P365xl or P320 X-Compact
I am contemplating my next purchase and wanted some input on the above choices.

I own a P365 and a P320 X Full and was considering a “tweener” gun. If I buy the X-Compact I would likely add the Wilson grip, carry length as I have a lot of P320 mags.

I want the option of a red dot and like the Sig striker guns hence the reason for considering the above.

No real role other than a do all carry gun when I want something a bit bigger than the P365.

Thanks for your input.

I put an Icarus alloy frame on my 365 XL and with either the 12 or 15 round mag it truly feels like a thin G19. It’s definitely smaller than my 320 compact.
I guess not quite the answer maybe but my 2 cents.

Thanks for the input. I assume you think the grip module was worth the cost. Was there a particular reason you ditched the standard module?

I prefer the P365XL over the P320 X-Compact.

It is smaller, thinner, lighter and shoots every bit as good as the X-Compact.

Ended up selling off the X-Compact and the XL is my go to carry gun.

I have the 365XL and a Sig P320 Compact and carry the XL all the time for daily carry but if we go walking in the woods (405 acres 50 yards from the end of the house)I sometimes carry the P320 Compact in an owb holster. I also like my 365XL over the P320 Compact.

For me, the draw to the P365 is the small size and pocket carrying. The larger P365 means IWB to me, and then I’m doing the P320 Carry.

Since I got my 365XL my 320 X-Carry hasn't been back out of the safe. I really like the 365XL and shoot it better than the 320.

So much so that I'm thinking about possibly putting it up for trade w/ Romeo for trade for a 226. Since I sold my 226 years ago like a idiot when I went through a 45ACP phase.

Thanks for all the input. It looks like I will have to give the XL a hard look.

My P365XL with a Holosun 507K-X2 is my EDC. Prefer over the P320.

Picked up a P365 when they first came out. Later on picked up the P365XL when it came out based on the factory optic mount. Both were groundbreaking, and great firearms, but ultimately sold both as they're just too small for my hands and I don't pocket carry. Being too small for me wasn't really an impediment when shooting them, I just prefer a larger grip and don't mind carrying something a bit bigger.

For carry, the P365XL beats the X-Compact. But, I will say that I own a few P320's and none of them have ever malfunctioned. My P365 and P365XL have had some FTRTB's during break-in, but that could be my high thumbs grip dragging on the slide.
