Magguts Spring Kit to increase your mag load for 12 to 14 without adding any grip length - I swear by mine - other than that ive done all the above and its ALMOST as good as my Sig P320 X-Compact RXP - with WC Grip - Tungsten weights and Gaspedal.
Oh yea you might consider the Tactical.Dev Picatinny rail...
Sounds like you got everything. I'd consider a short grip module as well and at least one 10 round flush magazine. With that configuration the XL isn't a horrible pocket option if you have the right pocket holster and the right pair of pants/shorts.
My XL has an aftermarket trigger shoe that has a flat face, vs the rounded face of the OEM straight trigger. But other than that that's the limit of any modifications I was willing to do with my XL.
I've since ripped the grip tape off the palm swells. I find a new way to get more traction out of the tiny things every couple of weeks. It took quite a bit of work to gain confidence with the platform personally with how small they are in my hands. The experience has made me much more efficient with a handgun though.
It's a striker fired gun. The holster is the safety, and thus I disengage the safety once it's securely in the holster, unless it's my P365 in a pocket holster, in which case I leave it engaged. It's not like a short 2lb SA trigger stroke and a 2.5lb 1911 where it's cocked and locked at all times while in the holster. . It's a sub 2lb gun with a 4-5lb trigger pull of a longer length. The weight of the gun alone wouldn't be enough to make it go off if something got caught in the trigger guard. It would take a deliberate action of using just a little bit of muscle to try to overcome resistance.
Holstering is nothing that ever needs to be done fast. Fast drawstroke? Yes. Fast re-holster? Dumb. Take your time.. ensure your holster is clear of obstructions, watch it go in. If you meet resistance don't try to force it. The fight is over at this point, there's no need to rush the holstering process and risk letting a round loose that you didn't intend. If the gun is in my hand and I'm not shooting or preparing to shoot (as in I'm aiming the thing at something), index finger goes down the slide. Not in or on the trigger guard. Down the slide. Every single time. It's habitual at this point. By the time I have my sights on target I've already taken up the slack of the trigger to the wall, but in any other circumstance and especially as it's going in or coming out of the holster and not yet out in front of me I'm indexing the slide.
My safety is there when I'm chambering a round or extracting an unspent round, and it's there if I have the gun out of my holster for any reason other than to shoot. I still practice good trigger discipline. I still holster the same way I would my Glock 19. It's just an added layer of prevention until I get it into my holster, or it's there if I want to use one of my many pocket holsters that aren't quite as secure as the Kydex options i have for my belt.
But you do you. My manual safeties don't get in my way one bit. I'm not trying to convince you to install one or carry AIWB, but there's a reason I prefer Kydex on the belt, and there's a method to my madness.
I swapped out my Romeo Zero with a 407k x2. I really like it so far. I tried the Wilson Combat module but returned it. It created a hot spot near my left thumb (left handed shooter). I also felt the stippling was very aggressive for my taste. The XL is a sweet shooter. You will enjoy it.
