I had a chance to hold this pistol at my LGS today and liked the way it feels.

Any first-hand reviews of reliability and shooting experience appreciated.

Normal carry is a G19.

Specifically, this is the pistol with the compensated slide.

Thanks.

Not the Macro exactly, but I just picked up the 365 Fuse. I believe it’s the same platform with just a couple differences and maybe different slide length. I watched several review videos, some had significant feeding issues during break in and some had none. I have put 200 rounds through mine without cleaning it first. It cycled perfectly except for one failure to feed at round 120. It was fine after that. It’s a little snappy with the light weight and small grip, but I probably just need to shoot it more. It was still very accurate and consistent although I definitely felt like the grip is a bit too small for my medium size hands. I hope this helps.

I just picked one up. I prefer heavier guns but i want this to replace my CZ PCR so I can run a red dot. It shoots good, trigger sucks, it's comfortable with the bigger grip strap. I only put 100 rounds through it so I need to put more reps on it to get a good opinion. This is a 10 round group at 7 yards

It’s not the macro per se but I shot a friends 365 AXG Legion the other day it was a very nice shooter. The grip felt good and the trigger wasn’t bad. We were hitting a 66% ipsc at 45 yard like it was nothing.

I've got one and I really like it, and I've added the Icarus Precision grip to it. I like the little thumbrests for it. No complaints since swapping the grip module.

Initially I found it tough to shoot. I have the non-comp version and tested both side by side. I didn't find much of a benefit with the compensated version and it was quite a bit louder. I found it small, hard to grip and very snappy. As I continued to work on my grip with it, things got better but it aggravated a hand injury. I was at the point where I could shoot it as well as a full-sized but never found it pleasurable.

I added a Hogue over grip, DPS spring system and a pro-ledge (think gas pedal but better). With the pro ledge and correct grip, it shot extremely well and it was far more controllable. It still had what to me felt like a lot of snap and felt recoil. I loved the size and 17 rounds in that tiny package but it still aggravated the hell out of my left hand.

I picked up an LTT PX4 as a replacement and it's far better in the felt recoil and staying on target department. It's a bit bigger but overall I'm simply more accurate with it in single action mode and the wider grip isn't causing issues like the 365 did. Once I have more time with it and am more comfortable with the DA trigger, it'll replace the 365 as my carry gun.

If I didn't have the hand issues, I wouldn't have looked elsewhere and would have accepted the 365 for what it was.

Have a x macro comp. IMO it’s the best all around gun you can buy. I’d been a G19 guy for years. This makes the G19 look huge. I shoot exclusively 147gr JHP’s and I can tell a slight difference in recoil vs non comp model. Not huge but slight. Add a dot and a light. The true complete package IMO.

Love my X-Macro. I can carry full size handgun capacity equivalent in a very compact package. TTI mag extensions make for a 20rd spare mag, so I can carry 38 rounds of 9mm in a sidecar style holster. With the new Fuse mags, that probably isn’t even necessary anymore and you can just buy the factory extended Sig mags? I sent my X-Macro to CHPWS for direct milled RMRcc mounting, and it’s a great setup.

For me, the ability to toss it into a 365XL size grip frame is also beneficial for the hottest summer weeks or anytime I’m wearing athletic shorts or tighter fitting shirts. I grip chopped a second Macro grip module to 365XL size so I don’t have to change holsters, and I can also keep using my TLR-7A.

This thing was a serious upgrade in my CCW capability. Zero reliability issues, and highly recommended.

Not to rain on the 365 parade but just a heads up, been seeing things coming out lately with the 365 exploding

Are you talking about the screenshot that Ben Stoeger posted? If so, it was a single incident by some guy who, by his own admission, was shooting a box of random mixed ammo with mixed headstamps. Obvious double charge from Bubba's pissing hot reloads emporium. There is no issue with the p365. Stop fear mongering.

Appreciate all the reviews so far.

I was (still am, kinda) concerned the comp is more marketing than functional. Looks more like a lightened slide to me, with the lightening holes cut on top.

It’s not an anti-recoil glitch in the matrix but it absolutely knocks down recoil some (any amount is a lot with these small guns)

There is a video and another seperate incident I’ve seen surface on line now. I personally know 2 people who have the 365 and had to send it back to sig out of the box. It’s not fear mongering. It’s providing information. Do with it what you will

I own an x macro. I just don’t have my head in the sand about sig and their well noted issues

The p365 X-Macro Comp, and its X-Macro brothers, are all around great guns. I have an X-Macro, and a p365 SAS that was left to me- they're reliable, durable, accurate, concealable, and modular, with good aftermarket support.

Fair concern. I was too. Like I said above, there is a slight difference with 147gr ammo. Enough for me to think it’s worth it.

I've heard of plenty of issues with the 320, but hadn't heard anything about the 365 until Stoeger posted. I don't think it should be considered an issue on the same scale.

I agree that I haven’t seen any kabooms till stoeger posted. But issues with 365 trigger springs, strikers, and striker drag are known, and breaking at low round counts. Pretty sure they had to roll out a new striker to combat the issues being had.

Sig is known for letting its customers be the testers of its new products- pistol and rifles. With a ton of great striker options out, sig is on the sidelines till they get there junk together IMO.

Sig resolved the very small percentage of improperly cut trigger springs, striker drag marks on primers, and a very small percentage of broken striker tips, within the first 14 months of the pistol hitting the market. Those are the actual facts.

So they had a known issue that they had to resolve over 14 months. We agree on that.

Now after the gun has been in hands for a while, seeing use, we see a kaboom in the 365. Even if you ignore all the 320 issues - I still think that is enough to warrant consider looking other places than sig.

If one Kaboom using questionable ammo is a deal breaker- there isn't a pistol on the market you'd be able to trust.

The truth is you feel like Sig scratched your snatch, and you're bitter.

Feel. Better.

I said that combining the knowledge of known issues and seeing a kaboom warrants looking elsewhere.

“Sig 365 is great, stop fear mongering”

- it has known issues and sig has been using their customers as the test bed

“Yea but they fixed the issues over a 14 month period”

- and now that it’s been out for a while seeing use, we see a kaboom. Even if I ignore sigs other issues, it’s enough that I think you should look at other good options

-“ if one gun exploding is a dealbreaker, you can’t trust any on the market. Sig must of hurt you. Feel better”.

The internet is awesome.

You need to put down the crack pipe because you quoted my post, but then included a reply to something said by another and not me. You also twice misquoted me in your reply, despite my actual quote being just an inch or two above, and your misquotes intentionally alter the context of my actual words.

It's obvious you just want to bash Sig because all the major gun makers are just following Glock's business model of using secret rolling updates to address issues as they arise- but you're not bitching about your Glocks or their business strategy.

Clearly you're intellectually dishonest in discourse so I'm done replying to your drivel- I'm putting you on blast so I don't have to see your garbage posts.

Crack pipe? Who said anything about Glock? Putting me on blast? And I’m the one who is hurt? 😂

Could you put an X-Macro barrel (3.7") in the X-Macro Comp (which uses a 3.1" barrel)? Both have the same length slide.

Just thinking it might be less expensive going this route if I end up buying an X-Macro. Get the Comp slide and if I don't like it put the longer barrel in it.

I guess otherwise I could just get the PSA Dagger Micro C-1 and save several hundred bucks. Seems like a few here think Sig is just overpriced PSA.

I have a lot of guns. Xmacro and p365XLs are all my family carry primarily for concealed. One of my brothers used his in self-defense and put bad guy down. Distance was 10yrds with Holosun RDS.

XL and Macro are really accurate, 25yrds unsupported standing. We run our guns hard and don’t baby them, no issues.
