Love my TacOps. Had the original P365, then the XL, sold them both when the Springfield Hellcat Pro came out. Didn't want the expensive Macro with the short barrel and comp, but when the TacOps came out it seemed like the sweet spot. I put a True Precision barrel in it to add some barrel length, and now it's a perfect EDC for me.

Regarding the dead front sight issue: this is pervasive among Sig's X-Ray line of night sights. I had the same issue with my P365XL and it was the same thing, they offered to replace the front sight with a functioning one for free but only if I sent in the slide for them to do it. Fortunately I've got other carry pieces so I didn't mind my Sig being out of commission for 2 weeks, but this happened over a year ago and it's ridiculous the issue hasn't been resolved yet.

On my X-Macro Comp that I got the week it released, I had a wee bit of rust form on the rear sight after a sweaty week of AIWB carry here in Florida. Oil and a little elbow grease took it off, and then making sure I do a light oil now and then, the rust never came back. I've also had a few issues with my P320s and P226s over the years, their CS was good, but I haven't had to deal with them since before the "plague" changed everything in the country. I've got an XL too, and thought the comp would be a gimmick and I'd run the XL slide and the Macro module/mags. After hundreds of rounds on the range, I ended up sticking with the 3.1" barrel comp slide, just like the way it shoots for me. Only downside, the comp slide gets hotter than a two-dollar pistol on a range session. I ran a 4 Bros high sweat guard AIWB TLR-7 1913 until I picked up a Mischief Machine Commander grip module, then got a quick-ship QVO Tactical AIWB, also with a high sweat guard. BTW, love the MM Commander module, it's more than just bling. All-metal and removable grip panels makes the gun a wee bit thicker, but that's fine, I don't lose much concealment, and get more meat on the grip with the support hand and a better trigger placement, and of course more weight to make it shoot that much flatter. And kind of like the Wilson Combat grip modules, it's thin where it needs to be.

I personally have never been so torn about whether or not to buy a gun, and specifically a Sig P365x Macro. Every time I see a review on this gun I read comments and hear testimonials about how great the gun is, BUT….. and then comes the list of problems; rusting, front sight dead, grip back strap loose, mag release difficulties, etc. What bothers me the most and causes my apprehension is the fact that the videos/reviews/comments cover a period of months and months. Does Sig have a relentless ongoing quality control issue? Are they selling so many of these that quality is being sacrificed for sales quantity? I own many guns, no Sigs and cannot reconcile the things I keep hearing/seeing about the Macros.

Sweat guards usually are, mid or short. High seems to be rare, and people tend to cut them down. I still think tall is better for a quick ship holster since you can cut it down. As for the size complaint, they can order any grip module (Sig, Armory Craft, Wilson, TD, Mischief Machine, Shalotek, Icarus, etc) and then you can swap it to that, easy as pie. As for customer service, never had an issue. They have always been super cordial, if there is a misunderstanding, I just clarify what I was asking, and they help find the answer. Not as good as Wilson, or Trijicon customer service, but it's definitely not the worst CS I have dealt with. Glad you are enjoying the pistol though, I am personally pestering Wilson for a Macro frame. Once that comes out, I will definitely snap one up. I have also considered seeing if you can cut the Macro frame to fit a XL 12rd mag...saw a picture and thought it might be a really nice package.
