Glock G43X 9mm vs Sig Sauer P365 XL 9mm

These two slim nines are both 1.1" wide and within 0.1" in overall length, 6.5" for the Glock G43X 9mm and 6.6" for the Sig Sauer P365 XL 9mm. From there they diverge. The P365 XL holds 12+1 to the G43X's 10+1, runs a 3.7" barrel against 3.41" with a 5.6" sight radius against 5.24", and is optic-ready with XRAY3 day/night sights; the G43X is not optic-ready and uses fixed sights. The G43X is 2 oz lighter (18.7 oz vs 20.7 oz) and 0.24" taller (5.04" vs 4.8"). Trigger pulls are within 0.1 lb, 5.4 lb to 5.5 lb. MSRP is $538 against $649.99.

Pick the Glock G43X if:

• You want to carry 2 oz less, 18.7 oz against the P365 XL's 20.7 oz
• $538 against $649.99, a $111.99 difference
• You do not need a factory optic cut

Pick the Sig Sauer P365 XL if:

• You want 12+1 instead of 10+1 from the included magazines
• You want the optic cut and XRAY3 day/night sights included rather than added
• The longer 3.7" barrel, the 5.6" sight radius and the 0.24" lower height suit how you carry

Width is identical and length is within 0.1", so concealment is close to a wash. The choice is the P365 XL's two extra rounds, optic cut and night sights against the G43X's 2 oz and $111.99.
