Where did you see a new module?

The second photo down in the “features” section of the linked page.

I wonder what the new “macro compact grip module” is, and if the manual safety is the same design as on the regular 365s

I think that’s just adspeak - the capacities are the same between the two models. But I agree, I’m very curious about the MS. I’m hoping a Macro grip module and magazines would work for me on my XL.

Isn’t that just the current Macro grip module?

It sure looks like it, the wording has me confused though. Also, sig being sig it might be different enough that it effects holster/mag compatibility.

I believe they are just referring to the standard Macro module.

Just confirmed, the pages for the Macro Comp, Macro Tacops, and Macro Comp Romeo Zero all use the "Macro-Compact" verbiage.

3.7” barrel, manual safety.

Good news! Looks like the pic on the website today doesn't show the MS. But there's definitely a SKU with MS in the specs table: 365XCA-9-BXR3-MS.

This is the large and, somehow, no noticeable change in index vs the factory large.

Makes sense! Luckily don't have that issue but I wonder if this fills the palm better for recoil control. Would prob need to run the medium

I’ll try and get some more pics that shows how it fits the hand better but, yes, between it and the mag well, my hand is better “locked” in.

No, I’m probably less than a case but more than 500 rounds. Remington Golden Saber bonded was the worst performer. Winchester Ranger T ran better but I did have a FTF with it. 124 HST seemed fine.

I should have removed the TLR7a to see if that had any affect. My P365, my son’s p365, and my 365X haven’t had an issue with 147.

Keeping an eye on it.

Please update as you keep an eye on performance. I've only got a few hundred through a Macro with a TLR-7 Sub, but it's been good so far.

My P365X Macro does the exact same thing with 147gr HST. I suspect it may have something to do with the magazines since my XL works just fine with the same ammo. Mine's on its way back to Sig as I'm writing this.

Boresite X Macro chopped for 12rd XL mags compared to an XL. This new module feels just about perfect to me. Fills my hand better than the XL, shorter grip conceals better than the Macro. Have the ability to keep one as a WML gun ( the TLR-7 Sub for the P365 rail sucks). I've always gravitated to carrying a mid size gun (G19, M&P 2.0 Compact, P229), this gun only gives up a couple rounds to those, yet is still a full handful for me. I'll have a trio of these in the next few weeks and plan to use them almost exclusively for the next few years with the exception of a J Frame in the pocket and a standard P365 in an Enigma for true deep concealment.

Those pics of the chopped/channeled/razorbacked macro frame make me wish GAP/Gee plates made a base plate for the P365 series mags. But since they’ve gone the way of the dodo, I guess someone with a 3D printer will have to come up with one. I love those things on my G42 & G26. They make the draw more consistent for me.

Finally got to shoot my home-brew cut-down Macro grip with Razorback insert. Shoots like a stock G19 now, much less flippy in my big hands.

Had a "rapid unscheduled disassembly" of my EPS Carry battery tray due to forgetting to loctite the screw, but had a spare EPS carry on hand. Otherwise really happy with this combo.

Because of the drop in FCU you can configure the P365 anyway *you* want it. This P365XL is currently getting a Monsoon Tactical Hel port job done to it. Other than that it will be getting an Armory Craft extended slide release and hopefully at some point in the near future a little larger manual thumb safety lever and it will be pretty much complete.

If you want a macro frame with a manual safety and/or a p365 manual safety give me a shout. Have a frame being picked up tomorrow (I ordered the wrong gun)

I assume you’re not running a light on yours?

I got my gun back from Sig last week. Pretty quick turnaround. All they did was replace the magazines that I had sent with the gun (I sent both mags that I had). Got it out to the range over the weekend and so far so good. Ran probably 150 fmj and 2 mags of 147 gr HST with no issues.

Not sure if I just got unlucky with getting 2 bad mags or if there's another problem with the gun that will reveal itself in a future range trip. If it's the former I'm wondering if the mag design is just inherently less reliable given how many rounds they're trying to cram in such a small package. Compared to my old mags, the new ones are very difficult to seat when loaded to full capacity. I don't remember my original mags being this hard to seat even when brand new.

I'll keep shooting it and see what happens.

Hmmm. Wondering if they changed the follower to feed 147 jhp better? Any chance you could disassemble one of the new mags and post a pic of the follower?

If not, I understand.

Knowing Sig it wouldn’t surprise me that they quietly changed something.

FWIW, every single one of my 365 mags (10, 12, 15, 17) are like that (extremely stiff) when inserted Almost takes the Jaws of Life to load them. No issues in 1,132 rounds, including perhaps 50 Federal 147 HST carry ammo in that total.

Here are some pics I just took of some disassembled P365X Macro mags. I got one of them the day they were released on Sig's website and I got the other one a couple of weeks ago from Sig. I looked both of them over pretty good and also used my dial calibers to check dimensions on the followers, mag bodies and springs. I found no meaningful differences in any of the magazine components dimensions.

I have seen the Boresight Razorback and now these FDEZ backstraps for the Macro...question?

I have M hands, and typically don't use a backstrap on a G19 or G34; my P365XL fits me almost perfectly. Are these grip modules/backstraps with the big hump in the rear meant for folks with larger hands? Or do they somehow have some other advantage in terms of overall hand position that I am missing?

I have an interest in trying a Razorback grip module, but the cost of one from Boresight is way too spendy for me. A Medium FDEZ backstrap is in the cost range of what I can allocate for an experiment like this, but I was curious whether it would be a waste of time given my hand size...?

I have medium hands and generally do not use Glock backstraps.

I find the standard P365/XL frame too small front-to-back, and this leaves less space for my support hand. A Boresight Razorback P365XL module was at the bottom end of “big enough” but I would have preferred more trigger reach. The Wilson module is an improvement. The Macro with a large backstrap is a bit better than the Wilson for me. My hope is these new backstraps will further fill out my hand.

I have smaller but thick hands. A macro large works well for me but do think a big mote backstrap would fill out my brand better

Wanted to provide an update on the nosedive issues with my X Macro. I had sent it back to Sig and they just replaced the magazines.

Now I think I've figured out that the problem is partly with me. This gun (or more likely the mags) seems very sensitive to limp wristing. Thinking back, almost every time the gun malfunctioned I was doing some one handed accuracy drill where I wasn't focusing as much on managing recoil or holding the gun very tight. It rarely if ever malfunctioned with a 2 handed firing grip. I'd consider myself a fairly experienced pistol shooter. I've never had an issue with limp wristing with any other pistol I've owned (Glocks, Sigs, M&Ps, 1911/2011s).

This was confirmed last weekend when I brought a relatively new female shooter to the range and let her shoot the X Macro. The same nosedive malfunction occured like 50-60% of the time when she was shooting it. Sure enough when I tried barely holding onto the gun with 2-3 fingers, I could replicate this malfunction nearly 100% of the time.

I happened to have my P365XL with me, and I swapped the slides to see what would happen. The XL slide on the Macro frame malfunctioned consistently when I held the gun lightly. However the Macro comp slide on my XL frame with 12 rd mags ran 100% even when I was barely holding onto the gun with 2 fingers. I was shooting 124gr S&B and Fiocchi FMJ, so fairly good quality target ammo. The Macro has about 6-800 rounds fired total so far.

Curious if anyone else has noticed this?

Sometimes it’s the little things. The LTT Grip Anchor transforms the G19 grip for someone with larger hands into something like a G45 without the grip height of a G45.

Now comes the FDEZ Werks FDEZ-3 blackstrap for the Macro grip module. $39.95. https://fdezwerx.com/fdez-3/

Mine arrived today, and boy does it feel good. Makes a Macro feel almost the same as a double stack grip. Maybe as good, a few range trips will tell the tale.

I went with the FDEZ-2. So far I’m happy - more space for my support hand, which is what I was after. Very reminiscent of something that costs about $100 elsewhere.

The pin holes on my samples are rather tight compared to OEM. Took a hammer and punch to install.

Went to the range today and went through 115 rounds with the FDEZ-3. This thing is legit. I’ve never felt so much in control of the Macro. It genuinely pains me to say this but I preferred it to the large Boresight Razorback backstrap.

Just got a non-comped x-macro with the 3.7inch barrel last week. As someone with freakishly small hands, I have to say I love the grip. It is by far the best "full size" grip I've used for my hands.

Just picked up the Tacops after a successful experiment testing the sig ergonomics on the p322 platform with 507k optic.

Works great, makes me look like I can shoot. I am fastidiously wiping the mags and slide down with breakfree to try and stave off any of the infamous rust concerns. Hopefully my copy is coated to standard.

Tested Winchester Ranger Bonded 147gr RA9B which grouped phenomenally, then tried 147gr HST which was not so great (which is unfortunate as RA9B is harder to get).

My 124gr reloads loaded with Precision Delta JHPs and 5gr WSF powder were very accurate.

I wonder if these barrels like the 124gr bullets best and the RA9B 147s are an outlier.

I gave up waiting for the Wilson Combat grip module to be released "soon", so I ordered a X-Macro Grip module and a Sig P365X-Macro Magazine Funnel from Proven Outfitters.

108787

I really like the magwell; it's nicely machined aluminum, and fits tightly around the lower grip area with a single screw and insert square nut. I'm not sure if Sig has tightened up QC, but whereas previously in dry fire I'd notice a slight movement of the fcu in the grip, this one is noticeably firm with no play I can tell. I put the S backstrap on, as grip circumference with that most closely matched my carry gun (P365X) GC.

I basically ended up with a P365 X-Macro Tacops. Counting up the FCU (used), X-change kit (for the slide, barrel, RSA), magazines (MGW) and now grip module and magwell, I'm up to $621 for a gun which retails for $750. So a slight savings to produce a mixmaster gun. And it was easier for me to spread out the purchases instead of a lump sum. This is going to be targeted for USPSA CO this fall, when I get back to shooting matches.

I was able to handle one briefly a few days ago. Another agent had purchased one to replace their P320 X-Compact as an approved personally owned weapon. I liked it. The craziest part to me is that it’s almost dimensionally identical to a G43X but it holds 17+1. The grip module/frame looked like it was maybe 0.1” wider than the G43X/48 frame. I didn’t get to practice reloads or anything but the magazine well gave the impression that reloading would be pretty easy. I’d like to shoot one so I could compare it to my P365X and XL. I might buy the grip module at some point and just slap it onto my XL.

I enquired to Talon as to a granulate grip panel for the Sig OEM Macro grip, since I could not see it in the drop down to order. I had granulate on my G34 and liked it a lot for matches, so I was thinking I’d do the same with the Macro. I got this prompt courteous reply:

“ Richard,
Thank you for your email. Sig stepped up the factory stipling on the module between the 365X/XL and the X-Macro. Because of the aggressive factory stipling on the Macro, we aren't able to create a quality bond with our Granulate material. The factory stipling creates high points that the material will adhere to, but prevents the rest of the adhesive from properly bonding with the frame. We've played around with re-designing the adhesive compound and even the Granulate material, but at the end of the day we weren't able to bring the bond up to our standards for sale. This is something we're still looking at and want to pursue, but at the moment isn't something we are comfortable with passing onto our customers. Our Rubber and PRO material is a little more pliable and has no issues with adhering to the Macro frames, but until we can improve the Granulate material we will only have Rubber and Pro as an option. Sorry we don't have the answer you're looking for, but hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any other questions. Have a good day!

Haven't thought about WML for a bit, but with the arrival this week of my Macro grip module I've been thinking of getting one. This gun would be for competition/HD use, so I'd need a new R/C holster for it for USPSA, and something to keep it in bedside.

Looking at three options, Holosun P.ID, Baldr S and Streamlight TLR-7a.

The Holosun looks YUGE and I don't know what their track record is like for WMLs. The Baldr has a rechargeable feature which I like from the standpoint of no batteries. I have a small one of theirs as a AAA light that's seen light use, and I would guess their WML would work as well. I have had a Streamlight, analog, old-school light several years ago for my M&P which worked well.

Is there an obvious choice among these three for the Macro, or another supplier to pick from?

Holster support and track record for the Holosun is minimal.

Olight has some (not top tier) holster support but a very mixed reputation. I wouldn't personally buy one.

Streamlight TLR7A and TLR7sub have the best track record and holster support for a small light. Seems the obvious choice.

There's still really only a few lights which have a track record and level of holster support I would consider acceptable, the TLR7, Streamlight TLR1, and Surefire X300.

Understand but after seeing what some of those grip modules run plus of the firearm cost, it puts it right at the cost of my G26.5 MOS and RDS. Almost twice the price if I had waited for the BL version.

I got sick of waiting for WC to turn out a X Macro module so, finally picked up a Sig module, some mag's, put in an XL FCU, XL slide with PMM comp, 407K x2 and voila! Franken X Macro long slide? I did notice for some reason, there's enough difference between the trigger reach on this compared to the WC XL's I shoot all the time, I was getting trigger bite with the straight trigger after a couple of mag's, I swapped the FCU out for a curved trigger and no more bite. I've got to say, the gun handles and shoots really well, now the wait for my JM 2.5 to show up.

Ok, gents, I’m ready to part with some money. Advice on how best to build/buy my 365, please.

I’m wanting the Macro frame, I think, unless I can find a local WC XL grip for comparison. I have shot all the factory grip modules and the macro shoots best with not much loss of concealability. A chopped down Macro frame and a flush fit 15 magazine is my ideal- I so wish they would have made it a half inch shorter and not tried to stuff 17 in it just to beat Glock. But the main decision is regarding the barrel length. I originally wanted the macros comped slide but am concerned by the reported lack of accuracy and the fact I can get the Tacops for $100 cheaper with the extra mag (don’t care about the magwell or extended controls.)

Question for the group: is there a meaningful difference in sight acquisition between the macro frame w 3.7 slide/barrel and the macro comp version? If there IS, I am interested in the comp. This takes me down the road of if building one is a better option . I’m well aware that the PMM solution with the 3.1 slide is the best (real comp- most efficient in reducing rise) option, but the 3.7 slide sent to Monsoon Tactical for the Helle port is cheaper and only $25 more than getting the factory setup once you add in the money for the third magazine, which I would purchase.

Any suggestions on the most efficient way of getting the best balance? My priority order is shootability - price - concealability - whatever else I’m missing.

How would you guys do it differently with hindsight and the latest aftermarket support?

Man, same exact situation with me. But, I’m picking up a standard sku from the local Sportsman’s Warehouse for about the same price since I won’t have to pay for the transfer and the mil discount will negate the taxes Id have to pay from a LE website. All said and done, I’m paying the same price and getting two more magazines. The only thing I miss out on is the magwell. I’ll live…

Also, the list of skus includes the manual safety models. Which Sportmans is showing in stock for $649. So the price works out the same; still $100 ahead if you plan on adding magazines anyway.

By the time I pay shipping, tax, and transfer fee, the $617 local is better with the free magazine promotion. I was really on the fence between the Macro and XL but the promotion pushed me over the line.

I have shot the XL and the Macro comp and agree the Macro is a faster shooter. But wonder how much is the grip size vice the ported slide. Have you ever compared the ported/non-ported Macro models?

No I don’t have any experience with the ported Macro. We are prohibited by policy from using the ported models. My brother owns a Spectre Comp that I’ve shot a little but I never got a chance to compare it to my regular XL directly.

You ready to help me make one? A 17 mag with 1/4 inch cut and the mounting tabs re-bent would work perfectly with a baseplate from the old SIG mags to make a 15-16 rnd mag that fits flush inside the flare of the macro grip. I’m looking at this right now. JCN

Any tips on stripping the mag for malfunction clearing?


I’ve had some 1911 mags whose baseplates insert enough into the magwell that the checkering bites into the plate and locks the mag up. Locking the slide back and forcing the mag out by pushing down on the feedlips has worked well for me in the past and is my go-to technique.

JMCK Wing Claw 2.5 Macro Data point- if you move the rubber spacers from between the kydex shell sides to between the shell and claw (or just remove them in general) then an XL frame fits like it was designed for the holster. Absolutely no need to purchase two holsters.

I don't remember reading this here, but maybe I missed it.

Wow, you are right, I had a look at Wilson's web site for the P365 / P365 WC pistols. I can't imagine those selling well. I guess that's why they are on sale with some 15% off. Those must be a tough sell at that price point, given the how soft the firearms market seems to be at the moment. I would not be surprised if they have a WC Macro version out soon.

They don't make any objective performance claims that I can see, merely allude to vague improvements, and most of what's left appears to be mostly aesthetic changes and "bolt-on" mods that most of us could install ourselves.

Fair enough and to each their own. I do think they've "created" something that should be quite easy to roast pretty hard but, I'll stop there. I just want to know what savage is out there buying modular, polymer-framed guns for aesthetics?! ;)

YVK won a Macro lower/XL upper at a match last summer, and despite my pestering him as to how good the Macro shoots, he still hasn't shot it. Today, he was shooting a drill with his 365, and then repeated it using a 17 round mag, and was 20 percent faster his first try. I teased him that maybe this Macro lower idea wasn't so stupid. He has a 3.1 inch upper with a PMM barrel and comp, and I suggested he drop that right on the Macro lower.

I put my PMM upper on my Macro lower, and shot some drills for YVK at the end of my practice session. This combo is the best shooting Macro combo I have tried. Here is a short video with:

1) two hits to three steel at 10 yards

2) two hits to each paper A zone at 10 yards

3) two body, one head at 7 yards

4) a five shot freestyle group with Gold Dot 124+P at 20 yards

Since I am a fiddler with different pistols, I have a Safariland CUBL set up with a QLS receiver and TREX leg strap. That allows me to easily switch holsters, and positions the holster like my competition rig, making my drawstroke similar.

Took the 365 AXG Legion Macro or whatever it is called out today. I had wanted to try out my new SG GO timer and film the session but with the snow, mud, and cold I just didn't have the gumption to tackle that. It sighted in easy with the EPS carry except for the fact that I had a hard time with the trigger in slow fire. It has more creep in it than Joe Biden. When I sped up I didn't really notice it. I wore gloves on and off depending on what I was doing. Ran the RM DOM and didn't do great, but not shabby either. The 2 shots in the 8 ring were totally on me as I was not nearly deliberate enough at the 15 yard string actually shooting it faster than the 10. I don't care what anyone says, that expansion chamber/velocity reducer on the end tames the gun. It shoots much calmer than my XL. I get that some of that is grip length.

I don't think I have shot that drill since a Lee Weems class like a year and a half ago. I don't remember what I shot it then but I do remember Heather Kramer Reeves beat me. That was near the end of the class in nice weather so for cold and cold, this wasn't terrible today.

Went to the range today and went through 115 rounds with the FDEZ-3. This thing is legit. I’ve never felt so much in control of the Macro. It genuinely pains me to say this but I preferred it to the large Boresight Razorback backstrap.


I agree 100%, I've tried all the MACRO grip frames and different size backstraps and this configuration fits **my** hand size the best by far and still points right on target. Other than adding UNK's or Armory Craft's larger manual thumb safety to my pistol when they become available in the next month or two, my pistol is complete.

No, not for me, my P365 MACRO XL still points right where I am aiming at. I was also a little concerned about that, but the FDEZ WERX #3 and also their #2 backstraps point fine for me even though they are slightly different in shape. The FDEZ #2 backstrap felt real good but the FDEZ #3 felt the best for **my** hand size because it had more material towards the bottom of the hump and wasn't slopped in quite as much. It's just my preference. Anyone interested in the FDEZ #2 backstrap, message me.

Well being the dumb@ss I am, I ordered a Tenicor for my 365 AXG because lefty and they had some in stock. Super quick shipping but of course being Sig the AXG frame will not fit in this holster without some modification. I should have known better as when I contacted Tony at JM about it, he said he didn't know about compatibility yet but doubted it as Sig is the single worst company for making rolling changes and screwing things up.

Check out Ndz’s x macro backstap. They’re made of aluminum so you get a little extra weight, not much but a little. The xxl has the exact same feel as the Boresight razorback without the price tag. I was eyeballing the Fdez until I came across the Ndz. Figured $10 more why not.

Agreed. The Macro lower/XL upper has become my favorite carry pistol.

When the 365 came out, I was impressed by its capacity, but I never was thrilled shooting it. The XL was better, but still not something I went out of my way to shoot. The Macro, I shoot every chance I get.

Same I suck at shooting compared to a lot of y'all. But been running a xl chopped macro in local comps from aiwb with the goal of finishing top 25% and so far so good. Great flat shooter.

"...the 4.1" XXL Barrel..."

Ok they have my interest...I looked that up and apparently the barrel that goes into this build is made in their factory in GA...I wonder if this is the same length as would go into the "XXL" slide seen teased by Sig a while ago:

I think you will really like the fdez 3. 1 and 2 are pretty eh. I do like the boresight a tad more.

Medium small hands.

Thanks, I am trying to wrap my head around a larger backstrap that has a yuge rear extention making sense for me...but most all ya'll are better shooters than I am. Plus I see these Razorback modules being touted, with similar rear cabooses on them, it really makes me wonder about whether my hands / finger length could get on the trigger surface with one of those.

Am I just fundamentally misunderstanding the operating principle of grips with big rear extensions, and in reality, people (like me) with M/L hands can use these grips effectively...?

Maybe you have mentioned it elsewhere, but could you explain what you gain from going to a Macro and then chopping it vs an XL?

A better grip and a pic rail. I've had Boresight do a pair of them, plus one chopped down to regular P365 size.

I think this is an analogy that will work well enough. It's like lifting with a skinny department store barbell versus a proper Olympic-sized barbell. The larger barbell opens up the grip a bit more, allowing you to apply more force over a larger surface area.

Similar concept with razorback-style backstraps. Difference being the grip circumference for the middle finger, thumb, and index finger is usually unchanged so you get a balance of larger grip surface area without substantially affecting trigger reach.

The xl is too thin for me and the the macro with its interchangeable backstraps and side panel.shape is perfect. I don't carry a light so the rail doesn't impact me.

Been chopping some for other people as well and most people have loved it.

If you shoot me a pm can send pics and a video of one running. Personally I have way better recoil control with a chopped module vs oem xl

Are you worried about over insertion with the 17 and bending the ejector on a slide lock reload? Or do you have a guard on the 17 to make it XL dimensioned, or you think that is a low prob scenario that you would avoid by seating carefully?

I was just talking about this with P320s at work this morning. I’m not sure it’s possible with the P365 because of how solidly the ejector looks to be built into the fire control group. I’ve not heard of this happening to anyone with the P365 series although I’ve heard of three incidents with P320s at my agency.

I ordered the NDZ Performance XL backstrap along with the FDEZ WERX #2 and #3 backstrap. I have been switching back and forth between the #2 and the #3 for about a week trying to decide which one I like the best. They both feel pretty good, but the #3 edges out the #2 for **me** because of the little more extended palm swell towards the bottom of it. It made the grip feel a little more secure in my hand over the #2. Seeing as everyone’s hand size and finger length varies from person to person, what I prefer may not be what you prefer. The pointability between the #2 and #3 did not seem to vary a whole lot to **me**. Also the return policies of both companies is not very customer friendly. If anyone is interested, I have the NDC Performance XL backstrap available for $40. shipped and the Fdez Werx #2 for $30. shipped. Both are like new condition. PM me if interested.

I'd certainly would verify it at least. The Sig Romeo Zero elite install instructions specify 9 in-lb of torque, which is a curious value because there are not a lot of torque wrenches that go that low. It's also not a lot, relative to other typical values (Holosun typically specs 15 in lb for instance).

Can't go wrong with removing it and reinstalling yourself; that's probably what I'd do also.

Fix-it-sticks mini starts at 6, but the next increment is 10, so you'd have to guestimate.
