I have a 365 xl , I put 400 rds through it with no problems. I love this gun! I also own a regular p365 FDE and have about 600 rds through that with zero issues also!
Yo grey state, this is my first time watching one of your videos. Great job! I can tell you put in a lot of thought and work into your videos. High quality stuff! I want to see gun channels succeed, and I think if you consistently put out videos, your subscriber count will takeoff.
I agree. The shooting footage is not boring like other channels and it has a stated goal/reasoning (testing the different ammo). I usually just skip it on other videos. Great quality stuff 👍
Thank you for the honest review. I am orgunally from New Hampshire and the honesty on the locally made gun is refreshing. Based on your review and a few others, I will be purchasing this gun after I have tried it.
I replaced my Kahr PM9 with the Sig. 365 XL. First time out, 400 rounds, no issues at all, excellent feed, minimal recoil. Minimal skin chaffing concealed carry. Love it, great gun. Preferred 115 grain.
I got to shoot mine for the first time today after owning it for 2 weeks. I picked up the 15 round mag and it ran flawless. The trigger was better than my G48 and handled better to imo. Would recommend 👌.
Thanks for the informative tutorial, it was well done and you covered a lot of questions anyone interested in the P365XL, might have,I haven't shot mine yet and hope my results are as good as yours, I love my P365 micro, and have been carrying it daily, I have been getting into Sig guns for a while now, and really appreciate their design and engenering , I have more of their guns than I need, but enjoy them all, I think the XL is going to be a big seller, and like you , I wish the ambi safety would have been part of the up grade, being a left hander ambi is always appreciated, Thanks again for doing this, and I'll look forward to seeing more from you in the future...
Howdy Grey State.....AWESOME Video, very comprehensive and informative. I ordered a P365XL RomeoZero and just waiting to hear from my dealer....can't wait! I think the RomeoZero was a good choice for me. Just need to practice and practice to get used to the Red Dot. I have my CPL Training class also next week, I will open carry IWB after all is completed and legally ready to go. Thanks Grey State.....looking forward to more of your videos. Nick Kats
During your various ammo functionality presentation; I was wondering about primer strike and trigger pull. Thanks for addressing those two concerns. A lot of personal expense and effort went into your video. Well done.
Just some more on this Sig; its one of the most comfortable in your hand pistols that I have ever had and it shoots great! For the price its a steal of a deal and you get a nice Red Dot optic for free. This gun is now my CC and will be for some time. Its easy to conceal and holds a good deal of rounds with just the stock mags 12 rds and you can get 15 rd mags that will extend the grip for some who may need that to be comfortable with this masterpiece.
My 365 xl does the same thing slap the mag home, with the slide locked back she goes into battery. I carry and enjoy shooting this handgun. Shoots very nice like the balance and recoil feed back to me is light for such a light weight smaller profile gun. Works for carry and lots of fun at the range as well.
Excellent review. I've seen many and yours is honestly on point. It highlighted the things i was most interested in hearing about. Keep up thr good work!
I just got my 365 XL almost a week ago an I’m loving it so far. I’ve shot about almost 300 rounds through it between 3 different range visits and on my last one which was yesterday it started going into battery when I smacks the mag as well. This is my first pistol and I wasn’t sure if that was normal or not but other than that I’ve had no issues. Planning to put another 200 rds through it tomorrow. Can’t wait. This thing is fun to shoot
My first pistol s the 365XL I love it, it was tough at first but I a now good with it. I also have had the slide go home when tapping the bottom, not every time but more than 1-2 times. Thank you for the video i enjoyed it,
Yeah man I don't know why your channel isn't huge because you do great work. With that said I think it's only a matter of time before you really take off in terms of subscribers, you are certainly getting mine. And just as a side note that Winchester USA Forged ammo is absolute junk and I don't say that without experience. I shoot steel from time to time and for the most part I can run tulammo or wolf without issue but I can say that two 100 round boxes of that USA Forged ammo from Walmart had issues in all three of my 9mm guns (Glock 19, Glock 43, and S&W M&P compact) So I pretty much concluded that if those three guns collectively won't run the ammo then it's probably junk and I'm fairly certain that's an accurate assessment.
Excellent review and report. Love the variety of ammo testing and checking the trigger after a few hundred rounds. Very cool. For defense pistol, your accuracy testing was perfect. It was super consistent and that’s what I would want to know. Subscribed! Love your sensible approach and commentary. Well done. I will see if you did an A-B test comparing them XL to the original 365. That will be interesting
Thank you for the review, I am considering this model over the original P365. I understand the original design was designed for minimalist carry, with a maximum capacity for a micro handgun. However, after gripping the original P365 I had trouble with the grip size and gaining a good purchase on the handgun. The P365 XL resolves those issues for my needs. I was happy to see your enjoyment in just putting the weapon through all types of ammunition and just getting back to the enjoyment of shooting. Great Job Sir! Respectfully, David M Rucker
David Rucker , if you didn’t have the 12 round mag in p365, do so before deciding. Don’t think you will go wrong either way. Love my p365, February 2018 model..., but with the 12’round mag. Not as much with the 10’round magazine.
I have a Lyman Gauge and I just did 5 pulls and the average is 1.13 so the pull has definitely improved since 2018. I knew it wasn't anywhere near 5lbs and this pistol shoots great. Got it at Buds for 633 with Romeo Zero installed. I got lucky and saw it when it first came out 2-3 wks ago it is not available anymore. I have 2 sigs and both are outstanding for accuracy and build, I got what I paid for and then some.
Love my xl been carrying it all winter about 1200 reds through it no problem. Also have the standard p365. Lately I have been shooting and carrying with the standard frame and long slide and barrel. Easily concealed and shoots a little better than the little one.
Clear, concise, to the point. How do you not have more viewers/subscribers?!? Just found your channel and subscribed. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.
I like your production of this video. The use of ultra widescreen looks great on a 34 widescreen monitor. I keep gravitating to videos of the 365xl and that could be a problem for me. My current carry is the glock 48 and I have experienced that slapping into battery a few times as well. Are you planning on adding the Sig Romeo zero when it becomes available? The 365XL has the potential of being the new "one gun" do it all replacing the glock 19.
Dude I've got the same problem, I carry the 43x though. Slapping mag into battery doesnt send slide into battery for me though. I would love a 43x mos, but the p365xl looks pretty desirable
First time viewer on here to your Channel. I subscribed great video. I hope your video channel catches on great review! I am seriously looking at getting one of these XL's
Sitting through my 3 day waiting period to pick up my 365xl on Tuesday. (Why don’t weekends count!?!) but videos like yours are great to take the edge off of waiting.
Thank you that was a pretty decent review. I am quite happy thus far with my recent purchase of a P365 XL and agree with you that Sig Sauer has done a decent job of evolving the P365. I’ve only shot like 50 rounds straight outta the box like you as they had barely opened my local gun range up with social distancing lanes due to COVID19 a month ago when I went to pick it up as an FFL transfer. Nonetheless, it felt so good and reliable that I am already carrying it as my EDC but not with jacketed hollow points as of yet. Appreciate the heads up that the trigger might lighten up a bit after a few hundred rounds fired.
Real good video. Happy you didn't chicken out and showed the failure to feed, slide going into battery when inserting the mag, etc. I really hate to say it but, made in New Hampshire is not the same as made in Germany/Austria. It's just not. Had one of the newer p three-sixty-fives and it did great at first, really enjoyed shooting it. At about 65o rds. it began having various problems, failure to feed, slide not returning to battery, etc. Sold it. Bought a forty-three X Glock and twenty two hundred rds. later, not ANY kind of a problem. A quality control problem I would think, just like the p three-twenty and now the XL. Either way I don't care, not in a carry gun.
Enjoyed the video. I just bought a 365xl but haven't even shot it yet because of the distance to an open firing range. I will shoot it soon. I'm a lefty and agree with you about making it more lefty friendly. But, in this world it's important to be able to adapt. Plus, I'm 58, this is not my first rodeo in this right handed world. If you know what I mean? Anyway I liked and subscribed.
My 365xl also will go into battery when I slap home the magazine, only occasionally though. I have never had a problem with loading or ejecting, etc. It is my carry gun. I love it.
I saw some comments below about Winchester ammo and I have to say I steer clear of it because of lots of FTF issues with their rimfire ammo that speaks of their quality control I don't care that its rimfire ammo, all ammo should work well. I never have any issues with Fiocchi, CCI, or Sellier & Bellot ammo. All shoot when you pull the trigger as they are all supposed to do.
Like the video a lot, but at the beginning the jumping back and forth with the camera is much to often and not necessary in my opinion. Speak to the camera you don't need to have a ton of different angles unless you are really trying to show something like you did with the side by side and trigger testing. There was to many switches to you staring and talking forward but showing the side shot. Very nice how in depth and straight forward you were with the review. The split screen when you are shooting is really nice shot. You have some really nice B roll in the video. I Look forward to watching your channel for other videos as you have a good thing going so far.
12:08 That is normal. If you hit it hard enough, you can send the slide home and chamber a round. You can do this on a lot of pistols. These are the guns that I've used in the past and was able to send the slide home with a hard enough tap: HK VP9, HK P30(L), Glock 17, 19 (and I'm assuming all Glocks can do this), Sig P365XL, I bet a lot more guns can do this. Personally, I think this is a feature of these firearms bc it aids in reloading speed so you don't have to hit the slide release or slingshot the slide. To me, it's very well be an ambidextrous feature.
Good vids I keep enjoying stopping by to hang out lol. My thought on JustinOpinion on the 365 ammo was that he'd lubed it up with some thick ass grease. All the failures were right at first, then no issues after it worked in... not the ammo's fault.
Great video, well thought out, articulate, answered any questions I might have had. I have the Sig p365, born into date of November 2019, and I too have had a round loaded into the chamber twice by just pounding a magazine home with my palm. What’s up with that? I discovered the round in the chamber by chance, didn’t think there was a round in the chamber because I didn’t rack the slide. Glad I didn’t pull the trigger because I was home, Gun in my appendix holster. Thanks again. I’m subscribed! Want to see more.
Really well done review on this 365xl, you’ve done a very thorough job thank you, although it was nine minutes in before I found out it’s caliber 9MM, when I seen the writing on the box, if you’re watching a video about a gun you don’t know about that can be somewhat distracting,
I've been to the Range twice and shot 30 rounds each day. I had 6+ Failer to feed and Failer to go into battery. Same problem that Golden Web experienced. I'll field strip, lube and clean and try once more. I do shoot more accurately with this gun compared to other guns I have.
Very well made video. I wouldn't worry much about the slide going home when inserting the mag. From the looks of the primer strikes, it appears that the striker is bigger in diameter at the tip. The regular 365 that I shot the striker tip was tiny. Looked like an ice pick was hitting it and then drug off onto the brass. I'm not sure of the production date. This gun really has my attention. I saw Harry's video and his had some issues for sure. Part of that could be explained by the gun being so hot. I told him I thought his recoil spring was weak. He figured it out if memory serves me. I just can't remember what he determined. I'm not suffering from memory loss.... I'm actually enjoying it😂 Good job brother.
Thanks man, I appreciate it. I thought I was going to have battery issues at first. The slide action was a little sticky, even without a loaded mag. My temps were high 80’s towards the end of the shoot...luckily no issues - hope it stays that way!
love the pistol, however a recent bad experience really disappointed me. used as a edc and the rose/gold coated areas all show corrosion and sig sauer will not cover it under warranty! very disappointing
That winchester forged is the only thing I've ever had jam up my g19x, it's just so dirty and gets your hands gross loading up mags :p. I think I'm gonna pick up a 365xl this week, I've played with one at the gun store and just cant get it off my mind, if glock had a 43x mos out I'd probably buy that instead.. but glocks loss being late to the party :p
Why does no one clean or lube before testing new pistols? I feel like that’s not as accurate because 90% of us are gonna clean and lube before first firing and I’m pretty sure it’s recommended as well
Tim from the Military Arms Channel has a side by side photo of three different strikers from 3 P365's he's evaluated which show the changes SIG has made over time.
Put all 500 rounds through it of that Winchester forged steel case and let us know what you got. That stuff is terrible, it is unbelievably dirty. I put 500 through my P365 and had 15 FTEs. 15! Putting another 500 through on Friday of Federal black pack brass casings. If I have any issues I’m sending it back to Sig. EDIT: Like you I did not oil or clean it prior to shooting. I shot it right out of the box. Oiling it between mags did seem to help but only for a magazine worth of rounds.
Thanks for the video. The 365 feels good in the hand for being small it’s just pricey. How is the IWI Masada doing? I’m really interested in that pistol. Thanks again.
Thanks! The Masada is doing well, I put another 200 rounds through it on Friday while I was filming another XL vid, and it ran perfect, no shift on the red dot etc...
I love my xl. I am not a fan boy or anything I just love the way it feels and shoots. Mine was also going into battery when I "smash" the magazine in. Not sure why it's doing that. Minor problem? Hopefully.
Wish I could just get lucky more than once. Last 10 guns I've bought, 9 had issues and had to be sent to manufacturers, 2 of them I cut in half bc I gave up and they pissed me off.
Great video. I subed. My M&P 40c slides home when putting in full mag also. I think it's a plus. Glock corp. must hate when another company makes a superior, money worth , product.
Yup if I insert the mag of my xl with authority or smack the rear left corner of the magazine after inserted I can get the slide to go home. I am not sure why you gave as many cares about that though, I always take it as a bonus when shooting competition. Under what scenario that you are slamming a loaded magazine into a gun are you going to leave the slide back?
Question... 12 round mag, seem to really have to work to get the 12th round in and there is no downward play / slack. With mine with 12 rounds had to really get ruff to lock mag when slide is in battery and when tried to rack slide slide would not move. 11 rounds...slide moves but still stiff.... works flawlessly with 10 rounds in 12 round mag.... My experience with browning HiPower 9mm... fully load mag (13 rnd) and got about 1/2 round of vertical play in mag. P365xl fully loaded mag 12 rounds in 12 round mag have to really work to get 12th round in and there is no vertical play of rounds in mag,. Got a walter pdp compact, 15 rnd mags, easy to load completely and has a bit of vertical play for the rounds in a fully loaded mag. So makes me wonder if sig 12 rnd mags need some tweeking; gun loves the ten rounds in 12 mag but if it has issues with holding and functioning with a 12 R mag this is not good, Sig says well donr insert full mag unless slide is back, also said to hit the slide forward hmmm..... If gun works flawlessly with 10 R in a 12 E mag and has issues eat out of a full 12 Rnd mag, makes me wonder !!!!???? .
I bought a P365XL in Casa Grande, AZ and got one (1) 12-round magazine. I bought a Sig 15-round magazine for almost $47. I had sort of an emergency in a restroom and the 15-round mag \fell out of the holder and exploded into parts and ammo. So I have one (1) 12-round mag and one POS that I dare not use if it is that flimsy. I understand I should be getting another 12-rounder from Sig
Did you ever find out why the pistol (365 standard & XL) goes into battery after inserting magazine w/o even hitting the slide release? Mine does that 8 out or 10 times when I tap that mag butt in!
Why use a 15 round mag if you can use the 12 round and modified it with a Mag Gut +2. Now you have a 14 round small magazine and not that huge 15 round extension that look awkward.
Well of Course you may have issues with the shipping grease on your pistol. You should never shoot your firearms without first cleaning all the shipping grease off and then properly lubricating your firearm. If you want to have it shoot well and last a long life, you treat it right. Also, never fire your guns and just let them sit with all the dirt from firing on them. Unless you like wasting your money that is. A gun is like your car if you take care of it, it will take care of you. Folks, if you don't have the time to properly care for your guns you may want to rethink owning them in the first place. Any gun will breakdown in performance if it isn't cared for right. They just need to be cleaned and oiled where the manual calls for it.
I had the issue with it not going into battery. It stopped doing it after a few sessions and cleaning off all of the factory lube. But, I still don't really trust it.
I have a 365 xl , I put 400 rds through it with no problems. I love this gun! I also own a regular p365 FDE and have about 600 rds through that with zero issues also!

You're experiencing the same thing I did with my 365 that's bout 2+yo, over 1K rds & NO PROBLEMS. My EDC ammo is Federal HST +P 124gr JHP
Nice, yeah I’ve had zero issues since the publishing of this vid
I am super impressed with your camera work, B-roll, editing, and music in several of your videos. of course, the content is superb!
Watching this one on the big screen, been waiting!!!! Going to share , thanks for the awesome content!!! 🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
That's awesome - thanks for the support! TGS

High quality video and very well spoken. I appreciate this and you earned a new sub
I got to shoot mine for the first time today after owning it for 2 weeks. I picked up the 15 round mag and it ran flawless. The trigger was better than my G48 and handled better to imo. Would recommend 👌.
I pick mine up in 7 days… also coming from the G48. Are you still liking the 365XL?

490 rounds through my P365 XL made on March 2, 2020. Loving it and about to carry it daily. Just installed a Tru Precision barrel. A great gun!!!
Excellent review. I've seen many and yours is honestly on point. It highlighted the things i was most interested in hearing about. Keep up thr good work!
I purchased the P365xl on Friday looking forward to range time this coming week
I just got my 365 XL almost a week ago an I’m loving it so far. I’ve shot about almost 300 rounds through it between 3 different range visits and on my last one which was yesterday it started going into battery when I smacks the mag as well.

@@greenbean3098 10 rd bc I’m in NY. I haven’t had any other failures since this tho. Probably was me or the ammo I was using

Love the channel, you give great reviews on guns.
Thanks! 👊🏽
On a lot of modern firearms if you tap the magazine at a right angle it will send the slide home. My M&P would do the same thing, It’s by design.
Thank you for the review, I am considering this model over the original P365. I understand the original design was designed for minimalist carry, with a maximum capacity for a micro handgun.

Haha. Weekends don’t count because the wait period is based on what the federal government considers a “business week” which is Monday-Friday 9am-5pm
A lot of m&ps do that inertial slide drop when you slap the mag in.
My old Model 411 does it every single time.
Thank you that was a pretty decent review. I am quite happy thus far with my recent purchase of a P365 XL and agree with you that Sig Sauer has done a decent job of evolving the P365.

Like the video a lot, but at the beginning the jumping back and forth with the camera is much to often and not necessary in my opinion. Speak to the camera you don't need to have a ton of different angles unless you are really trying to show something like you did with the side by side and trigger testing. There was to many switches to you staring and talking forward but showing the side shot. Very nice how in depth and straight forward you were with the review. The split screen when you are shooting is really nice shot. You have some really nice B roll in the video. I Look forward to watching your channel for other videos as you have a good thing going so far.
12:08 That is normal. If you hit it hard enough, you can send the slide home and chamber a round. You can do this on a lot of pistols. These are the guns that I've used in the past and was able to send the slide home with a hard enough tap: HK VP9, HK P30(L), Glock 17, 19 (and I'm assuming all Glocks can do this), Sig P365XL, I bet a lot more guns can do this. Personally, I think this is a feature of these firearms bc it aids in reloading speed so you don't have to hit the slide release or slingshot the slide. To me, it's very well be an ambidextrous feature.
amd we had no idea how good we had it. i'm glad i got mine.
Why does he only have 7k subscribers?!? Great channel in my opinion.
Awesome review. I just purchased one of these. Waiting on my permit so I can pick it up.
Great review. No problems through mine yet.
Problem? Men you have the best micropistol in the market!
Good vids I keep enjoying stopping by to hang out lol. My thought on JustinOpinion on the 365 ammo was that he'd lubed it up with some thick ass grease. All the failures were right at first, then no issues after it worked in... not the ammo's fault.
Great video, well thought out, articulate, answered any questions I might have had. I have the Sig p365, born into date of November 2019, and I too have had a round loaded into the chamber twice by just pounding a magazine home with my palm. What’s up with that? I discovered the round in the chamber by chance, didn’t think there was a round in the chamber because I didn’t rack the slide. Glad I didn’t pull the trigger because I was home, Gun in my appendix holster. Thanks again. I’m subscribed! Want to see more.
I think almost all guns I've ever owned will close the slide IF you slam the mag in hard enough. It's always done that on my Glocks.
Many, many semi autos do this. Not an issue, in my opinion.
Also some of my Glocks slide will go forward when you smack the mag in like that. Never a problem but still not sure if it’s supposed to do it
my 23 does this also
thank for the in-depth and quality review.
Really well done review on this 365xl, you’ve done a very thorough job thank you, although it was nine minutes in before I found out it’s caliber 9MM, when I seen the writing on the box, if you’re watching a video about a gun you don’t know about that can be somewhat distracting,
Beaver tail does absolutely nothing for recoil, it helps those of us who ride the slide high af from getting bit by the corner of the slide.
I had the same issue with the slide riding home with a full mag insert. I found out it was a mag issue. My new mags don't do it.
I've been to the Range twice and shot 30 rounds each day. I had 6+ Failer to feed and Failer to go into battery. Same problem that Golden Web experienced. I'll field strip, lube and clean and try once more. I do shoot more accurately with this gun compared to other guns I have.
This gun is amazing! I just got my X today
Very well made video. I wouldn't worry much about the slide going home when inserting the mag. From the looks of the primer strikes, it appears that the striker is bigger in diameter at the tip. The regular 365 that I shot the striker tip was tiny. Looked like an ice pick was hitting it and then drug off onto the brass. I'm not sure of the production date. This gun really has my attention. I saw Harry's video and his had some issues for sure. Part of that could be explained by the gun being so hot. I told him I thought his recoil spring was weak. He figured it out if memory serves me. I just can't remember what he determined. I'm not suffering from memory loss....
I'm actually enjoying it😂
Good job brother.
Thanks man, I appreciate it. I thought I was going to have battery issues at first. The slide action was a little sticky, even without a loaded mag. My temps were high 80’s towards the end of the shoot...luckily no issues - hope it stays that way!
@@TheGreyState keep us posted
Welll done review. Keep them coming.
Holy locked elbows Batman!
I have a 2020 made XL and when you slap the mag the slide will go home.
Not sure I like that but it is something to be aware of.
love the pistol, however a recent bad experience really disappointed me. used as a edc and the rose/gold coated areas all show corrosion and sig sauer will not cover it under warranty! very disappointing
Great review!
Had no issues so far & the first time shooting... 2+2=5
That winchester forged is the only thing I've ever had jam up my g19x, it's just so dirty and gets your hands gross loading up mags :p. I think I'm gonna pick up a 365xl this week, I've played with one at the gun store and just cant get it off my mind, if glock had a 43x mos out I'd probably buy that instead.. but glocks loss being late to the party :p
Why does no one clean or lube before testing new pistols? I feel like that’s not as accurate because 90% of us are gonna clean and lube before first firing and I’m pretty sure it’s recommended as well
JeffTheChef agreed.
Excellent video. Just subscribed
Dave C
Nice job rechecking trigger pull after shooting it, that tells something about the gun i hadn't heard before..
Thanks Dave, It's something that is directly measurable that I rarely see done in the same video.
Tim from the Military Arms Channel has a side by side photo of three different strikers from 3 P365's he's evaluated which show the changes SIG has made over time.
Yep, he was the vid I was referring to in my overview
Put all 500 rounds through it of that Winchester forged steel case and let us know what you got. That stuff is terrible, it is unbelievably dirty. I put 500 through my P365 and had 15 FTEs. 15! Putting another 500 through on Friday of Federal black pack brass casings. If I have any issues I’m sending it back to Sig. EDIT: Like you I did not oil or clean it prior to shooting. I shot it right out of the box. Oiling it between mags did seem to help but only for a magazine worth of rounds.
Yep,..works
Thanks for the video. The 365 feels good in the hand for being small it’s just pricey. How is the IWI Masada doing? I’m really interested in that pistol. Thanks again.
Thanks! The Masada is doing well, I put another 200 rounds through it on Friday while I was filming another XL vid, and it ran perfect, no shift on the red dot etc...
15:00 min mark, what I carry. HST 124 +p and standard pressure
S&W had the same issue with their M&P’s. The slide shouldn’t move forward when a mag is inserted. That’s not normal.
It’s very normal.
Not really. That’s why the 2.0 models have an extra piece added to the slide stop. The 2.0 doesn’t do that anymore.
Great VIDEO!!!
I love my xl. I am not a fan boy or anything I just love the way it feels and shoots. Mine was also going into battery when I "smash" the magazine in. Not sure why it's doing that. Minor problem? Hopefully.
Nah it’s a “thing” that happens with all striker fired
Great content, subbed :)
Wish I could just get lucky more than once. Last 10 guns I've bought, 9 had issues and had to be sent to manufacturers, 2 of them I cut in half bc I gave up and they pissed me off.
Read somewhere that all striker fired go into battery if you hit the bottom hard enough
Did I miss the actual unboxing?!
Great video
Just bought one today!
Good video review 👍
Thanks Anthony!
Well done.
Thanks! TGS
Great job!
Great video. I subed. My M&P 40c slides home when putting in full mag also. I think it's a plus. Glock corp. must hate when another company makes a superior, money worth , product.
Great vid. Thanks sir.
Yup if I insert the mag of my xl with authority or smack the rear left corner of the magazine after inserted I can get the slide to go home. I am not sure why you gave as many cares about that though, I always take it as a bonus when shooting competition. Under what scenario that you are slamming a loaded magazine into a gun are you going to leave the slide back?
Question... 12 round mag, seem to really have to work to get the 12th round in and there is no downward play / slack. With mine with 12 rounds had to really get ruff to lock mag when slide is in battery and when tried to rack slide slide would not move. 11 rounds...slide moves but still stiff.... works flawlessly with 10 rounds in 12 round mag.... My experience with browning HiPower 9mm... fully load mag (13 rnd) and got about 1/2 round of vertical play in mag. P365xl fully loaded mag 12 rounds in 12 round mag have to really work to get 12th round in and there is no vertical play of rounds in mag,. Got a walter pdp compact, 15 rnd mags, easy to load completely and has a bit of vertical play for the rounds in a fully loaded mag. So makes me wonder if sig 12 rnd mags need some tweeking; gun loves the ten rounds in 12 mag but if it has issues with holding and functioning with a 12 R mag this is not good, Sig says well donr insert full mag unless slide is back, also said to hit the slide forward hmmm..... If gun works flawlessly with 10 R in a 12 E mag and has issues eat out of a full 12 Rnd mag, makes me wonder !!!!????

I bought a P365XL in Casa Grande, AZ and got one (1) 12-round magazine. I bought a Sig 15-round magazine for almost $47. I had sort of an emergency in a restroom and the 15-round mag \fell out of the holder and exploded into parts and ammo. So I have one (1) 12-round mag and one POS that I dare not use if it is that flimsy. I understand I should be getting another 12-rounder from Sig
Look at your manual book, I heard there’s a slip in there, you have to fill it or do online for 1 free 12 rd mag.
Thanks. Nice gun.
Thanks for showing trigger before and after
Thanks for the comment - it's one of those things that's totally measurable, and is often subjectively talked about.
Did you ever find out why the pistol (365 standard & XL) goes into battery after inserting magazine w/o even hitting the slide release?
Mine does that 8 out or 10 times when I tap that mag butt in!
Why use a 15 round mag if you can use the 12 round and modified it with a Mag Gut +2. Now you have a 14 round small magazine and not that huge 15 round extension that look awkward.
Well of Course you may have issues with the shipping grease on your pistol. You should never shoot your firearms without first cleaning all the shipping grease off and then properly lubricating your firearm. If you want to have it shoot well and last a long life, you treat it right. Also, never fire your guns and just let them sit with all the dirt from firing on them. Unless you like wasting your money that is. A gun is like your car if you take care of it, it will take care of you. Folks, if you don't have the time to properly care for your guns you may want to rethink owning them in the first place. Any gun will breakdown in performance if it isn't cared for right. They just need to be cleaned and oiled where the manual calls for it.
I had the issue with it not going into battery. It stopped doing it after a few sessions and cleaning off all of the factory lube. But, I still don't really trust it.
Great content
A single top down comparison shot would be appreciated...
thinking about picking up a virtus patrol. Do you still have yours and are you still digging it like before?
Yep to both, really like the ergo and how clean it runs compared to DI.
