The Sig P365 XMACRO lineup builds on the success of the original P365 by offering a larger, more shootable platform while maintaining concealability and capacity. These models feature full-size grips, optic-ready slides, and increased magazine capacity, making them a popular choice for those who want the firepower of a larger pistol with the ergonomics of a compact design.

Among the XMACRO models, the biggest decision is choosing between the standard XMACRO and the XMACRO COMP. While both offer high-capacity magazines and modularity, they differ in how they manage recoil, barrel compatibility, and slide design. This guide breaks down the key differences to help you choose the right model and shows how True Precision upgrades can take your XMACRO to the next level.

While both the P365 XMACRO and XMACRO COMP share the same grip module and 17-round magazines, there are critical differences between them.

Size & Weight

The XMACRO and XMACRO COMP have nearly identical dimensions, making them both excellent choices for those looking for a slim, high-capacity pistol that remains easy to conceal. However, the XMACRO COMP features a factory-compensated slide, which slightly changes the way the gun handles by redirecting gases upward to reduce muzzle rise.

Compensator vs. No Compensator

The most noticeable difference is the built-in compensator on the XMACRO COMP. This integrated porting reduces recoil and muzzle flip, making follow-up shots faster and smoother. While this can be a significant advantage for competition shooting or fast-paced defensive scenarios, some shooters may prefer the standard XMACRO, which allows for more customization with muzzle devices.

Slide & Barrel Compatibility

One major limitation of the XMACRO COMP is that its factory-compensated slide is not compatible with threaded or extended barrels. The slide geometry prevents a threaded barrel from fitting properly, which means those looking to use a suppressor or compensator must switch to a non-compensated slide and an XL 3.7" threaded barrel.

For those keeping the compensated slide, the only barrel option available is the standard 3.1" non-threaded barrel. This makes the XMACRO COMP a great option for those who want built-in recoil management but limits those who prefer external compensators or suppressors.

Capacity & Grip Design

Both models feature the same grip module and 17-round magazines, ensuring a full-size feel with high-capacity firepower. Whether you choose the XMACRO or XMACRO COMP, the grip remains modular, allowing for customization with True Precision’s hand-stippled and laser-etched grip modules for improved ergonomics and control.

The XMACRO lineup has multiple variations, each with small but important differences in features, slide design, and performance.

P365 XMACRO COMP Standard

The base model of the XMACRO COMP features the factory-compensated slide, an optic-ready cut, and the standard 17-round magazine setup. This is the model most shooters are familiar with when considering the XMACRO COMP.

P365 XMACRO TACOPS

The TACOPS variant removes the factory-compensated slide and replaces it with a full-length, making it more compatible with muzzle devices like suppressors and threaded barrels. It also adds extended controls, including an improved slide release and flared magwell for better handling.

P365 XMACRO COMP AXG Legion

The AXG Legion variant sports the compensated slide and swaps the standard polymer frame for an aluminum grip module, increasing weight and stability. This makes it the heaviest and most stable version of the XMACRO COMP lineup, reducing felt recoil even further.

Regardless of whether you choose the P365 XMACRO or XMACRO COMP, True Precision offers high-performance upgrades to improve accuracy, recoil management, and customization.

• Barrels – True Precision offers threaded and non-threaded barrels for non-compensated models. If using a compensated slide, the only compatible option is the standard 3.1" non-threaded barrel. To use a threaded barrel, shooters must switch to a non-comped slide and use an XL/XMacro 3.7”+ barrel.
• Slides – Axiom and Duty slides provide improved grip, weight reduction, and optic-ready design, allowing for better customization and compatibility with red dots.
• True-Lock Compensator – The perfect upgrade for non-compensated XMACRO models, reducing recoil and improving control.
• True Flat Trigger – Billet-machined for a cleaner break and smoother pull, improving accuracy and shot consistency. This trigger will fit all variations.
• Grip Modules – Hand-stippled and laser-etched for enhanced grip, comfort, and customization, making it easier to control under rapid fire.

The Sig P365 XMACRO and XMACRO COMP offer shooters a high-capacity, compact pistol with exceptional performance. The XMACRO COMP’s built-in compensator provides recoil reduction, while the standard XMACRO allows for greater customization with threaded barrels and external muzzle devices.

For those wanting to optimize their XMACRO, True Precision upgrades provide enhanced barrels, slides, triggers, and grip modules to improve performance, comfort, and accuracy. Whether you prefer the compensated model for its factory porting or the non-compensated version for greater versatility, True Precision offers the highest quality upgrades to take your Sig P365 XMACRO to the next level.
