I’ll preface by saying I’ve been a Glock fan for years and own several models along with other brands as well. With all due respect, the notion that Sig copied Glock is almost laughable. Sig changed the game when they released the P365 and have continued to offer new variants since, with modern features that have set industry standards and market trends. Glock has always been slow to change and offer innovation. If anyone should be looking to copy another brand, I’d say Glock would be wise to start copying Sig. Sig clearly isn’t here to take part, they’re here to take over and don’t seem to be slowing down one bit.
Sig Sauer didn't "copy" GLOCK with their all metal frame Classic P-Series pistols but "SIG NH USA" most certainly did in every way from the striker fired design to the polymer frame. To say anything is a "GLOCK Killer" is pretty obtuse and comical. They all come and they all go eventually. So far nobody has been able to replicate what makes a GLOCK great yet! IMO, Sig should go back to Sig Sauer and start making their classic legacy pistols full production instead of limited runs once again. It's what put them on the map P-220, P-226/Mk25, P-228/M11A1, P-229 etc etc etc. This polymer fad will pass and then everybody will be scrambling for the next big "GLOCK Killer" that never happens.
"GLOCK Killers" like Springfield Armory XD/XDm, S&W M&P and all variants etc etc. They didn't "kill" anything....in fact you can't hardily give them away these days.
@@JohnDoeEagle1 Let me say again that I’m a Glock fan and they make my favorite pistols. There are many guns now days that compete with or surpass Glock in terms of reliability, accuracy, ergonomics and standard modern features, to the point where saying Glock is the best at anything is a subjective opinion. You said “Glock killer,” not me. I’m simply making the point that Sig didn’t copy Glock in this case by lowering the bore axis, a goal for any handgun design, and that if Glock wants to maintain their dominance, they’d be wise to catch up to what other manufacturers, Sig especially, are offering as standard features for the same or less money. Glock is well known for being slow to change and it’s only a matter of time before they’re overshadowed by companies that are striving to push innovation. I’ll support my assertion by pointing out the P320 government contract, civilian sales numbers of guns like the 320 and 365 and the fact that Sig is constantly offering new and fresh variants of these guns.
@@JohnDoeEagle1 actually H&K made the first polymer striker fired pistol in 1970 "vp70" and several after that glock didn't even start for 9 more years, if I were to entertain your argument I'd say that sig copied the styer m9 pistols not the "block"
@@JohnDoeEagle1 no one has been able to replicate what makes Glock so great? No one is replicating Glock, they have all surpassed Glock. Most of the major pistol manufacturers produce pistols with better ergos better triggers and better magazine releases. Walther, Sig, S&W, HK, Steyr, CZ all superior to what Glock offers. Glock makes an excellent pistol the problem is they never evolved.
This, is the best review. Hitting all the points I want to hear. I haven’t heard anyone else go in this much detail. No excess yapping. Just speaking with purpose. Made it nice to watch. No long pauses and slow talk 😂
I’ve ran glocks my entire adult life. Basically every generation of 19 and 23’s. Tried a macro out at the local ffl/range and left with a new one. It’s a fantastic little weapon. Great ergonomics, flat shooter, with a good holster it tucks away even under a t shirt and it holds 17 rounds. Sig knocked it out of the park with the macro. Holsters and magazines are a little challenging to obtain but that’s every new platform. It’ll get better.
I totally disagree, I’ve shot the Hellcat and the P365 too much recoil. The G26 shoots awesome. Yesterday I was shooting my G26 and my CZ P10C. And my honest opinion, I was shooting the G26 better. Hands down 26 for me but everyone is different.
Honestly Glock has been left behind with the x-macro. Sig listened to what people want: Full dust cover w/ picatinny, a flat face trigger, slim frame full size grip, optics ready for the holosun k footprint, and *17+1* capacity. I dont think Glock will have an answer for this for another 5 years.
@@jlinka79 So what's Glocks answer to the P365 X-macro? You didn't answer the question.... Also dont believe you had to send back "your 365" 5 times (why would you keep a gun that keeps breaking?) pretty sus of a comment
I'm glad to see Lenny still doing videos and keepin on. In an ever changing world and society, it's good to see good video presenters from the past doing QUALITY videos. Well done Lenny, keep up the great work. Thanks!
I'm a diehard Glock fan but I've been really impressed by what Sig's been doing these last few years. On the innovation front, they're miles ahead of Glock. The 43X can literally fit 15 rounds already, they just don't sell a mag without a thick polymer wall for some bizarre reason, so it's stuck as a single stack unless you buy aftermarket mags. As much as I like Glock, it's time they look at other brands and start doing a little "copying" themselves.
I have to admin, as a die hard Glock fan, Im REALLY diggin the 365 macro. 17 ROUNDS?!?! and optic ready?? Sheesh! Its hard to make a case for Glock at this point.
Sadly? SIG has always been second to none. Why do you think the US Navy Seals preferred the p226 to the 92fs. The bean counters made the change to Glock. The same as my Dept went from S&W to them. They are cheap for Law Enforcement Departments to buy compared to SIG or HnK or S&W.
@@DS..69 I like Sig, I’ve just always been a Glock fanboy of sorts. I own a 365XL and a 365X Macro, phenomenal guns. I also have a G17, G19, and a G48, which I dearly love. Glock could’ve done a better job with magazine capacity on their slim lines though for sure.
If shield arms can get the failure to feed issues lined out with the S15 mags Glock 43x will be dope. Be nice if glock would make proprietary metal mags for the 43x/48
Just bought a 43X and saw it today, a Sig Macro was in store also, felt awesome, 17 rounds, amazing design. I’m very impressed with what Sig is doing personally.
@@cmdbr To be honest, the 43X was already purchased, and I was there to pick it up when a Macro was in the store as a new arrival, the guys behind the counter was trying to convince me to send back the 43X and buy the Macro, put it in my hand and it felt great, the thing is it was $800+ and I didn’t want to spend that kind of money in which I had got a great deal on the Glock anyway and have a few Glocks and was pretty confident in it. I believe in the buy once cry once element, buy exactly what you want if that’s your only option, but if you have intentions on having other options buy what’s convenient for you at the time, until you can grab the other.
@@wailers1999 I am with you Brother, the SIG products are a bit pricey, and manufacturers are prudent to upcharge for quality. Now that it is November of 2023, I am happy to report that the SIG Macro prices are coming down to a more reasonable price point. As they introduce new/upgraded offerings, the slightly older ones will lose the super-shine.
Great review! Carried a Glock many years on the street but I'm sold on the Sig P365 for a concealed carry weapon. Its just an awesome weapon all the way around!
Years ago I was in sales for a moment. I learned a lot during that time that I try to keep in mind. Though Lennie is a solid Glock-guy (as am I), he is giving SIG kudos for their product. One of the things we should keep in mind is to never insult the intelligence, or choices of the customer. Just because you are selling Chevys, it's not a good idea to knock Toyotas. Thanks for a great video and for keeping an open mind regarding the competition. Ultra-Mega-MAGA
Heh… that’s exactly what the Dems did in the last election… continually insulting the intelligence and choices of their customers… how many prominent lefties have been pushed from the party because they weren’t pure enough.
Nice that you put both of these units head to head. I love both of them for different reasons. I have a 365X SAS on my motorcycle mounted in the saddlebagbag. Easy to grab and pocket with a sticky holster and take anywhere while we are out riding. My EDC is the 43X MOS with a red dot on it. They both work well and i honestly like the way the Sig shoots a little better.
I have loved Glock for a long time. I carried my g19 for the last 7 years. I just picked up the X Macro a month ago and have about 600 rounds through it and love it. I can shoot blocks well but the grip angle and girth of it never felt great in my smaller hands. The X with the largest back strap feels amazing.
100% and Sig is a modular design so what he's saying makes no sense. Glock finally made a cut slide option and they charge so much more for it. Sigs sights are bad ass too, trigger, match barrel I mean Sig is literally better then the Block in ever aspect and every part! Think how much Glock would charge for all u get with the X Macro!? Cut slide, night sights, metal mags, cut slide, flat face trigger, match barrel they would charge $1700!!
17+1 for the sig vs 10+1 for the 43x is a big deal! I also wish glock did integral compensators! But good on you for mentioning the pros and cons of both!
I’ve been a Glock fanboy for over 20 years. My G17 and G26 are my SHTF “phased plasma rifles” go-to pistols…. Until I got a Sig P356 XL. Sorry, but Glock needs to seriously step up they game, because Sig and the 365 family are coming from their crown. Sig’s basic 365 come with more standard features, that would cost you hundreds of dollars in accessories to equip a Glock. Sig is becoming my go-to, sorry Glock.
BdogFinal14 The very reason Lenny has made it so big with Glock is the first thing people do when they get one is replace the frame, slide, barrel, trigger and guide rod. Glock is very well known for the worst grip angel on any handgun. The point of aim is horrible. I have a number of Glocks and they are just OK out of 30+ handguns I have. The P 80s at least changed the grip angel to what it should be. IMO
@@alant5757 you can put an xl slide and barrel on the x macro grip module you can also use the 17 rd mags on an xl. I also like how he said sig copied what glock did with the 43 and 43 x with the x macro, but the sig xl and x both existed prior to this. I think the new sog mags and grip module will be more popular to sig shooters in the long run
@Clay Pylant That's why I went with the 365 XL. I don't care the maker of a gun. I refuse to have one with my little finger hanging off the end of the grip. I am not going to buy a mag to make it fit my hand. For some the grip my be to narrow for their liking. I can't deal with a short grip.
Thank for giving your opinions. I enjoy hearing you pros and cons. I got my 1st Glock last year. It took me 20 years to get one. I wasn’t a fan, a 3rd gen 19 slide bite me good (1911, LC9, shield shooter). The gen 5 back strap is a game changer for me Again, even with you “Glock-glasses” on, you explain the pros and cons so well
I have viewed several reviews on the 365 X Macro but this is the most thorough. Great job Lenny. Looking forward to the range video. Appreciate the time you put into making the video and highlighting the features.
Appreciate you stepping out of the Glock box. I was a fan boy for years (still am) but sig s onto something and I have a few now and actually prefer them for concealed carry
Lenny I respect your review of the Sig. Honest, straightforward. You’ve been and continue to be a great ambassador for Glock but I’m getting the feeling that you may be considering starting a SigStore. Continued success my friend. I joke with love.
I tried both and you can't go wrong with either, we're conparing titans here. Love the honesty of the host and well I picked up the g43x at the end my hand liked it best but to be honest I wanted both!
The P365X Macro is a lot better. Just compare the triggers. No special glock rail. Beaver tail larger, no glock bite Metal sights. Night sites Take down lever is an "accelator" Holds 17 rounds I own both
Why do you think he made that ridiculous comment? Is he that in love with Glock to never bash them? Why can’t he just admit Glock isn’t some kind of god?
This was a fun video to watch. I own a Glock 43x MOS with a Holosun EPS carry, and the Sig X Macro, also with the EPS carry. For whatever reason, the Sig blows the 43x out of the water, for me anyway. I got the 43x first, and I loved the slim grip. When I got my hands on the Sig, I knew I had to have it. I wasn't disappointed. I also have a 48 and a 19 MOS. They all will remain in my stable.
I have a 43X and a 48 but carry my P365xl. The best part about about the sig is the modularity. I'm going to wait on the Wilson Combat X Macro grip module
Lenny, I have to say: you have outstanding videos!! Seriously, you have always put out extremely informative and highly detailed content. While I am not a 'Glock guy' per se', I do--very much--enjoy watching your material.
Both guns are really nice. I wish Glock had a double stack 9 as small as the 365. The 10+1 is why the p365 is my EDC. Glock is my choice for full size carry. G22
I love my Gen5 G22 .40 cal but it's tough to conceal.. I may need a Gen5 G27 next or try a G43X MOS I also picked up the Sig 365XL Spectre Comp recently.. Beautiful firearm from Sig's Custom Works Division.. The Spectre includes a barrel and trigger shoe coated with gold titanium nitride that has held up so far..The titanium nitride coating doesn't seem to affect my performance so far.. The laser stippling looks amazing and helps with muzzle flip..The slide serrations and integrated compensator kick ass and set this apart from the other models... Throw in Sig's upgrade to the Optics and you are ready to roll.. *I picked up the Romeo Zero to try but I'm enjoying the sights as is and haven't mounted the red dot yet*
@@gordo965 Why would you say that? Her might be 97, but as far as I have read, he still has the ultimate say in approving what direction product design takes. Once his particular points of view are not longer guiding the company, it is anybody’s guess where the company will go, and what kind of designs will be encouraged and approved.
I'm confused. SIG has developed a modular system where different slides, grips, and features can be interchanged to meet the individual's needs. Putting a longer or shorter grip on the SIG P365 .380 or the P365/P365X/P365XL 9mm, etc. seems more like "tailoring" rather than "copying." There is no national one size hand standard. Some folks are happy with 5 rounds, others want 17+ rounds. We're all different. Cheers
I know exactly what you mean. I own a decent number of handguns of varying sizes, calibers and capacities. I bought this Macro recently and it's okay. I mainly bought it for the Holosun green dot sight since the slide is ready for it to be mounted. My son loves these sights but I'm having trouble acclimating to them. Raising the gun doesn't always put the dot in view and sometimes I seem to lose the dot after a few recoils and have to reorient it. Strangely I don't notice doing this with iron sights if I do it at all, and I tend to be in the 8 and 9 circles even at 25 yards. In spite of all this, my go to handgun is the S&W 686P, with the 7" barrel. What I love about that revolver is that even with 7 rounds, I got several speed loaders and have myself reloading very quickly. Nowhere as fast as with magazines obviously, but still pretty effectively, I think. Best part is distance. Close range it's too easy to destroy the center of any target obviously. Take that target all the way out 50, 60 yards and I'm still nailing center mass for the most part. Haven't been able to set up a target past that yet, but I think it works as the perfect gun for close up, all the way out to where a rifle takes over. Amazing firearm for it's type and age.
Really like that you went the extra mile on some of the tech aspects. There seems as no other videos showed the removal and adding of the back straps. Some mentioned backstraps but never show a replacement of straps with gunsmithing tools . Thank you for going the extra mile Lenny . I have watched several of your videos and enjoy the presentation . I also purchased a battle belt for duty and used your video to make the proper adjustments . Just wanted to say thank you and keep making videos please .
I really like your practical advice. For example. Grip means everything. Anyone can point a gun and fire it one time and hit the target. You're a follow up shot however in a combat situation will be much different if you do not have a good grip on your gun. If you've only got two fingers on your gun versus all of your fingers. That makes a huge difference. Nobody ever points this stuff out. You do. Thank you. This is exactly why I love my Glock 19 X.
Great review. I have a G43, G43X, Hellcat Pro and now a p365 Macro. I like all 3. I went to the hellcat pro, as I wanted to use factory mags. The new Sig is really nice, and I've had zero functions with all 3.
@@brownhaddl3y After having all 3, they have good quality, reliability and aftermarket support of holsters, etc. Generally, I like the G43X, however, while the Sheild 15 magazines have been generally good, I preferred a factory 15 round option over aftermarket, which lead me to the hellcat pro. When the Sig 365 Macro came out and I held it, it became my favorite and the others as spares. It's a tough choice between my Staccato and 365 Maco for CCW. Lastly, the only issue with the 365 Marco was the magazine availability, however they are now in stock, and I have two on the way.
Having both. I tend to carry the hellcat over the sig. I like the stainless steel hellcat mags and have heard of instances of Rust on the Macro. I also have a light and RDS on the Marco and nothing on the Hellcat. I prefer it slick. ,@@arturopuebla4924
Just got my P365 XMacro and shot it this past week. It does remind me of the Glock 43X (my current carry). Not sure I like the comp. Not noticing a big difference in muzzle rise and with certain ammo, the flash out the top of the comp can be distracting. Can't beat the 17+1 rounds though. So, I'll likely take my P365 XL Specter (non-comp) slide and put it on the XMacro frame. Should be PERFECT!
I can’t stand Sig, but that setup with the Spectre is pretty rad, not gonna lie. I’d run it that way, too, as the comp can blind you all while decreasing velocity.
Exactly what I am thinking… but I may even try out the 17 round mag with baseplate instead. I love the laser engraving on the spectre so much I’d hate to lose it
Glock has been resting on it's laurels and dragging it's heels for DECADES, relying on military contracts and "pseudo-military" tactical wannabes. EVery time they change a SCREW they issue a new "generation".....and STILL ship with PLATIC SIGHTS AND MAGS....not hating on them as they'll never see a dime of MY money...just an honest observance
P365X is the top carry gun. U get a flush 12rd(14rd if u use mag guts) with flat face trigger. I get a full grip with the X and u keep the small compact conceal weapon. Same size as original 365 but lil longer frame so no 10rd mag 12 and 15rd. But flush 14rd with mag guts.
Folks, don't go to a "new and best" gun. I have a G17, bought in 1987, used. Tweaked it until I got it down to about a 11/2 pound trigger and shot it in a lot of competitions. Never let me down. The slide doesn't lock open any more but it never, never failed. I estimate that I fired about 10-15 thousand shots. Still perfect. Buy a reasonable gun, then practice until your finger bleeds. Go to a range and test the 2-3 guns you're interested in. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.
I used to carry a Sig 225 back in the 80's and early 90's. I cannot believe how much lighter the newer guns are... and how much higher capacity they have, for less size and weight!
As for accuracy, this gun is accurate if you put the effort into it. At a distance of 25 yards, shooting the Sig P365, I had to pay extra attention to the "Shooting Dynamics" for Precision Accuracy! First, my grip had to be high upon the back strap of the pistol, held very tight. Second, both "Sight Alignment" and "Trigger Control" had to be precise and smooth. By strictly following these stages, I finally was able to produce both a Five shot group of 2" along with a Ten shot group of 3.5" both from 25 yards, using Blazer 115gr fmj 9mm. All shooting was done using Two hands, standing unsupported (slow fire)!
I have Sig 365, 365XL, g43x and g48. Sig has more advantages on concealment due to its size. But the shooting experience, I prefer g43x and g48 mos. More soft and less recoil.
@@stephen_crumley Agreed. 43X is more snappy (muzzle rise) than 365XL, but better recoil control than 365XL. G48 MOS is a little bit batter than 365XL in all aspects but rounds capacity. Less than 4in barrel pistols, it is all about to same, just personal preference.
There are 15 round mags available for the 43x. With that said, the Sig 365xl is a nicer shooting pistol that offers an external safety option, an option that Glock refuses to offer the customer.
I own the subcompact p320, stand p365 and just got my p365x macro on friday and put 400 rounds through it yesterday. Great gun. I think I will enjoy it more with the romeozero elite. I carry my p320 have shot about 2000 rounds through it and have became very familiar with it. My p365x macro was firing lower than I expected and I didn't love the sights but that being said it could just be me being unfamiliar with them, over compensating because now all of my fingers fit on my grip and the compensator might have been messing with me a little bit. All in all I love the pistol. Can't wait for put a serious amount of rounds through it and get that optic on there. I have never owned an optic on a pistol besides my AR pistol but I am really excited about it. Also if anyone is curious the Sig p320 subcompact and the P365x macro are the same exact size with full slide length and length of the grip. The slide is just much thinner on the p365x macro. Need to find a nice IWB holster with a cutout for the optic.
Shane, I purchased my Sig X MACRO added a Sig Romeo Zero Elite and Streamlight TLR-7A light. I paired it with the T-REX holster that accommodates both red dot and light. Also added a sidecar for the extra mag. Added a T1C wedge for comfort and now carry my brand new X Macro comfortably. Good luck.
New subscriber here! Wanted to let you know I enjoyed watching, listening & learning from your very informative presentation. Thanks for taking the time and effort to make videos available to us out here who may need to acquire the kind of knowledge you provide without having to invest an inordinate about of time and/or money in order to sort things out in a timely fashion.
Glock can you please bring back c models bring back 357 sig to Gen 5 in slimline and double stack ;) remove those fs from all new models make a 5.7 Glock it’s time to innovate again !
Yes. The Sig Macro (excluding any unforeseen catastrophic issues with it in the future) outclasses the 43x. I have 6k rounds through my 43x and do really like it. I put trijicon HDs on it, SA15 mags, and a SA mag release. So this gun is largely unmodified. I had several FTE issues and issues with my slide not locking back (continuing issues)....the FTE issues are odd and are likely not an issue with my grip or the SA 15 mags- they are great. I was causing malfunctions before and fixed my grip to account for the small frame of the 43x...the slide not locking back is likely caused by my grip and location of the slide release. It is an issue I accept because the gun is small...go figure. That being said I still love my 43x. I've had my Sig Macro for about a week and only have about 600 rounds through it. That being said, no malfunctions, shoots great, and stock trigger is better than a 43x. Lots of options with grip backstraps, picatinny rail, and optics cut. The integrally compensated slide is nice too. The macro will be my new edc, but i'll still carry the 43x depending on the situation and necessity to carry something a bit smaller.
@Frank Bonazza III That may be true. I originally bought the 43x because it fit better in my hand than a 365. I am a proponent of shooting the gun that "fits you". Likewise, I knew I would have 15 +1 capacity with SA 15s....but you are right. It's BS that I had to buy after market mags in the first place....unfortunately, people who live in capacity-limited states need an option and I think the 43x fits that bill if the 365 grip isn't right for them. Ofourse people can buy pretty slick grip modules for Sigs if they have the money. That being said, I'm pretty sure my next handgun purchase will be a Sig ..and maybe even the one after that 😉
Lenny I was very disappointed when I saw the glock store had stop selling sig Sauer firearms, I had bought my last edc from the glock store and I’m still carrying it today (P320xcompact). Then a week after I bought what I intend to be an additional edc I come across this video comparing the glock 43x to the P365xmacro. Lenny I’ve owned seven glocks over time and I’m not adverse to say that glock makes a good firearm and many find glocks to be the best gun for them to own, but as for me they just don’t seem to me too well. The last Glock I owned a G30 SF was traded this past week for an Sig Sauer P365 X Macro and it will be an additional edc for me. I still enjoy your videos and if the Glock store ever decides to sell Sigs again I might be a customer again. Thanks
Thank you for the honest review. I've been a Glock guy for over 25 years, and own many. I'm so old, my conceal carry has been a G27 for many of those years. The CC world has made leaps and bounds progress in the last few years that I have been considering something new to carry. My buddy had an X-Macro Comp nicely setup and made me a heck of a deal. I felt like I was having an affair on my Glocks when I purchased this Sig! Did I make the right decision?!?! Who knows! I kept eyeing that 43x and just couldn't decide. I went with the Sig and was still on the fence UNTIL watching this video. Either one would've been a huge upgrade from my G27, but as you pointed out, it's hard to argue with the 17 round capacity, and that all so familiar Glock grip. No hatred towards Glock, just spreading some love :)
I bought the Macro, and my favorite set up is the Macro slide, Wilson Combat XL sized grip module, 12 round magazine with my 17 round magazine as a reload!
You're using the macro slide on an XL? The integrated compensater won't line up with the longer barrel? Your using it because its optics ready? @@chrish3274
They must give you some great discounts or paychecks to sit here with a straight face and compare these two models. I own both and just got back from the deer lease from shooting the Xmacro paired with the Holosun 507k in green and to be honest it’s going to be my main carry after some abuse on the range. The 43x has been a safe Queen for about two years now. Shooting the 43X at the range was fine, but when I trained with it and started to actually use it in fighting condition (tighter grip) the 43x started to chew on my hand. Neve would have noticed this without actually training vs shooting at a range.
A Sig feature Lenny didn't mention is the ease of changing the grip module. Have you already got a P365 XL? Then just buy a different grip module, pop out the fire control unit by removing one pin and drop it in the new grip! (Try to keep up Glock) Looking forward to the new SS/GS , Sig Sauer & Glock Store, opening in Texas!
Who wants to switch back and forth all the time? That's stupid. I want a dedicated gun for each purpose. So i go on vacation, and want a small gun for concealed carry and a larger gun for home defense (hotel, condo). You really expect me to swap the FCU into large frame, and then swap it back each morning when I go out? That's just absurd. Id rather take 2 guns dedicated for each purpose, and worst case scenario, I've got 2 guns in case one breaks, gets lost or stolen, or I need to arm another person with me. This whole FCU frame swap bs is nothing but a gimmick for gullible people that are easily influenced by marketing.
@@Watchdog_McCoy_5.7x28 I don't think I mentioned switching out grip modules daily, I just pointed out that it was an option. If a person decides to change the frame size on the P365 later, they don't have to get another gun or bother with trading theirs in.... I agree switching daily or even monthly is a bit ridiculous but I also think the ability to easily change the frame size is a good feature.
@@texas66 I don't hate the concept entirely, but I don't see the point in buying multiple frames without having an FCU for each frame. I don't want to swap frames each time I decide to use a different size gun, whether it be daily, weekly, monthly, etc. That's not even the worst thing about Sig either. They released a gun that fires when dropped, and drop safe guns have been made for decades upon decades already. Then instead of recalling them like a company that has integrity should do, they instead offer a voluntary "upgrade", as if the version that fires without pulling the trigger is still an acceptable alternative if you don't want to bother sending it in. That's downright disgusting. Their qc problems are getting ridiculous as well. The MPX (or was it the MCX?), the p320, the p365 breaking strikers (in a carry gun no less, marketed as a gun that you carry everyday in case you need to defend yourself from being killed). Then there's the Sig Cross that again would fire without the trigger being pulled. Then they just recalled some ammo that wasn't loaded properly and could cause a squib which is very dangerous as well. Innovation is cool, when quality control isn't sacrificed in the process. I'm a quality control engineer in the nuclear industry, so I have a little experience in quality control and I speak from experience. Sig is just cutting corners in an attempt to takeover the market, and putting real lives in danger in the process. There's not a chance in hell I'd ever buy anything made by Sig in these days. I value my life, and those around me, and therefore I can't justify having any Sig products around me, and they aren't allowed on my personal shooting range either (after a friends p320 fired when sitting on the table without anyone even touching the gun, and then the Sig Cross he had would fire when you touched the bolt handle) unless they were made before Sig USA got involved. Maybe I'd be a bigger fan of the FCU concept if a company that values quality over profits and market shares started making them, instead of a company that has someone pulling strings for them to get government contracts. How do you suppose they beat Glock by 100 million dollars (or whatever ridiculously cheaper amount it was) in the last handgun trials? They sacrificed quality control, and they jacked up the prices for consumers as well to offset them basically giving away the guns to the government. You can't be that much cheaper without cutting corners, and my experience in quality control is what gives me the expertise and discernment to see what's going on. Sig has spread themselves too thin by expanding into other markets too fast (guns, optics, ammo, etc.), and they allowed their reputation for excellent quality to drop, all in the name of that Almighty Dollar, and that's unforgivable imo, whether they make innovative products or not, it's irrelevant to me because I lost trust in the products working as they are supposed to. Most people aren't enthusiasts like myself, and will get talked into jumping on the wagon by their local gun store salesmen that could care less about selling you a quality product, and by youtube shills that are bought and paid for to advertise Sig products as if they are the gold standard, when the evidence says otherwise. The FCU is still a gimmick that serves as nothing more than a selling point. Of all the people I know that have a Sig that uses an FCU, not a single one ever actually uses it as it was intended. They still go and buy another complete gun instead of swapping frames, because like I said before, they don't want multiple frames sitting around that are useless when the FCU is in another frame. The only legitimate swap I could see is where you can swap the hangun FCU into a carbine, but then it's still the same problem where you can only shoot one or the other, and the price savings from not having to buy another FCU is still not enough to make it a great choice when you can buy a complete gun for just a few hundred bucks extra. It's an idea that sounds great, but isn't actually as useful in the real world as people think it will be. Then to top it off, the qc is garbage, so why would I want to go buy an FCU, and multiple frames, for a gun that's made by a company that can't even make a gun that doesn't fire without pulling the trigger... Sig of old is long gone, and the old Sigs I have are excellent, and I would never sell them, but I'm not buying anything they make nowadays, where quality is nothing but an afterthought to this company. They should be ashamed to even use the Sig name, because they aren't representative of what Sig was before they stopped making guns over in Germany. They are merely riding the coattails of the glory days when Sig was a top tier manufacturer. Sorry about the rant, but I'm absolutely disgusted with the present day version of what was formerly one of the greatest gun manufacturers in the world. It's actually a problem because of America and the lazy, entitled attitudes of American employees. Im a Glock fan admittedly, but i won't buy a Glock made in the USA either, because Americans have gotten lazy and make terrible products. The only Glock that ever gave me any problems whatsoever was a g43 made in America, and it's sitting in the safe collecting dust because I can't in good conscience sell it to anyone knowing it's a hunk of junk. Have a good one though, and do as you please. I just truly want people to make informed decisions and not get suckered into marketing gimmicks and poor quality because they see everyone else doing the same thing. ✌️
@@texas66 it’s so damn easy I wouldn’t mind switching it daily it’s just that easy. Takes less than a minute. But what I do is I have two different slide assemblies, the xl and the x. Instead of having two separate guns for “summer carry” and “winter carry” I just change the slide assembly I don’t even need to swap out the fcu unless I want to change grip module but I stick with the normal xl grip module.
I just got my first Sig . P365xl . After buying several guns and learning just about what I want. I hope this my best choice. Wish I had found the Glock store a long ago. I am 73 and a woman. New to the gun world. And found a wonderful trainer
Linny my friend. I’m damn near 70 years old and been scouring the stores and Internet for a handgun “I want to shoot for FUN” versus what I was assigned for 30 plus years as a work tool. Two days ago, I rented a 43X and a Sig 365 Uncompensated for evaluation purposes. 43 Hurt my hand the recoil was overly excessive to my hand grip. Granted, I am not in the best physical shape, Also I’ve been sick the last 15 years And just now decided I want to shoot for fun and sport yet at the same time have a close-up defensive gun just in case. As soon as I shot the SIG 365 I knew I found the right handgun. After about 10 rounds through the SIG I went right back into the main store and they sold me a Sig Sauer 365X with the factory compensator. I’m in love what can I say? ❤
My G-17 is basically a brick on top of an angled brick....and I love it. It's reliable, light enough, fits good in my paws. Maybe my wife will be interested in this new Sig P365 X. Although ...I'm a retrograde, I used to carry a German-made Makarov for many years.
@@OneD33pTX Well, many moons ago I carried a PM in Ukrainian Army, naturally, it was soviet-made. Here, in the States, I sort of wanted to stick with what I new - a PM, but didn't want anything russian, so I got me a German PM. The only difference is quality of German work.
@@bask1876 I’m sorry if it sounds like I am saying Sig isn’t reliable.. it wasn’t my intention. I just know my Glocks and all of my other friends glocks have never failed. I have never shot or owned a Sig, so my comment is extremely bias.
I’m a huge Sig fan. Have been since the early 90’s. I bought a P365XL and an X Macro Comp within a month of each other just recently. Both had malfunctions out of the box, brand new. The Macro fired 5 shots before a fte. The XL had a fte after the first shot. I ran two brands and grains of ammo. Same issues. I bought a G43X MOS new to replace them as a ccw. The rear plastic sight was installed wrong so I fixed that. No biggie as night sights have shipped for it. But it ran both ammos without a hiccup. The Sigs are in the boxes in the safe until the buyers remorse wanes and I feel like dealing with it. So the high capacity of my Sigs were negated by malfunctions. I’d rather have 11 for sure, than 13 or 18 in theory. I have to have complete confidence in my carry gun…so as it stands, the XL capacity is 1 round and the Macro is 5 :-(
Hey Lenny McGill, good to see that you’re making videos again, haven’t seen one for a while, I have the Sigg P3 65 XL which I bought about four years ago, not really thinking about buying the new mackerel ( lol) macro , up to a little more than two maybe I don’t even think it’s been three years ago, I had never considered a glock, I was kind of one of those anti-Glock guys, of course in the past two years I’ve come to love them, and I now own, 10 glocks two 26s , A Glock 20 and a Glock 21, a Glock 22, and two Glock 17’s, and two Glock 19’s, my Glock 27, so that is how much I’ve come to love them, what I love about them mostly is their simplicity, and their dependability, I still love my SIGs I have a Sigg 226, , a Sig 220 , a Sig 229 legion , p238 , I love those pistols too , it’s just that now in the past couple years I’ve become a Glock fan boy too , maybe I’ll get one of the macros? Just not in my budget now,
Lenny is an icon! Great comparison and run down. Appreciate how honest Larry is about the innovations and engineering by Sig. I hope Glock and other competitors take note and get back to R&D to compete and drive the products even further. I switched my carry from Glock 23 (converted to 9mm w/ Lone Wolf) to Sig P365XL RomeoZero about a year ago. Main reason is the Sig is so thin, it carries great appendix without giving up capacity. Both shoot great and I won't get rid of the Glock anytime soon. It's been with me for over 15 years.
Long time Glock fan and user. Where glock dropped the ball is the capacity of the 43x and 43. I own a 43 and it's a whopping 6+1. A g26 is just a little wider and almost double the rounds. Sig hit this one out the park.
All of my friends who own the glock and the sig end up carrying the 43x, myself included. We’ve talked about why and it comes down to the natural point of aim from the grip angle and the recoil recovery seems better on the Glock. I use the 15 round shield arms mags and have never had an Issue.
I like the Glock's safety systems more: * Glock striker is only half cocked when loaded/chambered - generally not enough energy to ignite a primer if all other safeties fail. That is why the Glock has a tougher trigger pull, its the cost of this failsafe. * The firing pin/striker safety is independent from the sear on the Glock, vs having the striker safety on the same striker protrusion as the sears (Single point of failure). If the sig's striker breaks at the rear lug, all in battery safeties are defeated and the gun will discharge. Extremely unlikely that this happens because it is a strong part, but does require proper manufacture (MIM part). * Glock has a safety ledge that prevents the cruciform from depressing and releasing sear when the trigger is not pressed to the rear. This would prevent the sear from slipping under a drop on the top of the slide or other failures. * Has an inertial trigger safety (the two piece trigger) that prevents the trigger from depressing on impact due to momentum. Sig has a different sear release mechanism for the trigger that makes it safe without a trigger safety, and also has a secondary sear if the first slips or breaks. * Both have solid in battery safeties, so that the trigger cannot release until the gun is properly locked. From the operator perspective, I like the Sig more: * Safer maintenance: No trigger press to disassemble. * Smoother trigger: Trigger does not have to cock the striker * Modular Fire Control Unit: Replace banged up grip frames, or upgrade to different types of frames with different mag options I don't think the Sig is unsafe, and I don't think the Glock is hard to use/operate. They're both great choices.
I shot the 43x and the 365xl macro at the range yesterday. I have previously shot all the sigs, hellcats, etc. when they came out and didn't like any of them. I actually purchased the Hellcat Pro because it was bigger, had greater capacity, etc., but I hated it and sold it. I am not a Glock fan, but I found the 43x to be the best fitting in my hands, the least snappy, least recoil sensitive of all those firearms. And the "bad" Glock trigger of past years was no where to be found. I intend to make the 43x my next purchase for concealed carry. Thanks for your vids.
Question: If you had ONE bullet and did not know the grain or manufacturer of the round and had to shoot it in order to save your life, would you pick the Sig or a Glock? Here's my thoughts (and the reason I carry a Glock). Of all my firearms, if I was 100 miles from home and in a pressure situation and had to use somebody else's ammo or buy shit ammo from a Walmart in bumfuck, I would trust my Glock to shoot it the most. I can't tell you how many times I've shot reman or shitty rounds that jammed some of my other guns but NOT my Glocks.
I take it you never owed a HK? My HKs runs my Glocks in the ground. I don't have to break my wrist over bubble to get on point. Never understood how anyone really likes the grip angel of Glocks.
The Glocks I have had more problems then any other of my guns. Just last week multiple failures to feed. Failure to go back in to battery. And my Glock 43 also had multiple failures to feed over 500 rounds. I trust my Glocks way less than my Smith, Taurus, or Springfield which have had 0 failures from thousands of rounds.
@@Lq32332 One of my very first Glocks was a model 45 Gen 5 9mm. I was told the Gen 5s where the best Glock to date by a number of people. All I have to say is this is the best yet, I am very thankful I waited many, many years to get one. Right out of the box failure to feed. My son made fun of my and asked why a Glock Dad. After trying 3 mags I took the gun down and found the spring on the guide rod winding off the end of the guide rod. OUT OF THE BOX. When I tell of Glocks I tell from having a number of them. Back in the day 1980s they where something new and took off. Sadly the very same guns are being put out today with very little updates. All of my Glocks came with 6-7 pound triggers. I changed all of them to the Timney triggers just to get what should come out of the box. I have over 40 handguns and my Glocks come in at the low end of them all. They are the most over rated guns on the market.
I liked the 43 when I shot it about 1.5 years ago. I checked it out because I have a G3 19 and love it. The 19 is just bulky to carry but not terrible. Last week I bought a P365X and I love it. Now that the 43X is out I'm buying that too because it now has the higher capacity mag with MOS. I love both of them.
@@Seasniffer1969 Its more than just that. The 43 is smaller and more compact and has a 6rd mag. The 43x has a different radius as well as a 10rd mag. There are some other tiny differences as well that come along with updates to the generation differences.
@@Seasniffer1969 Oh well i must have misunderstood your reasoning for the comment then. I spoke about the 43 and the 43x in my original comment. Seemed like you were adding to my comparison of the two.
Lenny, You are the man! Your videos are always very informative, with a lot of great insight. Thank you for your content. I wish yall had a store in Houston.
I hear you, but considering how bad the MOS system is, I still prefer to buy non-optic ready slides, and send them off to be milled. The only time I’ve purchased an MOS Glock was the 43X and 48, and that was just for the light rail on the frame. I sent both of those off to CHPWS to be milled for the RMR cc and they both turned out great.
People that never owned a Glock like them bone stock orginal look no cuts and nothings wrong with that like bro said just send the slide off to get a proprietary cut for the forever optic on that gun and your good
@@OneD33pTX Optics on a micro carry gun is not needed. In a self defense shooting up close you are going to point and shoot. Usually not enough time to even look at the irons. I train for that.
Nice guns. I prefer the G26 with a Pearce Grips PG-26 grip extension as it's easier to conceal and easier to control with +P and +P+ ammo than the 3 oz lighter P365XL and G43X and can use Glock 15, 17, 24 and 33 round mags. Loved Glocks since I tried a G17 in the 1980s.
@@nilaypatel302 he missed a comma.., what he meant was that for his hands the g26 is easier to control than the g43x or the 365. Also, the g26 can utilize all the Glock double stack mags. If the width isn’t an issue than the 26 has been and still is a great gun. Sig is wining because of the width and also the modularity. You can’t throw a Glock 19 slide on a 26 grip or a 26 slide on the 19 grip; but you could own a p365 and an xmacro (or 365 xl) and piece together the combination you want that day. The 43x and 48 slides are interchangeable but the 43 isn’t. Hence why the SA Glock 43 mags are nothing special since they aren’t flush. But like you mentioned, after market stuff isn’t as great as coming out of the box with it. Edit: you just made me realize what shield arms did wrong. In college I had a management major and I made a business based on doing what sa failed to do. So when I sa released their non flush mag, I thought that my whole fake company would’ve failed. The problem is that sa made a great s15 mag. What they needed to do was release a 43x/48 frame that was cut down. Allow the frame to take a shortened version of the s15 that was a flush 10rd that could also take a s15 mag.
@@pjp7259 no need for a major change to the Glock 17… there has been plenty of new guns since then. The problem is actually very recent, that being they didn’t make the 43 and 43x mag compatible.
If you consider this real information your a fool this man is being paid to bash a pistol he knows deep down in his soul is far superior to any Glock made listen to his voice break and crack and pause briefly as he lies what a joke
I’m with ya, I recently started following the channel and buying my first Glock in about a month I’ve chosen gen 3 Glock 17,,, 😎👍( I live in California) seems like Glock is the go too in this state 💯 we don’t have much options 🤦♂️
Been a Glock guy for years but the new p365 x macro tacops is awesome you get 4 17 round mags a flared magwell optics cut for 750 before tax compared to the 600+ I paid in full for my 19x and I got 3 mags 1 17 and 2 19 round but only 2 if you get a normal Glock the sig is more concealable with high compacity and an awesome gun still have and keep my Glock in the truck for a back up gun but sig is doing some awesome things over the last couple years
"I carry either the Gock 30, early gen. 45 cal, with a rod quide laser or the Sig P228 9mm cal with a grip laser and i do not find myself hadicaped ..therefore i see no need to re-spend serious money on a NOT needed so-called up grade...both guns tiggers have been lightened and have had their barrels throated to avoid any missfires....Thank you for your well done video and my compliments to Glock and Sig"….
I'm glad sig is innovating. I love glocks but we are talking about a design that's 40 years old. All guns are pretty reliable so the reliability comparison (glock perfection) is somewhat of a wash. Glock doesn't have anything in the concealed carry department that touches the P365 line. With that said I love how full sized glocks shoot. I just find the 43 and 48 to be old and in need of an update. The handle on the 43x is ridiculously long compared to the 365.
I got a g43x and I tried before both (p365x) and yes, I admit is too long I wish it was 1cm shorter at least for better conceal, even so I'm happy with my purchase.
@@kwik2hear915 so many guns do man…. I’ve had a Cz p10 that’s never failed. I’ve had an mp shield that runs like a Toyota. I don’t think that can exactly be a selling point anymore
I started acquiring sig Sauer pistols. Still find Walthers to point better for me. But I find I still do better with sig p320 and p365xl than glocks of any variant. I wonder of Sig will be enough market pressure on Glock to potentially buy out Shield and make their shield mags an OEM option. I think it's what glock needs to compete with SIG and the springfield hellcat.
Glock has reliability won hands down which is all that matters for a CCW pistol. Sig has had too many reliability issues over the years (in particular with the 365) that it doesn't matter how well the gun points or shoots for you if it fails when you need it.
I’m a Walther guy. The fit in my hand and the trigger with just how it points naturally. I have a PPQ Q5 match, PPS M2, and the PPQ sc. I do like that new Macro. But knowing me I’ll probably get the PDP F series.
@@dilldowschwagginz2674 unfortunately, tried an SP01 in hand, found the controls hard to reach for my medium/large sized hands. Bought a bunch of PDP and P320 mags before my state banned new acquisitions of anything over 10 round capacity.
I like how he goes on about how accurate the trigger weight gage he uses is….then proceeds to shake the pistols and uses things like “eh it’s in that ballpark” 😂
You're the only person I have seen that says Glocks point naturally. That's one of the things that the P80 fixed. The Macro X is excellent, but I still love a 19.
The Sig is a nice firearm and it has many nice features. I still prefer the Glock 43X MOS. It conceals well and has the right capacity and features I want. I'm picky when it comes to sights so even with the Sig I would want to change them to an i-dot set from ameriglo. For me the Glock 43X MOS with a streamlight TLR6 and Holosun Green Dot are the perfect conceal carry option. If I want more capacity I would carry my Gen 5 Glock 19 MOS, which is great for autumn and winter. I live in Florida though, so when it's really hot all you'll want to carry is a Ruger LCP Max, since it's very small and can be pocket carried.
@@thomasmacgruber6701 Due to the size, you're not getting 18 rounds into a pistol like this. Glock chose ten rounds since it provides the most rounds and still retains functional reliability. Rounds aligned in a row, will always be more reliable than a staggered configuration. If you move to a double stack, then you're making the pistol wider, and the point of the Glock 43X is to be thin and easy to conceal while still allowing a full grip. If you want more rounds, then move to a different pistol. It may not have the same reliability or concealability though.
Good video Lenny. You missed a great feature of the Glock by misunderstanding how the Sig (and every other striker fired) operating system works. You said the trigger take-up pulls the striker back. That ONLY happens with Glocks. Sig, and all others, are truly single action. The striker spring is at FULL tension, waiting for the trigger to release a sear. So, not only is the Glock OS safer, it also has way fewer parts. The ingenious simplicity of Glock is what sets it apart, and nobody ever talks about how the striker fired weapons are so vastly different than Glock. I’ve carried a Sig p229 for years, but the new striker fired Sigs (while revolutionary in many aspects) have operating systems that are over-engineered, overly complicated, and inferior to Glocks according to physics.
i agree, every time i take apart a sig product i think to myself, "yeah, i guess TECHNICALLY you can do it this way, but have no idea why anyone would CHOOSE to do it this way to begin with...,"
I would agree. I'm not a gun expert but I've always loved handguns. I don't love or hate them. The Glock conversation is a funny thing as we all know. Again, not an expert, and yeah I agree they maybe should innovate with things like sights and mag capacity, but it's not for no reason they have the reputation they do for being so reliable, simple and easy to work on. Not to mention the aftermarket support which speaks volumes by itself. Perhaps Gaston has known what he's been doing since he started it all.
I expect yo to have a “Glock slant” on things as you should as you are GS…lol…but I was surprised with your candor talking about the Sig. I have a G45 and G43X but will be buying the Sig P365xMacro….they are both great guns - luckily for me, my wife wants my G43x so I’m ‘forced’ to buy me a SP365CMacro….LOL
I have a Glock in my rotation & I’m not a fan of Glock’s grip angle. I recently picked up a Shadow Systems XR920 & it definitely fixed the grip angle for me. Had I not gotten the P320 Spectre Comp I may have gotten the 365 X Macro, I’ve heard quite a few good things about it
Haven't shot the newest Sig yet, but have shot the 365XL, the G43X, and G48. All three of these guns shoot well. The Sig XL is really nice right out of the box, it doesn't really need to be messed with. For me, the two Glocks immediately need new sights, and some trigger tuning. Add SA 15rd mags, and they're good to go. We will end up spending more time and money on the Glocks to make them how we want them, but it's really fun to do, and the result is rewarding. If I could only afford one of these three guns in stock form, it would be the Sig XL, it's the most bang for the buck.

@Omar Slim I havent had any issues with mine though I am aware some people were having some problems.
I've never been a glock guy. But I have to tell you having a glock channel give another brand's model a good review is very commendable.
I’ll preface by saying I’ve been a Glock fan for years and own several models along with other brands as well. With all due respect, the notion that Sig copied Glock is almost laughable. Sig changed the game when they released the P365 and have continued to offer new variants since, with modern features that have set industry standards and market trends. Glock has always been slow to change and offer innovation. If anyone should be looking to copy another brand, I’d say Glock would be wise to start copying Sig. Sig clearly isn’t here to take part, they’re here to take over and don’t seem to be slowing down one bit.
Sig Sauer didn't "copy" GLOCK with their all metal frame Classic P-Series pistols but "SIG NH USA" most certainly did in every way from the striker fired design to the polymer frame. To say anything is a "GLOCK Killer" is pretty obtuse and comical. They all come and they all go eventually. So far nobody has been able to replicate what makes a GLOCK great yet! IMO, Sig should go back to Sig Sauer and start making their classic legacy pistols full production instead of limited runs once again. It's what put them on the map P-220, P-226/Mk25, P-228/M11A1, P-229 etc etc etc. This polymer fad will pass and then everybody will be scrambling for the next big "GLOCK Killer" that never happens.
"GLOCK Killers" like Springfield Armory XD/XDm, S&W M&P and all variants etc etc. They didn't "kill" anything....in fact you can't hardily give them away these days.
@@JohnDoeEagle1 Let me say again that I’m a Glock fan and they make my favorite pistols. There are many guns now days that compete with or surpass Glock in terms of reliability, accuracy, ergonomics and standard modern features, to the point where saying Glock is the best at anything is a subjective opinion. You said “Glock killer,” not me. I’m simply making the point that Sig didn’t copy Glock in this case by lowering the bore axis, a goal for any handgun design, and that if Glock wants to maintain their dominance, they’d be wise to catch up to what other manufacturers, Sig especially, are offering as standard features for the same or less money. Glock is well known for being slow to change and it’s only a matter of time before they’re overshadowed by companies that are striving to push innovation. I’ll support my assertion by pointing out the P320 government contract, civilian sales numbers of guns like the 320 and 365 and the fact that Sig is constantly offering new and fresh variants of these guns.
@@JohnDoeEagle1 actually H&K made the first polymer striker fired pistol in 1970 "vp70" and several after that glock didn't even start for 9 more years, if I were to entertain your argument I'd say that sig copied the styer m9 pistols not the "block"
@@JohnDoeEagle1 no one has been able to replicate what makes Glock so great? No one is replicating Glock, they have all surpassed Glock. Most of the major pistol manufacturers produce pistols with better ergos better triggers and better magazine releases. Walther, Sig, S&W, HK, Steyr, CZ all superior to what Glock offers.
Glock makes an excellent pistol the problem is they never evolved.
This, is the best review. Hitting all the points I want to hear. I haven’t heard anyone else go in this much detail. No excess yapping. Just speaking with purpose. Made it nice to watch. No long pauses and slow talk 😂
I’ve ran glocks my entire adult life. Basically every generation of 19 and 23’s.
Tried a macro out at the local ffl/range and left with a new one. It’s a fantastic little weapon. Great ergonomics, flat shooter, with a good holster it tucks away even under a t shirt and it holds 17 rounds. Sig knocked it out of the park with the macro.
Holsters and magazines are a little challenging to obtain but that’s every new platform. It’ll get better.
@Mtown Bound sounds like a hater
@mtownboundlol you must be new to guns because it wasnt even this model that went off clown. But nice try
Harry's....
I totally disagree, I’ve shot the Hellcat and the P365 too much recoil.
The G26 shoots awesome. Yesterday I was shooting my G26 and my CZ P10C. And my honest opinion, I was shooting the G26 better.
Hands down 26 for me but everyone is different.
I'm so excited to get one man. I haven't got one yet
Honestly Glock has been left behind with the x-macro. Sig listened to what people want: Full dust cover w/ picatinny, a flat face trigger, slim frame full size grip, optics ready for the holosun k footprint, and *17+1* capacity. I dont think Glock will have an answer for this for another 5 years.

I'm glad to see Lenny still doing videos and keepin on. In an ever changing world and society, it's good to see good video presenters from the past doing QUALITY videos. Well done Lenny, keep up the great work. Thanks!
I have both P365X Macro and G43X MOS, both have red dots shoot great but I prefer the Macros feel over the G43X
They are better guns, and lenny canr sell more shit. That is what he hates anout Sig. Buy the way Sig is spying on his videos.
Can u put extended mags and custom both of them?
What’s the difference? Smaller?? Please enlighten me
@@Sjcole2014 I feel that I grip the P365 better and it has a better trigger out of the box. P365 also comes with a 17rd mag vs. the 10 rd of the G43X
I'm a diehard Glock fan but I've been really impressed by what Sig's been doing these last few years. On the innovation front, they're miles ahead of Glock. The 43X can literally fit 15 rounds already, they just don't sell a mag without a thick polymer wall for some bizarre reason, so it's stuck as a single stack unless you buy aftermarket mags. As much as I like Glock, it's time they look at other brands and start doing a little "copying" themselves.
I have to admin, as a die hard Glock fan, Im REALLY diggin the 365 macro. 17 ROUNDS?!?! and optic ready?? Sheesh! Its hard to make a case for Glock at this point.

Sig changed the game with the introduction of the p365. They made a lot of people move from a g19 down to a fully compact gun.
Then why is the Glock 19 still one of the top 5 selling handguns still? Hmmm? Lol

The p 365 and 320 was the 1 and 2 most sold guns
People have been complaining for years that Glock needed to do something about magazine capacity, but sadly Sig beat Glock to it.
Sadly? SIG has always been second to none. Why do you think the US Navy Seals preferred the p226 to the 92fs. The bean counters made the change to Glock. The same as my Dept went from S&W to them. They are cheap for Law Enforcement Departments to buy compared to SIG or HnK or S&W.
@@DS..69 I like Sig, I’ve just always been a Glock fanboy of sorts. I own a 365XL and a 365X Macro, phenomenal guns. I also have a G17, G19, and a G48, which I dearly love. Glock could’ve done a better job with magazine capacity on their slim lines though for sure.
@@chrisharris9710 yeah. I love my 48. Don’t use my Sigs much for actual carry. Like the PC shield plus and the 48 way more to carry.
@@hombredeflorida4430 not even in the same league.
If shield arms can get the failure to feed issues lined out with the S15 mags Glock 43x will be dope. Be nice if glock would make proprietary metal mags for the 43x/48
Just bought a 43X and saw it today, a Sig Macro was in store also, felt awesome, 17 rounds, amazing design. I’m very impressed with what Sig is doing personally.
Why did you end up going with the 43x? Im between the 2
@@cmdbr
To be honest, the 43X was already purchased, and I was there to pick it up when a Macro was in the store as a new arrival, the guys behind the counter was trying to convince me to send back the 43X and buy the Macro, put it in my hand and it felt great, the thing is it was $800+ and I didn’t want to spend that kind of money in which I had got a great deal on the Glock anyway and have a few Glocks and was pretty confident in it.
I believe in the buy once cry once element, buy exactly what you want if that’s your only option, but if you have intentions on having other options buy what’s convenient for you at the time, until you can grab the other.
@@wailers1999 I am with you Brother, the SIG products are a bit pricey, and manufacturers are prudent to upcharge for quality. Now that it is November of 2023, I am happy to report that the SIG Macro prices are coming down to a more reasonable price point. As they introduce new/upgraded offerings, the slightly older ones will lose the super-shine.
Great review! Carried a Glock many years on the street but I'm sold on the Sig P365 for a concealed carry weapon. Its just an awesome weapon all the way around!
Years ago I was in sales for a moment. I learned a lot during that time that I try to keep in mind. Though Lennie is a solid Glock-guy (as am I), he is giving SIG kudos for their product. One of the things we should keep in mind is to never insult the intelligence, or choices of the customer. Just because you are selling Chevys, it's not a good idea to knock Toyotas. Thanks for a great video and for keeping an open mind regarding the competition. Ultra-Mega-MAGA
Heh… that’s exactly what the Dems did in the last election… continually insulting the intelligence and choices of their customers… how many prominent lefties have been pushed from the party because they weren’t pure enough.
Nice that you put both of these units head to head. I love both of them for different reasons. I have a 365X SAS on my motorcycle mounted in the saddlebagbag. Easy to grab and pocket with a sticky holster and take anywhere while we are out riding. My EDC is the 43X MOS with a red dot on it.
They both work well and i honestly like the way the Sig shoots a little better.
I was thinking about getting the G43x mos but he just sold me on the Sig. BIG TIME!👍
I have loved Glock for a long time. I carried my g19 for the last 7 years. I just picked up the X Macro a month ago and have about 600 rounds through it and love it. I can shoot blocks well but the grip angle and girth of it never felt great in my smaller hands. The X with the largest back strap feels amazing.
100% and Sig is a modular design so what he's saying makes no sense. Glock finally made a cut slide option and they charge so much more for it. Sigs sights are bad ass too, trigger, match barrel I mean Sig is literally better then the Block in ever aspect and every part! Think how much Glock would charge for all u get with the X Macro!? Cut slide, night sights, metal mags, cut slide, flat face trigger, match barrel they would charge $1700!!
17+1 for the sig vs 10+1 for the 43x is a big deal! I also wish glock did integral compensators! But good on you for mentioning the pros and cons of both!
Got rid of my 43x and went to the X Macro about 6 months ago and haven’t regretted anything about the decision.
I have both and simply put, I love both. They are both great CCW weapons. Great video!
Me too.
I’ve been a Glock fanboy for over 20 years. My G17 and G26 are my SHTF “phased plasma rifles” go-to pistols…. Until I got a Sig P356 XL. Sorry, but Glock needs to seriously step up they game, because Sig and the 365 family are coming from their crown. Sig’s basic 365 come with more standard features, that would cost you hundreds of dollars in accessories to equip a Glock.
Sig is becoming my go-to, sorry Glock.
BdogFinal14 The very reason Lenny has made it so big with Glock is the first thing people do when they get one is replace the frame, slide, barrel, trigger and guide rod. Glock is very well known for the worst grip angel on any handgun. The point of aim is horrible. I have a number of Glocks and they are just OK out of 30+ handguns I have. The P 80s at least changed the grip angel to what it should be. IMO
@Clay Pylant 365 XL Macro…?
@@alant5757 you can put an xl slide and barrel on the x macro grip module you can also use the 17 rd mags on an xl. I also like how he said sig copied what glock did with the 43 and 43 x with the x macro, but the sig xl and x both existed prior to this. I think the new sog mags and grip module will be more popular to sig shooters in the long run
@Clay Pylant That's why I went with the 365 XL. I don't care the maker of a gun. I refuse to have one with my little finger hanging off the end of the grip. I am not going to buy a mag to make it fit my hand. For some the grip my be to narrow for their liking. I can't deal with a short grip.
Sit already took the crown. It was a coup d’etat.
Thank for giving your opinions. I enjoy hearing you pros and cons. I got my 1st Glock last year. It took me 20 years to get one. I wasn’t a fan, a 3rd gen 19 slide bite me good (1911, LC9, shield shooter). The gen 5 back strap is a game changer for me
Again, even with you “Glock-glasses” on, you explain the pros and cons so well
I have viewed several reviews on the 365 X Macro but this is the most thorough. Great job Lenny. Looking forward to the range video. Appreciate the time you put into making the video and highlighting the features.
Most thorough? More like most bias lol
Appreciate you stepping out of the Glock box. I was a fan boy for years (still am) but sig s onto something and I have a few now and actually prefer them for concealed carry
Lenny I respect your review of the Sig. Honest, straightforward. You’ve been and continue to be a great ambassador for Glock but I’m getting the feeling that you may be considering starting a SigStore. Continued success my friend. I joke with love.
I tried both and you can't go wrong with either, we're conparing titans here. Love the honesty of the host and well I picked up the g43x at the end my hand liked it best but to be honest I wanted both!
The P365X Macro is a lot better.
Just compare the triggers.
No special glock rail.
Beaver tail larger, no glock bite
Metal sights. Night sites
Take down lever is an "accelator"
Holds 17 rounds

Yea, that made me laugh when he claimed Sig is copying.
@@masterofreality230 same lol
@@masterofreality230 yea. Sig must have watched his videos and designed based off low bore axis like Glock. Not like the 365 is the same slide height.
Why do you think he made that ridiculous comment? Is he that in love with Glock to never bash them? Why can’t he just admit Glock isn’t some kind of god?
@@JSANCHE5 His job
This was a fun video to watch. I own a Glock 43x MOS with a Holosun EPS carry, and the Sig X Macro, also with the EPS carry. For whatever reason, the Sig blows the 43x out of the water, for me anyway. I got the 43x first, and I loved the slim grip. When I got my hands on the Sig, I knew I had to have it. I wasn't disappointed. I also have a 48 and a 19 MOS. They all will remain in my stable.
I have really small hands??
I have a 43X and a 48 but carry my P365xl. The best part about about the sig is the modularity. I'm going to wait on the Wilson Combat X Macro grip module
Lenny, I have to say: you have outstanding videos!! Seriously, you have always put out extremely informative and highly detailed content. While I am not a 'Glock guy' per se', I do--very much--enjoy watching your material.
I just got my 43x MOS about 3 weeks ago... first time I got to shoot it I fell in love with it! Great little gun.
Both guns are really nice. I wish Glock had a double stack 9 as small as the 365. The 10+1 is why the p365 is my EDC. Glock is my choice for full size carry. G22
I love my Gen5 G22 .40 cal but it's tough to conceal..
I may need a Gen5 G27 next or try a G43X MOS
I also picked up the Sig 365XL Spectre Comp recently..
Beautiful firearm from Sig's Custom Works Division..
The Spectre includes a barrel and trigger shoe coated with gold titanium nitride that has held up so far..The titanium nitride coating doesn't seem to affect my performance so far..
The laser stippling looks amazing and helps with muzzle flip..The slide serrations and integrated compensator kick ass and set this apart from the other models...
Throw in Sig's upgrade to the Optics and you are ready to roll..
*I picked up the Romeo Zero to try but I'm enjoying the sights as is and haven't mounted the red dot yet*
Not to be morbid, but how old is Gaston Glock? It will be interesting to see where the company goes once he goes.
@@fordhouse8b Since he just turned 97, it's safe to say that nothing will change when he goes.
@@gordo965 Why would you say that? Her might be 97, but as far as I have read, he still has the ultimate say in approving what direction product design takes. Once his particular points of view are not longer guiding the company, it is anybody’s guess where the company will go, and what kind of designs will be encouraged and approved.
I'm confused. SIG has developed a modular system where different slides, grips, and features can be interchanged to meet the individual's needs. Putting a longer or shorter grip on the SIG P365 .380 or the P365/P365X/P365XL 9mm, etc. seems more like "tailoring" rather than "copying." There is no national one size hand standard.
Some folks are happy with 5 rounds, others want 17+ rounds. We're all different.
Cheers
I know exactly what you mean. I own a decent number of handguns of varying sizes, calibers and capacities. I bought this Macro recently and it's okay. I mainly bought it for the Holosun green dot sight since the slide is ready for it to be mounted. My son loves these sights but I'm having trouble acclimating to them. Raising the gun doesn't always put the dot in view and sometimes I seem to lose the dot after a few recoils and have to reorient it. Strangely I don't notice doing this with iron sights if I do it at all, and I tend to be in the 8 and 9 circles even at 25 yards. In spite of all this, my go to handgun is the S&W 686P, with the 7" barrel. What I love about that revolver is that even with 7 rounds, I got several speed loaders and have myself reloading very quickly. Nowhere as fast as with magazines obviously, but still pretty effectively, I think. Best part is distance. Close range it's too easy to destroy the center of any target obviously. Take that target all the way out 50, 60 yards and I'm still nailing center mass for the most part. Haven't been able to set up a target past that yet, but I think it works as the perfect gun for close up, all the way out to where a rifle takes over. Amazing firearm for it's type and age.
confused? then stay confused. lol
Really like that you went the extra mile on some of the tech aspects. There seems as no other videos showed the removal and adding of the back straps.
Some mentioned backstraps but never show a replacement of straps with gunsmithing tools .
Thank you for going the extra mile Lenny . I have watched several of your videos and enjoy the presentation . I also purchased a battle belt for duty and used your video to make the proper adjustments .
Just wanted to say thank you and keep making videos please .
I really like your practical advice. For example. Grip means everything. Anyone can point a gun and fire it one time and hit the target. You're a follow up shot however in a combat situation will be much different if you do not have a good grip on your gun. If you've only got two fingers on your gun versus all of your fingers. That makes a huge difference. Nobody ever points this stuff out. You do. Thank you. This is exactly why I love my Glock 19 X.
I like how Lenny tries to be as fair as possible, but sometimes says he has his Glock glasses on lol.
Great review. I have a G43, G43X, Hellcat Pro and now a p365 Macro. I like all 3. I went to the hellcat pro, as I wanted to use factory mags. The new Sig is really nice, and I've had zero functions with all 3.
Problems to count until 4?
whats your fav? I'm in the Market and G43 p365 and S&W shield plus are what i have to chose between.
@@brownhaddl3y After having all 3, they have good quality, reliability and aftermarket support of holsters, etc. Generally, I like the G43X, however, while the Sheild 15 magazines have been generally good, I preferred a factory 15 round option over aftermarket, which lead me to the hellcat pro. When the Sig 365 Macro came out and I held it, it became my favorite and the others as spares. It's a tough choice between my Staccato and 365 Maco for CCW. Lastly, the only issue with the 365 Marco was the magazine availability, however they are now in stock, and I have two on the way.
@@EW-cp1gohellcat pro over sig macro? If someone already owns a hellcat pro should they get a macro instead ?
Having both. I tend to carry the hellcat over the sig. I like the stainless steel hellcat mags and have heard of instances of Rust on the Macro. I also have a light and RDS on the Marco and nothing on the Hellcat. I prefer it slick. ,@@arturopuebla4924
The sig has a magazine capacity of 17 vs the glock 43x of 10 in factory mags. 7 more rounds in the factory mags is a definite plus
Sig is clearly overall better but also significantly more expensive
This dude is strangely super entertaining to watch. Fun comparison video, I want to pick up that macro.
For a guy who runs a Glock store... this was a very informative, and not (unduly) biased video, on a competitor. Nicely done.
Just got my P365 XMacro and shot it this past week. It does remind me of the Glock 43X (my current carry). Not sure I like the comp. Not noticing a big difference in muzzle rise and with certain ammo, the flash out the top of the comp can be distracting. Can't beat the 17+1 rounds though. So, I'll likely take my P365 XL Specter (non-comp) slide and put it on the XMacro frame. Should be PERFECT!
Interesting idea!
I can’t stand Sig, but that setup with the Spectre is pretty rad, not gonna lie. I’d run it that way, too, as the comp can blind you all while decreasing velocity.
let us know how it goes with the switch!
That middle line in the comp will break after 8k rounds my guess
Exactly what I am thinking… but I may even try out the 17 round mag with baseplate instead. I love the laser engraving on the spectre so much I’d hate to lose it
Innovation drives competition. Time for glock to upgrade its magazine game and size game.
And grip angle, and everything else about that outdated brick
Glock has been resting on it's laurels and dragging it's heels for DECADES, relying on military contracts and "pseudo-military" tactical wannabes. EVery time they change a SCREW they issue a new "generation".....and STILL ship with PLATIC SIGHTS AND MAGS....not hating on them as they'll never see a dime of MY money...just an honest observance
P365X is the top carry gun. U get a flush 12rd(14rd if u use mag guts) with flat face trigger. I get a full grip with the X and u keep the small compact conceal weapon. Same size as original 365 but lil longer frame so no 10rd mag 12 and 15rd. But flush 14rd with mag guts.
I appreciate that your comparison appeared to be fair and unbiased!
Glad your carrying SIg Sauer stuff, I have an Sp2022 9mm and love it !!!!
Folks, don't go to a "new and best" gun. I have a G17, bought in 1987, used. Tweaked it until I got it down to about a 11/2 pound trigger and shot it in a lot of competitions. Never let me down. The slide doesn't lock open any more but it never, never failed. I estimate that I fired about 10-15 thousand shots. Still perfect. Buy a reasonable gun, then practice until your finger bleeds. Go to a range and test the 2-3 guns you're interested in. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.
They run like Toyotas!!!!!
I used to carry a Sig 225 back in the 80's and early 90's. I cannot believe how much lighter the newer guns are... and how much higher capacity they have, for less size and weight!
i had the original classic p225. about the only thing that gun and the striker fired guns of today have in common are their horrible triggers.
I've come back full circle. Started out Glock, then explored all the popular slim/micro 9's. 3 years later, here I am back on the G19 and G43...
By far the best video on youtube for the P365 X Macro!
As for accuracy, this gun is accurate if you put the effort into it.
At a distance of 25 yards, shooting the Sig P365, I had to pay extra attention to the "Shooting Dynamics" for Precision Accuracy!
First, my grip had to be high upon the back strap of the pistol, held very tight. Second, both "Sight Alignment" and "Trigger Control" had to be precise and smooth. By strictly following these stages, I finally was able to produce both a Five shot group of 2" along with a Ten shot group of 3.5" both from 25 yards, using Blazer 115gr fmj 9mm. All shooting was done using Two hands, standing unsupported (slow fire)!
Firearms of any kind are only as "accurate" as the hands in which they're held.
Great in depth review on both handguns and nice to see that you are reviewing other brands. I own the 365 Spectre with the Holosun 507 series.
I have Sig 365, 365XL, g43x and g48. Sig has more advantages on concealment due to its size. But the shooting experience, I prefer g43x and g48 mos. More soft and less recoil.
The 43X recoils less than the P365XL for you? I guess it really is subjective, the 43X is quite a bit more snappy for me.
@@stephen_crumley Agreed. 43X is more snappy (muzzle rise) than 365XL, but better recoil control than 365XL. G48 MOS is a little bit batter than 365XL in all aspects but rounds capacity. Less than 4in barrel pistols, it is all about to same, just personal preference.
There are 15 round mags available for the 43x. With that said, the Sig 365xl is a nicer shooting pistol that offers an external safety option, an option that Glock refuses to offer the customer.
I have the after market 15rd, I hate it.
@@GotoTechReviewsChannel why?
Ended up selling it. I could never quite get that 15th round in. The P365 X Macro is a fantastic EDC and was what I wished the 43X had been.
I own the subcompact p320, stand p365 and just got my p365x macro on friday and put 400 rounds through it yesterday. Great gun. I think I will enjoy it more with the romeozero elite. I carry my p320 have shot about 2000 rounds through it and have became very familiar with it. My p365x macro was firing lower than I expected and I didn't love the sights but that being said it could just be me being unfamiliar with them, over compensating because now all of my fingers fit on my grip and the compensator might have been messing with me a little bit. All in all I love the pistol. Can't wait for put a serious amount of rounds through it and get that optic on there. I have never owned an optic on a pistol besides my AR pistol but I am really excited about it.
Also if anyone is curious the Sig p320 subcompact and the P365x macro are the same exact size with full slide length and length of the grip. The slide is just much thinner on the p365x macro. Need to find a nice IWB holster with a cutout for the optic.
Shane, I purchased my Sig X MACRO added a Sig Romeo Zero Elite and Streamlight TLR-7A light. I paired it with the T-REX holster that accommodates both red dot and light. Also added a sidecar for the extra mag. Added a T1C wedge for comfort and now carry my brand new X Macro comfortably. Good luck.
New subscriber here! Wanted to let you know I enjoyed watching, listening & learning from your very informative presentation.
Thanks for taking the time and effort to make videos available to us out here who may need to acquire the kind of knowledge you provide without having to invest an inordinate about of time and/or money in order to sort things out in a timely fashion.
Glock can you please bring back c models bring back 357 sig to Gen 5 in slimline and double stack ;) remove those fs from all new models make a 5.7 Glock it’s time to innovate again !
That’s all sig is doing just spicing up there line up every 11 months or less to give the new or common shooter something to gravitate towards
Yes. The Sig Macro (excluding any unforeseen catastrophic issues with it in the future) outclasses the 43x. I have 6k rounds through my 43x and do really like it. I put trijicon HDs on it, SA15 mags, and a SA mag release. So this gun is largely unmodified. I had several FTE issues and issues with my slide not locking back (continuing issues)....the FTE issues are odd and are likely not an issue with my grip or the SA 15 mags- they are great. I was causing malfunctions before and fixed my grip to account for the small frame of the 43x...the slide not locking back is likely caused by my grip and location of the slide release. It is an issue I accept because the gun is small...go figure. That being said I still love my 43x. I've had my Sig Macro for about a week and only have about 600 rounds through it. That being said, no malfunctions, shoots great, and stock trigger is better than a 43x. Lots of options with grip backstraps, picatinny rail, and optics cut. The integrally compensated slide is nice too. The macro will be my new edc, but i'll still carry the 43x depending on the situation and necessity to carry something a bit smaller.
@Frank Bonazza III That may be true. I originally bought the 43x because it fit better in my hand than a 365. I am a proponent of shooting the gun that "fits you". Likewise, I knew I would have 15 +1 capacity with SA 15s....but you are right. It's BS that I had to buy after market mags in the first place....unfortunately, people who live in capacity-limited states need an option and I think the 43x fits that bill if the 365 grip isn't right for them. Ofourse people can buy pretty slick grip modules for Sigs if they have the money. That being said, I'm pretty sure my next handgun purchase will be a Sig
..and maybe even the one after that 😉
Sig and M&P are both great…. But Glock is My favorite 😊
Lenny I was very disappointed when I saw the glock store had stop selling sig Sauer firearms, I had bought my last edc from the glock store and I’m still carrying it today (P320xcompact). Then a week after I bought what I intend to be an additional edc I come across this video comparing the glock 43x to the P365xmacro. Lenny I’ve owned seven glocks over time and I’m not adverse to say that glock makes a good firearm and many find glocks to be the best gun for them to own, but as for me they just don’t seem to me too well. The last Glock I owned a G30 SF was traded this past week for an Sig Sauer P365 X Macro and it will be an additional edc for me. I still enjoy your videos and if the Glock store ever decides to sell Sigs again I might be a customer again. Thanks
Thank you for the honest review. I've been a Glock guy for over 25 years, and own many. I'm so old, my conceal carry has been a G27 for many of those years. The CC world has made leaps and bounds progress in the last few years that I have been considering something new to carry. My buddy had an X-Macro Comp nicely setup and made me a heck of a deal. I felt like I was having an affair on my Glocks when I purchased this Sig! Did I make the right decision?!?! Who knows! I kept eyeing that 43x and just couldn't decide. I went with the Sig and was still on the fence UNTIL watching this video. Either one would've been a huge upgrade from my G27, but as you pointed out, it's hard to argue with the 17 round capacity, and that all so familiar Glock grip. No hatred towards Glock, just spreading some love :)
The XL with that 17rd mag is enough of a glock killer for me, what an incredible package
I bought the Macro, and my favorite set up is the Macro slide, Wilson Combat XL sized grip module, 12 round magazine with my 17 round magazine as a reload!
You're using the macro slide on an XL? The integrated compensater won't line up with the longer barrel? Your using it because its optics ready? @@chrish3274
They must give you some great discounts or paychecks to sit here with a straight face and compare these two models. I own both and just got back from the deer lease from shooting the Xmacro paired with the Holosun 507k in green and to be honest it’s going to be my main carry after some abuse on the range. The 43x has been a safe Queen for about two years now. Shooting the 43X at the range was fine, but when I trained with it and started to actually use it in fighting condition (tighter grip) the 43x started to chew on my hand. Neve would have noticed this without actually training vs shooting at a range.
A Sig feature Lenny didn't mention is the ease of changing the grip module. Have you already got a P365 XL? Then just buy a different grip module, pop out the fire control unit by removing one pin and drop it in the new grip! (Try to keep up Glock)
Looking forward to the new SS/GS , Sig Sauer & Glock Store, opening in Texas!
Who wants to switch back and forth all the time? That's stupid. I want a dedicated gun for each purpose. So i go on vacation, and want a small gun for concealed carry and a larger gun for home defense (hotel, condo). You really expect me to swap the FCU into large frame, and then swap it back each morning when I go out? That's just absurd. Id rather take 2 guns dedicated for each purpose, and worst case scenario, I've got 2 guns in case one breaks, gets lost or stolen, or I need to arm another person with me. This whole FCU frame swap bs is nothing but a gimmick for gullible people that are easily influenced by marketing.
@@Watchdog_McCoy_5.7x28 I don't think I mentioned switching out grip modules daily, I just pointed out that it was an option. If a person decides to change the frame size on the P365 later, they don't have to get another gun or bother with trading theirs in....
I agree switching daily or even monthly is a bit ridiculous but I also think the ability to easily change the frame size is a good feature.
@@texas66 I don't hate the concept entirely, but I don't see the point in buying multiple frames without having an FCU for each frame. I don't want to swap frames each time I decide to use a different size gun, whether it be daily, weekly, monthly, etc. That's not even the worst thing about Sig either. They released a gun that fires when dropped, and drop safe guns have been made for decades upon decades already. Then instead of recalling them like a company that has integrity should do, they instead offer a voluntary "upgrade", as if the version that fires without pulling the trigger is still an acceptable alternative if you don't want to bother sending it in. That's downright disgusting. Their qc problems are getting ridiculous as well. The MPX (or was it the MCX?), the p320, the p365 breaking strikers (in a carry gun no less, marketed as a gun that you carry everyday in case you need to defend yourself from being killed). Then there's the Sig Cross that again would fire without the trigger being pulled. Then they just recalled some ammo that wasn't loaded properly and could cause a squib which is very dangerous as well. Innovation is cool, when quality control isn't sacrificed in the process. I'm a quality control engineer in the nuclear industry, so I have a little experience in quality control and I speak from experience. Sig is just cutting corners in an attempt to takeover the market, and putting real lives in danger in the process. There's not a chance in hell I'd ever buy anything made by Sig in these days. I value my life, and those around me, and therefore I can't justify having any Sig products around me, and they aren't allowed on my personal shooting range either (after a friends p320 fired when sitting on the table without anyone even touching the gun, and then the Sig Cross he had would fire when you touched the bolt handle) unless they were made before Sig USA got involved. Maybe I'd be a bigger fan of the FCU concept if a company that values quality over profits and market shares started making them, instead of a company that has someone pulling strings for them to get government contracts. How do you suppose they beat Glock by 100 million dollars (or whatever ridiculously cheaper amount it was) in the last handgun trials? They sacrificed quality control, and they jacked up the prices for consumers as well to offset them basically giving away the guns to the government. You can't be that much cheaper without cutting corners, and my experience in quality control is what gives me the expertise and discernment to see what's going on. Sig has spread themselves too thin by expanding into other markets too fast (guns, optics, ammo, etc.), and they allowed their reputation for excellent quality to drop, all in the name of that Almighty Dollar, and that's unforgivable imo, whether they make innovative products or not, it's irrelevant to me because I lost trust in the products working as they are supposed to. Most people aren't enthusiasts like myself, and will get talked into jumping on the wagon by their local gun store salesmen that could care less about selling you a quality product, and by youtube shills that are bought and paid for to advertise Sig products as if they are the gold standard, when the evidence says otherwise. The FCU is still a gimmick that serves as nothing more than a selling point. Of all the people I know that have a Sig that uses an FCU, not a single one ever actually uses it as it was intended. They still go and buy another complete gun instead of swapping frames, because like I said before, they don't want multiple frames sitting around that are useless when the FCU is in another frame. The only legitimate swap I could see is where you can swap the hangun FCU into a carbine, but then it's still the same problem where you can only shoot one or the other, and the price savings from not having to buy another FCU is still not enough to make it a great choice when you can buy a complete gun for just a few hundred bucks extra. It's an idea that sounds great, but isn't actually as useful in the real world as people think it will be. Then to top it off, the qc is garbage, so why would I want to go buy an FCU, and multiple frames, for a gun that's made by a company that can't even make a gun that doesn't fire without pulling the trigger... Sig of old is long gone, and the old Sigs I have are excellent, and I would never sell them, but I'm not buying anything they make nowadays, where quality is nothing but an afterthought to this company. They should be ashamed to even use the Sig name, because they aren't representative of what Sig was before they stopped making guns over in Germany. They are merely riding the coattails of the glory days when Sig was a top tier manufacturer. Sorry about the rant, but I'm absolutely disgusted with the present day version of what was formerly one of the greatest gun manufacturers in the world. It's actually a problem because of America and the lazy, entitled attitudes of American employees. Im a Glock fan admittedly, but i won't buy a Glock made in the USA either, because Americans have gotten lazy and make terrible products. The only Glock that ever gave me any problems whatsoever was a g43 made in America, and it's sitting in the safe collecting dust because I can't in good conscience sell it to anyone knowing it's a hunk of junk. Have a good one though, and do as you please. I just truly want people to make informed decisions and not get suckered into marketing gimmicks and poor quality because they see everyone else doing the same thing. ✌️
@@texas66 it’s so damn easy I wouldn’t mind switching it daily it’s just that easy. Takes less than a minute. But what I do is I have two different slide assemblies, the xl and the x. Instead of having two separate guns for “summer carry” and “winter carry” I just change the slide assembly I don’t even need to swap out the fcu unless I want to change grip module but I stick with the normal xl grip module.
I just got my first Sig . P365xl . After buying several guns and learning just about what I want. I hope this my best choice. Wish I had found the Glock store a long ago. I am 73 and a woman. New to the gun world. And found a wonderful trainer
Linny my friend. I’m damn near 70 years old and been scouring the stores and Internet for a handgun “I want to shoot for FUN” versus what I was assigned for 30 plus years as a work tool. Two days ago, I rented a 43X and a Sig 365 Uncompensated for evaluation purposes. 43 Hurt my hand the recoil was overly excessive to my hand grip. Granted, I am not in the best physical shape, Also I’ve been sick the last 15 years And just now decided I want to shoot for fun and sport yet at the same time have a close-up defensive gun just in case. As soon as I shot the SIG 365 I knew I found the right handgun. After about 10 rounds through the SIG I went right back into the main store and they sold me a Sig Sauer 365X with the factory compensator. I’m in love what can I say? ❤
The first awe-factor that I came across when I held the xmacro was the sight acquisition. So buttery smooth and natural to the presentation during ADS
My G-17 is basically a brick on top of an angled brick....and I love it. It's reliable, light enough, fits good in my paws. Maybe my wife will be interested in this new Sig P365 X. Although ...I'm a retrograde, I used to carry a German-made Makarov for many years.
I love makarovs.
I love makarovs
“Maybe my wife’d like it” -Glock 17 owner 🤣 😂 holy mother of based! Also, German Makarovs I know little about, but I bet they’re different, but sweet.
@@OneD33pTX Well, many moons ago I carried a PM in Ukrainian Army, naturally, it was soviet-made. Here, in the States, I sort of wanted to stick with what I new - a PM, but didn't want anything russian, so I got me a German PM. The only difference is quality of German work.
Pretty sure CZ has the best bore access ratio on the market but maybe I'm cz-centric I own both Glocks and CZ's

@@mcunhabr Nice bulge bud
@@AmericaTerrapin I haven't had any issues with my sig
@@bask1876 I’m sorry if it sounds like I am saying Sig isn’t reliable.. it wasn’t my intention. I just know my Glocks and all of my other friends glocks have never failed. I have never shot or owned a Sig, so my comment is extremely bias.
I’m a huge Sig fan. Have been since the early 90’s. I bought a P365XL and an X Macro Comp within a month of each other just recently. Both had malfunctions out of the box, brand new. The Macro fired 5 shots before a fte. The XL had a fte after the first shot. I ran two brands and grains of ammo. Same issues. I bought a G43X MOS new to replace them as a ccw. The rear plastic sight was installed wrong so I fixed that. No biggie as night sights have shipped for it. But it ran both ammos without a hiccup. The Sigs are in the boxes in the safe until the buyers remorse wanes and I feel like dealing with it. So the high capacity of my Sigs were negated by malfunctions. I’d rather have 11 for sure, than 13 or 18 in theory. I have to have complete confidence in my carry gun…so as it stands, the XL capacity is 1 round and the Macro is 5 :-(
Hey Lenny McGill, good to see that you’re making videos again, haven’t seen one for a while, I have the Sigg P3 65 XL which I bought about four years ago, not really thinking about buying the new mackerel ( lol) macro , up to a little more than two maybe I don’t even think it’s been three years ago, I had never considered a glock, I was kind of one of those anti-Glock guys, of course in the past two years I’ve come to love them, and I now own,
10 glocks two 26s , A Glock 20 and a Glock 21, a Glock 22, and two Glock 17’s, and two Glock 19’s, my Glock 27, so that is how much I’ve come to love them, what I love about them mostly is their simplicity, and their dependability, I still love my SIGs I have a Sigg 226, , a Sig 220 , a Sig 229 legion , p238 , I love those pistols too , it’s just that now in the past couple years I’ve become a Glock fan boy too , maybe I’ll get one of the macros? Just not in my budget now,
You know Glocks are obsolete when Glock Store is showcasing Sig products. - Recovering Glock Fanboy
Unbelievable right? Who knew I needed to get to a Glock channel to learn about a Sig. Next week’s episode will focus on the Rattler and Romeo 1pro
Lenny is an icon! Great comparison and run down. Appreciate how honest Larry is about the innovations and engineering by Sig. I hope Glock and other competitors take note and get back to R&D to compete and drive the products even further.
I switched my carry from Glock 23 (converted to 9mm w/ Lone Wolf) to Sig P365XL RomeoZero about a year ago. Main reason is the Sig is so thin, it carries great appendix without giving up capacity.
Both shoot great and I won't get rid of the Glock anytime soon. It's been with me for over 15 years.
Long time Glock fan and user. Where glock dropped the ball is the capacity of the 43x and 43. I own a 43 and it's a whopping 6+1. A g26 is just a little wider and almost double the rounds. Sig hit this one out the park.
I love my Glock 19 and my sig spectre for smaller carry, both great guns
What I like about the p365 X is that it is available with a thumb safety.
Will glockstore make a larger aftermarket backstrap for the macro? That would be great.
All of my friends who own the glock and the sig end up carrying the 43x, myself included. We’ve talked about why and it comes down to the natural point of aim from the grip angle and the recoil recovery seems better on the Glock. I use the 15 round shield arms mags and have never had an Issue.
I like the Glock's safety systems more:
* Glock striker is only half cocked when loaded/chambered - generally not enough energy to ignite a primer if all other safeties fail. That is why the Glock has a tougher trigger pull, its the cost of this failsafe.
* The firing pin/striker safety is independent from the sear on the Glock, vs having the striker safety on the same striker protrusion as the sears (Single point of failure). If the sig's striker breaks at the rear lug, all in battery safeties are defeated and the gun will discharge. Extremely unlikely that this happens because it is a strong part, but does require proper manufacture (MIM part).
* Glock has a safety ledge that prevents the cruciform from depressing and releasing sear when the trigger is not pressed to the rear. This would prevent the sear from slipping under a drop on the top of the slide or other failures.
* Has an inertial trigger safety (the two piece trigger) that prevents the trigger from depressing on impact due to momentum. Sig has a different sear release mechanism for the trigger that makes it safe without a trigger safety, and also has a secondary sear if the first slips or breaks.
* Both have solid in battery safeties, so that the trigger cannot release until the gun is properly locked.
From the operator perspective, I like the Sig more:
* Safer maintenance: No trigger press to disassemble.
* Smoother trigger: Trigger does not have to cock the striker
* Modular Fire Control Unit: Replace banged up grip frames, or upgrade to different types of frames with different mag options
I don't think the Sig is unsafe, and I don't think the Glock is hard to use/operate. They're both great choices.
Great video and informative review of both the Sig and the Glock. Thank you!
The Sig optic plate was made for the Leopold Delta Point, then they remade the Romeo 1 to match that.... Enjoyed the video
I shot the 43x and the 365xl macro at the range yesterday. I have previously shot all the sigs, hellcats, etc. when they came out and didn't like any of them. I actually purchased the Hellcat Pro because it was bigger, had greater capacity, etc., but I hated it and sold it. I am not a Glock fan, but I found the 43x to be the best fitting in my hands, the least snappy, least recoil sensitive of all those firearms. And the "bad" Glock trigger of past years was no where to be found. I intend to make the 43x my next purchase for concealed carry. Thanks for your vids.
Question: If you had ONE bullet and did not know the grain or manufacturer of the round and had to shoot it in order to save your life, would you pick the Sig or a Glock?
Here's my thoughts (and the reason I carry a Glock). Of all my firearms, if I was 100 miles from home and in a pressure situation and had to use somebody else's ammo or buy shit ammo from a Walmart in bumfuck, I would trust my Glock to shoot it the most. I can't tell you how many times I've shot reman or shitty rounds that jammed some of my other guns but NOT my Glocks.
I take it you never owed a HK? My HKs runs my Glocks in the ground. I don't have to break my wrist over bubble to get on point. Never understood how anyone really likes the grip angel of Glocks.
The Glocks I have had more problems then any other of my guns. Just last week multiple failures to feed. Failure to go back in to battery.
And my Glock 43 also had multiple failures to feed over 500 rounds. I trust my Glocks way less than my Smith, Taurus, or Springfield which have had 0 failures from thousands of rounds.
@@Lq32332 One of my very first Glocks was a model 45 Gen 5 9mm. I was told the Gen 5s where the best Glock to date by a number of people. All I have to say is this is the best yet, I am very thankful I waited many, many years to get one. Right out of the box failure to feed. My son made fun of my and asked why a Glock Dad. After trying 3 mags I took the gun down and found the spring on the guide rod winding off the end of the guide rod. OUT OF THE BOX. When I tell of Glocks I tell from having a number of them. Back in the day 1980s they where something new and took off. Sadly the very same guns are being put out today with very little updates. All of my Glocks came with 6-7 pound triggers. I changed all of them to the Timney triggers just to get what should come out of the box. I have over 40 handguns and my Glocks come in at the low end of them all. They are the most over rated guns on the market.
@@Lq32332 ammo issue maybe?
CZ 75 Compact PCR will fire anything with a primer that will go off. I use my CZ if my life depends on a firearm
I liked the 43 when I shot it about 1.5 years ago. I checked it out because I have a G3 19 and love it. The 19 is just bulky to carry but not terrible. Last week I bought a P365X and I love it. Now that the 43X is out I'm buying that too because it now has the higher capacity mag with MOS. I love both of them.
Hellcat kicks ass
The mos 43x is only a optic ready slide with a railed frame. Glock does not make mags that hold more than 10 for the 43x/48.
@@Seasniffer1969 Its more than just that. The 43 is smaller and more compact and has a 6rd mag. The 43x has a different radius as well as a 10rd mag. There are some other tiny differences as well that come along with updates to the generation differences.
@@EGGINFOOLS I never once brought up the 43.
It's an inferior design. Ive had a 48 since release in the states. 43x and 48 are the same frame.
@@Seasniffer1969 Oh well i must have misunderstood your reasoning for the comment then. I spoke about the 43 and the 43x in my original comment. Seemed like you were adding to my comparison of the two.
Lenny, You are the man! Your videos are always very informative, with a lot of great insight. Thank you for your content. I wish yall had a store in Houston.
Glock needs to follow suit like SIG and S&W by having an optics cut on all models.
Not everyone wants optics on their guns.
@@bc_usa Ik but at least it will be an option
I hear you, but considering how bad the MOS system is, I still prefer to buy non-optic ready slides, and send them off to be milled. The only time I’ve purchased an MOS Glock was the 43X and 48, and that was just for the light rail on the frame. I sent both of those off to CHPWS to be milled for the RMR cc and they both turned out great.
People that never owned a Glock like them bone stock orginal look no cuts and nothings wrong with that like bro said just send the slide off to get a proprietary cut for the forever optic on that gun and your good
@@OneD33pTX Optics on a micro carry gun is not needed. In a self defense shooting up close you are going to point and shoot. Usually not enough time to even look at the irons. I train for that.
Nice guns. I prefer the G26 with a Pearce Grips PG-26 grip extension as it's easier to conceal and easier to control with +P and +P+ ammo than the 3 oz lighter P365XL and G43X and can use Glock 15, 17, 24 and 33 round mags. Loved Glocks since I tried a G17 in the 1980s.
the 43X cannot use those mags, it is a single stack firearm.
@@nilaypatel302 he missed a comma.., what he meant was that for his hands the g26 is easier to control than the g43x or the 365. Also, the g26 can utilize all the Glock double stack mags.
If the width isn’t an issue than the 26 has been and still is a great gun.
Sig is wining because of the width and also the modularity. You can’t throw a Glock 19 slide on a 26 grip or a 26 slide on the 19 grip; but you could own a p365 and an xmacro (or 365 xl) and piece together the combination you want that day.
The 43x and 48 slides are interchangeable but the 43 isn’t. Hence why the SA Glock 43 mags are nothing special since they aren’t flush. But like you mentioned, after market stuff isn’t as great as coming out of the box with it.
Edit: you just made me realize what shield arms did wrong. In college I had a management major and I made a business based on doing what sa failed to do. So when I sa released their non flush mag, I thought that my whole fake company would’ve failed. The problem is that sa made a great s15 mag. What they needed to do was release a 43x/48 frame that was cut down. Allow the frame to take a shortened version of the s15 that was a flush 10rd that could also take a s15 mag.
I’m a huge Glock fan and the problem is they haven’t changed since the 80’s.
@@pjp7259 no need for a major change to the Glock 17… there has been plenty of new guns since then. The problem is actually very recent, that being they didn’t make the 43 and 43x mag compatible.
Been watching your show for a year now. Purchased my first handgun yesterday - Glock 17 of course. Thanks for the education sir!
You made the right choice getting a GLOCK G-17/G-19. Do not listen to these guys...they remind me of used car salesman they are so full of shit......

I’m with ya, I recently started following the channel and buying my first Glock in about a month I’ve chosen gen 3 Glock 17,,, 😎👍( I live in California) seems like Glock is the go too in this state 💯 we don’t have much options 🤦♂️
Been a Glock guy for years but the new p365 x macro tacops is awesome you get 4 17 round mags a flared magwell optics cut for 750 before tax compared to the 600+ I paid in full for my 19x and I got 3 mags 1 17 and 2 19 round but only 2 if you get a normal Glock the sig is more concealable with high compacity and an awesome gun still have and keep my Glock in the truck for a back up gun but sig is doing some awesome things over the last couple years

I'm glad sig is innovating. I love glocks but we are talking about a design that's 40 years old. All guns are pretty reliable so the reliability comparison (glock perfection) is somewhat of a wash. Glock doesn't have anything in the concealed carry department that touches the P365 line. With that said I love how full sized glocks shoot. I just find the 43 and 48 to be old and in need of an update. The handle on the 43x is ridiculously long compared to the 365.
I got a g43x and I tried before both (p365x) and yes, I admit is too long I wish it was 1cm shorter at least for better conceal, even so I'm happy with my purchase.
I love that Glock runs like a Toyota!!!!!
@@kwik2hear915 so many guns do man…. I’ve had a Cz p10 that’s never failed. I’ve had an mp shield that runs like a Toyota. I don’t think that can exactly be a selling point anymore
I started acquiring sig Sauer pistols. Still find Walthers to point better for me. But I find I still do better with sig p320 and p365xl than glocks of any variant.
I wonder of Sig will be enough market pressure on Glock to potentially buy out Shield and make their shield mags an OEM option. I think it's what glock needs to compete with SIG and the springfield hellcat.
Glock has reliability won hands down which is all that matters for a CCW pistol. Sig has had too many reliability issues over the years (in particular with the 365) that it doesn't matter how well the gun points or shoots for you if it fails when you need it.
I’m a Walther guy. The fit in my hand and the trigger with just how it points naturally. I have a PPQ Q5 match, PPS M2, and the PPQ sc. I do like that new Macro. But knowing me I’ll probably get the PDP F series.
@@Haemesh sig already sorted out issues for the p365 series. Also it’s 2022, other manufacturers make firearms that are just as reliable as Glock.
Try CZ if you like Walther. Careful though - CZ is addictive. You'll have a dozen before you know what happened
@@dilldowschwagginz2674 unfortunately, tried an SP01 in hand, found the controls hard to reach for my medium/large sized hands.

❤👍🤣🙌
Lenny knows his craft, I have several of his videos on defensive use of handguns from back in the day.
Sig is just killing it!! They keep innovating more than any other company by far!! Glock is just cheaper which they should be.
You're the only person I have seen that says Glocks point naturally. That's one of the things that the P80 fixed. The Macro X is excellent, but I still love a 19.
The Sig is a nice firearm and it has many nice features. I still prefer the Glock 43X MOS. It conceals well and has the right capacity and features I want. I'm picky when it comes to sights so even with the Sig I would want to change them to an i-dot set from ameriglo. For me the Glock 43X MOS with a streamlight TLR6 and Holosun Green Dot are the perfect conceal carry option. If I want more capacity I would carry my Gen 5 Glock 19 MOS, which is great for autumn and winter. I live in Florida though, so when it's really hot all you'll want to carry is a Ruger LCP Max, since it's very small and can be pocket carried.
Why is 10 rounds the "right" capacity? I will take 18 over 10 everytime considering they are similar size.
@@thomasmacgruber6701 Due to the size, you're not getting 18 rounds into a pistol like this. Glock chose ten rounds since it provides the most rounds and still retains functional reliability. Rounds aligned in a row, will always be more reliable than a staggered configuration. If you move to a double stack, then you're making the pistol wider, and the point of the Glock 43X is to be thin and easy to conceal while still allowing a full grip. If you want more rounds, then move to a different pistol. It may not have the same reliability or concealability though.
Good video Lenny. You missed a great feature of the Glock by misunderstanding how the Sig (and every other striker fired) operating system works. You said the trigger take-up pulls the striker back. That ONLY happens with Glocks. Sig, and all others, are truly single action. The striker spring is at FULL tension, waiting for the trigger to release a sear. So, not only is the Glock OS safer, it also has way fewer parts. The ingenious simplicity of Glock is what sets it apart, and nobody ever talks about how the striker fired weapons are so vastly different than Glock. I’ve carried a Sig p229 for years, but the new striker fired Sigs (while revolutionary in many aspects) have operating systems that are over-engineered, overly complicated, and inferior to Glocks according to physics.
i agree, every time i take apart a sig product i think to myself, "yeah, i guess TECHNICALLY you can do it this way, but have no idea why anyone would CHOOSE to do it this way to begin with...,"
I love Glocks simplicity.
I would agree. I'm not a gun expert but I've always loved handguns. I don't love or hate them. The Glock conversation is a funny thing as we all know. Again, not an expert, and yeah I agree they maybe should innovate with things like sights and mag capacity, but it's not for no reason they have the reputation they do for being so reliable, simple and easy to work on. Not to mention the aftermarket support which speaks volumes by itself. Perhaps Gaston has known what he's been doing since he started it all.
glock actually has a very good trigger compared to most of the striker fired pistols of today.
Love my p229 Elite Scorpion. In FL it’s not my EDC gun but it’s my home defense gun that with the shotty and the Colt AR.
I expect yo to have a “Glock slant” on things as you should as you are GS…lol…but I was surprised with your candor talking about the Sig. I have a G45 and G43X but will be buying the Sig P365xMacro….they are both great guns - luckily for me, my wife wants my G43x so I’m ‘forced’ to buy me a SP365CMacro….LOL
I have a Glock in my rotation & I’m not a fan of Glock’s grip angle. I recently picked up a Shadow Systems XR920 & it definitely fixed the grip angle for me. Had I not gotten the P320 Spectre Comp I may have gotten the 365 X Macro, I’ve heard quite a few good things about it
Haven't shot the newest Sig yet, but have shot the 365XL, the G43X, and G48. All three of these guns shoot well. The Sig XL is really nice right out of the box, it doesn't really need to be messed with. For me, the two Glocks immediately need new sights, and some trigger tuning. Add SA 15rd mags, and they're good to go. We will end up spending more time and money on the Glocks to make them how we want them, but it's really fun to do, and the result is rewarding. If I could only afford one of these three guns in stock form, it would be the Sig XL, it's the most bang for the buck.
