I think you are paying the extra for the slide. The separate optics plate location and the compensator cuts. If they eventually sell a non comped version I expect it will be close to the price of an XL.

lol, don't think of it as an expensive 365, think of it as a cheap Spectre Comp 365.

Ugh... why 700 bucks? Is there a "standard" version that's closer to the 500 dollar price point of the standard 320/365?

Nope.

You are paying extra for the internal comp.

Nothing wrong with that.
Shooting competition is a great way to develop pistol skills if that's all you're after.
In my years of shooting IPSC/IDPA, I was a little more competitive in nature.

Lots of my buddies are the same way. They love the high end 2011's, comps, gas pedals, parrots, czechmates, etc. Race guns are boring to me, I get the appeal but there is none for me. I like the divisions that are practical. To each his own. The Macro will compete very nicely in those.

I think how the Macro would be classed would decide it competitiveness. If you stick it in open because of the comp and optic, it obviously wouldn’t fare as well as production or SSP.

The thing about playing the game is you have to play the game.

Yea the comp could be a killer. I think if rational minds rule the day , the integral comp on a large scale production gun would be considered stock not open.

They just need to sell the Grip Module and magazines so people can convert their P365XLs.

I think in local matches you could probably get away with it in SSP.

I am honestly not interested until I shoot one. Even then, I don't see how this does anything interesting.

Personally, I think SIG should take that 17 round magazine and squeeze it into the SIG P210 Carry (with an ambidextrous safety).

Wilson needs to make grip modules and of course they’ll sell the mags.
Now we just wait!

This is probably going to be my new EDC, once I have more rounds through it. It is much more comfortable to shoot than my other carry options...that being said it's not like shooting a 228 or 226.

^^^ Which raises the obvious question: How long before we see models with 3.9", 4.4" and/or 4.7" barrels?

It's a great position for SIG to be in. There are moments, however, where it reminds me of a dog or cat taking off at full speed and having the hind legs come around the side of the front legs because the front legs aren't moving fast enough to keep up.

Ah, well. I need to get myself down to the range and see how a P320 Compact and a P365XL actually compare when shot side by side.

If anyone is thinking about adding a Sig Sauer manual safety to a 365 macro, it is much more difficult to accomplish compared to doing the same
modification to the other P365 models. The
polycarbonate frame on the macro model is thicker
than the other models. After much careful cutting
and filing to reduce frame width of the macro frame
I was finally able to get enough space between the
Safety paddles and the frame to allow the safety to
operate. Not a fun project!

I agree. I thought it would be easier than it was. It works but I have since decided to use my Macro as a donor. Donor slide, donor fcu, donor mags. I just put it all in a Wilson Combat grip module with the appropriate baseplate on the 17 round mag and it’s basically a Macro that can go smaller and feels better in my hand.

I had no intention of buying a 365 macro. As I told a co- worker this week. I already have a 320 xcompact and a 320 Xcarry. And I have larger hands so there was no need to get one.

Then I made the mistake of handling one at a guns tore in a neighboring town. I just fell in love with the grip and ergonomics. I ended up getting a LE version. No comp, suppressor sights, magazine funnel and a extra mag. I have a Holosun he507x-gr that I think will mount to it. Just ordered a gcode phenom stealth for it. I think it should carry even better than the xcompact. So I guess I drank the kool aid

Don't feel bad. So many people have blasted the Macro only to go "hmmmm" once they handle it.

I"m very happy with mine and ditched my P320 X-Carry in favor of the Macro.

I really enjoy shooting the Macro and have a number of them that have performed well.

While shooting a 365 Macro this afternoon, the gun stopped working properly. It was feeding cartridges, the striker felt like it was releasing, but the round wasn't firing. The cartridge had no mark on the primer. The trigger pull weight also felt lighter.

Initially, I thought I might have a broken striker. I then switched slides with my carry gun, and it still wouldn't fire. I switched to the lower from my carry gun, and everything functioned properly.

Back at home, the Wheeler gauge said the trigger pull was now two pounds lighter. After removing the FCU, we can see part 29 is broken, and I believe not depressing the firing pin block. Will call Sig in the morning.

What is part 29?

Safety lever.

Pistol is on the way back to Sig for repair. Based on the FCU serial
Number, it was a recent manufacture TacOps (with 500 or less rounds on it).
