I just wish that someone would make a grip module with a 1913 rail. There are some that make a metal frame with the 1913 rail, but they cost Too Much.
With the popularity the p365 & xl I’m sure someone will fill that niche quickly
@@jairopavon11 been waiting for years man. Just recently surefire and streamlight released new models for it. It is taking too long for what one would assume should have been done.
I’ve been screaming this. Huge missed opportunity for the metal frame companies not to make polymer versions with full length pic rail. For now we can use the Tactical Dev rail adapter
@@rvroutdoors2131 I’ve been considering the adapter, but I just feel like it hangs a bit too low. It might be tough to find a kydex holster for it as well.
@@ryandyar1248 it does hang just a tad lower but not unbearable.
But since since they came out with the TLR7sub I don’t really care so much about the 1913 rail anymore. The sub grew on me and now I can switch back forth between my X slide and XL slide without having to remove the Tac Dev rail adapter. And I put the Wilson Combat XL grip module. I absolutely love it.
Now we also have the option of getting the new X-macro grip module when they start to sell it separately. I’m happy with my current configuration but I’ll still get that X macro grip and mags to play with.
Also Tac Dev is making an awesome mag base for the 17rd macro mag to fit the XL and X grips. Can’t wait to get one of them. Brad said he’s gonna make one for the Wilson grip too.
Glad I pulled this up as after watching a few of these videos I just had that A-Ha moment......I have a P365 on the way & wanted the WC grip module but the standard P365 WC module won't accept 12 round mags to fit clean. Seeing this now I can simply order the XL module & I'll be good to go 👍
And magazines!
You are wrong about which module feels comfortable against the body. The front and back texture on Wilson is like the 365 but better. The sides are aggressive because of the deep cuts, but is much smoother on the layer that touches your body. Never chafed from the Wilson, saved me the headache I had with the original!!
Agreed, the sides of the WC grip is actually smooth.
Just swapped to this yesterday......I like it alot 👍🏻
Well first off let me say great video thank you I wish that you had seated them side-by-side and showed us the length one thing that I like about the stock one is it seems to be beveled enough that my pinky wraps around it and I can actually use that as a purchase to keep it in my hand. I own an Icarus which is an aluminum 7075 lower totally changes the dimension of the gun in every way . The only issue I have is the weight it definitely makes the gun a completely metal framed gun and adds a lot of weight , that makes it great for reducing the recoil. That’s the biggest plus. As far as carrying it every day as summer is getting closer I’m looking for a lighter weight.
So if any thing I d ask is it has long has the stock one .. thanks
WC is the only grip to go with
Love the use of your Crescent hammer. Were you in the Navy? (common inside Navy joke)
Which has a better purchase for the P365, the Wilson Combat or Icarus precision grip?
why doesnt anyone display racking a 15 round mag . i jus tpicked up a wilson ombat lower and want to see the look if possible
The mag well is also flared more on the WC module
Thanks for checking it out!
Will the Wilson Combat Grip Module work seamlessly with the Werkz Holster?
Are you planning on getting the tungsten weights for the back of that grip?
Just got mine as well, love it
What a royal PIA to install the mag release & not loose the spring. Lost & found y my wife. Then second time it's gone. Monday will call to get a replacement. If not - it goes in the dump. Wilson does not include any instructions. Good Luck if you don't have miniature hands.
The XL Wilson grip on my std 365 made ALL the difference. It was nearly impossible to drop an expended mag with the original short grip - the mag would hit the meat of my larger hand and nor drop free. With the WC module, that problem is solved. AND it is so much more comfortable in my hand with the slightly more aggressive texture and the slightly more rounded shape. I like my std P365. I LOVE it with the WC grip module. Nice review.
You do not need to hit it with any tool, otherwise you will damage the metal washer that it holds. You must insert the retainer pin from the opposite side, no tool need, just push it. Men! My P365 X out of the box has a loose FCU, i thought it was something to do with the slide because it was rattling and wobbling, but i too the slide of and bingo! The Fire control unit is loose. I tried to contact Sig many times but no answer as usual. Anyways, i was not able to find a new hand grip here in puerto Rico so i ask a friend to try his p365 hand grip on my P365 X and it works! No rattle no wobbling no gap between slide and hand grip. The problem in the hand grip inside where it connects to the FCU. Since Sig never answer iam thinking about buying one of this. I feel kind of upset with Sig. Customer service sucks. Not sure is Wilson Combat handgrip will solve this problem. Ill give it a try if Sig won't replace my hand grip.
I have never had a problem with Sig CS, and I own 7 of them
Been carrying mine with the enigma appendix holster rig.
Deep Concealed with zero printing BUT you will need to wear a undershirt or some sort of under garment to keep the WC grip from rubbing your stomach raw which is always an issue with appendix carry but this grip in particular is very aggressive and will rub you raw if you’re on the move and especially if your work requires vigorous physical activity like mine.
The WC grip does feel alot better than the standard grip on my XL and I can get on target much faster with better trigger control with this grip.
Hogue grip on sig module fixes the rubbing raw issue but to my knowledge there isnt anything for the wilson. The wilson has a higher, flatter and longer beaverrail which depending on your hands can rub on thumb knuckle.
Look on ESTY, they have a holster for 50.00 free shipping -Kydex on the outside and a really nice padding that fits on you body. That may work for you. Everything I have bought from ESTY is fantastic. Best of luck.-Shawn.
@@shawnshipstad2184 a brand or link wouldnbe nice since there are many holsters :)
I just carry it in my pocket. I don't like OWB or IWB holsters.
Anybody notice that seating the mag is much harder with the WC grip?
On my 365XL the mags insert about the same although I really have to force the 12+1 so I just left it at 12 because I didn’t want to damage the extractor since that first round was really hard to strip out.
@@ronjoseph7973 Uhh - the 12 round magazine holds TWELVE ROUNDS! That’s IT! The plus 1 Is the ONE IN THE CHAMBER!
Disappointed that Wilson combat did not include front rail?
A standard front rail would prevent the gun from fitting Kydex 365 holsters, and most leather ones without stretching them.
@@Subtlenimbus This. I would never have bought one if I would've had to trade out my holster to make it work.
No x macro!
What does average size hand means though? Like, Medium gloves?
You know it would have been beneficial if you displayed both grips together to show whether the length of the WC grip was longer from top to bottom than the OEM sig grip. Everyone is concerned how their pinky fits on these grips
Good point. They are actually identical in height. The only real differences are in the width and texturing.
Does it seems to be a stronger, thicker, higher quality Polymer?
@@joewalker6931 Both the Sig and Wilson grips are good quality grips. The Sig grip feels a little fatter from left to right, from front to back they are the same plus the length are the same. The Wilson grip feels better to me, it fits the hand better, the grip texture on the Wilson is better. I like the looks of the Wilson better. If I give the Wilson grip a 98% over all I'd give the Sig grip a 90% the feel and the looks of the Wilson are better to me, my guns with the Wilson grips have a custom look to them. Lastly when I hold both grips in my hands and compare the Sig grip feels a little fatter and less conforming to my hand.
Thanks for reviewing it! It looks amazing. Love WC grip modules
Are extended magazines compatible??
does it change any holster fitting?
No...I just swapped out to this grip module and it fits my IWB We the people holster perfectly
Thanks for the caveats. I don't usually care for overly aggressive stippling so I think I'll save my money and stick with the original grip...
The texturing is not that aggressive, especially compared to my CZ P10. But the grip control of the Sig with the WC grip module is way better than stock. I have medium size hands. If I just slightly relaxed my grip with the stock grip my shot would drift left. With the WC grip, my groups stayed tight.
Looks good - unfortunately all the grip modules appear to be out of stock.
@Eric W No doubt. Sorry I missed out. Hoping for a speedy restock. Really want one each of the FDE and Black XL versions. I'm on the email list now.
Ordered mine 6-17-22 got it 6-23-22
@@johnwall9725 I got a black one then the FDE shortly after my post. Then got the tungsten weight kits for both. Then because I had a leftover stock slide after getting a Spectre slide upgrade and a stock barrel after a threaded barrel upgrade I got an FCU and recoil spring and now have a 2nd 375XL. LOL, it was that or keep staring at all the extra gun parts...
Should have lab eled it as an XL review.....
Fits same in holster. I added the tungsten weights adds 1.4 oz to it. I like the added texture can't wait to get to the range to test it out.
What holster do you have? Is it kydex or leather?
@@donjohnson5424 kydex, fits same in my leather also. Only grip is different.
@@shesmysoulmate42 awesome, thanks!
Where you can get the weights for it? Same as the x5 legion weights?
@@renatoslife5373 the XFive weights will not work according to WC's site. Armory craft sells some as well.
Do you have them for selling?
I like the new grip. My slide release lever fell out during install. It was a pain to get back together, but the end result is good.
Wilson should offer the grip with mag release installed!
@@Asidebar You would think that would be pretty easy.
You have the nicest stuff on your channel 👍🏼
Did you say "stypical" at 6:03? ha! Great review.. I think I may pick one up.
deed he did.....
done x2 excellent upgrade love grip and angle also the flared magwell and grip get the weights its
very interesting, thats my edc and I like the idea of adding some weights to it
thanks
Great information
Good job. 👍
Good video, kind of a fail that they kept the sig proprietary rail... would have picked one up in a heart beat otherwise
Not really a problem, easily remedied via TD if you don't want to use the TLR7 Sub with the sig rail mount.
@@Osprey1994 problem is that lowers the lights too much
I just ordered a WCP365XL, Personally I like the proprietary rail. I have a Lima 365 laser for close quarters if needed. I can keep my 365 in close instead of reaching out to an attacker and still see where I'm shooting. Worst thing that can happen is the battery goes out and I'm back to iron sights. I want every advantage I can have.
Why? You’ve got Streamlight and surefire lights to choose from that work with the rail. They’re doing you a favor stopping you from picking some other shitty option really
A lot of people think hanging a light on a micro-compact is a fail. It would be a worse fail to make a grip module that wouldn’t fit in any standard 365 holsters.
I wear 2XL size gloves, and the only thing I don't like about my P365 is that my pinky does not fit on the grip. I am going to switch to the XL grip but can't decide which brand to buy. This one looks OK, but some other brands come with the mag release already installed, which eliminates my primary concern.
it only takes 5 seconds.....
@@googoo-gjoob I have been trying for over an hour, at least a dozen attempts, but the spring keeps dropping out and the button is stuck. I am ready to throw the whole thing out the window in frustration.
@@jamesmorrison7847 , the mag release spring?
Thats why i didn't get the P365, i got the X because it has a full size grip.
I just got my grip module today. I love the stippling on the front and rear of the grip. 🥰
I love the grip. It prints a little more than the regular xl grip
Any idea when they will be back in stock? I can’t find one anywhere. Guess you had to order when WC released them.
so, you removed the slide from an XL. then you removed the slide from a base 365.
then you used the FCU from the base into the new XL module with the XL slide?
why did you not use the FCU from the XL ?
They're the same FCU...
This looks to be a major improvement over the stock grip, but I am concerned about the comfort of the grip as I carry IWB @ 3:00. Great video!
@Frank Bonazza III Thanks, Frank. I may order this WC grip shortly.
@Frank Bonazza III have you ever used the houge grip that goes over the stock grip module? The factory grip was pressing into my side iwb and actually would cut it up a bit. The rubber overmold fixed this issue and I’m just concerned I’d be going back to that. I know you said that the WC doesn’t tear you up but did you have that issue was the factory grip? Just want to be sure
@Eric W Yes, sir. I always wear an undershirt and have never had a problem with friction. I ordered the WC grip (back ordered) and look forward to shooting with it.
Thanks for the review, been interested since the announcement of this grip. I might have to pick one up.
Mines coming tomorrow I'm pumped to swap it out and give it a go! For $65 it's a great deal
The texturing isn’t just aggressive, it’s downright abrasive. I’m going to try and smooth it out a bit with a Dremel. I also wish WC would have left the thumb groove smooth instead of textured. On the positive side, the circumference is just right for my hand. Unmodified, it’s a draw with the regular Sig grip module which is a bit too small but the texturing is perfect.
They wear down a bit after a while.
@@XrayMike17plus1 I literally have surgeons hands (retired oral surgeon and pathologist) and have very high tactile sensitivity. I probably should have used emory cloth instead of the Dremel because it took everything down. It’s not smooth and still has some “gripiness.” My main concern was the circumference of the stock grip which was way to smalll. The WC is just right for the P365XL.
@@ronjoseph7973 Given your situation I'd recommend gloves designed for high dexterity and flexibility- AKA shooters gloves. PIG makes some excellent gloves and Mechanix .5mm are also very good. Obviously they would be for range use and not every day wear. In a self defense situation your hands will likely sweat a lot so what may seem uncomfortable normally may help tou retain a solid grip when it matters.
@@XrayMike17plus1 Good idea. I just wish WC would tone it down a bit. I just bought the X-Compact grip frame for my Sig P320C and the texturing is just perfect.
I would definitely not Dremel, it takes very little rubbing with a higher grain sandpaper, like 1000 grit, to smooth out some of the texture. Dremel will get away from you before you even blink, way harder to control it and keep the amount removed even and you're gonna have to sand even more off after to smooth it out. Go small and gradual.
I have 365 x not xl which means I have normal size slide, will this still work?
All the sides are interchangeable between the grip modules. As in you could but a 365 slide on a 365xl grip module and vise versa. Should be fine, but I would also say do your own research just to be sure
@@Nathan-my8cn No you are right.
@@Nathan-my8cn they make a 365 grip module as well
Wilson Combat has a Complete compatibility chart on their website. I would advise to Look at it Carefully
Got mine in about a week ago and just got it back together. I've been suffering with Covid immunization induced authoritus flair-ups. Be careful not to remove any of the FCG parts as they are a royal PITA to get back together.
Love the fuller grip feel and the Wilson Combat burst design!
SigGuy on YT has very good detailed videos on almost anything Sig related from installs to reinstalling parts in case you find yourself mother f$cking your pistol lol
I guess I fail to see the point of buying a Sig P-365 and adding/using anything but the 10 round flush fit magazines, adding lights/lasers/red dots, longer slides, longer threaded barrels, bigger/longer/thicker grip modules etc etc etc.
The WHOLE point of buying, owning and carrying a Sig P-365 is it is a micro compact 10+1 9mm that is so small you can completely hide it while carrying it. If you are going to do all "that" ^ to it you should have just bought a Sig Sauer P-229 or GLOCK G-19 instead like most people do.
Higher capacity than p229, lighter, shorter, slimmer easier to carry than a g43 not to mention g19 even with all the mods. The point is it can do everything and still be easy to carry.
@@Gl0ckb1te
P-229s used to have a 13 round capacity in 9mm but they have 15 round magazines for them now. A GLOCK G-19 9mm doesn't need anything except tritium night sights. The standard GLOCK G-43 is smaller than the Sig P-365. The GLOCK G-43X is a little bigger than the Sig P-365.
Both the Sig Sauer (not SIG) P-229 and the GLOCK G-19 are better pistols than the Sig P-365 with decades long service reputations to back them up. It's only worth it if you want a small micro 9mm that can easily be IWB or pocket carried.
P365 is a micro compact for CONCEAL-ability ..... Adding all that crap makes it NOT conceal-able anymore.
I got the X and it fits in my pocket good AND it holds 2 more rounds than the P365 PLUS i got the magGUTS to add another 2 rounds for a total of 14 in the mag PLUS 1 in the chamber
@@ACommenterOnUA-cam
IF you are going to modify one of these turning into a P-365X is the best choice. You bump it up to 12+1 rounds and add very little bulk while doing it. The slide stays the same and it is nearly as easy to conceal as before.
