Sig Sauer P365 X-Macro Review: Best Concealed Carry Gun Ever Made?

Today we're reviewing my everyday carry gun and what I think is the best everyday carry gun ever created: the Sig Sauer P365 X-Macro. I've actually got two of them, so we're covering both models, the customization, why it's the best carry gun for me, and yes, the couple of disadvantages, because there are a couple.

First up is the original X-Macro, the one on my person at all times, riding in a Bucks Holsters flex holster made right here in Florida. The headline is capacity: these magazines are 17-plus-one, and with the spare mag I carry that's 35 rounds sitting on my body at all times in a footprint I can almost cover with my hand. That's badass. This model has the integrated comp in the slide: honestly, I don't know quite about the function of it, I guess it helps a little, but it does look badass without aftermarket compensator protrusions hanging off the gun. It's cut for the Shield RMSC pattern, has a real beavertail to ride up into, a flat-face trigger, and a 1913 rail. I've added a True Precision gold barrel (a little flash nobody sees but you guys) and a Swampfox Sentinel on top, which I'm genuinely a fan of. It feeds on Hornady Critical Defense.

The second one tells you everything about why this platform is smart. Because the X-Macro is built around a modular fire control unit, same idea as the P320 and the Springfield Echelon, I took the slide assembly off a P365 XL I had no use for, dropped it onto an X-Macro grip module, and boom: a second X-Macro, basically the non-comped TacOps look. It wears a Romeo Zero I'm not in love with (a Sentinel is already on order for it), an aftermarket magwell, and swappable backstraps, mediums fit my hand perfectly. That gun lives in the get-home/active-shooter bag in my truck, next to an AR.

Now the disadvantages I promised. The Incog X holster I bought for it, I'm just going to say it, is not a good holster. Lots of reasons; I've already recorded that review and sat on it to give the thing a second chance, but it hasn't earned one. The Romeo Zero on the second build isn't my favorite optic either. And that integrated comp: neat looking, but I can't tell you it's actually doing much.

What makes the X-Macro special is that it's not just a carry gun. You're not losing anything on the grip, the slide is a bit longer, and you can genuinely put rounds down range with ease, so it works as home defense, truck gun, get-home gun, all of it. It's not like a 43X or a Hellcat where your pinky slips off the bottom. The only thing that comes close on grip feel is the Canik Mete MC9 with the extended 15-round mag.

Between the two of them, I've never had a misfire. Not one. They're extremely accurate, easy to maintain because the whole FCU lifts out for cleaning or trigger swaps, and endlessly customizable without buying a new gun. Which one do I carry? Honestly, the original: mostly because it's the one I've been shooting longest. Both are guns I'd put my life on.
