Can you expand on this a bit? Are you talking about recoil comfort? Durability?

Exactly, recoil is snappier than a compact or full-size gun and after a few hundred rounds is not comfortable!

Thank you. I guess that is subjective to the user.

I haven't noticed a major issue with my P365 although I rarely spend an entire day shooting just one pistol.

One thing I have noticed is that, for me, shooting the extended mags in the smallest grip causes a hot spot to form if I use the proper mag base. Something about the edge where the plastic meets the metal meets the heel of my palm is uncomfortable and would likely do some damage with enough shooting.

What I've found is that I have no problem or discomfort if I leave a gap by using the mag baseplate for the next larger size grip frame. This works fine for me:

Similarly, all my 17 round mags have the smallest baseplate that matches the Macro frame. They give me no issues.

I’ve got a p365x and a p320 full size. For me they fill different roles I guess. The p365x to me is the perfect size concealed carry and I’m more than fine with 12 rounds in the flush fit mag. In my case I’d still pick the 365 even over the compact p320 based on concealability. And I’ve shot the 365 so much I basically shoot it as well as my full size options

I recently read a comparison between the Sig P320 and P365, and it got me thinking about which one would be a better fit for me. Both seem like solid handguns, but the P320 seems more versatile with the modularity, while the P365 is appealing for its compact size, especially for concealed carry.
The comparison covered everything from ergonomics, capacity, and performance, but I’d love to hear from folks who have hands-on experience with both. Do you think the P365’s smaller size is worth the trade-off in capacity and customization that the P320 offers? How about reliability and accuracy—any noticeable differences between the two?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and personal experiences. Thanks!

I own and shoot both.

Modularity: both have it these days. Probably more options for the 320, but probably not as wide a gap as you might think any more.

Ergonomics is entirely subjective. I have fat hands with medium length fingers. The 320 is more comfortable for me, albeit not by a large margin.

Capacity and performance, both can be had with up to a 21-round magazine, so no difference there. Performance, both are equally reliable and accurate, at least in my hands.

I carry my 365 daily. I find it easier to carry concealed than any 320. However, it's the 320 X-5 Legion that has night stand duty.

Honestly, I doubt you'd be disadvantaged going either way. Go hold them both. Shoot them both if you have the opportunity. Or better yet, BUY both (if you can).

As was just said, there's lots of modularity with the P365 line.

I carry a P365L by putting a standard grip on my XL gun. 15 round backup mag.

Nice! Love the look.

 

[Wyatt Mason]

P365 all the way. Any size is a better choice imo.

thankx

But I can tell you the 365 is not designed for long shooting days at the range...

What's a long shooting day?

For me, 300 rounds is the most I'll shoot in a day. After that I'm just making noise and wasting ammo as my focus gets poor around that round count.

I have no issues shooting either gun for that amount.

 

[Dribear]

Overall, I say P365. Unfortunately, you only have 9mm, 380, and 22.
If you are wanting to go the Sig modular route and want to run up to best millimeter or .45 in a same setup then you will need the P320.

 

[bac1023]

I don’t really shoot small guns and I have a Hellcat for carry, so no need for the P365.

The only P320’s I like are the all metal models. I own an AXG Legion and have an X-Five SXG on order.

 

[Charles R]

Sig 320's... add the AXG frame and it's gold..
My Sig never went off by itself..
It's a great platform, Sig is kiling it with modularity.

This is something Glock should have done years ago..
I own a Glock, but it's boring..
320's.. just slick and very smooth shooting.
Here's my 320 Frankengun.. started out as a Standard X series full size.

Now has
Faxon barrel ( chameleon)
Grey Gun guide rod / spring (fat rod)
AXG frame with G10 grips.

Thank you. I guess that is subjective to the user.

The way the threads are laid on here on GT , I'm not sure if the Subjective to user observation is relating to rubbing the wrong way on P365 mag extensions, or generally the " not as good for long range sessions " ?

The first , no knowledge .

Of the latter , I can observe :

It is highly variable and Subjective as to how or if Recoil and/ or Snap effects a particular gun's suitability for intended purpose . But relative levels can be compared between different guns , mostly objectively.

As a Class, 1lb & under Micro Nines have significantly more recoil and Flip than G22 in .40 .

The 365X is the first non-Glock to replace any Glock for me, the EDC. The G17 bullet hose with TLR1-HL takes care of the home.

 

[pag23]

I have a full size VTAC P320 for an HD gun ..... 21 round mags, optic and WML and beefy enough to use as a club if I run out of ammo.

That being said, when the XMacro came out and allowed me to carry 17 rounds in a slim config.... the gun sold me plus the modularity is excellent.

 

[GlockedIn]

I currently have five P365 variants and two P320 models. They are all great. The p365 covers the range from micro-compact to compact, and the p320 covers the span from compact to full size.

SiGs modularity initiative, bringing in third party manufacturers with the release of the FCU units was brilliant. Yes, you can pimp out a Glock, but the FCU system lets you build the gun you want without having a drawer full of take off parts you never actually wanted. One of my p320's is total FrankenGun.

Size wise. I have a few thousand rounds through a mostly stock P365. It's not unpleasant to shoot, but like any small, light gun, you will most likely shoot until you achieve desired proficiency and then regularly to maintain your skills. If the plan is to do more extensive shooting maybe go slightly larger. If the original P365 size seems small and the P320 seems big, the 365XL is great CCW option in between.

One warning, if you apply rearward pressure to the trigger on a P320 the gun will ... wait for it ... fire! On the plus side, if you manage to shoot yourself there's a jury somewhere that will blame it on the gun and give you a big check. So that's something.

365 X Macro is what I choose to carry IWB and OWB while training.

My 320 FCU has been delegated to use in a Flux Raider and will never see another grip module.

 

[fredj338]

No real comparison. 2 diff guns for diff purposes. My 365 is a great ccw, but a m18/m17 is a better range or competition or HD pistol imo.

Why though?

I feel like people say that because it's just what people say about full size handguns. I have zero issues ringing 10" gongs at 50 yards with my P365 X Macro.

That’s the part a lot people don’t get, the SiG P365 was a “small gun” now it’s is a series of guns. Your 365 X Macro is comparable to my 320 X Compact in size, conceals better, and hold two more rounds. Plus it’s fun to shoot.
