The Sig P365 XL: A Really Good Pistol

  • For a guy who loves DA/SA autos and snubby revolvers, the Sig P365 XL probably seems like an odd choice. But I can't deny that this is an awesome carry gun. In this review, I'm looking at what I've learned to like about the P365 XL after 2000 rounds and a couple of things that could use some improvement.

    I've had the P365 for a couple years. It's had some issues that required it to be sent back to Sig for repairs. I have about 3,000 rounds through it. That being said and I don't like to admit this but I dropped the gun chambered from about 4 feet off the ground in a momentary laps of coordination. It bounced off the tile floor and landed again sliding across the room. It did no fire, so I can confirm that it is indeed drop safe without a safety. Also can confirm that the pucker factor was intense watching it fall in slow motion.

      I think if most people who handle guns regularly were forced to admit it, they'd tell you they've done it at least once. We're only human, despite training and regimen and making the right movements...physics happens, our hands aren't perfect tools, and the brain they're controlled by isn't flawless.

      I think I would poo a little. Dropping the loaded weapon is something that has never occurred to me until I got a pistol. I got a Ruger 1911 and it has no firing pin block, but a titanium pin so it may or may not be drop safe. It just has never crossed my mind before.

      I have dropped a Pistol a time or two, while taking the gun out, or taking the gun and holster off, because I was in the Army and we dropped them things occasionally, because most are hooked with a lanyard to the belt. . Darn lanyard threw off.

  • @firstlast7002

    Bought this gun based on all the positive reviews. Got it home and noticed there was some slide movement in the trigger right before the break. The slide also moved up and down with a click which could be felt when practice drawing the gun. Removed slide and discovered the FCU was loose in the grip module. Called sig and they said this was normal. I decided to do my due diligence and proceeded to visit every gun shop in the Nashville area over the next couple of weeks to test out other p365xl pistols. Out of about 12 pistols I tested I found zero FCU movement. No slide movement in the trigger before the break or slide movement up and down when drawing. There is a forum on the internet of people who have had the same issues as me with the FCU so I know that it is a problem, but no way normal since I couldn't find another pistol with the problem in my area. So I ordered a new grip module from Sig for $76 shipped and swapped the FCU to it. Now there is no more slide movement in the trigger before the break or up and down when drawing. I called Sig and told them about my journey and how I fixed the issue and asked them to send me a replacement grip module for the original defective one and they flat refused and still maintained it is normal. A grip module cost Sig maybe 5 dollars to manufacture and 5 dollars to ship. $10 would have resolved my issue and made me happy and that was too much for Sig. It's a nice gun after I had to drop $76 on it for a new grip but the fact that Sig sold me a defective pistol and then claimed the defect is normal, even though I couldn't find another one in my area with a loose FCU, really has turned me off of Sig. They need to look up the definition of normal. Normal would mean they all have FCU movement. They don't. Which makes it abnormal. Who wants slide movement in the trigger right before the break? It feels gross and the loose FCU made the whole gun feel sloppy. It's fixed now, at my own expense, but Sig has lost a customer for now.

      I guess I'm not super shocked. They didn't issue a safety recall on the P320, which had a tendency to go off without pulling the trigger, resulting in quite a few cops taking bullets in the leg. That was a pretty big lawsuit.

      I’ve always been a Smith & Wesson guy, and I’m especially found of the M&P series.
      I’ve been rocking a .9mm Shield for some time now and it’s still my favorite CCW of choice.
      It’s a fantastic gun!
      To trust that your weapon is not going to fail you when you may need it the most has got to be one of the single most important factors concerning reliability and trustworthiness in a firearm.
      Having said that, I got turned off from the P365 early on concerning all the reports of it malfunctioning and so forth!
      I concluded that there’s no way I’m switching out from using my .9mm Shield, to something that may possess a smaller footprint, but is far less reliable and trustworthy!
      What good are extra shots, when you’re not even sure if the damn thing will work or not?!!!
      After reading about your experience as well, and their piss poor Customer Support, I’m only even more resolute to not waste my time with Sig!
      I’m good right where I am!!

    Finally someone who points out that the stats don’t actually tell you how small and concealable the XL is. I have seen a bunch of you tube comparisons just read the stats and conclude that there is little difference between the xl and say a Glock 19/26 or some other thick double stack, because they are reading the thickness stat which includes the flared magwell and safety width. In reality the gun is extremely slim and comfortable to conceal compared to those other guns. I don’t believe in a safety or carry appendix so for me the manual safety isn’t an issue, and if I had to pick one pistol to be stuck with for the rest of my life, this would be it. Its a carry gun that is comfortable to carry, holds enough rounds for a gunfight, is extremely reliable, and I actually enjoy shooting it more than most full size pistols.

    Chris - This just may be the best video you’ve ever produced - so THANK YOU - and that says a GREAT deal. There’s only one reason I wish you hadn’t produced it: I’ve been struggling with the idea of buying a P365-XL for about a year - it has EVERY attribute I favor and I have always found Sig autoloaders to be excellent - but I really don’t need another “3.5 inch barrel class” 9x19mm/.40 S&W (fwiw, I have intentionally avoided the “3.1 inch barrel class” because I want the extra sight radius, heft, and often capacity). Your highly favorable endorsement drives me a long step closer to a ~$800 expenditure (including additional mags and a holster) . . . damn it. Thanks, again, this is a SUPERB video!

      I just got an XL and went to the range with some friends to fire it for the first time. I can confirm that loading the magazines for the first time was challenging, even for my guy friend, and we were only able to load around seven or eight rounds due to the stiff springs. He suggested to load some in the magazine, keep them in there a while, and put some more in after a few days. It helped, and now I am able to load my magazines to full capacity (12 rounds)! Good luck!

    When I started concealed carry there weren't a ton of options. Either carry a Glock 19 / 23 or a smaller P3AT / LCP. Today there are lots of options, and I think the P365 XL stands out among them.

    The PPS M2 has been my carry gun for the past 3 years and I wholeheartedly agree, such an underrated gun. But for some reason I was under the impression it was smaller than the P365 XL overall, really cool to see the direct comparison and realize I was wrong. I don't think I'll be switching anytime soon as I don't have a need to, but if something happens to my PPS this definitely makes it the most likely replacement in my book.

    It's worth noting that a *HUGE* reason pistol development trended the way it did is between 1994 and 2004 there was a federal limit at 10 round capacity for all new guns and magazines. This got manufacturers and buyers into habits that influenced/echo'd even after the ban was lifted.

Have to say it's perfect for me. Shoots like a p10c/g19 but it carries like a single stack plus it comes with all the features I was going to add. Night sights/ optic cut and magwell.

    Hey, BTW, you can also put the slide of the smaller regular sized P365 on top of the P365 XL’s lower grip module because both sized grip modules are the same length. So if you want a bit of a longer hand grip like on the lower regular module on the XL, and just want to use the 12 round flush mount magazines and still be able to get your pinky on it, that is a viable option if you don’t want the longer slide.
    I have heard from people who have shot both sizes, that the longer size of the XL didn’t really provide any more accuracy or control over the shorter barrel and slide size of the regular P365, Which if that’s the case, and because the regular P365 handles and shoots great and is quite controllable and shoots in credibly straight already, in this case, the smaller the better for conceal carry!
    I have a 2nd GEN P365 and I have put at least 5000+ rounds through it now with zero malfunctions. Let me repeat that, ZERO malfunctions! I have put several different types of ammo through it without a problem.
    It shoots super straight and super great consistently. Unless I had to, I would not use the 10 round flush mount mags ever because it’s always better in my opinion if you can get your pinky on the grip. Also, because the 10 round magazine that has a pinky grip on it is like a 16th of an inch smaller than the 12 round magazine with built-in pinky grip, I wouldn’t waste my time purchasing any of those 10 round pinky grip magazines either. I would just buy a handful of 12 rounders and the bigger 15 rounders. The 15 round magazine can really stick out and print for conceal carry so I carry mine with a 12 round magazine in the gun and a 15 round magazine using a neo-mag magnetic clip inside my jeans pocket.
    After shooting the Glock 26, 43, 42(380), and the shield, I would take the P365 any day over all of those! Oh and one more thing, I have pretty thick fingers but not super long and I must say being able to comfortably grip the P365 is just as easy as the Glock 42 or 43 and way better than the chunky chopped down 2 x4 of glock 26. And if you have larger hands and longer fingers and the 43 and 42 are just too difficult to comfortably hold onto and shoot, check out Lakeside I think it’s gun works. That guy actually makes an all aluminum lower grip module for the P365 with swollen grip sidewalls! So there ya go! In my humble opinion!

Extending the P365 lower with a 12-round magazine yields more comfort than the P365X lower. Also, if I really need to cut down size, I can just put in a 10-round or even flush-fit 10.

This is a gun to carry daily. With 12 rounds (I don't feel even the need for the 15 round mag even though I have one) 2 of the 12 rounders are just fine. It replaced my Glock 19. And I haven't looked back.

    Just picked up the XL, absolutely love this gun. I picked one up with the red dot on it and no safety. Replacing my CZ P07. I wanted something with a decent capacity, but a small enough frame that it was easily conceable. I have a LCP 380 it's meh though. I've also got a CZ RAMI that I sometimes carry, it's a smaller gun but it's metal frame and it's heavy, plus it only holds 10 rounds. The P365 is right at the sweet spot I think. Great Review.

    Switched from my Glocks to the 365 for my every day carry with the manual safety recently picked up the XL with manual safety as well I haven’t had any issues with the size or position of the safety all’s you have to do is practice a little bit and you will be fine and if you don’t like it just keep it off not a big deal this is a very nice handgun they did a great job with it and the p365 is incredible as well it’s amazing the amount of rounds you can get in such a tiny gun

    A great review. Very impressive use of technology to display this Sig's characteristics. I just purchased one. I love the textured grip. I don't know why but the grip angle works for me. I can close my eyes and point at an object and the sights are lined up where I want them to be. This is odd as it is much less angled than my Glock 48 which I have carried for a year.

    I've pocket carried for 20 years, using Kel-Tec micro-9s (the 10rd P11 released in the '90s and the even smaller single-stack PF9 in the 2000s) and snub revolvers. The far more refined P365 with the safety has become my new EDC; it is indeed a delight to shoot!

    I just bought the XL (with Safety), it's in delivery/shipment now to my FFL Dealer. I chose the option with Manuel safety due to deep woods hiking, Backpacking, brush & rock maneuvering, etc. It was a big debate for me. Yes a quality Kydex or leather holster is a must. For me it was just in case of that twig branch, or something out of the ordinary occuring touching off the trigger. So for woods it can be with safety engaged and urban carry with safety off...yet always training to sweep my safety.

  • @donskiver

    The XL is a great gun to shoot. I love mine. I've had it for about 5 months now and have managed to put close to 500 rounds through it. No problems or hiccups to speak of. It's a small gun that "shoots like" a bigger gun.
    My only problem now is finding more of my preferred carry ammo. I can't find any of the 150 grain federal HSTs anywhere ☹️

  • @rickpollard1853
    @rickpollard1853 3 года назад

    The safety in the Shield is perfect for what you need it to be. I train and carry my Shield with the safety on only as a holster the pistol. Once in the holster the safety comes off. When I need to remove the Shield from my holster I engage the safety. To clear the pistol the I remove the mag and then rack the slide to clear the chamber all with the safety engaged.
    I've even smoothed the under side of the safety to remove the jimping to further reduce the chance that I might engage the safety inadvertently. I bought my first Shield the day they were released. I shoot it regularly and I've never engaged it when I didn't intend to.
    Great videos.

      @GunFunZS 4 года назад

      Yes and yet this is pretty accurate to my experience. however I think is insistence on the group safety is a little bit screwy. I see no real advantage other than round count to the XL model. Oh I think correction and a slide cut. I would definitely prefer the standard 365 pistol with the cut for the optic. That is really the just right gun. But the XL is a dang sweet shooter. Really everything about it is just about perfect. The shape is good.The looks are good. The sights are good The capacity is about right, and having a backup bag with extendo.... It's a Goldilocks gun. it's kind of amazing to me that it's an easier gun to shoot well than the full size sig 226. With spicy ammo I can maybe shoot and m9 style pistol slightly better, but due to bore access and grip shape not a lot better.

The glock feels familiar, but better in a way that only a single stack gun can, while the SIG is so petite it feels like a toy.

      I have both the XL and G48. I thought I would like the XL better, but I do not. The G48 is an outstanding pistol. I do not use the Shield S15 mags in my G48, so the XL has better capacity in my case, and it is still a very good shooter. Tough choice. I would choose my G48 if I had to pick only one.
