SIG SAUER P365X-MACRO
Posted May 25, 2023
The SIG Sauer P365X-Macro is a compact, semi-automatic pistol designed for concealed carry. It is the latest addition to the growing family of SIG Sauer pistols, offering a combination of features for those looking for a reliable, ergonomic, and easily concealed firearm.
The most notable feature of the SIG Sauer P365X-Macro is its size. At just 5.8” long, 4.3” tall, and 1.1” wide, the P365X-Macro is one of the smallest handguns on the market. This makes it incredibly easy to carry concealed, and obviates many of the size constraints of larger handguns. The pistol also weighs just 17.2 ounces with an empty magazine, making it one of the lightest handguns on the market today, and a great choice for those looking for a light, easy to carry concealed carry option.
The P365X-Macro also features a polymer frame, which contributes to its lightweight design. Despite its size, the pistol is still capable of delivering reliable performance, and features a stainless steel slide with a black nitron coating. The slide is machined to precise tolerances for smooth cycling, and features slide serrations that provide solid purchase for racking. The recoil springs are also made from high-strength steel, helping to ensure consistent cycling of the pistol with each shot.
When it comes to ergonomics, the SIG Sauer P365X-Macro excels. The pistol features SIG’s ergonomically designed frame, which is designed to fit the shooter’s hand naturally and comfortably, providing superior grip and recoil management. The grip is outfitted with stippling for superior purchase, while the trigger guard is oversized for easy use with gloved hands. The beavertail backstrap further enhances comfort and allows for an even higher grip, while the ambidextrous thumb safety provides a further level of safety for the shooter.
The pistol also features an X-Series trigger, which is designed to provide a smooth, crisp trigger break with minimal pre-travel and a short reset. The trigger boasts a flat face for a more consistent pull and a reduced take-up to enhancing accuracy. Additionally, the trigger comes preset from the factory with a 5.5-pound trigger pull, making it suitable for both competition and home defense.
Another notable feature of the SIG Sauer P365X-Macro is its magazine capacity. The pistol is capable of accepting both the standard 10-round magazine and the extended 12-round magazine, or a hybrid mag that holds up to a whopping 15 rounds. This extra capacity can give shooters a much needed edge in a critical situation, and is a great feature for those looking for a carry gun with the power of a full-size pistol.
When it comes to accuracy, the SIG Sauer P365X-Macro impresses. The pistol features a 3.9” barrel designed for optimal accuracy at close range, with a 1:10 twist rate for enhanced stability with heavier bullets. The trigger also contributes to the pistol’s accuracy, providing a consistent pull and allowing the shooter to take accurate shots on the move. Additionally, the P365X-Macro is outfitted with SIG’s XRAY3 day/night sights, which are easy to acquire and provide a bright sight picture in low-light conditions.
Overall, the SIG Sauer P365X-Macro is an impressive package. It is small enough to be carried easily concealed, yet still carries the power and accuracy of a full-size pistol. The ergonomic design of the pistol helps ensure a comfortable and secure grip, while the adjustable trigger and XRAY3 sights ensure accurate shooting. The magazine capacity gives shooters an added edge in a critical situation, making the P365X-Macro a great choice for those looking for a reliable, ergonomic, and easily concealed firearm.

The SIG SAUER P365X-MACRO has been heralded for its accuracy. The gun is highly customizable with an included optical red dot, which allows for easy and precise aim for both short and long range targets. The 3.7" barrel of the P365X-MACRO exerts higher levels of control and accuracy due to its enlarged chambering, and the flat trigger shoe is engineered for a smooth, consistent pull every time that makes for more precise accuracy. In our test shootings, we experienced tight and accurate groupings from every shot despite the gun's slim and lightweight design. The P365X-MACRO is an ideal firearm for anyone in need of reliable accuracy and control.
