I went down and qualified on the Sig today. Standard Az POST handgun qualification. As you can see I pulled one shot low left which was on the 2nd 25 yard line shooting string. I think I was just shooting too fast at the 25 yard line to guarantee good hits. Sometimes I feel like I can shoot this gun like a full sized pistol, but I just cant.

Like Alfsuave said, get the XL and buy the shorter grip. The grips are 40 bucks from Sig.

I bought the P365x. It’s smaller than the XL, same fantastic grip, flat trigger, metal night sights, optics ready, flat base mags with no crappy loose feeling mag extension, and like someone already stated shoots like a bigger gun. I liked all the 365’s but for me the P365x is perfect. I like it way better than the hellcat for accuracy and felt recoil. I really love this pistol/. The ejector also sticks out a little so you can tell you have a round in the chamber, instantly, in the dark. Can’t say enough about this thing
I bought a SIG 365 about 6 weeks ago as a possible replacement for my GLOCK 42, for off duty carry. I tried the single stack 9's, such as the GLOCK, KAHR, S&W and SPRINGFIELD ARMORY. All were unsatisfactory as they recoiled harder than I wanted. I did not want to shoot any of them after firing a 50 round box of ammo through them.
I also shot a RUGER LC-9 and thought it was HORRIBLE! The recoil was really unpleasant for me and I stopped after 15 rounds.
I went with the SIG based on several good reports from coworkers and found that it is what I am looking for. One got permission to carry it on duty as she works plain clothes and the issue SIG 320 is just too big for her to hide.
My requirements are for a pistol that could fit in my pocket as well as my GLOCK 42, which is a single stack .380ACP. The SIG 365 is heavier and has a longer grip, but not that much. I wanted a more powerful round if possible, but not the single stack recoil. So far, so good. I have put 205 rounds of 9m.m. through it without a problems. I only ran a bore snake through it and put some oil on the rails, so it is reliable when it is not babied.
I found that the 115 grain fmj was not difficult to shoot, but I do have to work on controlling this pistol more than say my GLOCK 19 duty gun or my SIG 229 or STOEGER 8000, that I have carried off duty, sometimes.
I also shot 80 rounds of 124 grain SIG V-Crown jhp. I noticed the difference in recoil and recovery time between the 115 grain and 124 grain ammo. I am going to try some 115 grain hollow points to see if they are a better choice for me.
My intention is to see if the SIG 365 can replace my GLOCK 42 in pocket carry, while still being easy enough to shoot, that I am not degrading my accuracy. I have not trouble shooting the GLOCK 42 on the full size pistol qualification drill my agency used with our H&K pistols, before we went to the GLOCK 19, so that is my goal.
