Any Experience with This Sig?

Tons.

I have about every model and caliber they have released in the last 20 years.

Yeah, it’s definitely much more comfy compared to 43. I’ve switched to mine from G43x, 0 regrets.

Update on the sig P365XL:

I love it, but when competing against my friends at the range, they put me to shame. And then one of them will let me borrow their full size gun and I’ll shoot down the bowling pins (or whatever the target is) on the first try. One bullet, one pin.

So this little sig it’s great for conceal carrying because it’s compact enough to hide. But in social competitive situations it makes me have to work so much harder than everyone else!

This also got me thinking about defensive situations. I don’t want to be inaccurate when someone is breaking into the house. It would suck to mess up my plants or scare the dogs with multiple shots that don’t connect to the ā€œtargetā€.

So I’m pretty sure I’m going to need a full size gun for this purpose, @Chris_Shugart. Anyone else agree or have recommendations?

Generally a full size gun is going to have a longer sight radius (only applicable to irons), have a more full grip, and have more weight.

Are you using an optic on your 365? If so, the sight radius thing isn’t much of a factor.

The increased weight of a full size gun helps a bit with follow up shots, and the extra inch or so of barrel should technically increase accuracy potential, but most of these short barrels are mechanically more accurate than the person operating it anyway.

That leaves the full size grip, which IMO makes a huge difference. Unless you have the world’s smallest hands, youre probably able to get a better grip on the gun, and you probably have better trigger control as a result.

I know for me I can shoot my full size and compact guns much better than my Hellcat and it’s 100% due to the tiny grip altering how I interact with the trigger.

Yeah this will almost always be the case. My full-size of choice is the Beretta M9. This might be a basic b$%^ch weapon to some of the aficionados on the board, but nothing I’ve ever felt feels as smooth and as comfortable. And I shoot it much better than my P365XL; they’re just made for different things. The M9 is too big to carry around inside your belt. But I’ll shoot against anybody in competition with it.

Im a big fan of the CZ P10F. Sights are solid, and fits my hand nicely. They’ve also got the P10C if the full frame is a little too large.

I like a lot of different guns, but I prefer pistols without manual safetys and decockers and all that stuff.

Something like a spectre 320 if you want to stay with sig or a P226 Legion.

One of my favorite guns lately is the CZ Shadow 2.

Depends if you want an all metal gun or polymer. I find the heft of an all metal gun helps accuracy. I also shoot far better with a flat trigger.

Those gold details!!! :star_struck:

After a weekend of shopping around, I came home with a Sig 320 x5 Legion. But not sure if I’m totally sold on it. One of the salesmen was so stoked about it that I might’ve been influenced by his enthusiasm. I plan to hit the range sometime today to play with it.

It’s pretty! But its magazines only hold 10 rounds, and if you want a higher capacity, then the magazines will poke out of the bottom which kinda looks silly (not that that matters).

I’m still trying to figure out what I like. But I need to be more aware of the material they’re made of. Guns are confusing and I feel like whenever I learn something new, ten other questions pop up.

I’ll definitely look into this if I end up returning my Sig Legion. Thank you!

This clarifies a lot thank you! I don’t have an optic on my 365 but have been thinking about adding one. You’re right about the grip and weight being a huge factor. I have kinda big hands (tall girl) so having something broader to hold onto just feels right.

If my budget would allow I’d have one in orange. So nice.

The gun is so smooth. Mine is blue and I’ve been warding myself away from buying the orange. My local gun shop has one in orange :joy:
