The Sig Sauer P365 XL is a micro-compact striker-fired 9mm built for concealed carry. Sig lists it as current, and its longer slide and grip module add about half an inch to the length and the height of the standard P365, which takes the flush magazine up to 12 rounds.

The box holds two steel magazines. XRAY3 day and night sights are fitted and the rear sight plate lifts off, so a RomeoZero or an RMSc-pattern dot mounts straight to the slide through an optic cut Sig licenses from ZEV Technologies. The grip module is the 365 XSeries piece, with an extended beavertail and a magwell built into the bottom of it. The trigger is the flat X-Series unit, which Sig says breaks at a straight 90 degrees. Sig offers the pistol with and without a manual safety, and this version has none.

If you're cross-shopping, the Sig Sauer P365 X-Macro matches the 6.6-inch length on a shorter 3.1-inch barrel, adds a compensator inside the slide and holds 17 rounds at 21.5 oz, 0.8 oz more, on a grip 0.4 inch taller. The Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro OSP has an MSRP of $670 and shares both the barrel length and the 4.8-inch grip height at 21.0 oz, 0.3 oz more, with 15 rounds in its magazine.
