I installed the WC module this evening. Had a good bit of trouble installing the magazine catch and spring, took 6-7 tries to get it lined up, and then i had to put a good bit of pressure on the mag release button, to push the opposite side of the catch out far enough to install the lock.Once that was done, the FCU did not want to seat at the trigger end. I finally got it locked in place, and it works fine. Very nice grip, although i did not get the rods, will try it at the range first.
They make it look easy on the mag catch. It can be a bit of a pita to get in.. otherwise, great video and I like my module!!
My WC p365xl grip module arrived yesterday evening. I had it installed in minutes. The difference between the stock grip module and the WC is outstanding. The only thing that I found slightly objectionable was the texture of the front and back stippling. It was a bit harsh for my tender old fingers, so I masked off the grip with blue painters tape, only revealing the front and back strap. A little 220 grit sandpaper action made it satisfactory in a matter of seconds. Feels like a whole new gun and looks like a costly upgrade when in fact the price was not at all objectionable. I recommend it wholeheartedly.
Ordered mine as soon as I saw this video. Came in today and watched the video again, rewound a couple of times during install. It went together easy. Grip feels way better than the factory grip. Love it! Waiting for the sights to come out. Thank you.
Where do u order it from? I want a Silver or steel slide.
Wilson is one the best companies I have dealt with. Beautiful products,excellent workmanship and great customer service. They did a fantastic job on my Beretta 92. Highly recommend.
Right on
This is a good launch. I love the WC grip for AR's so this is a no brainer
I have the WC SIG P320 so, as you say "It's a no brainer". I will install it on my SIG P365, too.
Just installed mine! Mag release took a few tries but it all fits together nicely. Added the Tungsten weights(tip: use a sliver of tape to make sure they seat snugly with no wiggle). Gun feels substantially better in hand and the weight is solid and balanced. Headed to the range in a bit to test it out.
One thing they left out and it is VERY important. After removing the fire assembly, do not lay it on its left side. Lay it down on its right side. If it is resting on its left side, when you go to pick it up for reassembly, the slide lock will fall out of its nest, and you will probably need a gunsmith to reassemble it. I dropped mine off yesterday at a local gunsmith shop.
What in the world are you talking about? I have had the fcu out and about, manhandled all kinds of ways and installed a manual safety with ZERO issues. I'm genuinely curious what EXACTLY happened to your fcu that you think you have to lay it down in a specific manner??
@@orilion1820 I'll type slowly so you might understand better. This is what happened-I layed my fcu down on it's left side. When I picked it back up, the slide lock fell out on the table and I could not get it repositioned into it's nest. My friend and I worked on it for a few days. I finally took it to a reputable local gunsmith to reassemble it for me, and $100 later, it was back to normal. Also, the WC frame is WAY better than the Sig frame.
The same thing happened to me. When I picked it up the spring on the front end of the FCU and the slide release bar fell off. I worked on it for hours and could not get it back together. Very frustrating! I'm fairly experienced working with and on guns and have a great shop setup and enjoy watching videos on repairs/upgrades but this one had me - took it to my life-line gunsmith...
@@ftuomi After a few days, my friend and I gave up. I took it to a reputable and very long time gunsmith in town, and $100 later, it was good as new. Actuall, it is better than new as it has the Wilson frame. Much improved.
@@orilion1820Feel stupid? It’s happened to several people. You owe the guy an apology for coming across like a dick.
Ok... just received and installed and wow....it is a definite must do if you have larger hands.... you pinky does slide off into no man's Lans. Super grippy texture and a completely new gun feel... this is a definite HOMERUN Wilson... cheers
Thanks for the review!
Been using WC grip on my P320 for a while now. Just installed the WC P365xl grip today. Can't wait to bring it to the range and try it out.
Did WC remove the molding seam that goes down the middle? Uhg, so unattractive! I would upgrade just to get rid of the seam.
Just got mine this evening. Took 5 minutes to swap out the stock P365 XL grip module to the WC. Fits great, feels superior to the stock SIG grip, and should feel great when shooting.
Will find out tomorrow. Thank you, WC!
Very nice!
took me about 5 minutes to get the magazine catch installed and about 1 minute to do the rest. Great upgrade. You really have to press firmly on the mag catch to push through to the other side and then guess right as to which way to insert the lock or it will all fall out and you start over.
Same! I just installed mine an hour ago. I kept trying to bypass the plastic, with the spring, that's meant to provide tension for the spring! Silly mistake. Love the grip already.
Thank you. Installed mine in 5 minutes following along with you. Excellent!
How does your magazine seat now? Mine is harder to push in with the Wilson frame.
I always liked revolvers because you can get grips to fit your hand, this adds a whole dimension to Auto loaders now.
FCU has been a great solution for concerns about polymer durability. Autoloaders have had extensive grip customization for a pretty long time now. The S&W CXS is the first alloy frame that I have noticed it on though.
A new grip is fine and dandy but why have we not opened up the discussion as to why we are still playing these stupid games with these proprietary rails. Why is Wilson combat not putting a freaking Picatinny rail? It’s extremely frustrating to see a supposed all new grip module with all the same bullshit and no actual innovation. Yeah it looks clean and pretty neat looking but where is the functionality when it comes to installing aftermarket shit? If they’re going to be putting out grip module the aftermarket community needs to be putting out products that actually fit the damn thing. So far I only know of two that actually fit the proprietorial rail.
No offense to wheelgun lovers. There's just no point anymore. Except to own, and shoot to enjoy, those are the only benefits of a wheelgun in this day.
Got mine last week. Easy switch over from the factory one. It makes a great gun complete, and I dare say game-changing perfection! Anyone with any size hands will love it. The stock one is not bad but this one just fills the hand with a slight palm swell. The fit and form balance out the XL, and as a bonus, it looks great!!
I have p365x, so am I supposed to buy the xl module.?
@@MachineGod69 All the modules are interchangeable. If you want to maintain the same longer X grip length, go with the XL and you will love it. Enjoy!
@@hblegal8309 does the xl module still work?
@@whateverwhatever4476 Very well!
I received mine today and installed today. Feels night and day better already. Thanks for the video.
Perfect upgrade for my Sigs! Thanks Bill, my orders in!! 👍😎
Enjoy it
I just ordered a module and the grip weights for my P365XL (and another Wilson hat & patch, lol). Looking forward to trying them out!
I heard the WC Hat & Patch will tighten your shooting groups by 1-2 inches! 👍🏻
I've been hoping and waiting for this to launch. I ordered one for my P365XL to match my the grip modules on my three P320s and a few of my AR's.
About damn time!! So happy to finally be getting this frame!
My WC grip module was an excellent addition to my P365X and XL. Affords fantastic grip for my support hand. Now, I hope that WC produces a grip module for my P365X Macro.
This looks awesome! I just ordered one in tan! If my other Wilson Combat purchases are any indicator, this is going to be amazing.
Good choice!
Perfect fit. Easy to install with these instructions
Cool I like it! The 365 is just as easy as my Kel Tec P-11 to change frames which is nice for sure! Plus you always have an extra frame if you need it again.
That's a sweet looking grip module.
Just got mine in today for my XL and hopefully get it installed tomorrow
I have small hands which is why I chose the 365, the factory grip module is kind of boxy on the hands and on the Wilson Combat I can definitely feel my entire palm resting on the grip instead of just uneven pressure. Really nice how Sig makes it easy to swap out grips with the actual Serial number being on the fire control unit.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder--I know, but that Wilson frame looks so much better. Market dictates what gets produced, and I suspect the rail wins the day, but oh if only someone would make a frame, esp for the P320, without a rail.
Just ordered one for my XL!
Just put mine on. I like how in the video that little spring never falls on the floor three times like it does at my house. Maybe that's why I'm not working for Wilson Combat.
Grip feels awesome, thanks WC.
Sweet Ty just what I needed
Just ordered !!
I am going finish my coffee first, but then this is an immediate order for my XL. Thank you. I have thought since day one with this firearm that it only needed a little more aggressive texturing to be the perfect Florida carry gun. We sweat down here ya know. Thanks again and by the way, my 25yr old Wilson 38 super still shoots one hole groups and functions flawlessly.
Great!
Drink up, they going fast! Lol. Just sayin….😁
@Jay bird2963 Got my order confirmation email! Can't wait to try it out.
Steve out here rocking those photography skills... Nicely done! Can't wait to... Pack all these damn grips in the warehouse...
Thanks!
Ordered mine today
Sweet! Added a tan to my macro and a grey to my XL. Took less than ten minutes to do both. It’s not hard.😊
Have one for my X compact. Love it.
I NEED one for my X Compact! I'm happy with the Sig stock GM, but the WC looks saaaweet!
Right on
Feels so good
looks great.
Now I’m just hoping for a Wilson Combat extended thumb safety for the P365 🤙
Can't wait!!
Giving the Icarus frame a run for the money! Hope there's an xl version too. Pic rail next....?
There is a WC P365xl grip available too. Yes, a pic rail would have been a nice touch. Maybe they will do that in their Gen 2s.
I recently got a Wilson Grip for the P365 xmacro. I have xl long hands. This a the single most important upgrade i have on the pistol. The factory grip is blocky with hot spots and valleys which alters my nature grip. Even with a large back strap my nature grip point left on target. While I can train to compensate( I did), it is not at good as comfortable, natural point of aim. The Wilson grip does that. If you want to go out and spend $400 on custom module that's on you. For $75, the Wilson grip is perfect IMO.
Ordered 👍
Installed mine today. I love it. The backstrap appears to have slightly more "swell" to it and fits my big hand better now, and thepattern molded into the grip makes the skin on my side a lot happier now LOL
Wilson Combat should offer the plastic cap on the end of the 15 rd and new 17 rd Sig P365 mags to help better match the WC grip . HINT HINT WC might ought to consider making a similar frame for the Sig P320 AND M17 now too. The added beaver tail sure works good on the P365 and would on P320 too IMO. HINT HINT.
Also....they should mention IF your "take down lever" is not under "spring tension" or is not wanting to go into it's locked position, press the *slide lock down* and then position the take down lever into it's proper position.. Not knowing this will give a first timer a hard time.
Makes me want a Sig
better looking that's for sure!
Nice
Outstanding how to do video! Thank you!
What would be more awsome is if they would change the rail to a conventional pic rail.
BE SURE THAT the takedown lever is rotated FULLY FORWARD (Clockwise) before reinstalling the slide! If the takedown lever is in an intermediate position, the slide will jam horribly onto the FCU rails! Also make sure that the striker safety lever is in the DOWNWARD position, otherwise it will prevent the slide from moving far enough backward. If you have a manual safety, you need to switch it off in order to remove the slide.
Got mine!
$78.15 with shipping.
Will there be slides coming next before I buy one from sig? Can’t wait for my grip module
Any plans to do different colors of these? I have the NRA model XL that is FDE. I have these for both of my P320’s, but would really prefer to maintain the standard color configuration.
Just ordered a grip module for my 365XL and a weight kit.
Where’s the weight kit? I haven’t seen that kit….
@@Jaybird-oo3ih shopwilsoncombat.com/GRIP-WEIGHT-KIT-TUNGSTEN-WCP320-_-365-GRIP-MODULE/productinfo/NW734/
@Wilson Combat found em, got them ordered thanks!
Darn it, I looked at getting the sig P365 but the grips were just too small for my hands so I didn’t purchase the gun. Got a hellcat instead. I wonder how much better the WC will be?
Got mine yesterday in coyote and installed it. Perfect fit and finish. Just feel that the coyote color has a grayish tint and not a perfect match to original color. Overall, I am happy though.
Just bought mine! As close as I will get to owning one of your guns 🤣
I agree, I am happy to add their bullet proof add ins and springs to my 45 this grip module is a sweet addition to my XL though.
😅
I'm waiting on my WC module but want to know if people who've been using the Hogue grip on the stock module find it needed on the new WC module?
Any plans for OD Green or Gray?
Really wish it came with pic rail. oh well...maybe next version. I looks fantastic
Is there one for Reg p365 with manual safety ?
Watch for the small clip that keeps fcu pin in place. It’s shaped like a small c and without it your pin will slide right through frame and fcu. It falls off easily from the fcu and quietly!!!
how bout a video comparison of them side by side with the stock grips? I want an idea how this will fit in my hand.
There is a side by side photo on our instagram page.
Is the grip portion of the x module l any bigger from the front to the backstrap or is it mainly just a texture pattern that you guys changed?. Thank you
You can read the description on their website, they also have the tungsten weights to add in the new module to balance out the pistol
@@Jaybird-oo3ih I just got the new xl module today. It feels awesome. I can't wait to try it out
Can I get these grips for my Audi Quid , that look snazzy !
I see these two models. What about the P365x @wilson combat ?
Thx for your time.
Love y’all always lol
That the XL grip
It is compatible - www.wilsoncombat.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/WCP365-Grip-Module-Reference-1.0.pdf
@@gowilsoncombat we're looking for the extended grip, 12rd flush-fit version.
*Edited for ignorance
... WHICH you have in Black and Tan as well as a Black w/Safety Model!
Same way for 10rds and a black safety. If only I'd read!
They have them on the site, I ordered one
365x and Xl are the same module
Did they hire the guy who narrates all the truck commercials?
Is the Wilson grip larger than the factory P365 grip? If so, how much larger, and how much difference between the Wilson grip if you have a Hogue grip cover on the factory grip?
It is slightly larger. But most folks say it feels better. We posted a size comparison photo on our instagram page.
Got mine in today and installed it. Feels way better than the factory grip. For the price, you can’t beat it. I’m a happy camper.
Wish you guys would have converted the proprietary rail to a standard rail for mounting of lights and lasers.
Agree
That would've killed 98% of compatibility with existing holsters
The reason the rail was proprietary in the first place was because lights kept falling off the frame during testing.
It does enhance the 365 but what's the price !
I'm confused does this fit the p365x? Since it's in between the p365 and p365xl
Was it supposed to come with the magazine release? I didn't receive that with my tan p365xl grip module
Need one for my 365 XL!
They are available for XL too!
@@gowilsoncombat I didn't see a Tan XL version on the website. Coming?
@@gowilsoncombat Just Ordered one, Much love!
Will this Grip work on a P365 SAS C? This would be a great addition to my P365 SAS if it works.
Here is a compatibility chart. www.wilsoncombat.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/WCP365-Grip-Module-Reference-1.0.pdf
The P365 SAS is compatible.
Yes it’s compatible with all 365’s
Yes! I guessed it look at my answer on the last post sweet! I want one will it come in coyote tan in the XL?
Wilson Combat tan is coming for XL models
@@gowilsoncombat sweet because I have the NRA edition which is all tan which will look good with that Wilson Combat starburst pattern!
I have the model with the slide safety, is that available, frame needs a cut out both sides for the ambi safety.
Yes, that is available
Will this work on a regular P365 with a manual safety?
Yes, make sure you buy the right one. Here is the compatibility guide. www.wilsoncombat.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/WCP365-Grip-Module-Reference-1.0.pdf
Which modules will fit the standard 365? Will the 365XL module fit to make a 365X?
Here is a compatibility chart. www.wilsoncombat.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/WCP365-Grip-Module-Reference-1.0.pdf
I’m no fan of the P365, or the P320, but I’ll tell you this. Put a WC grip module on them and it truly transforms the guns. Put the module on anything and it transforms it. Nothing better.
Are you going to make on for the P365XL gun?
The P365 XL grip module is available now too!
Will a tan version of the p365XL grip module be released?
Coming soon
Don’t see the P365XL available in Tan. When will that be available? Thanks!
Coming soon.
does the p365xl grip module fit the xmacro?
The mag catch should be pre installed when purchasing
Need a vid on how to install the tungsten weights properly
Thank you for the suggestion.
I applied a sliver of electrical tape and they fit snugly with no issues
Piece of cake. Only took me TWO FREAKING HOURS. Here's a few tips to save you some misery if you're as un-handy as me.
1) The mag release spring is TINY and you only get one. If you drop it on your basement floor it will be a while before you find it again, if you ever do. Not sure why this doesn't come preinstalled (or at least ship with a spare spring).
2) Getting the mag release button to line up correctly for installation can be tricky. Make sure the spring is in its slot and try sticking your finger in the magwell to guide it. Again, why not preinstalled?
3) I could not get the FCU to seat properly. It would seat near the trigger or at the back, but not both. It seated in the old grip no problem. I didn't want to force it. After a (large) number of tries it suddenly clicked into place.
4) "Ensure the slide takedown lever is under spring tension." Note, however, that the takedown lever will not rotate unless you push up on the slide catch.
I suppose this is why my wife assembles our furniture...
5) Be careful none of the parts on your FCU slip out of the place when you're handling it, as mentioned by @paulespeseth72. Thankfully this didn't happen to me.
I’ve heard this narrator’s voice on commercials before. Think it was for a tractor or bbq grill or tools.
Is the rail size the same as original Sig or is it normal picatinny size?
Hope this means we r getting p365 x and xl Wilson models soon
They are out now too!
@@gowilsoncombat say what? On the website
I was just thinking someone should make a standard 365 module with a short handle and the added beaver tail length. You can switch to the flush plate when the need arises but use the extended 12 rd mag the other times. Just take my money! Take it again when the xl tan comes out.
Anyone know if there is a Wilson grip with a manual safety notch or cutout? This example does not have a manual safety cutout.
Safety and Non Safety versions are both available.
Will this grip module work on the p365 sas?
Watching this video you might think this is easy. It's not. I tried over a dozen times to get the magazine release to go in right before walking away, and trying fresh the next day. On about the 20th attempt I finally got it right.
When the new mag release button install is being shown it looks like the fire control unit is already in place.
Are the grip modules (standard or XL) compatible with the Sig Sauer LIMA365?
Yes on all standard and xl grip modules
Any light that fits the factory 365 module will work on our module
Is one available for models with a safety?
Yes those are available
What sights are on the gun in this video?
Vickers Elite, search for 909 on shopwilsoncombat.com
I see these for the 365XL and the 365 any idea when there will be one for the 365X?
The XL will fit the X
Check our compatibility guide. www.wilsoncombat.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/WCP365-Grip-Module-Reference-1.0.pdf
Thanks very much for the reply. I just went to a local shop and checked the frames and realize the XL and X have the same frame. I will be ordering one right now! Maybe two Black and Tan😎
If I have a Lima365 laser will it work on these grips modules?
Same rail
Any light that fits the factory 365 module will work on our module
