Different grips and different slides turn a P365 into a different gun, and the XMacro TACOPS is a distinct step up. It is a 9mm in a two-tone finish, built on SIG's XMacro frame.

The XMacro is larger than the micro-compact P365, with a longer grip for more capacity and better control. The TACOPS label is a SIG trim that usually brings added features. Dry-fire practice, done safely with an empty and checked pistol, builds a clean trigger press for almost nothing. Magazines and holsters for popular pistols are easy to find, which keeps ownership simple.

Two-tone means a dark frame with a contrasting slide, which looks sharp and helps you see the pistol on the bench. It also masks dirt and wear.

A bigger P365 can work as a carry pistol for people who like a full grip. For others it makes more sense as a range or home defense pistol. Try one on your belt before you commit, because size affects comfort.

Priced above the basic P365, it adds features. New condition. It ships to a North Carolina FFL dealer for pickup and the background check.
