I'm considering this because the XL has:
-Red dot compatible (not sure I'm going this way, but figure to save some money just in case)
-flat trigger (haven't tried it yet, but 1000's of keyboard warriors can't be wrong)
-longer barrel should help hold it in the holster (that's been my experience with baby glocks vs midsized glocks)

And the P365 has a shorter grip which should make it easier to conceal. But wondering what others had found.

Thanks!

What is great about the modular handgun is that common folk like us, can accomplish this with little fuss. I want nothing off the XL except the longer grip (and matching mags), and you want nothing off the “standard”(?) 365 except the shorter frame and mags. Since none of those are serialed/controlled by GCA, you could just buy an XL, remove the grip, box it with the mags and mail it to someone, like me, who was interested in trading even up. No gun dealer necessary...

I haven't done a formal test, but I suspect it would produce approximately 2" groups. I base this upon the results I obtained with the lima365 which was on the pistol before I went with the RMSc. Those tests were done at 25 yards using a rest.

Covert Carry - This is my every day carry that I set up about 2 months ago - my 365X.

After purchasing the complete lower I put 240 more FLAWLESS rounds through this pistol set up you see below (previous round count with the standard P365 upper and lower was in the low 800's round count). Bought four 12 round mag bases from SIG for $5.00 a piece and replaced the base plates on my P365 12 round extended mags.....All cycle perfectly and can hold 12 rounds without any issues....Mark

Do you mind me asking why you removed the laser?
I have lasers on most of my carry guns.
