The Sig P365XL is the P365 with a 3.7-inch barrel and a full-length grip, which turned the pocket-sized original into a gun people shoot like a compact. It is also a holster trap, because the standard P365, the XL, the XMACRO and the MOS versions all look alike and do not share holsters. This guide covers the kydex IWB we make for the XL, the separate one for the XL MOS, the light-bearing option, and how to carry it.

Which Sig Sauer P365XL models share a holster
The XL slide is longer than the standard P365's and shorter than the XMACRO's, so neither of those holsters fits. The XL MOS has an optics cut and a slightly different slide and gets its own mold. Both XL versions take a 15-round grip, so the concealment advice is the same.

How to carry a Sig Sauer P365XL
Appendix
The XL is the P365 that people move to appendix because the longer grip shoots better and the claw hides it. Neutral cant and a claw.
Strong side
Fifteen degrees forward at 3 or 4 o'clock. The XL is thin enough that the grip length is the only concealment variable.
Optics and lights
Standard XL: the Clip & Carry mold clears standard sights and low-mount dots. XL MOS: use the MOS mold; the optic cut and plate change the slide. Light: the PL-Mini 2 paddle above.
Frequently asked questions
Does a P365 holster fit the P365XL?
No. The XL slide is longer.
Does a P365XL holster fit the XMACRO?
No. The XMACRO slide is longer again. Each has its own holster.
Do I need the MOS holster for a P365XL MOS?
Yes. The optic cut changes the slide profile.
Does the holster fit with a Romeo Zero installed?
On the MOS mold, yes; on the standard mold, most low-mount dots clear, but the MOS holster is the safe pick.
Left hand?
Yes.
The bottom line
The P365XL IWB holster with a claw at appendix is how most XL owners end up carrying it; buy the MOS mold if your slide is cut.
