I have one on a regular 365 and an XL. I like the checkering as it provides a better grip, otherwise I don’t feel much of a size difference. I do think they look much better than stock.

I got my replacement non-warped grip the other day. So now both the XL and the Regular have Wilsons.

I like them, they are just a little more hand filling without being appreciably bigger. And they are much more grippy. The FCU fits a lot more tightly in the frame too.

Wilson really is getting this stuff right lately. I use Wilson frames on all my P320's as well. The A.C. tungsten rods are in the Custom Worx P320 FCU builds, to add a little weight.

I have no complaints with the WC modules. The standard Wilson 365 grip's backstrap did dig into my palm a bit, but the XL version is perfect.

I received my WC XL grip module earlier in the week, and got it installed Tuesday night. Watched the WC video numerous times, and it looked fairly easy to do. Until it came to the darn mag release. I must have dropped that tiny spring on the floor at least three times (not counting the few times it actually stayed on my table). Finally got it lined up, and then struggled with inserting the lock. Finally got it though, but it wasn't nearly as simple as the video indicated... Installed the tungsten rods also, and love the added weight. The grip fills up my hands much better that the original. A big improvement. Just need the snow to go away and warm up a bit before I try it out at the range (which is outdoors). Maybe next weekend...

There was a thread in the armorers section.
A dab of grease kept the spring in place.

My issue was when I removed the FCU from the 365, all the pieces fell off.
Watched a youtube video for an hour to get it back together.

For those that have the XL version of the WC Grip Module, can you speak to the differences compared to the SIG OEM Module. Grip Shape/contour? Palm Swell? Flaring of Magwell? Texture? I know much of this is subjective, but looking for feedback.

I've got P365'X' variant (Std. P365 w/ a P365XL Grip Module) which is pretty awesome (fits my hand well and good purchase as I can get my pinky on the gun), and while not 'needing' to change, a little more palm swell wouldn't be the worst thing. IMO, if the OEM Grip kinda' lacking in any area, it's that. What say you?


I bought a P365XL about a month ago and put about 500 rounds through it. Using my regular grip on the gun I found myself shooting high left (I’m right handed). I’ve never had that result shooing any other gun, even small guns like my PM9 which I bought this P365XL to replace. I have big hands and I found the factory grip too thin for my hands and I was heeling the gun resulting in the high left groups.

I work at a gun range / shop and we received a couple of the Wilson grip modules in for stock last week. I took one out of the package and it was love at first feel! The module was bigger enough in the front and rear grip strap area to make a huge difference in how I naturally gripped the gun. The Wilson module also has more aggressive stippling in those areas than the almost smooth stock Sig grip for a much firmer and positive grip. I installed the grip module on my P365XL and it completely changed the dynamics of the pistol for me. My shots are now dead on using my regular grip, and I’m ready to put this gun in my carry rotation.

I think the Wilson module will make a big difference for those people who have large hands and I would highly recommend those who do to check them out.

Thanks for your take, blindref. Slightly more grip size notwithstanding, anyone see a little more beavertail as an important improvement?

I don't see the beavertail as anymore of an improvement.

I have had my Wilson module for a week now, I have had it to the range twice. It is a better improvement, but not as much as I would of hoped.

The beavertail doesn't really make much difference to me, it is the thicker grip that is the biggest improvement. The stock beavertail was fine.

I love mine, though I also have upgraded to a flat trigger, tungsten guide rod and a standard slide catch.

I like the beavertail, but the longer, thicker grip and flared magazine well make it so much better, as do the texture design and the larger area that is textured.

Where did you get the tungsten guide rod?

I have the 3 rods that fit into the Wilson grip but would like to add the guide rod also.

I just received the Wilson Combat module for my standard P365.
I didn’t have any trouble shooting the gun with the factory grip module, but although I haven’t been to the range with the replacement yet, I believe it will be an improvement. I can’t wrap the middle finger of my firing hand tight against the grip because it no longer bends fully, and the slightly larger grip feels better.

I also installed the three weight rods mostly because I could rather than expecting any greatly noticeable effect. I believe it would require a back and forth side by side comparison to be sure, and that would be too much trouble for me. I would expect the tungsten recoil spring guide rod to make more of a difference, but I’m not willing to experiment to the tune of $70.

I still haven't put the tungsten rods in mine, but the wider and longer grip is really nice. The flared magwell may be the best part. With the mods made, I do notice less recoil, however, I have the green Lima laser on the front as well, but I think the guide rod definitely helps with muzzle flip and recoil. However, that ported barrel is still really loud. However, being my carry gun, its worth it to me for better accuracy.

I'm accurate with it to about 25 yards, then I start to go outside of the 9 ring on a silhouette.
