- @ZEVTechVids worked their magic on the @sigsauerinc P365XL and the result is this Zev Technologies Z365XL Octane. What do you think of it? Do you think it is worth $1,200?
In this first impressions video and thanks to my friends @RangeUSAOfficial we take a look at this interesting pistol. Thank you for stopping by and God Bless.
CZcams: this pistol is 100% factory stock and it has not been modified in any way by me during the filming of this video.

Although Zev does great work, imo, I think they're way overpriced especially considering there's no work done on the lower half. I rather get my hands on the new Sig Spectre models. 👍
I completely agree. Thank you very much for watching!
The slide on the spectre models has a ugly X cut on the top..
The slide now move faster and smooth avoiding recoil every shoot. It is a big difference when you have to shoot more that 20 yards.
The slide is the only thing of importance sinceyou can still have your rear iron sight with a red dot... still overpriced at $441 but I need it lol
@TheShotgunMessenger nice! I'll have to take a look. Thanks bud 👍
Why is everyone saying it’s over priced? A Glock 19 done by Agency would be 2k Sure with a stipple job but more than $1,200
Thats what I was thinking. Here your paying the cost of the sig xl. Additionally, a zev slide and barrel and sights put together. Me personally. If I were to go this route. I would buy those parts separately so I could have the stock upper to sell and get my money back. They are probably at this time. The same amount of money that it would cost to buy the zev parts for lol. People pay it because they either can't find the parts other places and because most sig parts can just be shipped to them.
I in fact did buy one. It had the custom Zev grip module. Much more grippy than the stock. I also took out the trigger and put it in armory craft. I didn’t really like it that much as it hits the wall and 90° and breaks well beyond that. Two different from other triggers for me. I put in an M CARBO kit and trigger and now it’s pretty tight. But it still has the typical creep. Just shorter.
What you’re really buying is a new slide and a new barrel and a custom stippled plastic grip.
I appreciate your honest and insightful video.
You’re very welcome. Thank you for stopping by!
Another great review video, on another channel I saw some range footage, apparently the participants were very impressed with the way it handled, personally I would probably purchase the firearm.
Mine was simply a first impressions table-top look at the pistol. I didn’t get to shoot it because it’s not mine. However, everything below the slide is 100% factory stock from Sig Sauer. So unless I’m missing something, I don’t know how it would be a different shooting experience from a regular P365xl. Thank you very much for watching and for your kind words. I appreciate it.
Thank you MDpolo, you do great work, show us the finest guns, and offer thorough, thoughtful reviews. I’m retired and pretty much paycheck to paycheck so I can only afford about six new guns a year, and your reviews help me decide. (I have no Glocks and never will because of my wife’s bias against) Best Regards sir, looking forward to what’s next.
Thank you very much for your kind words and for watching. I appreciate it.
Your wife is a keeper for sure!
She sure is. Thank you for watching!
Really nice firearm. I've seen other Zev firearms, it was a matter of time before they went to Sig Sauer firearms. No I wouldn't pay that price.
I agree with you. As always, thanks for watching!
Looks nice, but there's no way I would spend that much for one of these.
Decided to go with the sigP365 xl with the Romeo red dot factory installed for $770, even though the Zev Octane was a beautiful gun, couldn’t substantiate the $1199
Good choice. Thank you very much for watching.
The slide now move faster and smooth avoiding recoil every shoot, better trigger, not sure. It is a big difference when you have to shoot more that 20 yards. So... it is better than the P365 XL Smoother and faster.
I looked at Zev uppers and for 499.99 bare bones it was a no-go. I've been using True Precision barrels for a while now and True Precision recently started selling their Axiom slide pre-assembled with Sigs parts kits installed. Ordered the Mystic Grey PVD barrel and slide which is reminiscent of the Zev but slightly more angular than the Zev. The slide is riding on an X-Macro lower and is analogous to the recently released X-Macro Tacops - sans the magwell. Although the slide is 100 dollars more than Sig's new XL ( per Sig, this is the TacOps slide) slide, combined it is still far less expensive than the Zev Z365XL shown above.
Thank you very much for the information and for taking the time to stop by.
Looks great, performance is what you should pay for.
I completely agree. Thank you for watching.
Looks like an upper with some nice features on a stock lower. Considering what it would cost to buy a Zev slide, barrel and sights, on top of the cost of a 365XL, the $1,199 price is reasonable. I like that the Zev slide retains the rear sight with an optic, while the stock 365XL doesn't. Add an Armory Craft trigger, Hogue HandAll grip sleeve, and Tactical Development mag base plates, and it would be a decent pistol.
But to answer the question - no, I wouldn't buy one, but I would consider a whole new upper to put on my current 365XL.
Thank you very much as always for sharing your insight. Much appreciated!
Yes for price, if trigger work has been done. By you demo it has. Beautiful carry gun. Prob stuff inside on rails also!
The only part of this pistol that has Zev is the slide. Everything else is stock Sig.
@@MDpolo Barrel is Zev also.
I just bought one. I was looking for a regular p365 but came across this and for only $899, why not 🤷🏻♂️.
I picked one of these up for $665 new about a month ago.
I spent the money for it a slapped an extended mag release, 507K X2, 15 rd mag, tactical development 15 rd mag cover/base plate on it.
Sweet set up. Thank you for sharing.
Same here. Sigs are already handsome pistols! After adding the 407K, 2-15rd mags + Tactical Development base plates for the 15 and 12 round mags I was in the $1200 neighborhood. 😁
@@davidhudson2527 Ya for sure they’re already nice out the box stock the Zev Tech touch is just another added touch to the gun that really turns heads especially once everything is on it. Definitely doing more to it later on next up is a Teir 1 IWB holster.
Haha, I have one I bought it for $950 not $1200 after pricing the standard P365 and the ZEV upper and barrel it was cheaper to just buy it and no work involved. I have to say it's an amazing accurate little pistol. I have a P365XL and it's nowhere near the shooter the ZEV is, so is it worth the money, YES!! I am doing some aftermarket upgrades to it to make it even better. Also bought a Car Jacker cross draw holster from Andrew Custom Holsters
Sounds like a nice set up you have! Thank you very much for stopping by.
No I wouldn't spend that much. That was an excellent review
Thank you very much for your kind words and for watching. I appreciate it.
if zev is an american company i would pay that (but i already have one ). does it come with 3 mags and a holster ? my p365 in fde came with extras and i only paid a little extra for those items those factors kinda need to be known also. great video Dave.
Thank you very much for your kind words and for watching. I appreciate it.
That would be really cool with the Wilson combat grip module; or would that even work?
Yes, it would work for sure. Thank you for watching!
To each his own but the magic needs to be on that trigger to get the most out of any slide/barrel for most shooters. Pass for me at that price. 900 maybe.....
I agree with you and that’s where this pistol does not shine. They seem to have done nothing to the trigger. If someone knows different, please let me know but it feels like a stock XL trigger. Thank you very much for watching!
There's no way that I would pay double for the same thing with slight cosmetic differences.
I carry a P365XL daily, and I have shot a P365 with some ZEV aftermarket parts and honestly I think Sig has really shown what they can do when it comes to producing a high quality compact handgun because other than maybe aesthetically I didn’t notice much of a difference, the trigger pull was reduced but I’m pretty sure that wasn’t a part from zev, it was another brand. Do no not worth it in my opinion. I’ll agree that ZEV makes some serious improvements to a G19 but Sig doesn’t need any help.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for watching. I appreciate it.
Zev upper and should modify to a Wilson Combat lower!
I was able to get a Zev XL Octane slide from Midway for 199.00 I was able to build my own with with Sig parts both new and from an existing 365 slide I had laying around for a pretty good price....that said, I would not pay the 400.00 regular price for the slide. There're are nicer options for less.
I agree with you. Thank you very much for stopping by.
Does it really work with the rmrcc??
That’s what I was told. I don’t have that particular red dot so I cannot speak from experience. Thank you very much for watching.
This is part of the new Sig Sauer Cash Cow, the custom shop AGX, ZEV etcetera. The plan is to suck you into owning the 365, the 365x the 365zev, and all the 320 varieties…and on it goes. I’m not being cynical here because I own most of the Sig Legions. I own only Sig Sauers, 1911s, and one N frame S&W 44 magnum, which is really just a fun range hand cannon. It’s Sig Sauer’s business plan to get more guns into people’s hands through variants and they can’t be faulted for that. Personally I have no interest. I already bring 10 guns to the range once a week, one of which is my p365 carry gun, and Which I don’t enjoy shooting because it’s snappy compared to say the p220 or the Springfield TRP. I have to imagine that Phil Strater has a good laugh every time he introduces a new firearm and tells us how delightful it is. So this 365 receives a yawn, and meh. I’m on my way to pick up a new Springfield 1911 Ronan .45.
You are so right. I have thought about that regarding Phil. Thanks again for watching.
Agreed. They should also clear their back log before coming up with new lines. It’s starting to turn me off to the brand. Can’t even get parts for the existing lines.
Can you bring up a very good point. Thank you for watching!
I’m supposed to trade a mp15 2.0 for one with a holoson and light with it
Way over priced. No way. Great video, thanks.
Thank you very much for your kind words and for watching. I appreciate it.
I wrote to ZEV and asked them, but they don't know what machines their slides are machined on = THEY DON'T DO THE WORK. THEY DON'T WORK "ANY MAGIC."
I just want the slide
Midway had em a month or so ago for 199.00. I bought it on a whim otherwise 400.00 is to much...
Very nice looking pistol, but no. I would not pay that price for it. I actually have the regular P365 which I like better than the P365XL. Thanks for another great presentation!
Thank you for your kind words and for watching. I appreciate it.
@@MDpolo You're welcome. My pleasure.
FWIW, i just purchased a zev P365XL for $899.99.
Congratulations. That’s a very good price. Thank you very much for watching!
For that price you should also get the slide that comes with the gun from SIG instead of letting ZEV keep it.
A very good point! Thank you for watching.
Well, its June of 2022. Sad to say that XL lower looks sort of wimpy by today's standards. Put a Wilson Combat grip module on it and an XL Tactical baseplate contoured to match the beefier grip module and an XL Tactical pic rail adapter to add a picatinny rail to the 365XL and you've got a lower that starts to match up to that ZEV Octane upper. TBO the ZEV is pretty but instead of spending another 400 dollars i put a real 'battleworn' finish on my original 365XL slide - not a cerakote imitation but the 'almost' real thing. The side bevels on the muzzle, serrations, rear night sight housing and rear of the slide had already picked up some notable wear so I just embellished on it. Amazing what you can do with some scotchbrite, steel wool and emery paper to a slide alredy starting to show 'character'. LOL the upper now looks like it has a couple decades of wear on it instead of just 3 years. The beauty now is that the more beat-up it gets, the better(IMO) and more authentic it looks.
Sounds pretty awesome. I would love to see a photo of it. Thank you so much for stopping by!
I won this gun in a raffle so if I ever had to sell it I'm not mad at the price lol
True that. Congratulations and thank you very much for watching.
No way
A safety check by pulling the trigger? Waitwhat?
I just spent that much on the p365xl Spectre. Probably not worth it.
I’m good. I paid 830.00 and got a RomeoZero with it.
That’s a fair deal. Thank you for watching.
i have one ..and no i will not go to ZEV ..who is she and where is she?
Shoot original sights on P365X or XL are much better.
hell no I won't pay that rediculous price for that Zev name on it. I'll just get 2 XL's
Shoot. That's cheaper than you could get my xl for with all I'm putting into it. My $500 gun is worth $1500 after all I've done.
Not me
I would not pay that much for that gun.
Wow $1200. It’s a pretty gun. But no
No, no I would not pay that.
Not worth it. Just buy 2 regular p65xl.
no
$600 worth of upgrades..... what a joke.
zev is way over priced. all of their stuff... nothing they make is worth it but people clearly buy it haha. mostly new gun owners who like "bling"
I expected more from this offering. Thank you very much for watching.
Just like the Zev xcompact...all that money and no grip work...what a ripoff....
Thank you for watching.
No sweat..just my opinion
not worth the $$$$$
Overpriced
