Sig P365 X-Ray sights Login/Join 
Member
posted
I love everything about my 365 but, the sights not so much. I have several Sigs and they are all equipped with Sig light night sights (or what ever they are called) and they are great,but, I really do not like the X-ray sights. Particularly the rear sight. It is small and not very bright.

Any one else Feel this way? Has anyone already changed them if so with what?

All of my Xray3 equipped guns made it a couple of range sessions then got swapped out.
The front post is to fat, the rear notch to narrow and I just don't pick up green that well.
I had a set of XS DXT2 sights that I tried on a 228 but didn't like them on that gun.
But the XS sight seems better suited to this little gun and the distance it gets shot at.
Still have to hit the range and make sure they are on target but I like them a lot better than Xray3 sights.
They are for a gun with 8/8 sights but I felt it was shooting a bit low at 3 and 15 yds using a combat sight picture so they should be OK.

I like the sights but would prefer a contrasting front and rear, maybe an orange or red front sight. After looking at my front sight now after a couple of range sessions, my 365's front is dead. I guess the tritium vial cracked, so I might get another sight. It seems I shoot low with the factory sights and might want to change it up.

Powermad's sights look nice and something I would be interested in. I will have to check them out.

At ten months age, my P365 X-Ray sights are holding up just fine, and are dead nuts accurate for me, I like 'em.

I wasn't as crazy about the X-rays, either. Pretty good, stock sights for a pistol, however I prefer Trijicon HDs on most all of my carry pistols and therefore I changed mine out.

Given that the 365 is a close up and personal weapon, I like the big green front sight for fast index shooting in daylight and in reduced light has the same visual appearance as standard sights. I'm partial to them, personally.

I'd rather it be orange than green and have a more open U shaped rear, but they are very decent as is.

I have a 365 that the sights went dead at four months. My 365 SAS lasted just three months. Sig sent a tag and replaced both, but what a coincidence.

I think the X-rays are decent for stock sights but I'd much prefer a fiber optic/night hybrid that gives you a bright dot in ambient light brighter than twilight. My problem with night sights in general is that when it's dark enough to really see them it's too dark to clearly see your target.

My P365 (born date Oct. 2019)now has the stock night sights. The front and left rear night sights are very dim while the right rear is completely dead. I have texted Sig and am hoping they will just send me replacement sights. Failing that, what is the consensus recommendation for replacements? I do like the idea of hybrid front sight.

I just switched my x-ray for a set of tritium ameriglo pro-glo green front, white outline rear. I went with a one size shorter front sight to see if it will bring up the POI of 115/124gr ammo which shoots too low for my liking (I really don't like drive the dot). Haven't shot it yet though. But the pro-glo green front is brighter than the x-ray green and super bright if you hit it with a light for a second.

I was having difficulty seeing the P365 XRAY front sight in dim daylight. I replaced it with the TFO (Tritium Fiber Optic) front only. More better.





If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

The XS DXT2 sights for a 229 worked out perfect for my 365.
It was a bit low with the OEM sights and now I can keep all the shots in the Dot Torture targets at 7 yards.
Still working on shrinking my pattern at 15 yards, got an XL grip mod, Hogue grip sleeve and a GGI trigger inbound.

So far, I really like my 365, but, to see the stock sights, I need to wear my +4 shooting glasses. As a carry gun, I need to be able to shoot it accurately with my street glasses. I have Trijicon HDs on several of my other carry guns, and am looking around for a lightly used yellow, size 8, to bring up the point of impact. In the meantime, I ran across a Dawsen, night sight, with a white ring. I can't see it as well as an HD, but, I can see it well enough to keep all shots in the "head" of an IDPA, or USPSA target at 15 yards. I also added an Armalser in green

Not quite at 10 months here, but ditto otherwise.

OK now I am confused...what actual size sights do we need for the P365? I keep running into 8/8 but references seem to indicate 6/6 is correct. In daylight I mostly just want a fast front sight acquisition. At night it helps me to have some rear sight acquisition (as single line would be fine) while putting the front sight on the target. So...best size? Best option for basic combat-type sights for quick center mass shots?

My factory, front sight is a 6, and it shoots below point of aim. At some point I’ Going to replace it with an 8.

365 is a 6/8 combo. Marked on the sights.
If you are on target get sights that are 6/8.
If it seems to be low then get 8/8.

Sights are all about personal preference. What works out well for one is the suck for someone else.
For the 365 I like the XS sights, just cover the target with that big orange dot and go.
I like the Trijicon HD XR sights also but they are kinda big for the 365.

I am not a fan of the Xray's on my P365 so I bought the SAS slide for it. Problem solved.
