Does SIG make a threaded barrel for the standard 365?
Does SIG make a threaded barrel for the standard 365?
I had a small epiphany that results from the "FCU" design of the P365 series pistol today: You can use an unassembled grip module to aid in holster fit evaluation for AIWB.
I was playing with holster fit, thinking about removing the "spacer" on the Wing Claw area of my JM Custom Kydex AIWB 2.5 holster. You can see where it's removed, at the locaion of the three holes on the wing.
Anyway, it occurred to me that the grip module would slide right in, and lock in place, sans a slide. Doing this, I was able to check the result of this small change (I liked it, and will keep the "spacer" removed) directly on my belt. All this without disturbing the configuration my P365 was currently in (10+1 pocket carry, P365 slide, irons, Vedder Pocket Locker), just by using a spare grip module.
For whatever reason, I'd never thought to do this, but it is pretty obvious. Holster retention on most Kydex holsters is almost always via the trigger guard (all mine are). That being the case, the grip module, by itself, will lock into the holster. That way, you can easily test fit for comfort, belt position, orientation, pad position, clip type, etc. all without a "live" gun. Granted, there's no back of the slide, but the holster itself will serve as an approximate space model, especially if you use a Full Sweat Guard (I always do.) And even if you don't, the fit of the holster with a naked grip module only, will help you get an idea of where the holster fits on your body.
I find AIWB is such an individual thing, I'm always fiddling with fit, and this let me do a quick check.
Using MagGuts so 14+1 here. I always carry a spare 15 or 17-round mag except when I'm carrying the 365XL while running. Since I'm not carrying a spare then I like the extra capacity.

Boy, I never thought you would stray away from your 26 gen5 man. When did this Sig thing happen???
I still love the G26. However, I’ve been dealing with some sinus issues that is making it easier for me to shoot with a dot. I didn’t want to have to slice and dice my slide to give it a try. So far, the P365XL is performing very well!
I'm planning on adding the PMM Comp to my P365X with Wilson Combat Grip Module and Holosun 407Kx2. From what I'm reading, is the PMM Comp still the way to go? I know you can get the 365x Compensated Slide from SIG. Out of stock now and $499.99 plus an XL Recoil Spring. And from different tests it seems that the PMM is more effective, as well as more cost effective. Just checking on the hive's experience.

There’s a positive, noticeable difference in recoil between a friend’s P365X w/ PMM comp vs. my P365XL. He uses the DPM recoil reduction system spring with it. I haven’t tried the Sig comp slide, but my brain can’t imagine how it would work all that well.

Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
I honestly feel that with this gun it's not a bad choice because of how much force is on the top round there if you fully load the magazine. This is how I've been running mine also, even with the 10 round magazine.Hey, wife and Darryl Bolke also download 1.
