The Sig Sauer P365 X-Macro is a compact striker-fired 9mm built for concealed carry. Sig has it in the current line, and it holds 17 rounds in a flush magazine behind a slide 1.1 inches across, with a compensator built into the slide itself so the barrel stays at 3.1 inches and the pistol gains no length at the muzzle.

Two steel magazines come in the box, XRAY3 day and night sights are fitted, and the slide is cut for the Shield RMSc footprint, so the common micro dots mount with no plate under them. The grip module is the XMACRO pattern in polymer with an M1913 rail under the dust cover, which takes a standard weapon light instead of one built for a proprietary rail. The trigger is flat faced, and this version has no manual safety.

If you're cross-shopping, the Sig Sauer P365 XL matches the 6.6-inch overall length on a longer 3.7-inch barrel at 20.7 oz, 0.8 oz lighter, but its flush magazine holds 12 and its grip stands 4.8 inches against the X-Macro's 5.2, so it hides more and carries less. The Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro OSP has an MSRP of $670, weighs 21.0 oz, 0.5 oz less, holds 15 rounds on the same barrel length as the XL, and has no compensator in its slide.
