The Perfect EDC Pistol That No One Makes

Published on December 9, 2022
Duration: 10:22

This video explores the concept of an ideal Everyday Carry (EDC) pistol by combining components from the Sig Sauer P365 XL and P365 X Macro. The presenters demonstrate how swapping slides can create a pistol with the concealability of the XL and the reduced recoil of the compensated X Macro slide, offering a potential 'perfect EDC' that Sig Sauer does not currently manufacture as a single model. They highlight the modularity of the P365 platform, allowing users to customize their firearms.

Quick Summary

The Sig Sauer P365 platform is highly modular, allowing users to create a custom EDC pistol. By combining the P365 XL frame with the P365 X Macro's compensated slide, you can achieve a highly concealable firearm with significantly reduced recoil and muzzle rise, offering the best of both worlds.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I reduce recoil on my Sig P365 XL for concealed carry?

You can reduce recoil on a Sig P365 XL by swapping its slide for a compensated slide from a P365 X Macro. This hybrid configuration offers the concealability of the XL frame with the recoil mitigation benefits of the X Macro's comp.

What are the main differences between the Sig P365 XL and P365 X Macro?

The P365 XL is known for its concealability but can be 'snappy.' The P365 X Macro features a compensated slide for reduced recoil and muzzle rise, but its longer frame can lead to printing issues for concealed carry.

Can I mix and match parts between Sig P365 models?

Yes, the Sig P365 platform is highly modular. The fire control module is serialized, allowing you to swap slides and polymer bodies between models like the P365 XL and P365 X Macro to create custom configurations.

What is the ideal EDC pistol configuration for concealability and recoil control?

An ideal EDC pistol configuration, as demonstrated, is a Sig P365 XL frame combined with a P365 X Macro compensated slide. This offers a 13-round capacity in a concealable package with significantly reduced recoil and muzzle rise.
