I carry virtually all the time once again, which I find gives me much better peace of mind, given our “social” situation. When the 365 came out I was rather taken with it and eventually purchased a 365XL. I carried that 220 everywhere! When I retired, I found myself not carrying as much, and sometimes just having only a sub caliber pocket pistol. I was a firearms trainer for many years as well as being an Executive Protection Agent for several years.

( i had gotten a considerable amount of use out of a “European” mag release 220 prior to my “New” Sig) Since then it has seen nearly 250,000 rounds fired through it (98% plus full power loads). I purchased this Sig when they first came with replaceable front sights, about 1991. Recently I retired my SigP22045 to a “fun” and house gun. With this backing facing the body and a rigid Kydex holster holding the handgun, the Quicktuk Cloud is secured to the belt by a well-designed belt clip. With a supple, breathable nylon backing over cell foam, the holster helps eliminate moisture. The Galco Quicktuk Cloud inside-the-waistband holster proved ideal. Specs: SIG P365XL SpectreĬapacity: Two 12-round magazines includedĬarrying the pistol concealed requires some research and shopping for the best holster. This is an excellent all-around set up for personal defense. Hit probability is excellent for those who practice. The Romeo Zero is a valid addition to the SIG P365XL Spectre. The lowest brightness setting was used in dim light in order not to overpower the target. The sight, despite its modest price and small profile, has proven durable on several pistols I have tested. Windage and elevation adjustments are accessible and easily handled. Battery life is an astonishing 20,000 hours - red dots and batteries have come a long way. The housing is polymer making for light weight. The SIG Romeo is a neat compact addition to the SIG Spectre 9mm. I fired from a solid benchrest position at 15 yards.

These were the Fiocchi 124-grain Extrema, Federal 124-grain HST, and Hornady 115-grain Critical Defense. For testing absolute accuracy, I included three loads. Aim, press the trigger, allow the pistol to reset in recoil, and fire again. IN fact, most hits were in the X-ring with a few in the 8 and 9 rings. Firing at man-sized targets at 5 and 7 yards, the Spectre proved effective in taking out the X-ring. The grip treatment and trigger combined to give the shooter excellent control in firing strings. The pistol isn’t as comfortable to fire as a SIG P320, but recoil wasn’t sharp or painful. This is a 21-ounce pistol, so there is recoil energy. The pistol never failed to feed, chamber, fire, or eject. Most of the ammunition used was Fiocchi FMJ in 124-grain, Federal American Eagle 124-grain, and Federal Syntech 9mm. At the Rangeįiring the pistol was a pleasure. The SIG Romeo offers easy windage and elevation adjustments.

The trigger guard is slightly elongated compared to the SIG P365. The grip treatment includes recesses in the grip that give the shooter greater purchase than the standard P365 did.

Once you have affirmed the grip, the pistol isn’t going anywhere whether the hand is wet, cold, or sweaty. Grip texture provides what most of us will find to be an ideal balance of adhesion and abrasion. The grip tang is extended for better feel and recoil control. While the slide catches the eye, the polymer receiver holding the stainless-steel chassis has also received special treatment. I think releasing the slide after a reload by wedging the rear sight on a belt or boot heel is viable with this setup. If the need arises, you may rack the slide by using the wedge-type rear sight. Radioactive tritium makes for true 24-hour sighting ability. These sights feature a fluorescent circle around the bright front sight and two dots in the rear sight. The slide features excellent machine work and a battle worn finish.
