and I'm impressed it feels like a full size gun you feel confident holding it shooting it and carrying it I suggest shut your trap pay the money and buy it it's worth it
I have a full sized P320 9mm and an X-Compact, but I just got my mom a new P365 XL w/ a 15 round magazine and Talon Grips and a Romeo Zero RDS... All I can say is wow! But you're right about the fact that they are extremely expensive... I'm spending as much $ on my mom's gift as I am on my daughter's AR-15...
I'm a left handed machinist trying to retire someday with all my fingers...everything is designed for righthanded. For 850$ put a frickin slide release on the other side. I'd spend even more for left side eject but that's just crazy talk. Thanks for posting. Love the gun btw ...
As a lefty I can agree. I have never had issues with ejection on pistols, but the slide release and mag release issue has barred me from spending my money on many options. I have shot and enjoyed many pistols and can use my index finger to operate what's needed in a pinch, but I can't bring myself to spend that much on something that can't accommodate my leftyness Edit: I am a glutton for punishment, because I have a 365xl on order 🥲🤣😂 I'll just have to slingshot my reloads
I love the modularity of the P365XL. I put the base 365 grip on my XL. This gives me the option to pocket carry with a 10 rd magazine and pinky extension in a Vedder pocket holster. Or I can carry it with a 12 round mag and an IWB holster. For deep concealment I can wear it in a belly band with either 10 or 12 rounds when I'm wearing a dress shirt. Finally I can carry it in an OWB holster under a sport coat or suit. It is the most versatile CCW gun I have ever carried.
You may be interested in the Magguts package which will convert the 12 round mags to 14 rounds with no change in the overall size. So far mine has been reliable over several hundred rounds.
I agree. I think the 365 makes an excellent deep concealment and or back up gun. Mostly because it is hard to shoot well because of its very small size. The XL on the other hand is a great carry gun. Very shootable. Accurate and fast handling.
Yeah if you're a leprechaun dude like I am, you will probably enjoy how the 365xl feels in the hand. The fit factor alone will help you shoot better than you will with a glock 19 or other similarly sized 9mm. It's also nice to not have to buy a extended grip like you would in a glock 26 or a regular 365. I compared it to my Sig P210 and the recoil really wasn't much more noticeable with the 365xl. Fully loading the 12 round was quite difficult at first, but it became much more manageable after a few reloads.
The XL makes sense if you’re holstering the weapon in the belt. If you’re using is in the pocket the standard is better, or the SAS if you can get use to those sights.
Good video. I love mine, but it has a Hogue grip sleeve and helps a lot with the feel of the grip. I have big hands and that made a huge difference. The red dot works great. It is very fast to get on target with and the pistol is very accurate. I've been looking at these dang 365's for a couple years now and finally made the decision when I saw the Sig p365 RomeoZero. Excellent combination. I generally use iron sights on my pistols, but this red dot works great. I would not change a thing!! The trigger on mine is great, reset is quick and the pistol is not as snappy as you would think for a pistol of this size. YMMV.
Sig has now changed the design on the XL by attaching the rear site to the slide frame so that it is retained when a red dot is mounted. That's the good news. The bad news is they are still using low sights which eliminates the co-witness when using a Holoson 407K. The trigger on mine is one of my favorites and much preferred to the 6+ pounder on my Hellcat Pro which will receive an aftermarket trigger. I replaced the magazine spring, followerer and baseplate with the Magguts package which converts the 12 round magazine to 14 rounds. Works perfect. The XL carries easily, shoots fast and straight.
I may do the same. My battery died on it within 2 months of buying it. I was livid. I was running it on maybe the 3rd or 4th brightness setting. So not anywhere the highest brightness. That’s a $15 battery change, given the fact I now have to check my zero with my self defense loads again. I wish the gun came with the rear sight mount, it’s almost impossible to find it now, and I’m having a hard time trusting the red dot. Love the gun though!
I'm left-handed, and you can switch the mag release button. The slide lock isn't an issue on this gun for lefties. Just use your left index finger, gun is small.
I also thew the manual safety on mine cuz that’s how I like to roll. 3k rounds with no malfunctions. However I did have a trigger reset spring break at about 2k and sig was less then responsive getting new parts
@Frank Bonazza III I put the XL grip on a regular p365 slide-which is the same size as with the 12 round mag. Not sure what you’re so mad about, but have a wonderful holiday sir
@Frank Bonazza III Glocks can't be all that bad as the FBI and now I hear the Navy SEALS are using the Glock 19x. If I ever purchase a Sig it would be a P220 in 10mm. or a P226 in .40 S&W.
I own both and both feel phenomenal in the hand. I carry the standard 365 and play with the XL at the range. Just as when I drink tea, I don't use my pinky when I shoot. None of my firearms ever see the case, cardboard box or plastic bag once I get them home. If it's not in a holster or in my hand, it's in a safe of some type.
Very difficult to argue the serious advantage of the RomeoZeroXL compared to its standard counterpart. Immediate confirmation to this is found on the range during live fire comparison. Best Wish's Patriots ! Carry On
What drama? Every person that I have spoken with that owns a P365 has told me to get the P365 XL. To add to the drama, I believe that the M&P Shield Plus might be a better pistol since it is just a tad larger than the P365XL. It felt great in my hands, but I am waiting for the o[tics ready non Performance Center version to come out.
Moot point #1: Modern hollow points have fast burning powders specifically designed for 3" barrels. Moot point #2: add the 12 round mag to the p365 you have the same grip (minus the flared mag well and larger beavertail) essentially same grip though. Moot point #3: the larger sight radius wont make you a better shooter. It will simply make a trained shooter more accurate. Big difference from what he said.
You are like halfway there on all 3. 1. Some do- some don’t - some are designed around 4 or 4.5” barrel - even with 4” 3.8 is a lot closer 2. But that’s not how they ship and most people carry them is it? 3. Sight radius works for everyone - a marginal sight picture provides better hit based on a longer slide for anyone.
I have the hellcat but my hands are medium and the hellcat feels small. Do you feel better the 365 xl? And recoil much better? I'm thinking on getting the xl for my edc. Thanks
@@GabylannPR I've held both and the XL just feels better. I splurged on a 15 round mag and wished I had an extra finger.🤪 Mine came with the dot separate, so I haven't tried it yet.
Bad choice, they no longer come with a sight plate to convert to iron sights. I hope you like it cuz your stuck with it unless it was an older model with the sight plate included. Not to mention you could have just ordered a 365 xl grip module off the sig website and swapped the slide and FCU over to it, it's very very easy and then you basically have the better grip of the xl with the shorter slide of the P365.
@@Fanuc_Operator1990 , mine came as a mos version with an unopened pack of Romeo zero sights that I stuck on the slide after removing the sight plate. I switch back and forth at times.
Magguts +2 kit. Turn your 12 round mags into 14 round mags without even adding 1/8" to the grip. After almost 2 years they've been perfectly reliable for me, and more reassuring with more rounds. You're welcome.
I have had my XL for almost a year now. I put a Holosun 507k on mine. It has been a really good pistol. It’s is an awesome carry gun. Only thing is I feel it is way over priced.
Thank you for saying the trigger is creepy. Mine is as well and I meet people that say theirs is like a PPQ and I have to wonder if they’ve never actually owned a PPQ or I somehow got the worst one made.
I have both a 365 and a 356XL. I just replaced the Romeo Zero with a rear iron sight on the XL. It would take too long to adjust to red dots for concealed carry. Love the trigger, fit and capacity.
I mean you can get a 12 round extended that’s about the same size as the xl. Can even get 15rd mags. It makes more sense to get the standard so you can decide whether to have more conceal ability. You can also get they red dot for the standard.
My carry rig is the Sig P365XL ROMEOZERO in a Super Tuck Crossbreed holster with the Combat cut and the horse hide up grade using Speer Gold Dot 124gr jacket hollow point +P ammo. There is nothing better in MHO!
Enjoyed the comedic sarcasm....... I recently purchased the 365xl because it was the first one that came available it was the NRA coyote which came with 2-12rd. mags and 1-15rd mag. Love the gun. That being said. My concern is a holster that won't rub the Cerakote from the gun. I prefer back right carry. Simply if there were an incident I'm partial to my femoral arteries. Don't want to have a fortune $$ in learning curve holsters. Ur input appreciated.
I bought a 12 round mag for my P365 and the Magguts spring kit so I get the grip of the xl and 14+1 capacity. Super easy to conceal. If I were to start over, I’d want an OR option.
I'm fairly sure Sig is trying to bankrupt me or give me paralysis through analysis. My wife is little so she loves the Sig P365. I bought a Hellcat RDP and really like the extra barrel length and having a compensator on a micro is a really cool innovation and noticeable. Why can't Sig just make a P365 with the barrel length of the XL with a compensator like the Spectre Comp. That would really help me because I want the best of both worlds to upgrade my wife's original P365.
Eventually Sig will sell the 365 Spectre Comp slide on their site, then you could get it and install it on your regular 365 with its shorter barrel/recoil spring even though the Spectre Comp slide is the same length as the XL.
@@active4delta Appreciate the response. That would really be cool. Past two or three years it seems like my gun safe has quantum leaped in quality. From the time I was in high school pistols are like comparing a biplane to an F16, Modularity seems like the next wave,
I've done a lot of digging on what I'd like to carry. I have a 43x and I do like it. But this is what I'm looking for when it comes to comparing. I subscribed! Great content!
It's 100% better! With that little extra length on the barrel it shoots so much more accurate and the mags hold more and the grip is still small for my short fingers. It's my edc but I shot both before perchasing.
@@magdumpmoravec3557 I waited about six months with optic planets for my 507K . I sold my Romeo zero because it was a piece of junk. I’m no professional pistol shooter but I do carry 365 XL ccw and they are so much more user-friendly. Sorry hard to get
They no longer come with a sight plate, I'm stuck with the Romeo zero and I like it but it's really annoying that I can't switch and they sell the plates on the website BUT they have been out of stock for a long long time...kinda stupid that a $750 dollar gun doesn't come with a regular sight option....oh and the Romeo zero is rather easy to scratch, even only using microfiber cloths and q-tips with alcohol it still has scratches after a few months of owning it and probably 5 trips to the range or so.
Having a P365 (w 12rd mags + flat trigger)....... I'm thinking of getting a XL grip module for it. Is there enough difference between the 2 that I should think trading up to a XL instead?
The trigger pull on my p365xl is better than showed in the video. Mine is spongy sure, I think most are but it's smooth and crisp on the break. It doesn't have 3 false walls like you say in the video. It has one defined wall, and then when you pull past the wall its spongy, but smooth until it breaks
Great video....however...A person spends about 1/8 to 1/16th of a second to pull a trigger (maybe less) so I don't understand the micro-dissecting of every ten-thousands's of the trigger pull. My standards are a little different. When I pull the trigger on my XL the gun fires. I know when it's going to fire, and it fires every time. To me, the trigger is working perfectly and could be no better. The clutch on my 2012 Ford Focus feels different than the clutch on my 2001 Ford ZX2 and 1993 F-150. However, all of these clutches worked perfectly. This is how I view triggers. No matter what a clutch feels like in a car or truck, you get used to it, and it works perfectly.
My friend they are dropping the P365X . its the regular smaller p365 but with the flat face trigger and has the ability to put an optic on it like the 365xl
South paw here and so far love my XL, took me some time to decide manual safety or not, went without, also I am reading lots of crappy issues with the Romeo so for now I decided to hold on, the holster I chose is a sticky holster to carry in left side waist, i have been carrying my G42 this way for couple years now, a truly wonderful holster for any caliber I would say, went out looking for the hellcat and ended up picking the XL, what do you know!
Hey man if you wanna try a good concealed holster I make similar ones to that Harry holster but a bit more sleek. Getting my xl next week once oregon clears my bg check. My fb is facebook.com/onthebrinkoutdoors
I am a lefty who dealt with right controls on most of my guns, I bought a lefty ar side charge and switched my g17 and sig 365xr0 mag release because of carry issues my pelvic bone would release the mag when I bend over sometimes
I have the P365 and carry it with the 12 round extended mag. That gives me the same grip size as the XL. The thing I like about this gun is that I can put the ten round mag in it, for those times when I'm carrying in communist states that don't allow such things. In those communist states, it is very important for your weapon to NOT print.
You are truly brave to carry in a communist state, like California? they do not recognize any out of state permits so carrying there is breaking their laws; (ultimately, the law?) yes I know the second says "shall not be infringed" but it is pointless to argue that we all know judges do not care and will be glad to confiscate your firearm and rip your permit in your face; you can lose your permit if caught carrying there. The solution for me is not to go there unless absolutely needed, say for work or work training that I have been twice this year but not to visit ever; I am not risking any of my guns or my permit to carrying for a bunch of commies and while i know I may be risking even worst with my life on the line if something ever happens it is the way it ought to be and the way it is! fuck them communists pieces of shites!
@@fireyourrocketts The State of ignorance, or the so called 'free State, is also a commie State like Commifornia. It's Maryland and they do infringe on our 2nd amendment right big time.

@Frank Bonazza III Glocks can't be all that bad as the FBI and now I hear the Navy SEALS are using the Glock 19x. If I ever purchase a Sig it would be a P220 in 10mm. or a P226 in .40 S&W.
Good job covering this gun, I am still very disappointed that the DWX, never hit the market. I was very enthusiastic about purchasing that gun.
I own both and both feel phenomenal in the hand. I carry the standard 365 and play with the XL at the range. Just as when I drink tea, I don't use my pinky when I shoot. None of my firearms ever see the case, cardboard box or plastic bag once I get them home. If it's not in a holster or in my hand, it's in a safe of some type.
Here doing research for a carry pistol!
Very difficult to argue the serious advantage of the RomeoZeroXL compared to its standard counterpart. Immediate confirmation to this is found on the range during live fire comparison. Best Wish's Patriots ! Carry On
I agree. The P365XL is better in everyway to the P365 and about every other micro compact.
What drama? Every person that I have spoken with that owns a P365 has told me to get the P365 XL. To add to the drama, I believe that the M&P Shield Plus might be a better pistol since it is just a tad larger than the P365XL. It felt great in my hands, but I am waiting for the o[tics ready non Performance Center version to come out.
Moot point #1: Modern hollow points have fast burning powders specifically designed for 3" barrels.
Moot point #2: add the 12 round mag to the p365 you have the same grip (minus the flared mag well and larger beavertail) essentially same grip though.
Moot point #3: the larger sight radius wont make you a better shooter. It will simply make a trained shooter more accurate. Big difference from what he said.
You are like halfway there on all 3.
1. Some do- some don’t - some are designed around 4 or 4.5” barrel - even with 4” 3.8 is a lot closer
2. But that’s not how they ship and most people carry them is it?
3. Sight radius works for everyone - a marginal sight picture provides better hit based on a longer slide for anyone.
Truly enjoy your style and delivery of knowledge
I own the 365 and the hellcat but my edc is my 365xl with remeo zero. Nice review on the pistol. Never had any problems with gas hitting my optic.
I have the hellcat but my hands are medium and the hellcat feels small. Do you feel better the 365 xl? And recoil much better? I'm thinking on getting the xl for my edc. Thanks
@@GabylannPR I've held both and the XL just feels better. I splurged on a 15 round mag and wished I had an extra finger.🤪 Mine came with the dot separate, so I haven't tried it yet.
Very thorough review and great production quality. Thanks for this great content.
I’m not left handed...just wanted to say a Humble Marksman monster truck is a mash up I could get behind.
I just traded my p365 for XL Romeo Zero, I can’t wait to shoot it!
Bad choice, they no longer come with a sight plate to convert to iron sights. I hope you like it cuz your stuck with it unless it was an older model with the sight plate included. Not to mention you could have just ordered a 365 xl grip module off the sig website and swapped the slide and FCU over to it, it's very very easy and then you basically have the better grip of the xl with the shorter slide of the P365.
@@Fanuc_Operator1990 , mine came as a mos version with an unopened pack of Romeo zero sights that I stuck on the slide after removing the sight plate. I switch back and forth at times.
Magguts +2 kit. Turn your 12 round mags into 14 round mags without even adding 1/8" to the grip. After almost 2 years they've been perfectly reliable for me, and more reassuring with more rounds. You're welcome.
Excellent review, thanks for posting......you covered it all nicely!!
I swapped the mag release to the opposite side using an exacto knife, because I'm LEFT HANDED
Great review. Had a p365 sas that liked. But bought a p365xl and I really like it. Thanks for you honest review.
I have had my XL for almost a year now. I put a Holosun 507k on mine. It has been a really good pistol. It’s is an awesome carry gun. Only thing is I feel it is way over priced.
Thank you for saying the trigger is creepy. Mine is as well and I meet people that say theirs is like a PPQ and I have to wonder if they’ve never actually owned a PPQ or I somehow got the worst one made.
I like it.. the mags are some of the best made and last longer then off market.. stock up on them around holidays
I ordered one a few days ago pretty excited to check it out.
Oh ok. When you said they are snappy, that I think is a deal breaker for me. At least right now. But someday I'll try it.
The Best review by far on this gun by far.
Run this on an AR platform. Really satisfied with it.
I have the hellcat for my edc but I'm starting to like this sig xl 👀😂. Cool video thanks!
I mean if your pocket carrying just get the normal 365 which is the whole point of it. This just put it on your belt
I really liked these.
I just like the Glock 48 MOS a lot more.
I'm left handed 😀. Oh, and it would be cool if you had a "how it stacks up against its competition" category. Love your videos!
First time watching your videos. I am a lefty lol. I picked the xl with romeo zero last week. I swear its an art to be a lefty in a righty gun world
just like a lefty tellin everybody your left handed. Pssh.
@@TheHumbleMarksman pssshh unbelievable..😆
With all the most excellently delivered dry jokes, how did “Easy to manipulate from the front, which is what I like to do.” slip by? 🤣
I have both a 365 and a 356XL. I just replaced the Romeo Zero with a rear iron sight on the XL. It would take too long to adjust to red dots for concealed carry. Love the trigger, fit and capacity.
Hey David, I’m left handed. Thought you should know. Thanks!
Just like a lefty - making a big deal of it
thank you for saying what needed to be said the XL is the best 365 model
The X is the sweet spot. My trigger is awesome, smooth, light and crisp. It is not left handed, it is wrong handed.
I'm 7'10 and 679 pounds and a Desert Eagle is my compact~Signed... Andre The G. Jr
P365 reminds me of a Ruger LCP. Teeny grip, but I tip my hat to Sig engineering to fit so many rounds in the grip.
I mean you can get a 12 round extended that’s about the same size as the xl. Can even get 15rd mags. It makes more sense to get the standard so you can decide whether to have more conceal ability. You can also get they red dot for the standard.
My carry rig is the Sig P365XL ROMEOZERO in a Super Tuck Crossbreed holster with the Combat cut and the horse hide up grade using Speer Gold Dot 124gr jacket hollow point +P ammo. There is nothing better in MHO!
Lefty and mag release change to the correct side is easily
Care to explain or post a video link?
Enjoyed the comedic sarcasm....... I recently purchased the 365xl because it was the first one that came available it was the NRA coyote which came with 2-12rd. mags and 1-15rd mag. Love the gun. That being said. My concern is a holster that won't rub the Cerakote from the gun. I prefer back right carry. Simply if there were an incident I'm partial to my femoral arteries. Don't want to have a fortune $$ in learning curve holsters. Ur input appreciated.
I bought a 12 round mag for my P365 and the Magguts spring kit so I get the grip of the xl and 14+1 capacity. Super easy to conceal. If I were to start over, I’d want an OR option.
I'm fairly sure Sig is trying to bankrupt me or give me paralysis through analysis. My wife is little so she loves the Sig P365. I bought a Hellcat RDP and really like the extra barrel length and having a compensator on a micro is a really cool innovation and noticeable. Why can't Sig just make a P365 with the barrel length of the XL with a compensator like the Spectre Comp. That would really help me because I want the best of both worlds to upgrade my wife's original P365.
Eventually Sig will sell the 365 Spectre Comp slide on their site, then you could get it and install it on your regular 365 with its shorter barrel/recoil spring even though the Spectre Comp slide is the same length as the XL.
@@active4delta Appreciate the response. That would really be cool. Past two or three years it seems like my gun safe has quantum leaped in quality. From the time I was in high school pistols are like comparing a biplane to an F16, Modularity seems like the next wave,
@@BB-yh5rd for sure. Cheers 🍻
I read goodnight moon to my daughter all the time I about died when that came on lol
Got a P365XL very happy with it comfortable carry traded p320C for it. Like narrowness much better
I've done a lot of digging on what I'd like to carry. I have a 43x and I do like it. But this is what I'm looking for when it comes to comparing. I subscribed! Great content!
Had a P365 sold it for the XL added the True Precision barrel and Romeo Zero. Much better pistol to shoot.
It's 100% better! With that little extra length on the barrel it shoots so much more accurate and the mags hold more and the grip is still small for my short fingers. It's my edc but I shot both before perchasing.
Nice shootin, Coach Beard. 👍👍
I used mine this year for competition it was great.. bought. 15round mags
paid 50 bucks a pop for my 15 rounders >:(
Pair this with a G-Code Phenom Stealth holster and it's an EDC dream.
I love the 365xl. One of the best carry guns out. Very accurate and simple to shoot. I have the romeo zero but not a fan.
Get the holosun 507 k you’ll love it and throw away the Rome zero
@@tiredofit9112 just sucks no body has any holosuns in stock
@@magdumpmoravec3557 I waited about six months with optic planets for my 507K . I sold my Romeo zero because it was a piece of junk. I’m no professional pistol shooter but I do carry 365 XL ccw and they are so much more user-friendly. Sorry hard to get
You bet. The best carry gun out there!!
Thank you 👍.
They no longer come with a sight plate, I'm stuck with the Romeo zero and I like it but it's really annoying that I can't switch and they sell the plates on the website BUT they have been out of stock for a long long time...kinda stupid that a $750 dollar gun doesn't come with a regular sight option....oh and the Romeo zero is rather easy to scratch, even only using microfiber cloths and q-tips with alcohol it still has scratches after a few months of owning it and probably 5 trips to the range or so.
Haha. Love the clips from Dallas Pictol Club.
I carry an XL. Love it!
They're a great size.
Having a P365 (w 12rd mags + flat trigger)....... I'm thinking of getting a XL grip module for it. Is there enough difference between the 2 that I should think trading up to a XL instead?
I don't think so, imo.
The trigger pull on my p365xl is better than showed in the video. Mine is spongy sure, I think most are but it's smooth and crisp on the break. It doesn't have 3 false walls like you say in the video. It has one defined wall, and then when you pull past the wall its spongy, but smooth until it breaks
Great video....however...A person spends about 1/8 to 1/16th of a second to pull a trigger (maybe less) so I don't understand the micro-dissecting of every ten-thousands's of the trigger pull. My standards are a little different. When I pull the trigger on my XL the gun fires. I know when it's going to fire, and it fires every time. To me, the trigger is working perfectly and could be no better. The clutch on my 2012 Ford Focus feels different than the clutch on my 2001 Ford ZX2 and 1993 F-150. However, all of these clutches worked perfectly. This is how I view triggers. No matter what a clutch feels like in a car or truck, you get used to it, and it works perfectly.
Love my XL with Holosun 507k
Dude in the first shot when you’re one handed shooting I swear to god you looked at me multiple times
And you loved it
I love the 365 sig but I wish it had a Red Dot sight on it as for the big brother I'm not convinced
My friend they are dropping the P365X . its the regular smaller p365 but with the flat face trigger and has the ability to put an optic on it like the 365xl
South paw here and so far love my XL, took me some time to decide manual safety or not, went without, also I am reading lots of crappy issues with the Romeo so for now I decided to hold on, the holster I chose is a sticky holster to carry in left side waist, i have been carrying my G42 this way for couple years now, a truly wonderful holster for any caliber I would say, went out looking for the hellcat and ended up picking the XL, what do you know!
Hey man if you wanna try a good concealed holster I make similar ones to that Harry holster but a bit more sleek. Getting my xl next week once oregon clears my bg check. My fb is facebook.com/onthebrinkoutdoors
I love my XL.
The X and the XL with the Romeo are great.
I am a lefty who dealt with right controls on most of my guns, I bought a lefty ar side charge and switched my g17 and sig 365xr0 mag release because of carry issues my pelvic bone would release the mag when I bend over sometimes
I have the P365 and carry it with the 12 round extended mag. That gives me the same grip size as the XL. The thing I like about this gun is that I can put the ten round mag in it, for those times when I'm carrying in communist states that don't allow such things. In those communist states, it is very important for your weapon to NOT print.
You are truly brave to carry in a communist state, like California? they do not recognize any out of state permits so carrying there is breaking their laws; (ultimately, the law?) yes I know the second says "shall not be infringed" but it is pointless to argue that we all know judges do not care and will be glad to confiscate your firearm and rip your permit in your face; you can lose your permit if caught carrying there. The solution for me is not to go there unless absolutely needed, say for work or work training that I have been twice this year but not to visit ever; I am not risking any of my guns or my permit to carrying for a bunch of commies and while i know I may be risking even worst with my life on the line if something ever happens it is the way it ought to be and the way it is! fuck them communists pieces of shites!
@@fireyourrocketts The State of ignorance, or the so called 'free State, is also a commie State like Commifornia. It's Maryland and they do infringe on our 2nd amendment right big time. The best solution is to not give the commie States your money! It was never this bad back in the 80's & early 90's prior to 94.
@@fireyourrocketts We're not all commies. Some of us like to shoot and carry...Probably most of us actually, but our election system is the same as what you just witnessed countrywide.
I live in CT, another commie state and I truly hate all the restrictions that was bestowed upon us!!! The great thing is that we're not all commies here!!!
@@mzimmerman12 Well I know many folks who live there are not commies; it is California politicians, even when Cali has had a republican governor like the terminator, the guy is a RINO, true conservatives in Cali are really outnumbered by sea of liberals and progressive; how else can that State be like that ? I know it is a beautiful State and we love many of the parks and attractions there but every time I go it pains me to leave my piece behind, I feel oppressed, so I am not a regular visitor even living relatively close.
