That's a legit opinion. For me, the "12 round mag fits organically" grip length was Goldilocks. Others differ. That's what makes this all so great.and the ‘X’ version makes no sense to me.
DittoAs soon as I picked up he P365X I knew that this was the right size grip for me!
I have the DeSantis synthetic with optics cut--it's ok, I prefer my Crossbreed Supertuck. In a week or so, I'll have my custom rig from a local tack and holster maker.Now to find a decent IWB holster

I carry a SIG 365 off duty. It is easy to conceal and a well made, reliable gun with night sights included. The overall size, length plus height is very similar to my old GLOCK 42 .380ACP, which was my old carry gun for off duty.
Two noticeable downsides are:
1. The SIG is heavier. You really feel the difference when pocket carrying. The GLOCK, when fully loaded, just seemed to disappear. With the SIG, I always can feel it. If I holster carried, I doubt this would be an issue.
2. A bigger issue is the recoil. I can shoot the gun, but recoil means my recovery time between shots is longer. I use 115 grain ball for practice, but the same weight ammo kicks more in self defense loads as I assume, it is loaded hotter and has a higher velocity.
My present carry load is the HORNADY 9m.m. 100 grain FTX jhp. The lighter bullet kicks less. If recoil were not an issue, I would carry FEDERAL HST which I keep in my other 9m.m. and .40 S&W pistols.
I noticed that SIG has brought out a .380ACP version of the SIG 365, so I assume that I am not alone in preferring less recoil. What I would really like to see is a 9m.m.x18 Police/Ultra chambering. It would have more power, but still be under 9m.m. levels. It was originally a compromise cartridge and I still think it is.
I though the .30 Super Carry might be the answer, but the velocity is still to high to get down to the recoil levels that I am looking for.

Any Wilson Combat module fans here? I have thinking about trying it on my XL.
I put that grip on my wife's 365. Seems to like it, and it seems to have improved her accuracy. I might have to get one for my 365XL.Any Wilson Combat module fans here? I have thinking about trying it on my XL.
Agreed. I have the Shield Plus and the Hellcat. I've handled the P365. Unless you are carrying in the pocket, the Shield Plus is a nicer shooter and I'd recommend it over the P365 XL too.I am a big fan of the p365 and the XL. But today I shot a shield plus and I could not in good faith recommend the XL over it. The trigger was fantastic, I really liked the 3 dots and it shot like my m9a1. It shot so well it made me angry about how much practice went into my other handguns. The polymer grip texture makes it feel like you are gripping rubber and it recoils smoother than any other 9mm I have shot remotely in that size range.

Yes! I find the basic 365 too thin for me to really grip well and handle recoil shooting rapid fire strings, wide palms and short fingers I guess. The Wilson frame adds just enough extra width in the right place for me to really lock it in. I shoot my 365xl quite close to my favored Glock 19 with the Wilson frame.
Another plus I like, but others may not, is the front and rear strap texture is really aggressive on the Wilson, which I really like but others might want to sand down a bit. Locks the gun in place but the slightly smoother “starburst” sides don’t hang up on my shirt like some of the grip tapes do.
I just don't think I should have to pay a premium (more than many machined metal framed pistols and even many complete rifles) for a tiny polymer micro 9mm, and then spend much more to " fix it." That's part of the reason why I am not into Glocks. In a crowded market and for the prices they are asking, I feel like a gun should fit my hand and should shoot well for me out of the box without me having having to change a bunch of things and spend more money.
That is just my personal opinion. I know that not everyone shares my opinion. As long as you both are happy in the end, I support you and it was worth it. It's just not the route I'd take.
As much as I love mine, I’ve noticed several of the same things. I’m better than 1000 rounds through mine, and find it very accurate for its size. I do think that some of the weight is to be expected when carrying more cartridges of a heavier weight. I still find it manageable. The recoil I find much more manageable than the LC9 I shot! Wow! I’d be interested to see it in 30 super carry as well, though I’m still not on that bandwagon.I carry a SIG 365 off duty.

At least the one you fired worked.JmacD
I shot the LC9 once and will never shoot it again. For me, it was that bad. However, my brother swears by it. So to each his own.
