@PA Boxcall &
@coppertop004 - have either of you carried both the FUSE & The X-Macro in your AIWB as your EDC?

I don't carry on or off duty IWB. I've never been comfortable carrying that way. As far as appendix carry, my body is not designed for such and maintain the ability to sit down.

Tried IWB many times but just didn't like it. Always fidgety with the IWB, worried that it was going to flop out. I carry OWB just behind the right hip, about four o'clock when in pants. In shorts, I'll drop the standard P365 in a pocket holster.

No, it's not.

For example, the extractor broke in half on my P365x after 100 rounds, I would never worry about that happening with a P228/P226 or a Glock.

The 365 is a great carry gun but it isn't a replacement for an actual compact or full-size service pistol.

wait, so a part broke on one gun instead of another and that negates its ability to replace a compact or full size?

 

[Duoglide1]

I carry both an XL and a Fuse. I like the combo. Always IWB and sometimes AIWB depending on the situation. If I’m in the motor home driving it’s aiwb. I have a WC grip module on the XL and at times I pull the slide and put it on the Fuse model to use it as a Macro. Other times I run them the way they came. About 4000 rounds thru the two and no issues. YMMV.

@RetropM - while I think we'd all agree with you have you ever tried carrying a full size pistol in your appendix down your pants?

Yep, and again, I am NOT anti-365, I think it's a great platform. I'm sure the replacement part in mine will be just fine and I will carry it when a smaller weapon is necessary.

That said, I simply don't believe that the larger versions are a good choice to replace a true compact and/or full-size sidearm due to various reasons, including durability. For what it's worth, while the P365x is issued to me, I also had a broken striker in a personal P365 that I purchased early on, and later sold. SIG fixed it and that is no longer an issue, but these problems inform my opinion.

Clearly some disagree, and that's okay.

There is no "one size fits all" handgun. Whether it is for personal carry, off-duty carry or duty carry we all have our likes and dislikes. I can see being hesitant on carrying a firearm if something broke. To this day, I will not buy a Kahr handgun based on a very bad experience with durability and customer service.

I've never worked for an agency that issued sidearms and always had the ability to choose the weapon of my choice. Started with a Sig P220, carried a Glock for a bit, then a Sig P220 and gave the P320 a spin around the block. Before I retired, a P365XL was my duty sidearm. I enjoyed the smaller and lighter footprint the XL offered and had no issues qualifying with it or running the combat courses that accompanied qualification. Still carrying the XL as I wind down my retirement job with the local prosecutor's office and would put it up against my old P320 any day.

Now the classic Sigs I own (P220 and P229) have sentimental value and, as I've said before, I prefer the classic design. If Sig ever released a DA/SA version of the P365 or anything close, that's what I would have on my belt. But for now, very pleased with the P365 ecosystem.

All this talk makes me want to pick up a FUSE now.

@Duoglide1 THANK YOU! - Much appreciate someone who has both - Can you feel any difference between the XL and the fuse in AIWB?
And I too have the WC on my XL - Just sold my P320 X-Compact because it was too big I shoot my XL great - not as great as my USPSA competition gun but hey it's half the size - that's why I ask - Do you feel more confident shooting the FUSE than you do your XL? or you jut like em both... I will keep my XL ultimately but either gonna get the X-Macro which is not much different than my XL or the FUSE which I feel id be more confident with, just on the fence...

@Duoglide1 - Any insight/ guidance would be greatly appreciated

My XL is below:

 

[Ranjen617]

Sounds like you are set for an edc pistol with your 365XL. Have you considered a Sig P229 in 9mm to replace those 320s?

In my rotation are a Security Six, P229 and now my new P365 X Macro. The P229 printed and the P365 doesn't.

I'm 5'9, 160lbs female.

Understood. However, unlike the OP, you have other pistols that are not micro 9mm. The P229 is an excellent choice for a do everything handgun and has a proven track record.

I believe micros are excellent for edc but do not have the same proven history as other duty ready handguns, like your P229.

Again, the OP asked about a choice between the X-Macro and the Fuse, for EDC. The p365 has a proven track record. You're trolling at this point and you know it.

The p229 is a very good pistol, but your opinion of it- in this thread- is irrelevant to the OP's specific question about a choice between the X-Macro and the Fuse.

I’m certain I was replying to another’s members post, and AGAIN you intervene. The trolling is coming from you.

It's clear you're being intentionally obstinate... Again, your first post in this thread ignored the OP's specific question about an AIWB EDC choice between the X-Macro and the Fuse... That's where your trolling started in this thread. Most of us love the p22x classic pistols and own some, but that's not relevant in this thread.

You have a very strong point there. The jury is still ongoing on the 365. A few more years and we will have to come back after a few more years and hopefully the 365 proves to be a micro with a longer track record. Yes, the 229 is a true workhorse like my S6.

Hey, SIG, talk about community and family.
I'm contacting you for your help, support, and guidance.
I'm a long-term SIG owner:

I recently sold my P320 Max competition gun - Also...
I - Recently sold my P320 X-Compact.

(Side Note: I used My Sig P320 X-Compact - as A daily carry gun, ALTERNATE - Because I felt more confident shooting it than my normal EDC which is my Sig P365XL (Carrying AIWB) - But of course the P320 X-Compact is larger and noticeably less comfortable in EVERY WAY!

- And just for Reference, I am 5'6 - 160 pounds,
with an athletic build.
- The 365XL - disappears on me entirely - It's almost effortless to conceal and I can wear it for 24 hours and fall asleep with it and forget I'm even carrying it...

SO - MY REAL QUESTION IS: (carrying AIWB)
Am also planning to purchase the T1C APX holster for whichever I decide to buy!

- I am deciding between purchasing the
SIG 365 MACRO
OR
the NEW SIG FUSE.

Does anyone here own BOTH?

Any help, guidance support would be greatly appreciated -
your likes, your dislikes - would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance fam!

I think you would be happy with Macro version.

I got the Fuse. I only have one gun with a barrel shorter than 4” its a P2000SK LEM, and I would trust my life with it when shorty is really necessary. In fact I conceal more comfortable my 1911 4.25” than wife’s P365. Long barrel is just better balance, higher velocity, better sights, and for most guns more reliable.

 

[tjpatriot]

I would advise you to go to handgunhero.com and see the difference in size and weights to make your own decision.

 

[Phoenix.]

From a carry standpoint, the Macro may be preferred if your not going to install an optic. The Fuse sights are more for target shooting or daytime competition. The Macro has the Xray-3 Day/Night sights. The fuse has a fiber optic front sight (nice during day, nil at night) and a plain black rear sight which can’t be seen in dark/dim environment or POA is dark. The all black rear sight makes sight alignment extremely difficult.

The Fuse fits hand comfortably, shoots great, and is very accurate. Big drawback is the sights. Not sure why Sig changed the sights - poor choice. (I painted zero alignment line on rear sight which made it much better.) [see photo below]

(I won Fuse in a raffle. Would not have bought, otherwise.)

 

[tjpatriot]

A little dab of glow in the dark paint. White. Hit it quick with your flashlight when you pull it out to see what went bump in the night. Even worked on my ridiculous Kel Tek P3AT (non) sights

Works in concept but not something I would want to have to remember to do under stress.

I’m going to inquire to Sig as to why they didn’t stick with the Xray3 sights, so the gun would have the same day and night versatility as the other 365’s. (Guessing they figured folks would install an optic, or it’s focus demographic is target shooters.)

 

[tjpatriot]

They are nice
