Not quite my style, but that 226 reminds me of some of the Walther PPQ and PDP steel models.

I know Tacticool is now the rage but IMO that is one ugly pistol. However I will admit that I have been corrupted by the great grandfather of ALL tilting barrel modern Semi Auto Pistols, the 1911.
I've stopped counting.

Looks like they're also releasing a P365 that's even bigger than the Macro. Calling it the "Fuse". Apparently they ran out of nomenclature to describe larger sizes...like P365 "humungo" or "gigantor".
When I saw the Flux last night, I saw an abomination. But, I also appreciated the ingenuity of the folks who designed it, especially that spare magwell.

I don’t mind it until the grips. Yikes, they are bad.
The X-Five isn't that bad; the grips are a bit weird on the aesthetics side but if they don't detract from gaining a good purchase on the gun, it would matter all that much to me. That black IS shiny; my brain...shiny...whoa...
The FLUX(it) is genuinely strange-looking with the spare mag in place. At least it's not configured to be straight up vertical; that would be very bad. But (in)FLUX isn't all that different from other pistol chassis add-ons from 3rd-party accessory makers, so I'd give a pass to SIG and its FLUX(capacitor). One thing that this (what the)FLUX has going for it; aside from the big magazines, the rest of the gun could easily be sold in WA if SIG decides to offer it in a neutered 10rd SKU.

I was wondering how long it was going to take Sig to extend there P365 line. Personally, I think it is the best newer gun they have come out with in a while.
Had my hopes up when looking at the Flux Legion Thingy.
Mayyybe they would have a clean slide without all that shit stamped on it.
Um, no. It doesn't have the VAfive crap, but the rest of it is still on there.
At least they found a three pound solution for a telescoping pistol stock.

That X5 Reserve isn’t exactly my style, but I do like it better than the 226 X5 Legion. On first glance, they look like the same gun with different finishes.
Any word on pricing? If they’re the same cost I’ll go for the Reserve, I have been contemplating the Legion.
