Sig P365XL vs P320 X Compact: Skinny or Stout?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ก.ค. 2019
- The P320 X Carry is one of my favorite guns but the grip is just a tad to long for carry most of the year so when the P320 X Compact was released I was really excited. With Sig's introduction of the P365 and it's thin profile a lot of people are considering the P320 series outdated. Even though it's larger the P320 X Compact does have some advantages of the P365 XL. Those guns are almost identically featured with factory night sights, identical grip texturing and the ability to mount a slide mounted optic.

I was looking for this comparison. Thank you. Also, you did some really interesting tests that aren't typically seen in gun reviews. Thanks for the vid!
Very thorough, informative video. Thanks for the analytics, both look to be great guns. I’m going to try and put some range time in on both before I decide. But I am leaning towards the 320 because of the comfort , and that I do already own a delta pro.
This is the most thorough gun review video I have came across.
I'm 6'1" with big hands. I have no issues shooting accurately with the 365xl. It's also way more comfortable for EDC. The 320X is a great gun to shoot and lots of fun, but just a bit to big for me to carry every day. Just one man's opinion.
How is this the only video I can find on this topic?
Even though the P365XL was introduced in 1911, people have been slow to buy it. Few have both, including gun ranges.
@Trace Tommy This is so obviously a bot and a bot.
I'm worried the website has viruses now.
I've got both, first two guns I bought.
I got both, xl I have for about 2 years now and just pick up 320 x compact yesterday! The p320 is my favorite gun of all time. I’m so excited I finally got 1. The shelves was dry beginning of virus!
After one day you already know that? Sounds like you need to wait till the honeymoon is over.
Nice comparison video, both look like good choices but for different reasons. Thanks for posting
Yup! One is pure concealment and the other is easier to shoot!
Both great options. Excellent thoughts & good comparison. Exactly what I have been considering. Thanks.
I've got the p365, p320 x compact and the p365xl. Over 2k rounds on the p 365, 500 rounds through the p365xl, and p320x compact. No malfunctions
Glad yours is working!
You must have got the p365 before the xcompact.
I need a holster for my x compact....any recommendations for ones that can be bought off the shelf ? I’ll look at these Harry holsters too, just never heard of em before
XL all day for me. This has quickly become my favorite EDC pistol, it has actually replaced my G19.
Sameee
@@isaiahrios5975 p365xl is miles ahead better than glock 19. And p365 is much better than glock 43
I agree. The Glock 19 has now become a full-size gun compared to these new micro firearms that have been coming out.
I'm actually looking at a G48 to replace a G19. Same dimensions as the XL other than a longer barrel and slide, so better ballistics. Slide length is no problem for apendix carry. Also holds 15 with he S15 mags vs 12 for the XL. As long s the S15 mags are reliable, it's a no brainer for me. I do like sig modularity though.
@Drew Foulds I did ultimately decide against using those mags or the G48. Yeah, serious issues there. The G48 is just not a serious contender with factory mags IMHO, so it's out of the running.
It’s simple...365 for summer carry and my P320 X-Compact for winter carry. I love both
Thanks for watching!
I wear cargo shorts 365 and appendix carry the XÇompact everyday. 😋
My clothes don't change with the weather so why would my gun?
@@biocybernaught3512 so you wear shorts all year long or winter coats in the summer. Tshirts and flip flops when its snowing
@@RichCiminisCrustyTissue jeans and t-shirt 365. Cold weather just means I add a coat, hot weather just means I drink more water. No need to change the gun.
I had both of them in mind now I can make up my mind I really appreciate your time
same here man!
what did you go with
I have the xcompact and the p365. My favorite to shoot is the xcompact but the 365 is so easy to conceal. Both have a place in my carry rotation.
Thanks for watching!

So I have the P320 Legion with a competition trigger job from the SigArmorer and it's taken the P320 to an amazing level. With that said, I can convert my P320 over to an X-Compact and obviously keep the amazing trigger job without having to buy another pistol and have to pay for another trigger job. The advantages of going with the P320 X-Compact is you can run the Romeo1 Pro optic instead of the Romeo Zero, and I think we can all agree the Romeo1 Pro is a VASTLY better optic. You also get non proprietary rail mount and can attach whatever lights/lasers you want without an adapter.
Disadvantage with the x-compact is the slightly larger width, which could be an advantage depending on your hand size.
I might try the compact frame on my X Carry. Then again I don’t really have an issue concealing the X Carry with the 2 extra rounds. Really good comparison.
If I were to carry one that's exactly what I would do!
Great vid.
Love the Limp Wrist testing.
Too many "reviewers" just want to show how fast they can run around a course against a timer.
A great comparaison well explained X compact
my choice
I’ve been saying this for the longest! I have both. Shot both and honestly, I’d carry the p320 xc solely for the comfort and familiarity of the wider grip. Great video. Just sub’d.
:::: Depends on your hand, a small hand person, P365 XL is the best choice. A Large and fat hand person, P320 X-compact is better choice. Any adult person height around 5'1" ~ 5'7" ， P365 XL can be the best option. That is mean P365 XL has much higher potential market, because huge part of female in USA, do not have a gun now. And part of those adult female wish have a personnel defense weapon.
I own both guns and love both guns! With my P320 X, I will carry it a majority of the time. But if it’s summer time and I am needing to go somewhere then I will carry my P365 XL.
Excellent video!! Thanks for taking the time! Subscribed and liked!
Nice! Thanks for the input
Have them both and would never pick between them. Love both equally! Best 9mm guns you can buy!
My wife has the 365 XL while i have the 320 X-Compact, they both shoot real well.
Marksman 9672 me and my wife with the same , and both are amazing , no failures after 500 rounds
Marksman 9672...Same here! We love them both!
I need a holster for my x compact....any recommendations for ones that can be bought off the shelf ? I’ll look at these Harry holsters too, just never heard of em before
I edc the 365xl with a holosun 507kx2 red dot and I've never had a failure to fire,and I have consistent playing card size or less groupings at 25yds and probably a 50 cent piece at shorter range.i absolutely love this thing.and I can IWB carry in shorts and a t-shirt w almost no printing issues
I love my P320 XCompact, it's my EDC in your Harry's Executive holster with soft loops claw and wedge. I have the P365 and the xcompact is my favorite Sig, I don't leave home without it. I just like the width of the grip fits my hand just right. I carry appendix and tell everyone how great your holster is (BEST HOLSTER PERIOD) It sucks that grip close to your body, I'm 5'10ish and 270lbs can conceal the xcompact in any clothing and I don't have to worry about printing. Sig P320 XCOMPACT with Harrys EXECUTIVE holster is a winning combination.
Glad you like it!
Same set-up here. Completely agree.
Is the Executive comfortable at the 3 O' Clock IWB or is appendix better?

@@tusharin1984 Harrys Holster is the only way to go, you get what you pay for. His holsters are top rate. Don't waste your money on holsters bought off the rack. You'll thank me later.
I too own both. P365XL all day, everyday, concealibily is key. Weight is also an issue in my opinion. Everything thing else being equal between the two. I'm 5"6 and larger frames just seem to print more
I shot both today and find the xl to be slightly more accurate and easier to conceal. I am debating whether to even keep the Xcompact since I don’t see any advantage of it over the xl.
Apparently, I am a whole lot less concerned about printing than most people seem to be. The P-320C or the M&P 2.0C or the CZ P-01or the G-19 are small enough to carry concealed in almost any clothing. No one notices, we just become self-conscious about it.
I think I'm sold. I have been debating this for a year and a half.
Finally a video on this!
I think a lot of people have wanted to see this but since the guns are in such different classes a lot of content creators haven't thought about it or they just don't have access to both.
Harry's Holsters good point. I couldn’t decide which one to get over the other. So I got both!
Charles always the best answer when deciding which of two guns to buy! Get both! 🤣
The question you should ask is why did they use 2 different fcu's? They could have been able to use a single fcu for both. They are both the same stack style for magazine and same caliber. They use a similar slide locking system and rails but they wouldn't make money on both if they interchanged.
Another great video Thank you.
I love my X-Compact so you know what I'm partial to. Nice comparison.
Haha! I think I agree with you!

@@tusharin1984 Harry's Holsters makes outstanding holsters, I own quite a few. Off the shelf, it depends where you live. Mission First Tactical makes very good holsters as well and can be found in some firearms stores.
I just bought the 320 xcompact to go along with my 365 xl. I have only shot the 320 x compact once but I found it to be more accurate than my xl. Also, looking at you shoot the 365xl vs the 320 xc, I noticed you were constantly readjusting your left hand grip after many shots with the 365xl and that wasn’t occurring with the 320 xc.
It’s interesting you say that. I haven’t figured out what to do with my left hand yet on my XL. The bullets going where I want it to and I like it but different then full size
Hey dude love the videos. Mad respect. Do you make holsters?
Thanks! Yes we do.
Nice comparison. I lost faith on the the P320 as the ones I purchased always had a failure to fire at times. You make some fantastic holsters. I do carry the XL as it has been perfect for me. No failures so far after more than 2 years of carry time.
Almost all of the problems plaguing the p320 series was fixed with the M and X models.
I've got over 1000 rounds through my first P320 without a single failure of any kind. And she's only been cleaned once. I love that pistol.
hey young man, thank you so much for this video, you really helped me make my mind up. I have a 320X compact on the way and I am about to order the 365XL, in this POLICE STATE of NJ, we have to wait 30 days between each purchase of a firearm.
Thanks for watching! Sorry for all the BS you have to deal with just to buy a gun in NJ.
Even the police in a police state has to wait 30 days.... how sad
I need a holster for my x compact....any recommendations for ones that can be bought off the shelf ? I’ll look at these Harry holsters too, just never heard of em before
I REALLY like the p365 I have for carrying so concealed no one will see it, even if they're trying to see it. But it's very small (and harder to shoot quickly because of the kick) and only holds 10 in my current configuration for concealability. I tried my friend's new p320 X Compact, and it fit my hand like a glove.
Very Nice Comparison! Carry on
Thanks Big J!
I love how people think they need twice as many rounds as 1911 to defend themselves as a CCW. When you go with a larger heavier weapon you are more likely to get lazy about carrying it. You start to leave it at home or in the car as it becomes a burden given the weight and size. You have defeated the purpose of having bought a CCW. Yes it matters! Don’t buy the CCW that you want to shot at the range! Buy the one you know you will actually wear!
Well, sig just used their black magic powers to make a new 365 that I’m planning on scooping.
A run of the mill 1911 commander is as heavy or heavier than the p320. I don’t understand the analogy, but I understand the sentiment.
@@kds471
There are many versions of the 320 that are not all that heavy. Secondly the point is that you should consider the p365 as you will carry it unlike a 1911 or even a p320 and that sane people don’t need a 20 round weapon as a CC weapon. The point was to compare the 1911 round capacity with a 365 which you can carry without getting tired of it.
I carry a P320C in .40 with an Icarus Precision grip module, 2 extra extended mags, a fixed blade on my belt between 7-10 inches, my phone, wallet, folding knife, and headphones in my pocket. I dont all of that combined is much at all and I’m 5’6”, 130lbs. I like heavier. Just get a good belt and learn how to properly distribute the weight. Not throwing shade btw, just saying imo, a little weight isn’t bad. If anything I’d hate a lighter smaller gun cause I cant feel as much. With my 320, I know if it’s on me. Maybe it’s the fact that I’ve carried it every day for 4 years and it’s become less noticeable. But I added weight and like it more.
I had both of these and I still have the P365 XL. I sold the Xcompact but that left me with a gap in my rotation, in order to remedy that I hoy a CZ P10S OR for $300 less than what the Xcompact cost. Soooooo happy.
Except it’s not a Sig!
I am considering to sell my Xcompact too and keeping the XL. I have a HK p30 LEM arriving tomorrow.
@@casilatino I’ve since repurchased the Xcompact because I missed it so
Nice comprehensive demo
God job bro!!! I got both and I loved both ,
About to purchase a xcompact. But this was the first video that made the 365 XL look awesome to me
Buy the xl. I have both.
This helped me decide…..p320 x compact it is. Thanks. Great content. Thorough as my borough. PS…..I’m also going to grab the XL as well for tight concealment option. Bing bong
your slow motion footage looked like the compact was less recoil flip. at least from what i could see. great video thanks for taking the time to compare them.
It's a much easier gun to control and shoot. The P365 is shootable for it's size but nowhere near as gun to shoot as the X compact.
I wish I could find a compact conversion kit for my p320x full size!!! I've been looking for this very comparison!!! Thanks!!
Hey there good video and info I have had both great guns .sold the XL and kept the Xcompact just like it better
I have a regular Sigg 365 and the X compact if I had to give one up it be the 365 I love the X compact like them both really
The 365 can’t be compared to the Xcompact but the xl can be and I prefer the xl.
That camera angle aligning gun with ridgeline = Genius.
I have both.. I edc 365xl... love both
Both are great. The p320 x compact for me though
Where did you get those holsters? Need one in my life they look badass in white
Harry did you resolve the issue with the 365 XL? I remember you had a problem when you
First shot it.
The shots in this video were the first 64 rounds fired through the gun. Failures started occurring 27 rounds into the test. I think the gun I've got is cursed. lol
Thanks for this review. I am in the market for a new carry and was curious about the difference between these two. Especially how they shoot.
Well done!
I love my p320 xcompact. Best shooting 9mm I’ve ever handled. Most accurate also.
Just ordered the 365Xl. Like the g43. Going yo switch to the sig for awhile
I have both the 365XL and the P320 Compact. I also have a full size P320 M17.
The XL is my EDC. I do have magguts kits in the mags so basically 14 round capacity, and i LOVE how it shoots. My P320 Compact is usually either my winter carry or my carry gun when I'm away from home for extended periods of time like vacations. The M17 is my home defense as backup to my AR.
I love all 3 of my Sigs and honestly I'm super happy carrying either the XL or the 320, but the XL is just much more comfortable.
I have both compact in 45 tho. Love them both
The p365xl is more concealble, but the p320 x compact you can use for conceal carry and to have fun at the range as well, maybe IDSC.
Nice comparison
Thanks!
3:15 - 4:00
Very well said. A lot of guys claim they can shoot good with these micro 9’s, but the real question is, can they draw from a concealment and consistently hit their target. There’s a skill gap when you pick up a gun and build your grip versus when you draw from a concealment. I’ve owned the M&p shield plus for two years but want to get a glock 19 for my next gun because of the bigger girth and longer barrel.
The newest p320 RXP compact is so much better than that one. Mine came with Romeo 1pro but I have an RMR on mine now and it came with the co-witness sights that you don’t lose when you get a red dot.
I'm leaning towards the p320 x compact
I love my P365XL with a Romeo Zero red dot. It's an all around great pistol has the size accuracy and 15round cap mag but I've always wanted a P320 m18 idk why. When I pick one up I'm like yea this might be a little bothersome to edc giving my frame which is I'd say medium but it still intrigues me and I will always want one. Maybe sell an AR to buy it?
I have both and you made my holsters for both. Well, I bought the x-compact frame for my x-carry so it’s not exactly the x-compact but the minute length on the slide/barrel is no hindrance to me. I have the Zero on my 365XL and the Romeo on my “X-compact”. Both are Tac drivers. I personally prefer the 365XL from the holster as I shoot better with it for some reason.
The X Carry with a compact frame is my preferred setup.
I love the X-compact but I only have the regular P365. No issues so far with either one, but I definitely prefer the X-compact. It's just easier to shoot and I prefer a larger grip. That limp wrist testing looks painful, appreciate the effort Harry!
That larger grip makes a huge difference!
Check out the new P365X. It has the same grip module and trigger of the P365XL but the slide/barrel length of the standard P365. It makes shooting much more enjoyable, recoil/snappiness easier to manage, and it's super concealable like the standard P365.
Have the normal P320 Compact (with SC conversion kit as well), a P320 RX Compact, and the P365. For me the big differentiator is at the subcompact level. The Compact is indeed a nicer pistol to shoot.
Pre-diet P365, post-diet P320.
good job
Noticeably Less GripReAdjust with 320 X Compact (for Author)
Familiarity or Grip Thickness?
Or BOTH?
It's not so much the thickness as the distance from the front strap to the back strap. That helps a lot with having enough space. on the P365XL my support hand barely has room to even contact the gun due to that.
I can’t comment on the p365xl as I have not ever held or shot one. I do have a 365sas bought the 365x slide with night sights and Romeo zero from Sig. It is nice but just so small. I got the p320 x compact RXP and that is my every day carry no matter how hot or cold great size and weight. I gave my p365 to my wife. I am sure the p365xl is amazing as the two dogs I have are great.
I own a p365, a p365xl with a Romeo zero and a p320 xcompact. P365 was a 10 round mag with mag guts to achieve 12 rounds in the 10 round magazine. That is the best for concealment. The p320 in my opinion is the best gun to shoot and I carry it a lot. One of my favorite pistols. The 365 XL with the Romeo zero to me doesn't really excel in any aspect. But for my wife she carries it it feels a little bit more confident when shooting it and likes the red dot.
Do you find it easy to conceal the P320 X Compact ?
@@ariesnc6320 Yes I've actually switched and I carry the p320 x compact everyday. I can shoot it so well and I don't find it to be that much bigger on my hip
@@DeadeyeDgen Thanks for the feedback. I am looking at the P320X compact and the Springfield Hellcat Pro.
@@ariesnc6320 both good guns I just like how the p320 fits in my hand better Hope it helps you make a decision
Nice watch, never seen anyone with the same one as I have. Have you had any problems with the start/stop pusher? Mine broke for the second time. (Came for the comparison noticed the watch on the vid/website)
Thanks! I've had issues with it reseting back to zero and the winding mechanism is shot and it needs to go in for repair. I'm having to hand wind it currently. This watch started having issues literally a month after the warranty ended. I love the way it looks but I'm not happy with what happened.
Nice comparison! Yeah it’s always a tradeoff shootability vs concealability. Two upgrades I recommend for the 365XL the Hogue sleeve grip (makes the grip feel like a bigger gun) and Magguts 12+2 insert to add two capacity. That way, the 12 rd mag which is flush with the grip can carry 14 +1. I got the 365XL on sale with the Romeo Zero, that site is a piece of crap. I will be upgrading to something by Trigicon or Holosun. Undecided.
How do you like the straight trigger as opposed to a more conventional circle trigger
320 compact for large handed EDC and standard 320 for home defense? Or are they too close and redundant?
Do you know the P320 compact nitron? Could you recommend it for home defense before the P365XL? greetings from Argentina!
Nice review. Which of your holsters fits the X-Compact?
Thanks! Any of our Executives.
have both...prefer the 320 over 365....However....My EDC is Still My 1911 Officers model !.....Thanks !
Nice video, thanks Harry! Will the P320 xcompact fit in a P320 compact holster?
Like a glove!
Great video. I own a P320 XFIVE Legion i am looking for a 2nd more portable light gun to leave home for home defense or carry in my car. I am not willing to sacrifice accuracy and confort for portability. So you answered my question! Thumbs up great video.
Rented a P365XL, it shot pretty well and I was much more accurate by the 3rd magazine. Then I fired my P320 Compact and the 320 was definitely softer shooting.
In your video sometimes you said "it" or "this gun" and I suggest you make a point of referring to the pistols as "the XL" or "the 320" just to be super clear. All around an excellent video, thank you for posting it.
You can't "Half-ass" shame the guy. He's proud of half assing this presentation, helpful info be damned.
Hey bro what holsters were you using?
The p365 series would be better with a grip that was thicker front to back. They should release a grip like that for the gun, basically like the S&W Sheild Plus grip.
Im going to buy one of these 2 guns. Just trying to figure out what one. If i can find one i want lol
Appreciate your comparison 👍
I will be getting both, eventually.
Gonna make the X-Compact my red dot carry pistol.
But also can't stop wishing Sig would fit 17 rounds flush in the X-Compact since the 365 and XL have 10 and 12 flush respectively...
I don't think we'll ever see that. They'd likely have to completely redo the design.
Which grip on your 320x compact? Considering date of vid I would say it is not the small. I wonder how the small gripped 320 would compare?
It's a medium. The only size I've seen on guns that come straight from the factory. I doubt it'd be that different for 98% of shooters. For some an improvement and for some a worse grip. Just going to depend on the shooter's hands.
I have both guns and love them both equally. I have a Holosun 507 red dot with an Inforce light on the X-Compact. I'm waiting for my gunshop to get in the Romeo Zero for my 365XL. I have them both in a Tier One concealment appendix holsters and obviously the XL is the more 2 comfortable one to conceal
I'm still shocked that the XL has a longer barrel than the XCOMPACT. I pretty much base it one how tight my pants and shirts are. If I have the room I got up to my xcompact or my 229 Legion. It's actually hard to decide which I like best.
That 229 Legion is my dream gun, but I can't quite afford to drop $1.3k yet. Maybe in a year when I'm making more money.
@Obi-Wan Kenobi I got it for a really good price. Something to the tune of $800 if memory serves me correctly. Doubt you'll be able to get it sub 1K now but it is one of the finest guns I own.
X carry for me
If you don't have a large hand, pick 365, it's very very comfortable to shoot
I’m reading the steel mag release on the 320x gets rusty. True?
There's a very noticeable difference in noise, between the two guns.
Bud the trigger of 320 way better than 365 ?
I don’t know man. First time at the range (gun not me) I drew my concealed XL cold and delivered two fatal hits on a bad guy target 20’ fast enough to impress my wife, and that’s fast.
Yepper, I can stand and shoot targets better with a full size gun. I think the XL is the ideal carry gun.
P320 is just sexy and shoots comfortably. I like the thickness. P365 Is easier to conceal . All in all get both
Agree, Get both and mod both to your liking. that's what I do
Do they make a P320 x compact with a thumb safety or just the P365?
At this time just the P365 and other P320 variants
I have an X Compact and I hope SIG comes out with one with a safety and/or a safety retrofit kit. Love this gun!
Too bad you don't make any holsters for the Xcompact. Don't tell me the Xcarry/compact will fit, because they leave too much space at the end .
4:32 if you unlock your elbows, your elbows will absorb the recoil energy so it doesn’t move all the way to your body. I know it’s only fractions of a second but I think it’ll help speed up shooting some
Is it just me, or does the bigger gun (320) kick more? I must be one of the weird ones, that actually finds the smaller guns, have lower recoil. (At least, when I shoot them.)
