I changed my mind and canceled my Macro order…
I hope the offer updated grip frames across the line, a flat 15 round with backstraps, and bit of palmswell!
Wilson is doing some market research over on IG.
G19 may be "The Gold Standard" for people with small to medium sized hands.
For myself, with XXL hands a G19 leaves my pinky hanging off without a magwell or mag extension.
The pinky is the strongest part of the grip (has the most leverage) and plays a SIGNIFICANT role in shooting effectively in terms of both speed and accuracy. So no pinky engagement is unacceptable for me.
While I'm biased by my hand size, both my agency and others have conducted testing involving a broad spectrum of people / hand sizes and found (no surprise) that there was a notable difference in performance with service length (G17/45) length grips vs compact (G19) length grips. Despite being a plainclothes agency, we would up with a SIG Carry (G45) sized pistol instead of the compact (G19 sized) pistol we originally intended to adopt based on the performance delta between them among non-dedicated shooters.
So the good news for people already invested in the P365 platform, that a WC grip module plus a magazine would basically be a $150 solution instead of a $800 gun.
I currently have some ProMag 20 round bodies with CZ shadow 2 followers in them that work 100%. They have long bodies and would work in a Macro length grip.
There’s a company that makes space filling extensions to use a 10 round mag in an XL… wonder if you could put that on a 12 round mag to fit a macro body until Sig makes the Macro mags available.
Lego guns are great for consumers and also manufacturers. Think of internet wars fought over whether Glock should introduce a 17 with a 19 grip, or a 19 with a 17 grip. With modular designs, you can have exactly what you want, and the manufacturers and accessory makers sell a lot more hardware.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
Just shot mine today. Very soft shooting compared to my SAS. The gold spectre comp controls weren’t doin it for me. In looking at the grip, it is about 4-5mm wider. They did a nice job overall. Wish the offer the older SAS pots with real sights. Not quit sold on the SAS sights, at least the rear mounted ones. The front sight one seem brighter as it has light entering on all side and the top.
That's definitely worth noting being an improvement for folks with larger hands but the problem I see is that if they do not give the minimum G19 size to the 'other half' of the population then they give up concealment. It's much easier to throw in a Magwell to get the extra length than it is to chop frames and such. Think about these smaller folks if they want to add a magwell, they'd have to be crazy if they're going to conceal it.
