If I may add one more point of clarification to this already excellent thread, while the slides are interchangeable between the 9 mm and the 380 versions, it definitely must be done as an assembly, since the barrels are completely different. The 380 barrel is almost paper thin as compared to the 9 mm barrel, so while the ID may be roughly the same, the OD is completely different. The recoil rod/ spring assembly is also completely different between the two.
 
I am about to venture into the modification world for my 365. I am very happy to have found this thread. GREAT info.
Same here... keep us posted as I am in learning/sponge mode. Bought the wife the 380 Rose and myself the Macro comp and the Spectre Comp. I have one DPM recoil kit and one True Precision barrel arriving tomorrow. Thinking of upgrading one of the guns so I can notice the changes and then decide if if there is a better route for the 2nd build. Do you have any plans already in play?
 
Sig marketing doesn't seem to have any problem changing/adding designations when releasing new models which makes tracking what is what complicated.

Currently... there are 4 grips:
  • standard - proprietary rail, 10 rd flush mags
  • X - proprietary rail, 12 rd flush mags
  • Macro - 1913 rail, 17rd flush-ish mags
  • AXG Legion - aluminum, g10 scales, 1913 rail, 17rd mags
    • slight difference in 1913 rail affects XMacro holster compatibility
and 2 barrel lengths:
  • 3.1"
  • 3.7"
and 4 slides (more if you count the optic plate variations):
  • original ('short'): takes 3.1" barrel and uses a double spring RSA
    • revised for the 365X to include an optic plate
    • SAS slide is ported and has different slide release and sights
  • L ('long'): takes 3.7" barrel and uses a single spring RSA
    • original L slide has the rear sight included in the optic plate
      • usually these are marked 'XL'
    • revised L slide has the rear sight separate from the optic plate
  • Spectre/Macro Comp: 3.1" barrel in 3.7" slide with integral comp using the single spring RSA, optic ready
    • 'comp' slides have suppressor height sights (usually)
    • 'comp' slides are dimensionally identical to the L slide and fit the same holsters
  • 380: lightened 3.1" slide using a 380-specific barrel and double spring RSA, optic ready
The various released models mix and match the slides and grips:
  • 365: standard grip and 3.1" slide/barrel
  • 365 SAS: standard grip and 3.1" slide/barrel (with special porting, controls and sights)
  • 365 XL: X grip and 3.7" barrel and one of the 3.7" optic-ready L slides
  • 365 X: X grip and 3.1" barrel and the 3.1" optic-ready slide
  • 365 XL Spectre: X grip and 3.7" L slide
    • slide has cosmetic differences: serrations, cut outs, distressed finish
  • 365 XL SpectreComp: X grip and 3.7" comp'ed slide
    • cosmetics: gold TiN controls, 'Sig Custom Works' engraved slide
    • laser stippled grip
  • 365-380: standard grip with 380 barrel and slide
  • 365 XMacro(Comp): macro grip and 3.7" comp'ed slide
    • released as the XMacro but called XMacroComp after the TacOps was released
  • 365 XMacro TacOps: macro grip and 3.7" non-comp L slide
  • 365 AXG Legion: AXG grip and 3.7" comp slide
So, the model decoder (up to this point) is:
  • 'X' designates 12rd grip, flat trigger and optic ready slide
  • 'L' designates the 3.7" barrel and slide
  • 'Macro' designates the 17rd grip module
  • 'Comp' designates the 3.1" barrel and optic ready integral comp slide
  • 'MS' in the SKU indicates a factory installed manual safety
  • 'SAS' (Sig Anti Snag) has a unique fibre optic sight, minimized controls and a ported barrel/slide
    • the ported barrel was phased out relatively quickly
  • 'Rose' designates rose-colored TiN controls and packaging applied to regular models
  • 'TacOps' package includes extra mags (more than the standard 2)
  • 'TacPac' includes extra mags and a holster
  • 'AXG Legion' uses an aluminum grip module with Legion graphics, challenge coin
Magazines
  • capacities
    • 10 rd (9mm or .380)

  • 365-380 mag differences
    • marked with '.380' instead of '9mm'
    • have a plastic spacer inside the spring coils
    • have slightly different feed lips
    • 9mm mags can be used with 365-380s
      • not supported by Sig but those who have tried reported success
    • .380 mags can be used for 9mm if the plastic spacer in the spring coil is removed
      • again, not supported but works
+2 kits (flat spring + baseplate) are available for the 10, 12 and 15 rd mag bodies:​
MagGuts +2 kits (works with 9mm and .380 mag bodies)​

Generally speaking
  • 365 FCUs may be fitted with the optional manual safety
    • the FCU requires a grip module with safety cutouts if the safety is installed
    • the required safety cutouts are marked on Sig grip modules
      • jigs are also available
    • XMacro grips, being slightly wider, may need additional relief for the safety levers
  • 365 FCUs fit any grip module
    • the FCU is available separately, as a standalone component, in gold TiN or plain black (nitride, not TiN)
  • 365 slides are interchangeable
    • meaning a complete slide assembly will work on any FCU/grip
      • for example taking the 365X slide and using it on a XMacro grip+FCU
    • not all barrels are compatible with all slides
      • 365-380 3.1" barrel only works in the 365-380 slide
      • 3.7" barrel works in the 3.7" non-comp 'L' slide
        • also works in the short slide - like a threaded barrel with no threads
      • 3.1" barrel does not work in the 3.7" non-comp 'L' slide
  • longer mags work in shorter grips
    • spacers are available to fill the gap between base plate and pistol grip
    • base plates are available for (some) shorter mags so they work in longer grips
  • holster compatibility is determined by overall slide length and type of rail
Thanks for the detailed explanation. That really helps.

@alaw2603
peep this post - lots of useful information to give you a better idea of what to pick
 
Yes, longer mags fit in the shorter grips. Most if bought as stand alone will have the plastic spacers.

On another note I had someone tell me the fcu in the legions only fits the legion frame. Lots of mis information out there.

Great review. Very comprehensive.
 
Question: adding optical sights: What's available? My wife and I both EDC with a "standard" P-365 and she may want a red dot.
Below is a list of optical sights to the Shield Reflex Mini Sight/Compact (RMSc) footprint/mounting standard that will fit directly to any P365 optic ready slide.

This list isn't exhaustive; if you are shopping for a sight, check if it mentions "RMSc" footprint, and you should be good to go.

Sig Romeo Zero
Sig Romeo Zero Elite
Sig Romeo X Compact
Holosun 407k/507k
Holosun EPS Carry*
Jpoint
Shield RMSc
Swampfox Sentinel
Springfield Armory Hex Wasp
Vortex Defender CCW
Vector Optics Frenzy

*The Holosun EPS will fit also, but it's more of a double stack optic width, and will overhang a bit on a P365 slide.

I wish I would’ve found this detailed description before I purchased my standard P365! I wanted something smaller than my Canik TP9 SC elite to EDC. Didn’t realize I could’ve purchased the X or the XL and gotten increased mag capacity right out the box. I ended up buying the 12 round mags plus the X frame from Sig also.
