For peace of mind on the street or recreation on the range, many will love the increased capacity. Two magazines come with the pistol for 34+1 out of the box. This boosts capacity to 17+1 rounds, that’s duty-size Glock 17 capacity! It even bests Smith & Wesson’s new Shield Plus’s 16+1 in 30 Super Carry. The new grip frame also facilitates the introduction of a new 17-round magazine. Even with my medium size hands, cleanly ejecting the mag on the P365 is something I have to be conscious of due to its very short grip. The longer design fits larger hands better and allows for clean magazine ejection. So, what did SIG Sauer do to make the new P365-XMACRO and how do their changes align with my list above? The new grip module is a big change. This all sounds relatively straightforward. Keep in mind, there are some basic points that must be taken into consideration when considering a handgun for personal protection: The engineers at SIG Sauer carefully examined the original design and laid out a path to give it “duty gun” performance. Basically, to use old-fashioned car lingo, a factory hot-rodded P365.Įvidently, SIG Sauer agreed and we now have their new P365-XMACRO to consider. Something narrow like the P365, light and compact, but which cranked the performance up even further. Not as a replacement for their P365, but as an additional model to complement it. Many began to desire a new model that kept the best features of the P365, but allowed it to perform like a full-size duty gun. Owners of SIG Sauer’s little P365 began to realize the potential of the design and began thinking about if it had a big brother. Also note the M1913 Picatinny rail on the dustcover. To reduce felt recoil and muzzle movement a two-port integral compensator is standard. 38 Special snubby or a six-shot single-stack 9mm when you could carry a P365? Other companies quickly rushed to bring more competitive designs to market, such a Springfield Armory’s Hellcat, as your average armed citizen re-evaluated what they were looking for in a handgun slated for concealed carry. Suddenly designs like the single-stack 9mm Glock 43 looked outdated. Once its teething problems were addressed it went on to reshape the market. Here was a 9mm pistol that carried as easy as a compact five-shot J-frame revolver but could match the capacity of a Glock 19. The impact SIG Sauer had on the concealed carry handgun market with their P365 should not be downplayed. The end result is a pistol well-suited for concealed carry and personal protection. What I like best though, is it puts all of these features into a pistol which is very easy to shoot well. For peace of mind, it has a capacity of 10+1, 12+1 or 15+1 depending upon which size magazine you select. Better still, it is chambered for the readily available 9mm cartridge, so it has the performance of a service pistol, but in a smaller package. Plus, it is fairly light so you can carry it all day without noticing it. It is small and fairly narrow making it very easy to conceal. SIG Sauer’s original 9mm P365 became hugely popular due to a few factors: its compact size, caliber, capacity and how easy it is to shoot well. SIG Sauer’s P365-XMACRO 9mm pistol offers everything you need for concealed carry and personal protection in a very well-thought-out package. Before I dive into the new P365-XMACRO though, let’s take a quick look at where it came from. Magazine capacity now is an impressive 17+1 and it even has changeable back-straps. At first glance you will notice it is Red Dot Ready, has an integral compensator, M1913 Picatinny rail for accessories and an entirely new and longer grip frame. So, what is so special about SIG Sauer’s new P365-XMACRO? I suppose the easiest way to describe it is they gave a 9mm P365 the “Roland Special” treatment, but in reality they did much more. Now, SIG Sauer is shaking things up again with their new P365-XMACRO! This was due to the amount of performance squeezed into such a small package. One model that really shook up the concealed carry market though is SIG Sauer’s P365. There is only one pistol that best meets your particular needs and requirements. The question I’ve heard from many, especially those entirely new to firearms is: which pistol is best? Unfortunately, there is no blanket answer to this question. Without a doubt, more people than ever are thinking about self-protection and looking to obtain both a pistol and a permit to carry.
