      I really want to trust the 365XL. However, you are the only 2A guy who hasn't reported return to battery issues.
      How much beefier is the XL firing pin from the latest regular p365?
      I think it would be worth switching out and sticking with the regular version with extended mags for better grip.

    I’m not sure holding the 365XL and 48 next to each other in a video really does the justice for the size difference between the two guns. I was surprised at how much smaller the 356XL actually is in a practical sense. If any of you are thinking about buying one of these guns, you really owe it to yourself to hold them side by side and feel for yourself.
    Now, personally, I went with the 48. Which is kind of weird because I have much smaller hands than Tim and he said he preferred the XL. Which goes to show, it’s personal preference. But I wanted an easily concealable pistol with as much grip and barrel as possible. I wanted to be able to get a full grip. The slightly bigger 48 gave me that. The XL still felt good. But the 48 just felt better.
    I’ve found the 48 to be very concealable in the real world, no matter what I’m wearing. I’m kind of surprised how similarly easy it is to conceal compared to other guns that are smaller (like my wife’s Sig 238). And I’m very impressed with the felt recoil. That little extra barrel (and presumably the extra grip) makes such a huge difference compared to other small single stack 9mms (like the 43, 938, shield, and XDs). But, I would have to assume the XL is just that much more concealable. It fit perfectly in my pocket, where the 48 is just a hair big for that. I haven’t shot the XL, but everyone I talk to who has says the exact same thing as Tim. They all say the felt recoil is dramatically less than the 365, or the other smaller guns I listed. And I agree with Tim, I prefer the 48’s trigger to the XL. It’s nothing special. But it’s smooth, and it’s perfect for a carry gun. The XL is still a bit spongy.
    Just wanted to share that opinion for anyone who cares to read. Last side note, I wasn’t that impressed with the 43x (and I thought I would be). I think I’ll be buying a 365 or good ol 43 soon to replace an older 938 as my smallest carry gun. But the 48 is my new go-to, and I have a feeling it’s going to be for a very long time. I love that thing.

  • @Texas_DIY
    @Texas_DIY 5 років тому +20

    I think you kind of missed the point of the idea of swapping the uppers. It's not to get a shorter barrel on the XL body, it's to get the better XL upper on the smaller more concealable body of the normal P365. This gives you the full grip (with the 12rd mag), or, you can opt to the smaller more concealable grip of the 10rnd mag, while maintaining the better upper.
    So the question is, how does it feel, how does it shoot with a 12rnd mag P365, and the XL upper?

BUT I just cant get over the hump trusting tier polymer guns- I had one of the early P320s- garbage, not to mention the safety issues with the trigger- then my dad purchased not an early, but i guess "early mid" series of the 365- he had 2 broken firing pins and major primer drag (more than whats acceptable) after/during less than 400 rounds. I really like the feel of the 36XL but its like trying to get back in a relationship with a really pretty girl who says she loves you, but has cheated on you twice.

    “Why in the world...” I’d suggest you may have gotten the “swapability “ question backwards. I’ll bet it’s more like “original” P365 owners wondering if they can buy an XL upper for it and cure all their troubles. Also, hoping that Sig might make such a kit available.
    I did the same concept with my P320 Sub Compact. Good for Sig for hearing you talk about the grip being the concealability problem! And it shot well. But not really accepted very well (and seems to have been discontinued). So, I bought the X-Compact grip module and added that flat trigger (you failed to mention the 90° break - my favorite part) and, presto change-o! I have an almost-X-Compact! Viva modularity!

      Glock has had its fare share of reliability issues as well. Glock 42 for an example. So Glock came out with the 42 first which was 380 and that had 3 revisions, you can tell by the number on the mag.
      If glock didnt come out with the 42 first, how do you think the 43 would have been reliability wise in 9mm.
      SIG could have easily come out with a SIG p365 in 380 and work out all of the kinks first befor their 9mm. But they chose not to because 9mm is what people want.
      So now SIG gave what the people want in a small compact 9mm the size as a glock 42 and people are saying how much Glock is better?
      I appreciate companies that bring new ideas to the table. It helps make things better in the world.

I test fired a P365 and everyone seemed to love them (even MAC's criticism about the "primer drag" seemed to be addressed after a few years), so I got one as my first 9mm pistol. However, two range sessions made it clear that the area where the baseplate meets the magazine was digging into my hand and I didn't want to keep shooting my new gun. Thank you for helping me feel less crazy, it seemed like no one else had this happen to them.
      After mulling it over, I went to trade in the P365 for an XL, but the gun store only had the marked up XL so I looked at other guns and got something else. I might try the XL in the future (I liked a lot about the P365), but I'm happy with my G48 for now.

    I think putting the xl slide on the standard P365 is a great idea. If Sig offers them separately, I'm going to pick one up.

The other plus, is that you can run the red dot optic with the longer slide, giving you a better longer range set up.

    My friend that worked there also mentioned they’re releasing a mini RDS for the model that will retail at $189, has a 10 year battery life, and has integrated rear sights built into the RDS.

    I've had great luck with the P365XL. First time I shot it, I had some returning to battery issues after about 200 rounds, but I had not cleaned it from the factory. Cleaned it, ran well ever since. About 2,000 rounds or so through it, wear minimal for the count. I usually run hotter ammo too.

      I think the point of this video was to show concealability. The 365XL is a much smaller and more easily concealed gun that holds more rounds and comes standard with nights sights and a great trigger. The Glock is great but can’t compare to it out of the box. The P320 more closely aligns with the Glock 43X or 48, and the P320 is a fantastic gun. Nothing against Glock. Sig just makes a more versatile stock gun for the price.

The XL seems much improved but, (in the gauntlet) I'd bet it will have failure after failure caused by the mag judging from the, can't unload it without the follower sticking thing. just imagine what dirt, sand and mud will do.
