So I am doing some study about these apparently well thought out and well thought of handguns. I am sort of retiring from collecting guns for the most part and kind of relegating things to more of a "fun tool" like status and will only be purchasing one more 1911 and maybe a revolver or two. Going to spend more time on an upcoming "fun" car purchase and maybe a guitar or two. With this in mind, I am considering something to aid in self defense that is safe and sane to carry and one of these P360 Macro's seem to represent themselves well. Anyone that owns one or has some experience with these. I am kind of overwhelmed by all of the reviews by the typical "gun rag" dudes that seem to range from "beyond tacticool to don't do it or sacrifice your dog, kids, wife". I was impressed by a couple of reviews however thought that Mike Glover's of Fieldcraft was well done as was Hickok 45 and I think James Reeves. For the most part most other reviewers dont have enough street credentials to comment.

I've had three P365 chassis guns...a P365, a P365XL and a P365X. Somewhere around 2,500 rounds total. I have at times converted my P365X into a "comp-less" Macro, using an XL slide. The original gun with a comp didn't interest me, so I built my own, as it were.

It's going to be my configuration for USPSA this fall, when I resume shooting matches. I plan to use my 20 round Macro mags with the TTI extentions. Pic below.

It turns out Sig is introducing the version without the comp as a regular product. James Reeves/TFB gave a interview with Phil Strader on this new Macro variant at SHOT 23: No porting (XL slide), magwell, and new extended slide stop lever. Mentions "tac pack" with 4 magazines. Available "February". Around $750.

My “when the back’s out bad” carry gun is a P365 SAS with a Wilson grip module:

The Macro and the Spectre Comp are the only guns I've been able to keep the target in the window of the optic after the shot. They are also my only comp guns. Phil Strader doesn't call it a compensator but calls it an "expansion chamber" since it's only a shorter barrel in a ported slide. They do make a little "blap" noise and the 3" barrel is what it is. My favorite set up was either comped slide on a standard XL frame.

This is my set up now. A Spectre slide on a Mischief Machine Commander frame. It's the bees knees.

I am ambivalent about the comp, but certainly want 17-20 rounds, flat trigger and an RDS. They seem to be a good offering for the money. Sounds like this will work well time wise as I am about a month or so out from purchase. I have a Smith Shield Plus, but going to get my wife going with that and graduate her from snub nose revolvers. I like the size and it has pretty good capacity, but really want a Sig.

Just mounted my EPS Carry today and did some dry firing. The stock trigger is damn good. This will be for AIWB. Got some 12rd mags coming from @Bayfritz and will order a smaller Wilson grip module for “hot as hell” summertime carry with my smartcarry holster

 

[HOTCHKIS]

and then I mounted my TLR-7A

and then I mounted! Well you know 🤪

I purchased the TTI basepads recently, and have only 109 rounds through them. They installed fairly easily on two 17 round macro mags. I shot both loaded with 20 rounds, no issues. Like most of my P365 magazines, they need a Maglula to get the last few rounds in.

 

[HOTCHKIS]

Loaded the 17rd mags to the max and let it sit overnight and no insertion. I’ll let it sit a few more days or hopefully with some breaking in

it’ll seat

 

[HOTCHKIS]

It’ll seat with 16rds in the mag

I’ve been real impressed with the 365XL I purchased last year. It has proven to be reliable and easy to carry. I plan on purchasing a Macro later this year and w mounting a dot on it.

My 365XL has been a solid gun for me. My only complaint is the grip length is a bit too short for me. To compensate I use the 15rd mags. The XMacro wasn't available when I picked up the XL. I replaced the Romeo Zero with a Holosun 507 and glad I did.

That said, the Staccato CS looks enticing as an EDC as well. Springfield Hellcat is a popular carry in my neck of the woods too.

Good luck...!

Yep, I was going to spend the extra couple bucks on a Holosun. They reportedly have a better sight pic and are shake awake.

I find the Macro grip to be excellent, shooting it back to back with a regular XL slide I find the comp doesn’t make a noticeable difference (2 of my pals at the range agreed) so I left the regular XL slide on since it had a 407k on it already.

 

[UBOATDOC]

I played with one today and really like how solid it felt(as compared to like a Glock)and was better than my Shield Plus. Of course my shop is charging a premium for these at over 8 bills. I am going to talk them down and get a Holosun 407 and gun package deal. One of the other guys that works there showed me his set up that he carries appendix and it looks pretty comfortable even with the RDS.

You won't go wrong with the Sig. A good friend is a LEO, 25+ years. His off duty carry is 365XL.

Ooooh. I like that Wilson grip module. Gotta check it out.

As confirmed by the sales/service guy at my LGS, the comp slide "is a little less snappy" than a non comped XL. I probably will get one anyway as there is not a huge price difference from an XL here and I want the rest of the features of the Macro. Will likely get an XL slide later and the 20 round "end caps" for the mags. I certainly want the Holosun 407 RDS fitted.
