It does. I posted a picture earlier of mine with swapped slides.
Especially with the rear sight behind the optic cut. It blocks the rear sight on the slide unless you go higher and leaves you with two not-deep-enough notches.
About the same.
I think Sig made an error on this one.
Suppressor height irons with irons rear is SOOOO 2015.

IMO best practice* for a small window optic in 2022 would be rear irons FORWARD of window. That way you can still use the dot even if the irons “block” seeing the target. It doesn’t block the dot. It’s like an occluded window trainer. Still very usable for tracking and indexing.
But rear irons rear… you just lose all the goodness that makes a red dot work. That kind of stuff is what evolved dot dropping wave techniques instead of straight index.
I very much prefer the 1st Gen P365XL slide configuration. This is a step backwards.
But hey, Sig being Sig maybe they’ll offer a “retro” upgrade for more money, hahah.
*If large irons required, I prefer vestigial irons with a quality optic, I can use shroud framing or slide indexing for most things if the electronics malfunction.
Fully agree. I think I try to keep a few complete slides on the original xl for future builds
He'll I would swap my original slides for the new rear dovetail cut version.
I bought one of the new XL slides as soon as they came out to use it as a proper iron sighted pistol, and then decided to keep the original for a EPS Carry. I never liked the rear sight and optic plate on the original slide for iron use, but it’s just about perfect for a RDS. They should keep both in production IMO.

I prefer the new style P365 XL / Macro style optic slide cut. But I change out the iron sights to get the just right sight picture I prefer with the Holosun EPS carry 6 MOA dot, not to low in the window and not to high in the window. The new optic cut P365XL slides are currently back in stock on Sig’s website. Also, I believe there is a real good chance Radian Weapons will be coming out with their new comp for the P365XL at some point. And then there will probably be a Wilson Combat Macro sized grip frame with interchangeable back straps too. It never stops.

I concur.
Plus, the extractor pin is under the optic with the new design. If it’s not driven down flush, your optic is canted and no amount of E6000 will fill the gap. Or maybe a lot would, but it’s sub optimal.
Yuck. So you’d have to remove the optic to replace / deep clean the extractor.
That’s not good.
Also there’s enough room that you can recess that pin down a mm beneath the optic cut without interfering on the inside.
I would concur with this. Just mounted 6 MOA carry on the XL I picked up earlier this week.
