    I don't know who needs to hear this, but this might help someone in reference to maintenance. I've had my XL for about a month. I have the model with the paddle safeties. I took it apart and cleaned it, scrubbing in down and then running it through the ultrasonic cleaner. When I lubed and reassembled it, during the safety check, the safety lever got stuck in the on position. What this means is that if that happens, you can't disassemble the gun. I fiddled with it enough I was finally able to get it off safe. Inspection revealed that the safety lever bar was completely dry...I hadn't gotten any oil to it, which caused it to lock up. After oiling that bar (and the holes in the frame it passes through), and working the safety a few times, it started working as it should again. Not super important, just an FYI. Might help someone else.

      Not super helpful since I already bought one, but reaffirms my decision to forego the safety. I tried one with a safety in the store, and it just felt too anemic. Like, if I carried with the safety on, and I needed to shit my shorts and draw on somebody quick, I may have an issue getting the safety off. Good to know I also avoided a potential lubrication malfunction, and very important for anybody still looking. Thanks for sharing.

    Update: Had this for almost 2 months and I absolutely love it. Perfect for edc, I'd highly recommend it to anyone. The only issue I've had with it, I tried to install my romeozero red dot myself and ended up stripping one of the iron sight screws VERY easily. One started turning easily the other (I thought was doing the same) stripped in less than one turn. So be VERY careful if you're planning on installing your red dot.

      Try the Wilson Combat grip frame - I bought one and it was like night and day - perfect fit for my large hand size. It shoots like a full-sized pistol with the Wilson Combat grip frame. Give it a try! They're only about $65 bucks, so it won't break the bank to give it a whirl.

  • @JordiRuns

    So my first thought when purchasing and shooting the XL is that the grip was tiny for my hands. I have L/XL glove hands and the only thing that made the grip manageable on the XL was attaching the Hogue grip. It really filled my hand nicely and my pinky did not feel out of place. I really like how the XL shoots and it’s easily getting the most carry time in my rotation. Great video as always!

    True, everything you said! Terrific review and some darn good shooting by the entire HO family! I bought one of these mid-October and it is just the perfect carry pistol for me. Yes, it’s almost able to transition to home defense and I’m sure many will do so. An all-around terrific shooter with nicely manageable recoil that really needs no changes out of the box. Importantly, to me, it doesn’t need to use magazine extensions to get a full grip. And love that flat, 90° break trigger! I’ve been waiting most of my life for this gun. At 67yo you can imagine what I started out carrying. A 5 shot Chief’s Special Airweight; a POS that NOBODY wanted to practice with. I could shoot the P365 all day, it’s so enjoyable. I’ve also been able to clear the deck of most of my small single stacks thanks to the P365XL arriving at about the same size as my PPS M2 (but with better weight distribution). It’s amazing.

Lord forgive me for i have sinned. Now it’s in my holster, on my waist. Took it to the range, put it thru some boxes of 9mm, ultimately satisfied. Gdi.

The trigger is something I highly recommend updating, me personally, something just wasn't right. Had to update the romeo site for a swampfox green dot, I can grab the site-picture quicker for some reason. But all in all, I definitely recommend this sig.

This could be the magic mix of improvements to get a really concealable size. Nice review. Thanks to both you and KS.

    I usually watch your reviews within A day or 2 of the bell ringing. One of the things that really like about this review is that you clearly mentioned the diminutive size of the grip. I struggle to put my hand inside Magpul 3XL shooting gloves. So, I really appreciate the input on the size of the grip. I found that I could not hold the 365 because my forward supporting hand thumb extended beyond the end of the barrel so I had considered the XL. However, now knowing how small that grip is, I'm putting that idea in the "round file" too.
