I find these videos by hickock to be very therapeutic. The sound of the firing. Hickocks dr. Phil esque tone. He’s like the grandpa I always wanted lol! Anyone else feel this way? Haha

This man is like the gun-loving father I never had.

Every time, I see something interesting online or at the gun shop, I always come here to check your opinions. I just got the Sig P365XL and I love it. Thank you Hickok45!

Mr. Hickok45 and John please keep doing videos. You are highly appreciated.

2019: When you can fill up a Monte Cristo box full of 9mm ammo, life can't be too bad, can it? 2021: Try filling up that Monte Cristo box now without taking out a second mortgage.

No matter how great the gun, when I watch him shoot, I am reminded “it is not the fiddle but the fiddler” who can make those targets sing.

The fact that Hickok chooses a P365 as his conceal carry firearm speaks volumes. I now also carry a P365. Thanks Hickok.

I personally love the sound of hickock picking up bullets from the box and loading them in the mag.

... "Some states, that are like other countries" Gold

Being able to see the rounds going down range on camera from a nine mil is a trip

Coffee and Hickok45 video. Perfect morning!

Thank you guys for the consistent and honest reviews! I had the P365 SAS, didn't like the sights and picked up the P365 XL. The size difference is not noticeable from the SAS to the XL as I had the 12 round mag for my SAS. The bonus with the XL is that you do not need to purchase the extended mag for a better grip if you have size L or larger hands. The SAS was too small to grip for me. I have had my P365's for over a year, easily 1k rounds through them. Not a single malfunction. Tight groups, it weighs nothing, and is easily concealable with jeans and a tshirt on no matter what type of carry you're doing. I carry center abdomen and often forget it's even there. I jog with it and even play a little solo basketball shooting around while my dog plays in the part. It's that comfortable hence the design and name, designed and meant to be worn 365 days out of the year. Other guns are too thick, too long, or they feel like cheap plastic and the grips suck. The P365 is hot and ready to go right out of the box. Great value for the cost in my opinion. I hope this helps you all out. Especially since there's some sort of buzz going around about malfunctions. I am unaware of that, and have had not a single malfunction with either of mine.

One thing I really like about hickok is that he his safety language "Its empty" is worked right into his natural speech

Had the worst day I've had in a long time. But as soon as i got home and sat down had to watch your video you are the absolute best!

Hey hickok, coming from cleveland Ohio here just wanted to say thanks for all the knowledge. And being so humble while sharing it. I moved back here from Tennessee two years ago and everytime I watch your videos I wish i could be back.

It's so enjoyable to watch your videos. I held my first P365 XL today and the one thing I didn't like was the shortened pistol grip in my hand. I am glad to see that SIG makes a 15 rd mag that compensates with that grip. I did notice the P365 MACRO has a larger pistol grip and was extremely comfortable in my hand. The dimensions with the MACRO and the XL were almost identical with the exception of the pistol grip length. One thing I did notice on the MACRO is that I couldn't drop the slide with the mag inserted, at first I thought this was a flaw, but the salesman explained to me that SIG actually intended this so that the shooter couldn't load an empty magazine. He put a dummy round in and showed that the slide would drop and without it was impossible. SIG is brilliant and very thoughtful.

I love watching those bullets track in to the gong

Got the original 365. Love it. Spent $35 and got an XL grip module and put the firing group and slide from the original on XL grip module. So now I have a long frame short slide 365. Love this configuration thanks to the modularity of Sig's striker fired system. Also, thanks for all you do Hicock45! You are usually my first stop when looking for gun reviews. Love the content!

You can always rely on Hickok45 for an accurate, comprehensive, and honest assessment with some good old fashioned entertainment :)

I have been watching your videos for years. I love them and always learn something new. Please keep the GONG, feels like a family member. God bless.

As always, another well done video, and THANKS FOR DOING THIS,I have both ,the P365 Micro and the new P365 XL, love them both, and they have been added to my EDC rotation, they have for now been 100% reliable, accurate and just fun to shoot, Sig has another winner....

The XL is really nice. Surprisingly easy to shoot for such a small light handgun. Glad to see that Hickok45 feels the same!

Another good review Hickok. I purchased the first P365 that arrived at The Armory in southern middle TN. As far as I'm concerned it is the perfect carry gun and shoots well. Glad to see you followed my lead and carry it in the Alabama holster 😂 All the best!

Hickok 45 makes any gun that functions properly look amazing. I can see Bud's Gun Shop and Federal sends them so much. Great content. Always a a great way to start the morning. Everybody have a great day!

That laugh every time he empties a magazine like he just invented fire!

Thanks Hickok45! I carried the Sig P320C 9mm until the Sig P365 came out. Your review on that helped me decide to go with that, with 12 round magazines, as my EDC pistol. And I have 3000 rounds through it using mostly hotter 124grn NATO and +P ammo. Not a single malfunction of any kind. I have now switched from the FBI 135grn +P carry ammo to the SIG 365 branded carry and practice ammo as the NATO and +P ammo was LOUD! I got to thinking that if I had to discharge my weapon indoors, it might be a bit too noisy! Anyway, my sights are now set on the SIG P365XL. I was a SIG guy in the military (I carried a P226) and now because their weapons just fit like a glove for me and 'feel great in the hand' as you say. Thanks again Hickok45 & John!

I love his little chuckles. This guy is such a joy to watch.

My P365XL came with the Romeo zero optic. I've recently changed that out for the fixed rear sight. SIG had the plate and sight as an option. I like it more now than ever! Thanks Mr Hickock for your channel!

the grip on the 365 is definitely a lot slimmer than you might expect. however that's part of what makes it such a great carry gun

I just got my sig P365 XL and I love it.

Last year I bought my first carry gun - a new P 365. I take it to the range once a month and shoot at least 50 rounds. The gun has performed perfectly with only normal maintenance and it's actually pretty easy to break down and clean. I love it. Recently, I had an opportunity to shoot an XL. I noticed the difference that more mass makes in absorbing recoil, and for that reason, and the longer handle, decided to sell my 365 and get the XL. That's not meant to be a criticism; they're both marvels of engineering. It would have been helpful to let potential buyers know that they should plan for the purchase of a loading tool if they plan to load all 12 into the clip, or, be Superman. That is one stiff spring. Since I do shoot the 365, I'm qualified to say that your demonstration was some pretty impressive shooting. Thanks again.

And Thank you Hickok.45 for your very informative videos.You are my go to for all firearm info

The only man that will never be confronted about saying “YES SIRRRY BOB”.

Best Man :) hope you live a loooooong life. :) love your vids.

The sound of hickok hitting the steel targets is my ASMR. Please never stop doing these videos.

I bought a P365 standard size Haze Grey frame (Go Navy!) with black slide for my wife a year ago. She loves the gun and is a regular Annie Oakley with it. Great review. As always, Thank you hickok45

I love my P365XL. I have small hands and its one of the few double stack handguns I can get a good purchase on and use all the controls without breaking my grip. It conceals nice and flat anywhere on the body with little inconvenience - with a good holster, of course. I was determined I was going to buy a hellcat that day. Test drove 'em both over 300rds and without question the P365/XL was worth the price difference. P365 recoil impulse was a lot softer than the Hellcat and even better with the XL. Great job Hickok(s) with the videos, keep em coming. Stay healthy.

I love it. I think other companies will follow sig on this one and try to create more pistols in this very limited category between subcompact and compact. Great job sig. Small enough to carry but big enough to compete against established pistols like the G19 and other compact service pistols.

Thanks so much, Hickok 45, for all the comparisons that you have done in this video. You have helped me decide on the Sig 365 rather than the XL as I have other stuff about the size of the XL, but not of the little one except a .380. If I can have stuff the size of the .380 in 9mm, I'd rather do it. Now that Sig has the bugs out of it, I believe it would be OK to buy. Most grateful for your help to so many of us.

Thank you, Hickock45, for the awesome videos, and great energy! Just picked one of these up, and you’re my go to on a lot of firearms. Take care, and I subscribed as well!

Dude your videos always make me smile. I have the p365XL with the red dot. I love it. Your take on hand size is spot on. I have mediumish hand size and this gun fits like a glove. Grinning ear to ear with every pull of the trigger.

Thanks so much for the review. I’m going with the 365 xl. Fits my hand great.

Good morning, I am a new viewer/subscriber. Great Stuff! I love the chuckle after every empty magazine. Glad to see it never stops being fun, and, you get to enjoy doing it with your son. Keep up the great work!

You are the first firearm videos I watched and just found your videos again. You guys do great work 👍🏽

Dear Mr. Hickok, You have a lot of watchers in Israel, including me; I follow with great pleasure especially your handguns reviews . I hope kindly one day you can review SIG P320 X- Five full size . Let me wish you a good health, and thank you for your channel

Awesome small gun, very concealable. Cleaned it before ever shooting, not one malfunction first 200 rounds (150 AE 115 FMG, 50 Federal HST 124 +P). Totally love this gun, everything about it. My hand size is womewhere in the average (can nearly palm a basketball, but cannot palm a basketball), and the size, weight, capacity, grip texture, just love it.

Love my SIG's, had them for year's with zero problems. Older P250 models, but still super dependable.

A very solid informational video, this man knows his business can add humor you get a little chuckle no time wasting bull i am a dedicated follower of the videos has helped me with several not quite sure issues thanks .

Hickock’s subscriber base just keeps growing and growing!! 👍

Saw video title. Know that Hickock45 doesn't care for SIGs. Expected the, "well, he he, it's a SIG! Some people like 'em...". Didn't get that. Mind TOTALLY BLOWN! Glad you found a SIG model you actually like!

This was a really good video. Thank you for taking the time to make it. I feel like you got a new camera. If you did, the picture quality is superb

Hickock45 reminds me of my Cowboy Pop-pop. Smart, tall, articulate, happy to teach, overall a rock. He taught me to shoot, fish and play guitar. I imagine Poppop and Hickock45 could sip some suds and have some good conversations. Good health and happiness to you, Hickock.

I recently purchased the P365 And straight out of the Box I shot that pistol better than any new gun I've ever bought...I love it

I love my sig p365. Target re-accusition with the tritium front sight is a snap. doesn't fell like a small hand gun. I do not have large hands but they are not small either. The first time I had it out went through 200 + rounds and no hand fatigue with that. It is just a hoot to shoot. Carry it daily. No failures with it what so ever. This is my second sig. Looking forward to the third sig.

You are an awesome instructor & a real trip! Love watching and listening👀

I’d pick one up today cause of you sir Hickok! I’ve shots 250rds and sir you’re correct shooting is very accurate and fit my hand better than the 365 regular. Thank you for your advice! Love every single one of your vids. Appreciated!

Just came home with mine, 599 out the door. Amazing fit and finish feels great in the hand so excited to shoot it tomorrow

I bought a 365 last winter and found it to be a great shooter. I actually shoot it better than many non-sig full size guns😉. I’m seriously thinking of getting the 365XL since I predominantly belt carry. Thanks for the review!

There's nothing like a Hickok45 video! Another superb review!

Hickok thanks for all you do and have done. Your soothing style has drawn new 2A patriots to the NRA. We need to support it.

I was literally searching to see if you covered this pistol last night. That's awesome, thank you

I just got my P365 last week can’t wait to get it to the range. Will probably be in my carry rotation

Watch your videos almost daily. Very informative. Keep it going. Thank you for what you do.

Merry Christmas 2021, Hickok45 and John. Thank you for all the great information that you impart.

I wish I waited and bought an XL. Thank you again for you and your teams fantastic work,

I have a P365 since Jan. '19 and have just over 1,600 rounds through it and no problems. If you got small mitts like me, this may be the CCW for you, if not then try the XL. I'm not liking the trigger curve on the XL but I must admit I haven't felt one up.

Best vids on the net. Thanks for sharing. Supported our men in service and our second amendment.

I also like both of mine too...seem fine with NO issues! Thanks again Range Gods!

You are the only person I know who can play a concert with a pistol.

Just got back from range day with my P365. It’s amazing how quickly you get used to shooting a micro 9 mm. I’d like to try out the XL and that straight trigger.

P365 XL Sig,,,,is Excellent.......Thank You So Much for You Show.....I am a Retired of Houston Police Department....Good Luck...Big Guy.

You have the best dad jokes. Keep er going hickok45!

Accuracy is just ridiculous with everything he picks up to shoot. Damn!

I invest in precious metals, Gold, Silver but mostly LEAD!!!!🇺🇸

His videos are what I watch before going to sleep. Something calming about him loading mags.

Thanks for the review. I just picked up the 365XL Comp ‘Rose’ for the ol’lady as her new carry pistol, I carry the original 365 and love it. I think she’s going to enjoy the XL, cheers!

I pocket carry the XL in a sticky holster every day w no problem and a 15 round backup mag. Works great. Never had any reliability issues over two years and 2k rounds of various makes and weights. Highly recommended

I also own an XL, have put probably only 5-600 through it due to the great ammo shortage of 2020. Still though, haven't had a single malfunction with mine.

What a difference a year makes! Walked through academy yesterday (September 2020) and there was 4 handguns in the case and NO handgun ammo at all! Here Hickok45 is spending 9MM like there wasn't an ammo shortage coming up..LOL......My purchases then make me feel good now! On guns and ammo both! Keep shooting Hickok45...love those videos! I never buy a gun until I see if Hickok45 has reviewed it.

Hickok 45. Is there any pistol you cannot shoot good.You are just a joy to watch,with a fantastic sense of humor. Love to watch your videos ,it does get kind of expensive though cause I want to buy every gun you test. If I could only shoot half as good as you !!

Yesterday I rented 5 pistols to compare to the p365XL at the range. I have medium size hands and decided that comfort/accuracy while shooting was one of the most important things for me. Guns I rented were: • Glock 43 • Glock 26 • Glock 19 • M&P Shield • Taurus Slim 9mm (just to try a different price range) • Sig p365xl The sig out performed all of them. Glock 43 - Too long to carry. Glock 26 - Too wide to carry inside the waist band for me and the grip tore my palm up completely Glock 19 - too wide and too long (second most accurate shooting compared to the sig for my hand size though) M&P Shield - Felt inaccurate because of the skinniness of the handle and how wide the handle is from the back of the grip to the trigger for my hands to shoot it well. Taurus Slim - Long trigger pull, extremely inaccurate (could've just been the sites that were off or my shooting style) had a misfire Sig p365xl - Felt like it was designed around my hand, first shot was dead on the bullseye, 90 degree trigger pull, the ability to order with or without a thumb safety, capacity and other magazines that actually work with it, extremely slim compared to just about everything else, no misfires at all, beaver tail was great When comparing to it's little brother Sig p365 - round trigger, small beaver tail, shorter barrel, lower capacity, extended magazines make it the EXACT shape of the XL with the same rounds, magazine doesn't eject as well because it hits your palm and then pinches your pinky when you're reloading fast Sig p365xl - Flat trigger, longer beaver tail, longer barrel by half inch, higher capacity magazine, mag easier to eject, less recoil I'm planning to make the 365XL my conceal carry. It really is amazing. They're also planning to release a new site for it soon.

Excellent video! Now, after viewing your review I will purchase one.

Another great review from Hickok45. The XL shoots better than the 365, less recoil, and a really smooth trigger. No more striker drag with the XL either. I love the XL but I still prefer the 365 as an everyday micro carry.

Love your videos. My go to for when I’m looking at purchasing a gun. If Hickok 45 don’t like it, I ain’t buying it!

To put it in perspective how thin the 356 is, it's about a tenth of an inch thicker than my lc9s which holds 7 rounds... Pretty awesome

I agree absolutely and even more so. I OWN a P365 and use 12 rd magazines in it exclusively. I fired a P365XL, a friend's carry weapon this weekend. I did not burn it down or anything, just fired 40 rounds or so through it, and I can tell you it is a superior shooting weapon to the P365 especially with the 9BPLE that I carry in it. It is much easier to control with MUCH less muzzle flip due to the slightly wider grip swell and 0.6" longer barrel. It is just about as concealable as the two grips are equal in LENGTH with the 12 round mags inserted. They fit in the same holsters. The Optics Ready Slide on the P365XL is valuable for future upgrades, the FLAT TRIGGER made no difference, and the longer sight radius made it more accurate for me. I am NOT going to sell my P365, but I'm going to buy a P365XL as soon as this COVID-19 PLANNEDEMIC stupidity is over.

Hickok45 is truly a treasure to the community. We need to appreciate him while he’s here 💯

I am a fan of Hickok 45 and was impressed with this video. I swapped my EDC from a M&P Shield 380 EZ (8+1 rounds of Hornady 380 95 gr FTX) to the Sig P365 XL (12+1 rounds of Hornady 9 mm 115 gr FTX) The Sig is smaller than the Smith and uses more powerful rounds. I keep my EZ in the night stand now.

P365 is one of my favorites! Good vid brotha

I think it’s time for a Chapter 2! I’ve rewatched this video after you recent discussions and thoughts on Sundays about how you feel about this gun and moving to pocket carry with it. Seriously considering one. Love to see a follow up.

Just made the Sig P365 XL my first handgun. Excited to pick it up and test it out. Thanks for the great review.

Been requesting a follow up to the P365. Glad to see it, thanks for the video.

Thanks for making your videos! After much research and many video reviews I purchased the sig p365XL and you are right, it feels perfect in the hand! Amazing grip! I got rid of my G43X because it had way too much recoil for me. I think men have stronger grip and can control the recoil much better. Not that I’m a wimp but try as I might I just couldn’t control that recoil. This 365XL is much better! Very happy with it and this will be my CC gun.

Love my xl. It fits perfectly into my hand and it shoots really good. I am not a fan boy of any manufacturer. I just want something that feels good in my hand and shoots when I pull the trigger. Havnt had ANY issues.

I purchased A XL at a local gun show here in NC saturday 9/14/19. Went to range 9/15/19 shot it 210 times and was Great! Came home cleaned and found serious scrapes on top of chamber--- Not good. Called and shipped it to Sig today about this problem. I was assured they would completley go over it and correct the problem. I sure hope so, Really love the feel and being able to carry a smaller pistol ..

I carry my P365 off duty and as a back up . I not had any issues with the pistol. I bought a 15 round mag for it this past weekend . It was defective as was the next two magazines at Royal Range. They were nice about it and tested the last two before I walked out of the store.

The Hogue Handall grip sleeve made my P365 grip fit my hand perfectly.

P365 in any model is a great firearm. I have 3. The basic 365, a 365 xl, and a 365 SAS. All of them are flawless shooters although I must say I am not a fan of Sigs SAS system. Holding point of aim at the center my shots hit off grid and upper left regularly. Still a great shooter but you cannot trust the aim enough to carry with confidence.

Hickok with all the free advertisement you have done for these gunmakers they are to make you your own Hickok brand gun. let you build it to your specs and size 💯 Limited edition Hickok 45

Haha i love this guy and his "Lame" jokes, all of your videos are very informational and i really appreciate you taking the time to help people like myself understand different types of guns, ammo, and what not. Also cool to know that you live near by!
