I just bought the X-Carry and I have shot a little over 100 rounds through it. The trigger is great, the grip is great and I can conceal it just fine. I need a better holster, but the one I have will work for now.

One advantage of the X Series that gets scant attention is the ease of racking the slide. My wife loves her M&P 9c and shoots it extremely well, but she can't for the life of her rack the slide. We rented the XCompact yesterday. She shot it even better than the 9c and she could rack the slide. I expect her to buy herself a late Christmas present later this week.

Do you feel like you can get higher on the gun?

Just purchased the X-Compact. The first 5 rounds out of the box were dead center. Felt great in my hands. The trigger is fantastic and has a short, crisp reset. The trigger weighed in at just under 4 pounds. My M18 weighs just over 6 pounds. My X-Compact has the upgrade which all newer models have from the factory. It is now replacing what was my most favorite carry gun, the H&K VP9SK. Don't get me wrong because I still love the H&K. I like to have more than one option. Also, if you hold the gun correctly your thumb will not be touching the slide stop release button. BTW, great video, thanks.

My primary EDCs are a Walther PPQ and a P320X Compact. Both have their strong points.

These are built to be modular. You can buy either a full size or compact grip for either. As you demonstrated the slide fits on either. The only thing you really need to do is figure out which slide you want and you can then have BOTH guns by swapping the trigger group from 1 to the other.

OK, now I understand. Well said!

I have 9- p320/p365's. I like the P320 XCompact the best it feels a little better balanced, probably because the carry slide is 4/10's of a inch longer and a little front heavy. Not a massive difference but enough that I can tell. It isn't a game changer at all, just picking on some things, if I didn't have the X Compact the Carry would be just fine. You make a lot of good videos, keep them coming! Another video you might make is the new Walther PDP vs Walther PDP F Series.

I've shot both and they are very comfortable to grip. My preference is the compact. It fit like a glove in my hands. I recommend testing them before you make the purchase. Great pistols.

I like sig because they do a lot of innovating compared to other manufacturers. Granted, they've had their problems but that's a part of moving forward

Had the opportunity to handle the The X-Compact at my local shop on 2 separate occasions (different ones for those wondering), and the trigger issues you mentioned on your initial vid were present on both: longer than expected creep on the break, and a much longer reset than expected. Having owned an X-Carry, I expected the same break and reset. However, I feel like the trigger is the same as a standard 320 with a flat-faced shoe. It almost feels luke I need to buy a X-Carry and wait for the X-Compact grip modules to be available, or wait another 3-6 months for Sig to address the trigger. Other than that, the grip module fit perfectly in my hands and I was impressed with it. But I'd be lying if I said the trigger had me second guessing a purchase, and going back to an X-carry. TLDR: Trigger is questionable imo. I suggest an X-Carry and wait for an X-Compact grip module to swap out.

As much as I love the 365, I think you made a good choice. The 320 fills more of a "do it all" role than the 365. Plus, if you wanted to, you could spend 40-60 dollars and buy the "compact" size grip for the 320 and then with a simple switch, you'll have an even more compact carry gun. You'll just have to buy a 15 round magazine.

It's official, I love them both.

I'm pretty much Ruger, but in my younger years, so very many years ago, I was pretty much Remington, but I also liked Mossberg; what can I say, I took after my dad who only trusted American. I don't recall where I found you, I think I saw KS and decided that I, as a fellow Kansan, even though I'm hurtling towards #70, might learn something from you. I think the reason I like Ruger was that, after I was disabled in 2003, and quit daily carrying my trusty old H&R Model 929 nine shot 22LR revolver with a 6 inch barrel, and then was assaulted in 2009 by a couple of punks, I had gone to Cabela's in Wichita to buy a couple of carry pistols. I liked the look, size, and feel of the LC9, so I bought two ... and one LCP. Later, I decided that I wanted something a little different. The only complaint I had about the LCP and LC9's was that the trigger pull was kind of long, so I bought two Ruger SR9Cs ... and an SR9. Now you need to understand that that I was raised on a farm and after graduating Kansas State, along with my wife, we settled in Great Bend, where she taught Jr. High math and I worked in radio. We never liked living in the "city," so when her granddad had to be placed in a nursing home, her dad, who also lived on his granddad's homestead on the Santa Fe Trail, was stewing over what he should do with his dad's house. The house was approaching 100 years old and was last remodeled in 1916. The roof was due to be replaced, the plumbing was mostly iron pipe, there were two floor furnaces and a wall heater on the main floor and nothing upstairs, there were seven (7) fused electrical circuits ... and one unfused circuit with NO shut-off, and had so many layers of peeling wallpaper. My wife and I never liked living in town, so we talked it over and decided to ask her dad if we could buy her granddad's house. He was shocked and, at the same time, relieved that we wanted to live there, but my wife wanted to make sure I was okay with living only about 100 feet from her parents. After three years of hard work the house was remodeled enough for us to move in on the main floor while we finished the upstairs. We moved in in 1976 and that fall I rented some farm ground and started farming. Two years later her uncle died and his widow wanted us to buy their farm. So you can see that money was pretty tight, but we were living on a farm and were farmers. We had an overabundance of rabbits at the time because the coyote hunters had done a bang-up job of thinning the coyotes ... a little too thin to me. I had received a Remington Nylon 12 bolt action rifle for Christmas in 1963, and that was my only weapon, but I couldn't see carrying it with me on my tractor, so I decided I would buy a rifle with a wood stock, but I ended up with a H&R Model 929 nine shot 22LR revolver with a 6 inch barrel and a great Hunter holster for 79 bucks. I wore my revolver on my hip all of the time, especially when I was working ground on my old John Deere 3010 tractor, without a cab, and I would shoot rabbits on the run with my trusty pistol, then my three legged Beagle would pick them up and carry them home to bury until they were ripe. Rascal could catch them for himself, but he never turned down one that I shot. I got good at shooting, especially because when I was frustrated, upset, or angry, which seemed to be often, I would head out to the big trash pile on our farm and I would shoot bottles and cans until I felt better. I got real good point shooting. I was shooting rabbits on the run while still running the tractor down the field, and I could usually hit them on the first shot. I loved watching them crumple up and roll when they were hit. I quit wearing my pistol all the time after I was disabled and I doubt that the punks would have bothered me in 2009 if I had had my pistol on my hip. Lesson learned and that was when I bought my first two handguns for personal defense. I carried concealed after that, but I didn't get a Concealed Carry Permit until after Kansas passed Constitutional Carry. I only got it then because I ride down past OKC with a son-in-law fairly frequently and I wanted to make sure I was legal in Oklahoma. So now you know too damn much about me, but at least you will know where I'm coming from. Also, since I was assaulted I haven't been able to stop buying guns. It's not a voluntary thing. I can go for several months and suddenly I'll see a gun and I see a need. My wife says that I hoard guns like she hoards fabric ... and she has a LOT of fabric, but I think I might have more guns. I've lost count. My youngest granddaughter came in today, jumped on my lap while I was in my recliner, and told me that I have too many guns and she was going to take them. I told her that she couldn't because when I kick the bucket her daddy would get a fourth of them ... each kid gets a fourth. Some of my guns are very special to me and I hope I can get them all together sometime so I can tell them about them, like the Remington Model 11 shotgun, manufactured in September 1926, that my Okie Grandpa Adams sold to me in 1980 because he had heart trouble and needed the money, but he always wanted me to have it because he knew that I loved hunting pheasant. He didn't know that Kansas finally had deer and a deer season and he sold his deer rifle to a friend. Anyway, his dad gave him that shotgun brand new in 1926 and it was one of the few things saved when his house burned to the ground in the early 1950's. I think, from the looks of it, that he kept it in his pickup, but I know that he used the heck out of it because the blue is completely gone from the barrel and there are only a few spots on the stock that still have a hint of finish. He was a tall man, but he had cut an inch off of the stock that I had to add back on. I miss that old man. Anyway, I've rattled on long enough. Take care of yourself, especially your back and knees. Let me know if you want to come out for opening weekend of pheasant season. My youngest brother comes in from Virginia with some friends and some of my kids come home then, too. I don't get out to walk the fields, though I dearly wish I could, but I do sometimes block the end of the shelterbelts and tree rows. Till then, keep your barrel clean.

P320X Compact for me . It just makes more sense for me and theres just something about its aesthetics that I like more. The more concealable the better.

Wow didn't realize the carry slide would work on the compact frame! That is cool to know. I'm a Fairly skinny guy so to get a good conceal carry pistol I usually have to sacrifice slide/barrel length to get a smaller grip length, but with that interchangeable slide I might be set!

X-compact is more evolved and refined. Might very well be the best hand fit, feel, and balance of any gun in its class. Got to get one.

I really like your straight forward comparisons. I would like to see you compare the P320 X Compact and the P365 XL. For many, this is the tough decision to make for concealed carry. Is the 320 just a little too big, or is the 365 just a little too small?

I actually really appreciate you pointing out all the minutiae, sometimes it matters!

The X-series grip frames are better than the original grip frames, to me. The X-Carry is similar to the G19X aesthetic... the X-Compact is more like if Glock did a G26X(26 slide on a 19 frame). I prefer the X-Carry.

@Philip Freeman so, two things... We're talking about slide releases, not mag releases. But on that note, if you've got gorilla hands it's very easy to hit the mag release with your right middle finger. That's not incompetence, it's anatomy. Having a high, aggressive grip on the frame of the gun can impede the function of the slide lock, especially if you've got big hands. Either preventing lockback on empty or inducing premature slide lock. That issue is exactly why the Kagwerks extended and raised glock slidelock was created. Would you consider Scott Jedlinski or Bob Vogel incompetent or inexperienced shooters? How bout Steve Fisher? Them and MANY other people deal with the same issue. Bob Vogel literally crams cut down 33 round glock mag springs into 17 round mag bodies to overcome it. Just because it's never happened to you doesn't mean it can't happen period.

@Philip Freeman I do agree with Sam on this one. I only ever hear this with plastic guns, but it's an extremely common issue with those who use an aggressive high thumbs forward grip on Glock-style pistols like 320's, M&P's, p10's, etc. It's why I sold my Walther PPQ and probably the main reason that gun hasn't gotten much traction. Switched to a Glock and stopped getting the problem. M&P's don't do it to me either, but VP9's and Walthers do. It's also not a sign of incompetence, it's a sign of using a high thumbs forward grip like a competition shooter does. In fact that's where I learned all this stuff and those people tend to be the ones who complain about it the most. And I do believe that USPSA GM's are among the best pistol shooters in the world. I don't know how you could spend any amount of time in the pistol shooting world and not have heard someone mention this issue before.

Osage County Guns is now selling X-Compact Frame Modules!

I have an X-Carry, and so long as you pick a holster that fits that, you can swap the grip module for the compact and it will fit both of them, permitting you the best of both worlds for either duty or concealment. HOWEVER, not all X-Carrys (carries?) are created equally. If you want the same mounting options as the X-Compact, your product number must end with R2, denoting the X-Carry version that shares the M17 optic footprint. The version without the R2 at the end will only mount the objectively inferior Romeo 1 (not Pro) optic. I learned this the hard way as Sig expunged the non-R1 model from their website and only made mention of the R2 at the time of purchase. At least aftermarket slides exist and factory slides go for decent prices.

Do you know anything about the p320 XCarry LE? They model no ends in R3. Do you know if those are compatible with other red dots aside from the Romeo?

The small milled slot behind the barrel on the X Carry, is a chambered round indicator.

I’m liking the compact. Thanks for the side by side!

Another great video. Love the granular approach on this one. As an instructor, I try to keep a good variety for my students (that's how I justify my collection to my wife..lol). After this, I'm seriously thinking about trading one of my x-carry for an x-compact. I really appreciate all the great work you put into the content. Thank you!

Thank you Jim! Excellent justification on the collection... I tip my hat to you there. I do recommend trying out the Compact. It’s fantastic. Cheers as always brother!

I have both, the X-Carry is my favorite 9mm of all 9mm pistols, the XCompact is a close second, and for me, is a good bit easier to carry AIWB.

I have both and they're awesome to to shoot. There's not really anything different when shooting them. In my opinion they shoot the same. Yes I'm a sig fan boy..😆

So if you could have only one. ;) which is it?

I have the compact. Fun and easy to handle. Love it.

Just picked up the compact, why you ask, the compact just feels better in my hand which in turn leads better shooting of the gun, plan and simple!

Never cared enough about the P320 line until they introduced the X-series grip design and trigger. Those two changes make it a feel like a totally different gun (which it basically is when you change the entire design of the grip/frame). The original 320’s just never did it for me. Once I got to mess with a couple of the X models I ended up buying an X-Carry. My only complaint is the way they did the optic cut. That’s one thing I make sure to mention to anyone if they’re interested in a 320. The X-series is the one to get; but don’t count on the optic cut as a “feature”. The whole thing sss handles poorly in my opinion. I don’t get why they decided to have the rear irons come off with the cover plate. IMO, any gun being used for a serious task (concealed carry, carrying for work, etc) should have the capability of co-witnessing the irons with the red dot optic; especially when you consider the optic options for Sig’s optic cut. No plate or option to mount a Trijicon RMR from the factory? The DeltaPoint is a decent option but I didn’t think my X-Carry was set up for it; only the X-Compacts and M17’s. Sig’s optics just aren’t up to snuff just yet from what I’ve seen first-hand and according to my go-to sources. I find it kind of shitty of them to sell these guns with their own optic cut in an attempt to get people to buy their sub-par products. Any optic-cut handgun from the factory should have the ability to mount a wide variety of options that are available. Of course that’s just my opinion. FN got it nearly perfect with their optic mounting solution. Having your slide cut specifically for your optic of choice is still the best route to go; but FN’s system on their 509 Tactical is pretty awesome. Everything you need to mount your optic or choice is included with the gun from the get-go; AND they’re the only ones that include suppressor-height irons that allow you to cowitness whatever optic you use (which could have simply been because the Tactical includes a threaded barrel, they may not have done it specifically for cowitnessing capabilities).

Looking for first handgun. Stumbled into the Sig world of P320s. I seem to like the compact

I have big hands but short fingers, the X Compact is the most perfect fitting pistol I've ever held.

Great,, Just what I needed... Always wanted a side-by-side...Hope to HAVE both-using a MINIMAL conversion.. Thanks

I don’t know if you noticed but the grip angle is also different. The x compact is closer to that 90 and is why u get that tighter grip. Love the video

Own both. X carry is better but the x compact grip module is way better. Put carry on compact grip module and you got a very capable and comfortable gun.

The x carry just fits like a glove

I enjoyed your video ! I found your video because I’m building a P320 n I trying to learn as much as I can , I ordered a Compact medium frame ;still have to figure out slide n barrel lengths ; especially after you put the carry slide on the Compact ; I’m thinking to get all parts I have ordered come in , n decided if I want to build a Carry P320 !!!!!! Thanks a great deal for doing this video in the exact way you did it !!! 😷💥💥🔫 Patrick

I have actually gotten and used both. I started with the compact, so it is the same slide as the X-Carry. The X-Compact is actually the original subcompact slide. My observations, not mentioned in the video. To start, I like in this order: The original or the m-18 style grip (in a small) & the Wilson Combat grip both equally The X-carry grip The original 320C grip (15 rounds in a small) The X-compact grip, which I sold off. Having larger hands the original p320c the grip feels almost short, my pinky is right where the mag & grip meet. Both of the longer grip versions fix this. They also are contoured out a little to help assist your grip higher and just feel like a better hold. The X-compact doesn’t do this, it contours more inward on both the front strap and the back strap at the bottom of the grip. An added bonus is the extra 2 rounds, not a deal maker, just a bonus, for about 1/3”. The deal breaker for me on the X-Compact was two fold. The 1st I didn’t like the look of the slide extending past the grip, and it does allow almost, not quite, for a gap right there. The 2nd with this set-up, it did not fit in my current holster. What!!! My thinking is it looks to be a bit wider maybe, and the X-compact grip shorter in length. By comparison all 3 of the others work in my holster just fine. For the Wilson Combat grip, I have to tighten the retention up quite a bit, which suggests it’s actually thinner where it matters concerning holster retention. YMMV

It’s crazy that this video was made exactly a year ago the day I decide to attempt and finalize my first Sig, I think I’m going to go XFive Legion. Nice vid bro, definitely helped me finalized my decision.

2 years later.. how did that go with making your first Sig the XFive? I'm in the same situation as you right now. Torn between the Xcarry, compact, and normal P320/Legion

Long time Glock guy.....I picked up the x-carry pro recently and for my hands.....the grip felt like home. Better for ME than my G19 or the G45 I handled before deciding on the x-carry pro

I conceal carry the x carry. Love the gun. Also like access to 21 round mags that fit it. But not the compact. But a great all around gun.

That slide lock is a problem when shooting. Slide will lock open with rounds still on the mag if you have a tight high grip which I have. I will stick with the Xcarry until Sig tightens up the slide lock to the frame. I know several people that have encountered this problem as well.

Just picked up a new X Carry. Coyote with a digicam slide. One of a kind, my favorite gun I’ve owned

I went to my local gun shop to pick up a long wanted Beretta compact in Inox, and they had the xcompact with the stainless slide and black frame on sale for $569... It was sweet. Felt good in the hand and actually beautiful for a polymer gun. I was tempted to leave the beretta since they were the same price.

When did they start making the X Compact in a stainless slide and at that price? Are you sure it was the brand new X Compact that I believe is only in black? If it really was the X Compact, I'd get it because that shop mis-priced it big time, lol. Thank you and cheers!

KSGunGuy yes I’m sure. I was surprised when I got home and looked the prices up and most are over 600 for all black. Do you have an email address that’s public?

This video was super helpful to me, thank you. I had not held either, but based on this video I was leaning towards the XCompact. My Glock 17 is a bit large for my hands, so want to swap it. Called a gun shop yesterday and they told me they had the XCompact in stock, so I drove 40 minutes to check it out. When I held it, it didn't feel as small as I was expecting and I was disappointed. After 10 minutes of playing with it I noticed that the mag inside had a 17 capacity marking. I told the shop employee that didn't make sense to me because the XCompact mag has 15. He said 'huh' and scratched his head. I got on Sig's website on my phone and showed him the specs. Turns out he was showing me an XCarry and didn't know it. They didn't have the XCompact in stock after all. Luckily there was another gun shop 10 minutes away who said they had it when I called from this shop. I drove to the new shop which was much nicer and their inventory was on the walls and clearly marked. I then held the XCompact and it was perfect for my hand. Those 3 and 3.5 mm grip length differences feel quite different in the hand. I have decided I will buy the XCompact as soon as I sell my G17, which I'm listing for sale today. Thanks again for your video as it was exactly the info I needed. Beware of shop employees that lack knowledge and educate yourself before purchasing anything. FYI folks, I have the p365 and just ordered a SAS slide directly from Sig which arrives in 2 days. It's different from the slide that comes the p365 SAS gun in that it is not vented, so it'll go with the non-vented barrel in the standard p365. I don't like the vents on the SAS gun or the screwdriver operated take down slide, so a great alternative for me.

@IamGroot786

I bought that same SAS slide for my 365 too. Don't know if you've noticed, but with that slide the striker drag is virtually gone.

After a lot of thought I chose Sig Sauer to be my prime choice for pistols my first Sig was a p365 born in Feb 2019 "can't remember date of the top of my head" and of course it's not the best size to start pistols but Everytime I go to the range I get better grouping, tighter grip and ended up being ambidextrous when it comes to firing pistols both hands feel comfortable in different aspects. But now I've come to wanting a full size gun of course so I've been look at p320s in general but notice the amount of variations, slide lengths and size frame not sure where to start.

Observation: I own Striker fired Sigs and don't have the problem many people have. Sig has placed their slide stop/release right where many people want to ride on the slide causing the slide not to lock back! Major complaint with the P 365 and P 320 series. I like it because I can actually reach it with my small hands. Trigger module makes changing configurations a bonus.

I think the "problem" some people have with riding the slide is their technique, not the gun. I've never had this issue with any Sig I've shot, and I've shot quite a few. Although I realize that violates the rule of "always blame the equipment first." :-)

@@bsmithhammer I'm with you! When the P 365 came out everybody was riding the slide lock, I never had an issue. Each pistol is different and I adjust grip. This memory grip thing doesn't apply to me I've shot to many different pistols gripping each one differently. People got mad when I told them their grip was wrong on the P 365. Heck there's even a thumb groove in the frame to keep it away from the slide lock. :)

Please consider updating this by reviewing the new P320-M18 and comparing it to the X Compact

P320 Compact is one of the best looking guns. Can't wait to rent it. I have VP9SK and love it.

Sorry I know this is an old video, but the Compact seems like more of a "carry" gun than the Carry does. I think I'd drop the 2rnds for the hide-ability of the Compact. Great video KS!! Oh and by the way, I have pretty noticeable tremors myself, so I've had to adapt my point of aim on certain targets, and almost let the front sight dip back between the rear posts, making follow up shots a little slower than I'd like. You're still a pretty awesome shot despite shaky hands! I just need more consistent range time to get my odd shooting method down pat.

I believe the carry is more inclined towards a duty pistol. The Marines have the M18 and they aren't running it around with it pointed at their nuts all the time concealed they got a holster BB and some kind of open carry holster.

Its ok to over crush it sometimes...

Thanks for doing this video! I have been trying to decide on one of these guns. I had the subcompact with the xgrip and 15 round mag, but didn't like the grip angle. I ended up selling it. The grip angle on the xcompact seems so much different. My only wish would be they would allow for a holosun 507 red dot.

I'm a long time Sig and CZ fan. I didn't think Sig could improve on the P320 X-Carry, but I was wrong. In my opinion, the P320 X-Compact is the ideal size carry platform. Sig improved the ergonomics and still maintained a 15 +1 capacity. The recoil impulse is significantly better than the P365. I haven't met a Sig I didn't like (let's just pretend the P290 never happened) but the P320 X-Compact is an absolute home run. KS, thanks for the great content!

I had the P320 Compact and love it. However, I liked the tritium sights on P320 X Compact, and I bought it too. I was looking for an excuse to buy another, and Sig gave it o me. The X version has 17 rounds, which is also a plus, instead of 15. The grip is a bit different from the Compact, but I'll know more when I go to the range.

Own a P365 and P226. Picked up and handled the X Carry and liked it so much I bought it on the spot. Did'nt give myself a chance to look at the Compact. I feel comfortable in my decision. I figure I can always invest in a compact module. Nice comparison!
