Need help deciding between X-maco p365 or Canik MC9L, is it worth the extra 300 dollars?

I would say the X-Macro, especially with the AXG grip, is the best do-it-all 9mm you can get right now. With that grip, it recoils less and is more accurate than my Glock 19, without weighing any more, all while still being slimmer. These are my results vs. the Glock 19, firing 10 rounds each at 3, 5, 7, 15, and 25 yards
 
I carry the dinky 365 though. The Hogue grip makes it so it fills your palm more, and gives one finger groove.

Anything like this for the small 365?

Haven't looked.

I was ready to sell my xmacro until I found that extended backstrap. It makes the gun fit adult size hands, finally!

There's another extended backstrap that I bought, forget the brand, but it adds a huge hump at the back which I hated, ruins the otherwise good ergo's.

That Kiral part should come from Sig or Sig should include that size and shape insert with the xmaco and same concept for all their p365 models. The gun just has too short a reach to the trigger without it!
 
Im in a county where im not allowed to modify my ccw other. So kinda just trying to get best bang for buck stock compact.
I'm going to guess contra costa? Just get sig parts no one would know any better. Sheriff who did our qualifications didn't even glance at anyone guns. I vote Xmacro comp

Xmacro. They run flawless, conceal well, very accurate

the canik feels good, has a great trigger, and is a jam factory. Hoping it'll break in eventually, but I don't trust it.
 
I have an xmacro comp and recently picked up the mc9ls (still waiting to get to the range and shoot it).

The xmacro does have a comfortable grip due to the deeper undercut on the trigger guard. The mc9ls has a superior trigger. They will essentially conceal the same. As far as recoil goes, I've read a lot of YouTube comments that say there isn't much difference between the two and seen that the mc9ls shoots fairly flat.

If you can somehow find the upgraded version of the MC9, the MC9 Prime then it's well worth it.

I absolutely love my. It's been reliable and pleasure to shoot (which leads to more practices)
 
I say this every time the p365 comes up. Hogue Handall rubber grip sleeve. Makes the gun much easier to handle/handall.
Agree.
I do find the space for index finger to bottom of trigger guard tight due to the molded top finger grove on the sleeve.

I am a glock guy but now have a 365 with shortened XMacro grip and the XMacro. Shot a Mc9 Prime on our anniversary trip and it is the first gun in over 30 years that I really had to have.
