You know you’re in the golden age of carry guns when someone says “glock 19” and “lack of capacity” in the same sentence 😂
Lol true
P365X is damn near perfect...does everything well!
The Macro is my one. My everyday clothes, even in the summer, allow for concealment with no issue. I have several Vertx short and long sleeve shirts that do the trick, wear them everyday, even in the pulpit when I preach.
I carry my Macro probably 98% of the time. You just can’t beat it’s size and capacity. Glad to hear you keep it on you at all times because you just never know anymore.
I try keep the number of guns I own and the number of holsters to a very low number. Muscle memory for one system for me always works best. I carried the Glock 23 10 years ago. Lived abroad for 7 years and now to the Sig 365 Macro. Thanks for this video
You are very welcome and thank you for watching.
I totally get the mentality on this. I am unfortunately picky when it comes to firearms. Have bought and traded way too many. However after multiple firearms and thousands and thousands of rounds through different platforms, I can operate pretty much anything with minimal effort.
Great video thanks for sharing and I just subscribed and I’m trying to figure out a new conceal I’m thinking about the Sig macro myself
Thank you for subscribing, the X Macro is a great pistol and I probably carry it 97-98% of the time. The 365x is more comfortable though
There is the Jx tactical fat guy holster it ride’s lower iwb then your typical kydex holster check them out
Great video! Just subscribed
Thank you
@@gearrunner your welcome
Due to my location, my 70% of the time gun is my p365x. My others are my lcp2, p365, and p320 xcarry. I am planing on grabbing the 365 axg legion macro. If I could only have one it would be my regular 365. Great video and let’s face it, any of the guns on that table are excellent guns.
I believe a Glock 19 size is the smallest fighting pistol I think there is. Smaller frame pistols to me could be problems. With a Glock 19 there is plenary of ammo, plenty of spare parts, plenty of mags, more reliable than most, etc…. I like you carry thr Sig X Macro leaving the 1911. Good videos and of great challenge to thinking what would I do.
My wife carries a P365x that she stole from me! I still miss it 😂 I will definitely be getting another and will probably make mine better than hers with the upgraded FCU lol
Lol, don’t let her shoot it or she will take that one also 😂
@@gearrunner yea I carry the CZ for now, but definitely going back to a P365x ASAP. Hers has the Icarus grip and she doesn’t shoot as much as me so good there, but that grip gets hot after a few mags. Definitely going another route for my purposes. Any suggestions???
@@DanielJohnson-ot8wj Wilson combat grip module. 60 bucks and can’t beat it.
If I could find a hellcat used I'd try it but I wouldn't buy it new out of a distaste for Springfields past actions. I'd go with a 365 variant too, or the 43x.
My EDC, the OG P365 with the safety switch. Sometimes I switch the slide from my XL onto the short grip. The short grip doesn't print at all on me. No one knows I'm carrying, not even a hint unless my shirt rides up. 10+1 with a 12rnd backup mag. Gonna order a few magguts upgrades soon to make it 12+1 and 14 rnd backup.
Yes magguts are super reliable. Not one issue
MR920 for me with a Radian comp, TLR-1 and 507C ACSS. A PSA Dagger could be a great budget choice, $299 out the door.
Nice collection you have. My choice would be my XMacro with the Holosun 407K and TLR7A.
Great video! I sold my 320rxp x compact after I got the macro grip module for my xl. I carry appendix and didn’t trust it with all the rumors going around. Idk if they’re true but I didn’t wanna take that chance lol. The macro is smaller, more comfortable to carry, has a lower bore axis, higher capacity, and I actually shoot it better than I shot the 320.
For warmer months I rotate through my 365x, 43xMOS, and shield plus pc I had milled for a red dot.
I’ve been thinking about selling some of my P320’s as well for the same reason
My p365 x macro is my go to carry. If I need deeper concealment I just throw a Wilson combat xl grip module on it
I agree with the logic here. EDC means every day. I need to be able to conceal it year round. I prefer my Shield Plus because I found the grip on my P365XL’s grip too small.
I carry sig 365 x with mag gut springs giving me 14 rds. I bought two 17 rd mags that come with adapters for the 365 and the 365 x. Thats my set up, 365x 14 rd mags and one in the gun with one 17 rd mag as back up. I have others but as you, this is my favorite. I agree with you on the macro. Just little too big for me. Enjoy watching your video's .
Thank you and I love the Macro and carry it most of the the time but my 365x is more comfortable
MagGuts magazine springs have been entirely reliable feeding my P365XL. The extra two rounds is appreciated.
Could you screw one of those micro comp thread protectors on there and see if you detect and difference in recoil? I’m leaning toward a 365x with threaded barrel and screw on comp myself.
I've been carrying my xmacro more also. However, if I only could carry one EDC, it would be my Agency Arms G45 Sage V2. (nod)
That’s a very nice pistol
I have several SIG P365 models and like them. A lot. But if I could only have ONE EDC pistol, I'd keep my Wilson Combat EDC X9. Absolutely one of the finest pistols I've ever owned. For accuracy, capacity, concealability, and 100% reliability, the WC EDC X9 is a package that can't be beat. And ohhhhhh that trigger. It puts ALL of the striker-fired plastic fantastics to shame.
Hard to argue with your conclusions Gear Runner, at least from my experience. I own the Sig P365 Macro, and the P365XL (w/MagGuts internals). During my Arizona summer, I tend to CCW the XL... but my Cajunized CZ P-01remains my winter carry and my all-time favorite pistol. It's 7# DA and 3.6# SA trigger pulls are buttery smooth and it's short trigger reset is amazing.
I love my P01
X Macro would be mine, out of Glock 19, P320, Hellcat, and Glock 43x.
Yea it’s hard to beat the Macro
But you ain't gotta have only one, so dont lose any sleep over it 😂😂😂
Kidding bub. Thanks for sharing.
Big boy here, and I choose a full size as my ccw. It can be done with a good holster. I carry a shadow systems DR920 or a Glock 17.
How big 'a boy are ya?
For low buget either a Taurus G3/G3C toro.
Mid Range Shield Plus Performance.
I’ll choose the staccato C2 easily 😂. Not even a second thought.
X-Macro is my pick…great review
Great topic! Do you find yourself switching up holster type or carry modes to accommodate what you want or need to carry? I try not to switch up the pistol (work vs edc), but it drives me crazy that I have to switch up carry modes to make it all work.
I usually use the same types of holsters for all my pistols with very few exceptions. I always carry appendix and 99% of the time with a sidecar holster
@@gearrunner 👍
If you carry appendix only, if you get a quality holster, you can easily carry guns with a full length slides. I invested heavily into 2 platforms. Gun glock 43/43x/48Mos. Holsters Tenicor! The velo4 and Sagax Lux2. With these holsters you get no pokes in the junk region! They make them only for top selling guns like Glock and Sig.
If I could only carry one EDC pistol, it would be my Shield Plus 9mm.
I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I have and carry a 2.0 Shield. I think it's a nice looking gun. I'll tell you what I'll never carry. a Sig Striker fire handgun. I'll carry the Sig hammer fire handguns, Sig p229/226. But I will never carry their striker fire handguns on any level. I just do not trust them. It's way too many lawsuits out there. Great video though. And hopefully you won't be part of the class action lawsuit.
I will never carry the Sig P320 but to my knowledge there has been no instance where a P365 has went off like the P320 has been said to
You mention looks on the M&P, I think looks matter more than most people want to admit. If you think your gun looks cool, you'll be more inclined to carry it despite any discomfort. If nothing more than being able to show your buddies, Obviously looks aren't the only reason you should be carrying but I really do think it's something to take into consideration.
I agree, if I can carry a reliable boring looking pistol vs the same reliability in a cool looking pistol I’m probably carrying the cooler looking pistol as long as I don’t give up any reliability or accuracy.
The p320 issue was resolved, but also the apex trigger has completely resolved the issue from my knowledge
I hope you’re right but there has been a lot of law suits files in the past few months over them just going off
Ive been carrying a gen 3 19, since they came out but i sometimes think about getting something else
Curious gear runner..what is the custom trigger you have in the non macro 365 that you picked as 'the one'?
I actually put Sig complete custom fire control unit in that pistol
@@gearrunner thank you..was thinking it might have been an armory craft but that makes sense!
I thought you were going to choose your Wilson Combat EDC. I carry my Kimber Ultra Carry II, 3" in 45 ACP at the 3:30 position IWB. Do you have any experience with Ed Brown pistols? Merry Christmas to you and yours, Gear.
Thank you Stinger and Merry Christmas to you and your family as well. I really like my Wilson but have a video coming up on why not to carry high end pistols. I don’t have any experience with Ed Brown but I have owned a Les Baer and it jammed all the time.
I'm a smaller dude -- 5'3ish 140lbs -- the P365XL feels awesome in my hands -- but the issue you had with the macro I have with the XL. The handle sticks out a little. I may have to look at the P365X which has a little shorter grip handle vs the XL. But I decided to look at the Glock 43X MOS. The low capacity kept me away but I like how it feels on my hands. I got the Shadows Systems CR 920 -- a Glock 43X clone. It conceals better on me than the P365XL. But recently, I found the P938. Even though it only has 7 rounds, it practically disappears on me while shooting as good as the Shadow Systems CR 920 and Sig P365XL (for me).
Maybe if I were a bigger dude, I'd be able to conceal a P365XL.
I have Glock 43x and xl and that handle is too long for me to conceal on the 43x compared to my xl. Just a thought but maybe you should go with the regular 365.
A compact or subcompact Canik Rival…hopes & dreams
Probably but it would be pretty awesome
Bul armory 3.25 ultra comp is what I carry
Did you order off their website or how you go about getting one
I carry the 365x macro but my 365x does conceal better. And feels more comfortable tbh. What trigger did you go with on yours?
I have the Sig custom fire control unit in mine
If I had to guess you would have picked that I would have been wrong... I used to be a black guy 10 years ago I switched over to CZ and only last year I gave the 365x a shot. And for the reasons why you have chosen it has to be if you only have one it's the same reason why after a year I feel the same way. I can conceal it under any circumstances any clothing any weather conditions I have 12 + 1 and of course I too travel with additional 15 rounders plus one. All things considered the suitability the size and the capacity along with price make it the best overall option totally agree.
Tell us more about when you were a black guy
@@MrAkaPro I am very curious as well 🤔
Sig 365 everyday carry.. if I could only have one all around Gun, either the 365 or Glock 19. Hard choice for me.
Is that trigger in your P365X the “flat trigger Gold” from Sig?
That pistol has Sigs custom fire control unit it. That FCU comes with the gold trigger
You can take a 320 apart and see how it works and you will find its impossible for it to fire without a pull of trigger. 365xl elite my pick
I’m surprised the Wilson combat didn’t come up
43x is my carry.
That is a great carry pistol
@@gearrunner I chose it over my small S&W revolver that I carried for 5+ yrs.
@@pearlesme8561 I truly believe autos are better ccw pistols just because how easy the reloads are and a reload will fix most malfunctions
@@gearrunner I decided 5 rounds = sitting duck…
@@pearlesme8561 I definitely agree
Im a sig fanboy... BUT my xmacro is too long in the grip for me to carry it's the same size as a g17, I carry it with the X / Xl grip frame when I do carry it. but with all the issues ive been seeing with the trigger and rust problems my Sig now sits on the shelf. Summer carry is the LCP Max and winter carry is the Glock 19, At least when the LCP max rust I know I didn't pay $850 for it like I did the xmacro on release.
Looks like your personal evolution of your carry guns over the last several years? Most of these guns are very well known, highly regarded, popular and affordable in the CCW community. I think I'll circle back next year and see what you're carrying. 😁 P.S. Currently my EDC is the P365XL Spectre Comp no matter the season! 😉
I’m hoping next year it’s a Staccato CS
I liked them all … but personally I’m sticking with the Glock 48 mos .. for the simplicity and reliability… two many parts with Sig , although I still want one ….I dream about the Staccato 😢
I just bought a pistol I may like better than the Staccato
@@gearrunner Do share plz .. or did I miss it in the video ( we had tornadoes here recently so I’m a bit distracted at the moment)
@@marksc1929 I haven’t yet, I’m hoping to do the video Monday. Hope everyone is ok.
@@gearrunner 👍🏻👍🏻
Time to get a CS.... or get staccato to send you one to try out at least.
That is definitely my next pistol to pick up. I don’t know if they would send me one but either way ones coming.
Try a canik tp9elite SC. Guarantee you’d find you shoot it better out of the box then anything you showed. It’s a mini rival
I heard Canik is coming out with a P365 size pistol next year
@@gearrunner yeah I keep hearing this lately.
@@jackripper6033 I hope they do
Looks always matter.
Agreed
Any "only one" or similar recommendations for the ladies? So far, I have shot and had positive range experiences with the following pistols:
Sig P365-380
Sig P365X & XL (9mm)
Glock 19
Glock 43X & 48
Glock 26
S&W Equalizer
Shield Plus (it's actually become one of my favorites to rent)
M&P 2.0 Compact (considering purchasing the Subcompact little brother)
Ruger Security-9
Canik Mete MC9
I will say that in my experience, the G19 feels like it might be just a tad too big for my hands, so I'm reluctant to choose it as a primary carry even though it's proven itself to be reliable. I'm also fairly small at 5'2" and 107-115 lbs, so I'm not sure that the G19 or any other true "compact"/"mid-size" would fit my frame very well for IWB concealment, especially in warm weather (I live in the South, so it gets pretty hot in the summer). But I'm trying to keep my options open.
Thanks,
Rose
Good afternoon Rose, sounds like you have done a lot of good research already. I personally don’t own a Shield Plus but I have a buddy who does and loves it. I do have a gen 2 Shield and it’s never had a malfunction. If the Shield Plus fits your hands good and you shoot it well that is probably a great option for you. I will try to borrow my buddy’s shield plus to do a review on in the coming weeks. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. I hope my response helps.
Most of the time I'm carrying a Gen4 G30 or a Gen5 G22
I only have two carry guns that i rotate throughout the year depending on weather and clothing, why would i require more than that in my inventory?? Why are people so consumed with having like fifty guns that all do the same job???
One bullet makes the G19 under capacity?
Makes no difference what your EDC pistol would be mine personally
Would be a 4 inch Smith & Wesson in
.357 magnum running hot .38's
Accounting for all the variables
Most close combat situations happened between 7 and 10 ft
Engineering no more than four to six rounds of fired in any exchange
The revolver is more accurate and reliable than any self-loading pistol
Ammunition is readily available both in .38 special and .357 and hand loading is less troublesome with a larger range of hand loadings available
Compared to auto loading cartridges
The only two real drawbacks you may have is magazine capacity and ability to conceal carry
However if you know what you are doing
These are not a problem
Reference Clint Smith Thunder Ranch
And that's enough said
Colt SAA FTW
Well, I only have one, and it is the p365-X.
Springfield XD 10mm, protection from man or beast living in MT.
10mm is a great round
P365 in warm weather and G45 in the winter
Is that an xl slide?
No it’s a regular slide on an XL frame
@@gearrunnerthat’s one of my favorite configurations. Although I put the Sig laser stippled module and Empire magwell on it .
Gun guys have to be the pickiest people in the world. Give me anything, i dont care what it is with iron sights and im hitting the target. I dont need special triggers and red dots and all that bullshit. I also dont carry tacticool appendix so anything also feels fine at 3-4 inside the waist
Edit: also dont need 17 rounds to hit the target. 10 is plenty. Keeps it nice and light
The glock 19 or 26 are still imo the best for, if nothing else, the reliabllity. Even new designs like the sig m18 and walther pdp compact has choked on basic ball ammo. G19 is the onlty thing im confirmed in
So many problems with the macro though
P365 sometimes my glock 17
P365x is the best edc!!!! I have the magguts +2 Wilson combat grip hson 507k gr it’s the best and it’s not even close
Sig often have negligent discharges. No thanks.
All year around edc Glock 45..
I get it’s personal preference….but to me optics and flashlights added, you’re carry a miniature suitcase on your waste. Learn your preferred edc without the extras. Practice practice practice.
Bad things happen at night. You need to know your target and what’s beyond it. You can’t do that in the dark without a light
Adding extras later is fine. But I think people should master irons first.
@@Catgat37 once you get older and those iron sites become blurry it's time for a red dot.
Kel-Tec P17
Glock 19
Glock G45
Glock 26
Macro in a QVO More Discreet
The smaller guns just don’t work for me, but I agree the 365 is quite the CCW.
Makes no sense at all…you say the x macro grip is too long for edc but then shows a gun with an threaded barrel…never seen edc with a suppressor on it
The grip is to long. That’s what prints not the barrel!
43X IS BETTER
That’s a matter of opinion
@@gearrunner THATS EVERYBODYS OPINION
@@buddy9577 NOT MINE!
Not mine either
Interesting way of spelling "bigger." With less capacity. Unless you spend $40 extra on unreliable mags. I've seen more proof of Shield mags failing than new 320s going off without the trigger being pulled.
I'll take the 19
I'll take the 48
I sent you a dm on Instagram!
