P365—> P320 —> Dremel —> epoxy….

[JCN]

So some of you have seen my G26-320…



And there’s all this Macro talk, but the grip isn’t as wide or large as a 320…

And I love the 320 grip angle…

And I have a shit ton of extra P365 grip modules to play with.

So I got to thinking….

What if I hollowed out and made a P320 grip as a sleeve over an existing 365 grip module…

To make a P365-320…

I would Timmy the shit out of that.

Anyone interested in me making a build thread? Hit likes so I know how much effort to put into the thread or else I’ll just post up the finished product.

I'm failing to see the point of this?

So apparently the Macro thing where you put a P322 size grip on a P365 works pretty well.

But it’s still not P320 sized.

P365 will likely never make it to full size because the P320 exists.

But there’s some thought that the P365 FCU and lack of it discharging inadvertently is superior to the P320.

It seems to me a lot of the performance of a gun resides in the ergonomics and leverage of the fingers on the grip.

Especially if you allow compensators that can slow slides.

Plus I have a ton of P365 parts lying around.

I’m thinking full size grip and a compensated XL slide.

Here is an XL slide compared to my G26.

Would be a similar grip form factor.





But instead of a 3” barrel like a Macro, it’d be a 3.8 or so barrel with the threading.

So basically a Super Macro.

So this is kind of what we are working with.

The key is going to preserve durability and torsional strength under recoil so going to try and preserve as much of the original frame as possible.

This may be more of a challenge in the rear where there is a hollow.



My first thought is to heat and flatten the backstrap bump so I can “sleeve” it with the new grip.

The backup thought is to cut the new grip into two C shaped halves to retain front to back strength and graft them to the current frame.

Kind of like side grip panels on a CZ but with a full bottom extension.

I’d like to see how it turns out

So organizing my workshop, I came across this….






Hmmmmmmmmmm…..

I am curious why some larger company hasn't already made something like this. Also, would it be easier to replicate and make small changes if you 3D print a grip module that was a Macro+? Take a Macro 3d scan and upsize the grip to be more or exactly 320 shaped?

I think it would be easiest if a company had 320 and 365 molds and just combined parts.

I expect it’ll be a thing in the near future.

Lack of long enough mags is IMO what stunted the idea before.

I expect a commercially available solution within the next year.

But I have the week off of work…

I am interested to see how this works for you. I am not a Sig fan, so I don't search info on every new model, but I had a similar thought to yours when the 365 macro came out. W/o doing any real checking I thought hmmmm, 320 has had a not so steller rep so far, 365 seems to have universal approval, it started small but has gotten larger, why not make it a step larger yet and slowly phase out the 320. But anyway, yes pls show details on you new venture.
