Thank you guys for the consistent and honest reviews! I had the P365 SAS, didn't like the sights and picked up the P365 XL. The size difference is not noticeable from the SAS to the XL as I had the 12 round mag for my SAS. The bonus with the XL is that you do not need to purchase the extended mag for a better grip if you have size L or larger hands. The SAS was too small to grip for me. I have had my P365's for over a year, easily 1k rounds through them. Not a single malfunction. Tight groups, it weighs nothing, and is easily concealable with jeans and a tshirt on no matter what type of carry you're doing. I carry center abdomen and often forget it's even there. I jog with it and even play a little solo basketball shooting around while my dog plays in the part. It's that comfortable hence the design and name, designed and meant to be worn 365 days out of the year. Other guns are too thick, too long, or they feel like cheap plastic and the grips suck. The P365 is hot and ready to go right out of the box. Great value for the cost in my opinion. I hope this helps you all out. Especially since there's some sort of buzz going around about malfunctions. I am unaware of that, and have had not a single malfunction with either of mine.

Thanks Hickok45! I carried the Sig P320C 9mm until the Sig P365 came out. Your review on that helped me decide to go with that, with 12 round magazines, as my EDC pistol. And I have 3000 rounds through it using mostly hotter 124grn NATO and +P ammo. Not a single malfunction of any kind. I have now switched from the FBI 135grn +P carry ammo to the SIG 365 branded carry and practice ammo as the NATO and +P ammo was LOUD! I got to thinking that if I had to discharge my weapon indoors, it might be a bit too noisy! Anyway, my sights are now set on the SIG P365XL. I was a SIG guy in the military (I carried a P226) and now because their weapons just fit like a glove for me and 'feel great in the hand' as you say. Thanks again Hickok45 & John!
Yesterday I rented 5 pistols to compare to the p365XL at the range. I have medium size hands and decided that comfort/accuracy while shooting was one of the most important things for me. Guns I rented were: • Glock 43 • Glock 26 • Glock 19 • M&P Shield • Taurus Slim 9mm (just to try a different price range) • Sig p365xl The sig out performed all of them. Glock 43 - Too long to carry. Glock 26 - Too wide to carry inside the waist band for me and the grip tore my palm up completely Glock 19 - too wide and too long (second most accurate shooting compared to the sig for my hand size though) M&P Shield - Felt inaccurate because of the skinniness of the handle and how wide the handle is from the back of the grip to the trigger for my hands to shoot it well. Taurus Slim - Long trigger pull, extremely inaccurate (could've just been the sites that were off or my shooting style) had a misfire Sig p365xl - Felt like it was designed around my hand, first shot was dead on the bullseye, 90 degree trigger pull, the ability to order with or without a thumb safety, capacity and other magazines that actually work with it, extremely slim compared to just about everything else, no misfires at all, beaver tail was great When comparing to it's little brother Sig p365 - round trigger, small beaver tail, shorter barrel, lower capacity, extended magazines make it the EXACT shape of the XL with the same rounds, magazine doesn't eject as well because it hits your palm and then pinches your pinky when you're reloading fast Sig p365xl - Flat trigger, longer beaver tail, longer barrel by half inch, higher capacity magazine, mag easier to eject, less recoil I'm planning to make the 365XL my conceal carry. It really is amazing. They're also planning to release a new site for it soon.

Glock 43 too long to carry??? It's shorter than the 365xl.
I agree absolutely and even more so. I OWN a P365 and use 12 rd magazines in it exclusively. I fired a P365XL, a friend's carry weapon this weekend. I did not burn it down or anything, just fired 40 rounds or so through it, and I can tell you it is a superior shooting weapon to the P365 especially with the 9BPLE that I carry in it. It is much easier to control with MUCH less muzzle flip due to the slightly wider grip swell and 0.6" longer barrel. It is just about as concealable as the two grips are equal in LENGTH with the 12 round mags inserted. They fit in the same holsters. The Optics Ready Slide on the P365XL is valuable for future upgrades, the FLAT TRIGGER made no difference, and the longer sight radius made it more accurate for me. I am NOT going to sell my P365, but I'm going to buy a P365XL as soon as this COVID-19 PLANNEDEMIC stupidity is over.

I pocket carry it to. Love my 365 xl nothing compares to it for the price hit bullseye center 1/2 inch spread at 30 yards all day long
Last year I bought my first carry gun - a new P 365. I take it to the range once a month and shoot at least 50 rounds. The gun has performed perfectly with only normal maintenance and it's actually pretty easy to break down and clean. I love it. Recently, I had an opportunity to shoot an XL. I noticed the difference that more mass makes in absorbing recoil, and for that reason, and the longer handle, decided to sell my 365 and get the XL. That's not meant to be a criticism; they're both marvels of engineering. It would have been helpful to let potential buyers know that they should plan for the purchase of a loading tool if they plan to load all 12 into the clip, or, be Superman. That is one stiff spring. Since I do shoot the 365, I'm qualified to say that your demonstration was some pretty impressive shooting. Thanks again.

I bought a P365 standard size Haze Grey frame (Go Navy!) with black slide for my wife a year ago. She loves the gun and is a regular Annie Oakley with it. Great review. As always, Thank you hickok45
It's so enjoyable to watch your videos. I held my first P365 XL today and the one thing I didn't like was the shortened pistol grip in my hand. I am glad to see that SIG makes a 15 rd mag that compensates with that grip. I did notice the P365 MACRO has a larger pistol grip and was extremely comfortable in my hand. The dimensions with the MACRO and the XL were almost identical with the exception of the pistol grip length. One thing I did notice on the MACRO is that I couldn't drop the slide with the mag inserted, at first I thought this was a flaw, but the salesman explained to me that SIG actually intended this so that the shooter couldn't load an empty magazine. He put a dummy round in and showed that the slide would drop and without it was impossible. SIG is brilliant and very thoughtful.

I think you nailed it - people with smaller to medium sized hands who Glock's feel large and uncomfortable with tend to love the 365's. The XL is the cross-over between the carry and the range gun which will appeal to a lot of people. This is one of the few/only double/staggered stack polymer handguns to me that required no grip modifications whatsoever to comfortably shoot. I have a more detailed review about this on my channel to discuss this in more detail...
I love my P365XL. I have small hands and its one of the few double stack handguns I can get a good purchase on and use all the controls without breaking my grip. It conceals nice and flat anywhere on the body with little inconvenience - with a good holster, of course. I was determined I was going to buy a hellcat that day. Test drove 'em both over 300rds and without question the P365/XL was worth the price difference. P365 recoil impulse was a lot softer than the Hellcat and even better with the XL. Great job Hickok(s) with the videos, keep em coming. Stay healthy.
The XL is really nice. Surprisingly easy to shoot for such a small light handgun. Glad to see that Hickok45 feels the same!
Dude your videos always make me smile. I have the p365XL with the red dot. I love it. Your take on hand size is spot on. I have mediumish hand size and this gun fits like a glove. Grinning ear to ear with every pull of the trigger.

My wife, son, and I all carry and shoot the P365. We have many small pistols, and the P365 has relatively little recoil. The P365’s grip can be made longer with a 12 round magazine, but the XL can’t be made shorter. I mostly pocket carry my P365, and it’s perfect for that.

Thanks so much, Hickok 45, for all the comparisons that you have done in this video. You have helped me decide on the Sig 365 rather than the XL as I have other stuff about the size of the XL, but not of the little one except a .380. If I can have stuff the size of the .380 in 9mm, I'd rather do it. Now that Sig has the bugs out of it, I believe it would be OK to buy. Most grateful for your help to so many of us.
You are the only person I know who can play a concert with a pistol.

I really like it. I'm often torn between it and my G43X for pocket carry.
The sound of hickok hitting the steel targets is my ASMR. Please never stop doing these videos.
Awesome small gun, very concealable. Cleaned it before ever shooting, not one malfunction first 200 rounds (150 AE 115 FMG, 50 Federal HST 124 +P). Totally love this gun, everything about it. My hand size is womewhere in the average (can nearly palm a basketball, but cannot palm a basketball), and the size, weight, capacity, grip texture, just love it.
I love my Sig P365. After 6k+ rounds, I haven’t had as much as a hiccup out of it. I’m sure the XL would be of the same fit, finish, quality.and reliability.

Great review and love your videos. I own both the P3 65 XL and a Glock 19 and both are great guns. But I do prefer the sig. for carry purposes as it does have a smaller profile and a little easier to conceal. One note that always gets me is when some friends will say the sig can only carry 12 versus the Glock 15; as a former law-enforcement officer I would say that most self-defense situations are going to be within 10 yards and it’s going to be over in a few rounds so I doubt the difference between 12 and 15 or even the shooting capability at 25 yards or longer downrange is much of a factor for defense carry reasons.

For carry my p365xl is way better than the glock 19. The 15 round magazine prints more than the 12 round mag. No big deal though. I always have one in the pipe so it is 12+1 or 15+1
Hickok 45 makes any gun that functions properly look amazing. I can see Bud's Gun Shop and Federal sends them so much. Great content. Always a a great way to start the morning. Everybody have a great day!
Love my SIG's, had them for year's with zero problems. Older P250 models, but still super dependable.
This is off topic but Glock should make a Hickok45 edition pistol. The guy is a legend. Im going to look into a Sig. Looks good and the trigger looks like it has a smooth pull.

It has a creep-free pull, and a very smooth break. It breaks at a comfortable distance for all hand sizes, and has a nice short reset. It's probably around 6 lbs, but it's so smooth it feels like 4. (that all goes for both of them) The flat trigger on the xl feels a little nicer to me. Nice sights on both too. Honestly I like the non-xl best for it's size, but I would really like to see an updated version of the non-xl with the flat trigger. I doubt we'll see a non-xl with the top plate, since the slide is so light any 'additions' would be pretty questionable for functionality without a correspondingly lighter spring.

I purchased A XL at a local gun show here in NC saturday 9/14/19. Went to range 9/15/19 shot it 210 times and was Great! Came home cleaned and found serious scrapes on top of chamber--- Not good. Called and shipped it to Sig today about this problem. I was assured they would completley go over it and correct the problem. I sure hope so, Really love the feel and being able to carry a smaller pistol ..
Hickok thanks for all you do and have done. Your soothing style has drawn new 2A patriots to the NRA. We need to support it.
I love my sig p365. Target re-accusition with the tritium front sight is a snap. doesn't fell like a small hand gun. I do not have large hands but they are not small either. The first time I had it out went through 200 + rounds and no hand fatigue with that. It is just a hoot to shoot. Carry it daily. No failures with it what so ever. This is my second sig. Looking forward to the third sig.
I'm 5'7" so the gun is basically perfect for me. I still prefer a full grip on my guns so, instead of the p365, I went with the p365x. Which is the version with the XL frame but the regular 3.2 inch barrel. I think it's basically the perfect gun for me. I can get that full grip but it's still super light and I don't have to endure the annoyance of carrying a g19. I know some people love it but I always hated the weight of the g19.

Just picked mine up today and it feels just about perfect. I wanted the XL, but they only had ones with manual safeties which was one of the reasons for me switching.. so I went with the 365X and not disappointed at all. I'll take this gun to the grave with me.
Owner of XL... and my FYI I did not rush my purchase of this p365xl weapon. I am 60yrs old, 6'1, #260pds, large muscular and large hands. Retired and traveling via RV all 50 states. I wanted concealability, but I have always carried large duty framed weapons. So a longer sight plane and something that fit my pickle finger hand was required. I did add an ARMORY CRAFT extended 1mm mag release extension/Nimrod pinky extension on 12rd magazine (for 10rd mags, but with modification fits 12rd very neat and nicely), and a Hogue grip. There is no extra printing in concealing my weapon. I carry in a Vedder LighTuck, or Versacarry holster +Mag holster dependent on my enviroment. My choice of rounds was Cival Defense 50gr for high population environments (no over penetration) and 147gr HST/standard #2 loads. I must say the 150gr HST Micro works wonderful as well for double tap with less recoil, being made specifically for short barrel weapons. This is a wonderful weapon to EDC, and I carry it every day every where. I highly suggest anyone with a large frame and hands not to be leery of purchasing this weapon. I purchased 2 weeks ago the HOLOSUN 507K Micro Red Dot from KENZIE Optics....I wear Bifocals and front sight acquisition quickly is at times is hard to pickup on "ANY PISTOL" I carry. It should not print at all on my concealed holsters and look forward to this addition. I am RETIRED NYS LEO of 36yrs carrying under HR218 Bill and find this weapon extremely accurate and versatile. Now a civilian I pray as most RESPONSABLE weapons carry person to never to use it.....but if the need be, it is there.
I am a fan of Hickok 45 and was impressed with this video. I swapped my EDC from a M&P Shield 380 EZ (8+1 rounds of Hornady 380 95 gr FTX) to the Sig P365 XL (12+1 rounds of Hornady 9 mm 115 gr FTX) The Sig is smaller than the Smith and uses more powerful rounds. I keep my EZ in the night stand now.

Just bought one after dry firing it at the store for two weeks straight. The dealer probably thought I was never gonna buy it but I couldn't find a single bad review or feature I thought was a deal breaker. Die hard glock fan but the 43 is just wrong ergonomically. Cant wait to carry this new gun.
Another great review from Hickok45. The XL shoots better than the 365, less recoil, and a really smooth trigger. No more striker drag with the XL either. I love the XL but I still prefer the 365 as an everyday micro carry.
Thanks for making your videos! After much research and many video reviews I purchased the sig p365XL and you are right, it feels perfect in the hand! Amazing grip! I got rid of my G43X because it had way too much recoil for me. I think men have stronger grip and can control the recoil much better. Not that I’m a wimp but try as I might I just couldn’t control that recoil. This 365XL is much better! Very happy with it and this will be my CC gun.

Hey Ed, hope all is good. May I ask how reliable the p365xl compared to the Glocks? where I live the Glocks r out of stock for many months but the SIGs r available. Also, good maintenance workshops r very rare so the reliability is a huge factor for my decisions. appreciate your feedback
I carry my P365 off duty and as a back up . I not had any issues with the pistol. I bought a 15 round mag for it this past weekend . It was defective as was the next two magazines at Royal Range. They were nice about it and tested the last two before I walked out of the store.
To put it in perspective how thin the 356 is, it's about a tenth of an inch thicker than my lc9s which holds 7 rounds... Pretty awesome
I bought a 365 last winter and found it to be a great shooter. I actually shoot it better than many non-sig full size guns😉. I’m seriously thinking of getting the 365XL since I predominantly belt carry. Thanks for the review!
Thanks so much for the review. I’m going with the 365 xl. Fits my hand great.
