The Best Compensator for the Sig P365 Line: Why True-Lock Stands Out
The Sig P365 family—including models like the P365, XL, X, XMACRO, and SAS—has become a go-to platform for everyday carry, and for good reason. It’s modular, compact, and surprisingly capable. But as with most micro-compacts, managing recoil and muzzle rise can be tough. The True Precision True-Lock Compensator was designed to solve that, offering impressive recoil control, secure mounting, and easy removal—all while being compatible with any P365 that accepts a threaded barrel. Even factory comped models like the XMACRO COMP or Spectre Comp can be converted by swapping to a standard slide and threaded barrel setup.
True Precision’s True-Lock System: Built for Control
What sets the True-Lock Compensator apart is its integrated locking block system, which eliminates the need for thread-locking compounds or set screws. Unlike traditional comps that risk damaging threads or working loose over time, the True-Lock secures itself with a threaded internal block, protecting your barrel while staying firmly in place. It’s also easy to remove and reinstall—perfect for cleaning or switching setups.
The True-Lock is available in two models to suit your shooting needs:
-
The True-Lock offers reliable, balanced performance for a wide range of ammo.
-
The Ultimate version, with its 10-to-1 porting ratio, delivers maximum recoil control, especially when paired with a DPM recoil spring tuning kit.

True-Lock vs. Micro Compensators
True Precision also offers S-Type and Y-Type Micro Compensators, compact options ideal for those wanting a low-profile addition to their carry gun. While they offer solid performance, the Micro Comps are designed to prioritize size and concealability over aggressive porting. They install without a set screw—just like the True-Lock—and are easy to remove or swap.
Where the True-Lock stands out is in its recoil reduction and enhanced stability. It’s larger, more aggressively ported, and better suited for shooters who want faster follow-up shots and maximum control without sacrificing durability
Compatibility Across the P365 Line
As long as your Sig P365 accepts a threaded barrel, the True-Lock will fit. That includes: P365, P365 XL, P365 X, P365 XMACRO, P365 SAS (when converted with a compatible slide and barrel), and P365-FUSE
For factory-comped models like the XMACRO COMP or AXG Legion, you can still use the True-Lock by replacing the factory slide and barrel with standard, threaded components.

Built to Work With Your Setup
The True-Lock Compensator pairs best with:
-
True Precision threaded barrels for the P365 family, designed for tight tolerances, accuracy, and consistent function
-
A DPM recoil spring tuning kit, especially recommended with the Ultimate model for fine-tuned performance
-
Optional: True Precision slides, if you're building out a complete top end with optic-ready features
Whether you’re setting up a defensive carry gun or a range-ready performer, True Precision parts are engineered to work together, delivering smoother operation and a cleaner shooting experience.
