Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Tessah Booth choose the SIG P365X over the P365 or P365XL for her EDC?

Tessah chose the P365X primarily because it comes optics-ready from the factory, saving the cost and wait time of milling a standard P365. She also found the P365X offered a better balance of size and features for her specific needs compared to the larger P365XL.

What were Tessah Booth's previous EDC firearms before the SIG P365X?

Tessah's previous EDC firearms were the Glock 42, which she found too small in capacity and lacking optic compatibility, and the Glock 48, which she found difficult to conceal effectively due to its proportions on her smaller frame.

How does the SIG P365X compare in cost to a milled P365 or a P365XL?

When factoring in necessary accessories like grip modules and magazines, the P365X is cost-competitive with a milled standard P365 and generally cheaper than a P365XL setup, making it an attractive option.

What are the benefits of the SIG P365X's modularity for concealed carry?

The P365X's modularity allows users to swap grip modules. Tessah uses the standard P365 grip for deeper concealment and the X-series grip for a better draw during standard carry, optimizing the pistol for different situations.
