Frequently Asked Questions

How do MagGuts increase magazine capacity for the Sig Sauer P365 XL?

MagGuts replaces the factory base plate, spring, and follower with specially designed components. This allows for an additional two rounds to be loaded into the 12-round magazine without any external extensions, maintaining the original magazine's footprint.

What is the correct way to install the MagGuts follower in a P365 XL magazine?

When installing the MagGuts follower, ensure the curved part of the follower faces the front of the magazine, which is typically where the witness windows are located. This orientation is crucial for proper feeding.

Is installing MagGuts on a Sig P365 XL magazine difficult?

The installation can be challenging, particularly when attaching the base plate. The MagGuts spring has significant tension, which can make it difficult to compress and secure the base plate. Patience and firm pressure are often required.

What is the final capacity of a Sig P365 XL magazine after installing MagGuts?

After successfully installing the MagGuts +2 extension, a standard 12-round Sig Sauer P365 XL 9mm magazine will be able to hold a total of 14 rounds of ammunition.
