The SIG P365 series of pistols has given SIG SAUER quite a foothold in the concealed carry gun market.
This subcompact pistol has been wildly successful in the commercial market and has even been adopted as a backup gun by some police departments.
So what does it take to make one of the most successful carry guns even better? 3 things. A match barrel, compensator, and Tritium night sights.
3 Essential P365 Upgrades To Start With
P365 Barrel
Faxon creates some incredibly unique and aesthetically beautiful barrels for the SIG P365 and P365 XL.
Available with a muzzle thread of ½-28 TPI, which is the universal standard for 9mm muzzle threading. The PVD finish results in one of the most durable and long-lasting barrels you’ll ever shoot with.
Faxon uses stress-relieved 416-R stainless steel with an 11-degree target crown for an exact match for the SIG P365 and P365 XL.
This level of precision from Faxon allows me to simply remove the OEM barrel and drop the Faxon match-grade barrel with no gunsmithing needed!
SIG P365 Comp
The EXOS Compensator is designed to work flawlessly with the SIG Sauer P365 pistols.
The uniquely angled front port single chamber design does an amazing job at reducing the vertical climb of the muzzle as well as reducing the horizontal recoil arc.
The EXOS is made of high-quality 6061 aluminum and coated with a black anodized finish to compliment your specific SIG P365 configuration.
Works great with stock springs so no need to change anything, fits on 1/2-28 threaded barrels for the P365 and P365XL models.
SIG P365 Sights
Although the SIG P365 comes with its X-RAY3 Day/Night sights, some just aren’t happy with them and want to upgrade to something different.
The SIG P365 uses a SIG #6 front sight and a #8 rear sight. You’ll need to know that when shopping for aftermarket sights.
That said, Night Fision makes some phenomenal Tritium sights for the SIG P365 series of pistols.
In addition to the above upgrades, you’re gonna need a quality holster to safely and comfortably conceal your SIG P365.
What is the best holster for the SIG P365? We recommend the new Safariland Schema if you’re not running a threaded barrel or comp. It’s compatible with both the P365 and P365 XL.
If you are running a threaded barrel with a comp, then take a look at the Rounded Gear IWB holster for the P365 and P365 XL.
Safariland Schema
The new Safariland Schema is new to the market for sub-compact pistols such as the SIG Sauer P365.
Not only is the minimalist design perfectly executed, but you can adjust the holster’s ride height, allowing you to conceal carry in any clothing.
In the summer months keep your SIG P365 concealed deeper when wearing board shorts and a t-shirt.
As the weather gets cooler and you begin layering clothing, adjusting the ride height back to its highest setting allows you to clear more garments and still get a solid grip on the gun.
Rounded Gear SIG P365 IWB Holster
If you’re running the P365 with a comp such as the Faxon EXOS, you’ll want an open-faced holster to accommodate the additional length. For that, we recommend Rounded by Concealment Express.
Rounded manufactures a full line of concealment holsters for the SIG P365 and P365 XL.
