Nerding out= caring about...that is why we are here. Always good to really know what the differences and even subtle differences are. It's those little things that usually make people love or hate a gun. Keep up the thorough reviews and comparisons!

I like that X-carry slide/barrel combo on the X-compact grip module. That’s a winner of u ask me...

Which one? ... DUH . .... BOTH. I just get all black so my wife doesn't notice.

Thanks for all the information! I’m looking forward to getting my hands on the compact. I enjoy my p 320 and 365. Fun to shoot .

I really enjoy nerding out on these pistols. Thanks for the details.

I actually really appreciate you pointing out all the minutiae, sometimes it matters!

Thanks for the informative video. Decided on the X Compact thanks in part to your fair descriptions.

Wow, I wasn't expecting the difference between grip circumferences. I've really enjoyed my buddy's XFive so I want an X Compact, but I have small hands and was worried about the grip size. Good to know the XC scales down the grip size in all ways, not just length.

I enjoyed your comparison and look forward to seeing more of your videos. Thank you for the enjoyable video!

I’m liking the compact. Thanks for the side by side!

I've shot both and they are very comfortable to grip. My preference is the compact. It fit like a glove in my hands. I recommend testing them before you make the purchase. Great pistols.

Got all three. Carry, compact and sub compact. Love all three

I couldn’t find a better video than this one for comparison. 👍🏽

Thumbs up for the "nerd out" portion. I enjoy it Compact for sure just due to ease of concealment.

Such a great review! Love nerding out with gun reviews

I just bought the X-Carry and I have shot a little over 100 rounds through it. The trigger is great, the grip is great and I can conceal it just fine. I need a better holster, but the one I have will work for now.

X Carry! Just picked mine up this afternoon. Almost effortless ease to put shots on target accurately. Smooth operation throughout. Well balanced weapon with great ergonomics gone into it.

I just picked up a p320 compact at the pawn shop for $320. Im in love with this pistol. Went to bass pro and held the x carry grip and I like it alot better than the original. About to order a xcompact grip.

Thanks again for this informative comparison video. I was just reviewing these two at my local Gunsmiths last week. After deliberation if a few weeks I have finally parted with my beloved P365 and exchanged for the X Carry. Our national laws in Israel don't allow us as civilians to own more than one firearm. Sucks but what can one do. Time to hurry up and wait for my renewed permit to come through then I can collect my new firearm.

Good stuff man . I've always found sig kinda bulky but they have done something pretty cool with the modular design

Wow didn't realize the carry slide would work on the compact frame! That is cool to know. I'm a Fairly skinny guy so to get a good conceal carry pistol I usually have to sacrifice slide/barrel length to get a smaller grip length, but with that interchangeable slide I might be set!

Just purchased the X-Compact. The first 5 rounds out of the box were dead center. Felt great in my hands. The trigger is fantastic and has a short, crisp reset. The trigger weighed in at just under 4 pounds. My M18 weighs just over 6 pounds. My X-Compact has the upgrade which all newer models have from the factory. It is now replacing what was my most favorite carry gun, the H&K VP9SK. Don't get me wrong because I still love the H&K. I like to have more than one option. Also, if you hold the gun correctly your thumb will not be touching the slide stop release button. BTW, great video, thanks.

I definitely needed this video. Specifically the little notch for your thumbs. That’s the main reason I shied away from a Glock 19. Just being able to gain a confident grip on the pistol makes a world of a difference.

The X-Carry felt good in my hands at the gun store. I bet the X-Compact is gonna feel amazing! This is the only 320 that I am excited about add to my collection. Great review

One advantage of the X Series that gets scant attention is the ease of racking the slide. My wife loves her M&P 9c and shoots it extremely well, but she can't for the life of her rack the slide. We rented the XCompact yesterday. She shot it even better than the 9c and she could rack the slide. I expect her to buy herself a late Christmas present later this week.

I enjoyed your video ! I found your video because I’m building a P320 n I trying to learn as much as I can , I ordered a Compact medium frame ;still have to figure out slide n barrel lengths ; especially after you put the carry slide on the Compact ; I’m thinking to get all parts I have ordered come in , n decided if I want to build a Carry P320 !!!!!! Thanks a great deal for doing this video in the exact way you did it !!! 😷💥💥🔫 Patrick

I love them both they both look amazing price might be the deciding factor so getting the prices on these would be great

another great video ... would love to see you update your intro, something a bit more modern, digital, and with a lot less gunfire noise ! I like the Compact-X as it is a bit smaller ... but the Carry-X has cool slide cutout. One thing you did not point out, the Compact has loaded chamber indicator on top of slide.

Howdy...I've enjoyed your meticulous videos and explanations about Sig products in general. 1 year anniversary for my P320 X Carry...luv it ! Next buy for me will be the P320 X Compact...hands down. Appreciate your work and value you bring to your viewers!

I like this style vid great job. I am fortunate to own both of these and really like them. I just hope the finish on my Coyote X Carry holds up its fine now so we will see.

I have 9- p320/p365's. I like the P320 XCompact the best it feels a little better balanced, probably because the carry slide is 4/10's of a inch longer and a little front heavy. Not a massive difference but enough that I can tell. It isn't a game changer at all, just picking on some things, if I didn't have the X Compact the Carry would be just fine. You make a lot of good videos, keep them coming! Another video you might make is the new Walther PDP vs Walther PDP F Series.

While I haven’t held/Shot the compact, I’ve found that grip difference found on the regular X Carry has helped me not ride the slide stop. Not sure if everyone likes that but to me it’s a benefit. Granted I wear XL gloves and even those are usually not long enough in the fingers) so that gap isn’t quite as exaggerated as it appeared to be for you. Well. Thought I would leave this as food for though. Great comparison as usual brother. Looking forward to Summer and hopefully switching up my daughter’s barrel racing lessons so I can join back in on the Wednesday chats.

Great info as usual.Enjoy your videos.

Swap out the X Carry grip module for winter when you can cover it with a coat, and the X Compact when it's t shirt weather and printing becomes more of a concern. And yeah, nice nerd out I watched the lot 👍

Good vid KS, thanks. I'm probably going to pick up the compact!

They also work with shield RMSc red dots.

Loved the video, thanks.👍🏽

Thanks for the video !!

Great info in this, thank you!

Straight and to the point, thank you .

Another great video, thanks KSGunGuy!

Excellent video. Hard to choose one of the two. I would choose the Xcarry and buy the compact grip module. Thanks

I kinda like that settup you showed was possible. The x-carry with the x-compact grip module. You get the longer barrel with the cutout with the smaller grip module for easier conceal. That being said my next firearm purchase I am planning on getting an x-carry.

I've had both, well just got the compact 2 weeks ago. Got from one of my distributors and like it so much, I decided to put it in my name. It's just the right size for me. Nice ergo', shootable, little pistol.

Love my xcarry. Never ever had malfunctions and so easy to clean and maintain

I have the compact. Fun and easy to handle. Love it.

P320 Compact is one of the best looking guns. Can't wait to rent it. I have VP9SK and love it.

I'm not a big polymer Sig fan, but more to their all steel Sig Sauer 226 style. Another great video KS

Miss your awesome videos! Hope all is well, happy Thanksgiving

Was looking for exactly this!

Fantastic review!

Had the opportunity to handle the The X-Compact at my local shop on 2 separate occasions (different ones for those wondering), and the trigger issues you mentioned on your initial vid were present on both: longer than expected creep on the break, and a much longer reset than expected. Having owned an X-Carry, I expected the same break and reset. However, I feel like the trigger is the same as a standard 320 with a flat-faced shoe. It almost feels luke I need to buy a X-Carry and wait for the X-Compact grip modules to be available, or wait another 3-6 months for Sig to address the trigger. Other than that, the grip module fit perfectly in my hands and I was impressed with it. But I'd be lying if I said the trigger had me second guessing a purchase, and going back to an X-carry. TLDR: Trigger is questionable imo. I suggest an X-Carry and wait for an X-Compact grip module to swap out.

Thank you best comparison I was set on 320 compact & you help me be even more sure. I kind like lighter more compact guns like VP9SK 320 compact is what I like 👍🏻

Great,, Just what I needed... Always wanted a side-by-side...Hope to HAVE both-using a MINIMAL conversion.. Thanks

Thanks for the comparrisons of these 2 excellent sidearms. From a Carry Conceal point of view I would want the one that has the smaller overall footprint. I believe that was the compact.

The round count it’s important thanks for telling us the difference I have the p320 the old module and I wanted the x module but I din’t know which grip would be compatible with my stock 17 round mags! Till I saw your video! So thanks I know I need the xcarry module

The x compact looks really nice for me. Might have to check one out

Im so in love with the way the x-compact looks. I just cant get over the cost, quality control issues that sig has, and the red dot mount they went with.

Just picked up a new X Carry. Coyote with a digicam slide. One of a kind, my favorite gun I’ve owned

It’s crazy that this video was made exactly a year ago the day I decide to attempt and finalize my first Sig, I think I’m going to go XFive Legion. Nice vid bro, definitely helped me finalized my decision.

I love my XCompact. I cut the X5 grip module to fit my XCompact slide. Then I took it to shoot a USPSA match. Ran great. You can see the video on my site. Great video. Great close up look at the two guns. Keep up the good work.

It's official, I love them both.

These are built to be modular. You can buy either a full size or compact grip for either. As you demonstrated the slide fits on either. The only thing you really need to do is figure out which slide you want and you can then have BOTH guns by swapping the trigger group from 1 to the other.

The small milled slot behind the barrel on the X Carry, is a chambered round indicator.

Great review!!

I'm pretty much Ruger, but in my younger years, so very many years ago, I was pretty much Remington, but I also liked Mossberg; what can I say, I took after my dad who only trusted American. I don't recall where I found you, I think I saw KS and decided that I, as a fellow Kansan, even though I'm hurtling towards #70, might learn something from you. I think the reason I like Ruger was that, after I was disabled in 2003, and quit daily carrying my trusty old H&R Model 929 nine shot 22LR revolver with a 6 inch barrel, and then was assaulted in 2009 by a couple of punks, I had gone to Cabela's in Wichita to buy a couple of carry pistols. I liked the look, size, and feel of the LC9, so I bought two ... and one LCP. Later, I decided that I wanted something a little different. The only complaint I had about the LCP and LC9's was that the trigger pull was kind of long, so I bought two Ruger SR9Cs ... and an SR9. Now you need to understand that that I was raised on a farm and after graduating Kansas State, along with my wife, we settled in Great Bend, where she taught Jr. High math and I worked in radio. We never liked living in the "city," so when her granddad had to be placed in a nursing home, her dad, who also lived on his granddad's homestead on the Santa Fe Trail, was stewing over what he should do with his dad's house. The house was approaching 100 years old and was last remodeled in 1916. The roof was due to be replaced, the plumbing was mostly iron pipe, there were two floor furnaces and a wall heater on the main floor and nothing upstairs, there were seven (7) fused electrical circuits ... and one unfused circuit with NO shut-off, and had so many layers of peeling wallpaper. My wife and I never liked living in town, so we talked it over and decided to ask her dad if we could buy her granddad's house. He was shocked and, at the same time, relieved that we wanted to live there, but my wife wanted to make sure I was okay with living only about 100 feet from her parents. After three years of hard work the house was remodeled enough for us to move in on the main floor while we finished the upstairs. We moved in in 1976 and that fall I rented some farm ground and started farming. Two years later her uncle died and his widow wanted us to buy their farm. So you can see that money was pretty tight, but we were living on a farm and were farmers. We had an overabundance of rabbits at the time because the coyote hunters had done a bang-up job of thinning the coyotes ... a little too thin to me. I had received a Remington Nylon 12 bolt action rifle for Christmas in 1963, and that was my only weapon, but I couldn't see carrying it with me on my tractor, so I decided I would buy a rifle with a wood stock, but I ended up with a H&R Model 929 nine shot 22LR revolver with a 6 inch barrel and a great Hunter holster for 79 bucks. I wore my revolver on my hip all of the time, especially when I was working ground on my old John Deere 3010 tractor, without a cab, and I would shoot rabbits on the run with my trusty pistol, then my three legged Beagle would pick them up and carry them home to bury until they were ripe. Rascal could catch them for himself, but he never turned down one that I shot. I got good at shooting, especially because when I was frustrated, upset, or angry, which seemed to be often, I would head out to the big trash pile on our farm and I would shoot bottles and cans until I felt better. I got real good point shooting. I was shooting rabbits on the run while still running the tractor down the field, and I could usually hit them on the first shot. I loved watching them crumple up and roll when they were hit. I quit wearing my pistol all the time after I was disabled and I doubt that the punks would have bothered me in 2009 if I had had my pistol on my hip. Lesson learned and that was when I bought my first two handguns for personal defense. I carried concealed after that, but I didn't get a Concealed Carry Permit until after Kansas passed Constitutional Carry. I only got it then because I ride down past OKC with a son-in-law fairly frequently and I wanted to make sure I was legal in Oklahoma. So now you know too damn much about me, but at least you will know where I'm coming from. Also, since I was assaulted I haven't been able to stop buying guns. It's not a voluntary thing. I can go for several months and suddenly I'll see a gun and I see a need. My wife says that I hoard guns like she hoards fabric ... and she has a LOT of fabric, but I think I might have more guns. I've lost count. My youngest granddaughter came in today, jumped on my lap while I was in my recliner, and told me that I have too many guns and she was going to take them. I told her that she couldn't because when I kick the bucket her daddy would get a fourth of them ... each kid gets a fourth. Some of my guns are very special to me and I hope I can get them all together sometime so I can tell them about them, like the Remington Model 11 shotgun, manufactured in September 1926, that my Okie Grandpa Adams sold to me in 1980 because he had heart trouble and needed the money, but he always wanted me to have it because he knew that I loved hunting pheasant. He didn't know that Kansas finally had deer and a deer season and he sold his deer rifle to a friend. Anyway, his dad gave him that shotgun brand new in 1926 and it was one of the few things saved when his house burned to the ground in the early 1950's. I think, from the looks of it, that he kept it in his pickup, but I know that he used the heck out of it because the blue is completely gone from the barrel and there are only a few spots on the stock that still have a hint of finish. He was a tall man, but he had cut an inch off of the stock that I had to add back on. I miss that old man. Anyway, I've rattled on long enough. Take care of yourself, especially your back and knees. Let me know if you want to come out for opening weekend of pheasant season. My youngest brother comes in from Virginia with some friends and some of my kids come home then, too. I don't get out to walk the fields, though I dearly wish I could, but I do sometimes block the end of the shelterbelts and tree rows. Till then, keep your barrel clean.

You answered so many questions!

This video was super helpful to me, thank you. I had not held either, but based on this video I was leaning towards the XCompact. My Glock 17 is a bit large for my hands, so want to swap it. Called a gun shop yesterday and they told me they had the XCompact in stock, so I drove 40 minutes to check it out. When I held it, it didn't feel as small as I was expecting and I was disappointed. After 10 minutes of playing with it I noticed that the mag inside had a 17 capacity marking. I told the shop employee that didn't make sense to me because the XCompact mag has 15. He said 'huh' and scratched his head. I got on Sig's website on my phone and showed him the specs. Turns out he was showing me an XCarry and didn't know it. They didn't have the XCompact in stock after all. Luckily there was another gun shop 10 minutes away who said they had it when I called from this shop. I drove to the new shop which was much nicer and their inventory was on the walls and clearly marked. I then held the XCompact and it was perfect for my hand. Those 3 and 3.5 mm grip length differences feel quite different in the hand. I have decided I will buy the XCompact as soon as I sell my G17, which I'm listing for sale today. Thanks again for your video as it was exactly the info I needed. Beware of shop employees that lack knowledge and educate yourself before purchasing anything. FYI folks, I have the p365 and just ordered a SAS slide directly from Sig which arrives in 2 days. It's different from the slide that comes the p365 SAS gun in that it is not vented, so it'll go with the non-vented barrel in the standard p365. I don't like the vents on the SAS gun or the screwdriver operated take down slide, so a great alternative for me.

Excellent review! Love the detail and all under 8 minutes. I was leaning towards the Glock 5th gen but one of these Sigs will be my first gun. I saw another video it revealed that you can change this entire gun up. Can you actually change the caliber of these two guns? Thank You very much Sir.

I miss my XCompact… had to sell it to pay for a transfer case. I think I’m gonna get an XCarry next. Thanks for the video.

Have both, love both.

Sounds like we don’t have to choose, can just buy the compact and buy a carry grip module. That is very cool. Maybe conceal the xcompact, and your spare mag can be the carry mag.

Nice video! I bought the X Compact. Waiting for my holster to come in.

Thanks for doing this video! I have been trying to decide on one of these guns. I had the subcompact with the xgrip and 15 round mag, but didn't like the grip angle. I ended up selling it. The grip angle on the xcompact seems so much different. My only wish would be they would allow for a holosun 507 red dot.

Bout to get a p320 x full but will son be looking at the x compact. Have a G45 and really turning into a sig fan. Love how easy it is to manipulate the slide as well. Glock slides seem to be quite stiff, although they reciprocate incredibly.

I conceal carry the x carry. Love the gun. Also like access to 21 round mags that fit it. But not the compact. But a great all around gun.

I was already sold and this video was confirmation to go ahead and grab the 320 XCompact.

Have the carry model and love it and now considering the Wilson/Sig P320. Like to see a comparison of the standard Sig vs the Wilson Combat version.

The x carry just fits like a glove

Even I as a Glock guy, admits that the p320 x compact is badass. So much so, I purchased one to keep in rotation. Solid firearm 👌🏾just recently found your channel by the way, you got a new sub, love the channel.

Interested in both, either will be a nice addition to the collection.

Thanks for the video. Very informative while not overly verbose. Do you know if a holster for the Carry will work without issue for the Compact?

I don’t know if you noticed but the grip angle is also different. The x compact is closer to that 90 and is why u get that tighter grip. Love the video

I went to my local gun shop to pick up a long wanted Beretta compact in Inox, and they had the xcompact with the stainless slide and black frame on sale for $569... It was sweet. Felt good in the hand and actually beautiful for a polymer gun. I was tempted to leave the beretta since they were the same price.

The one right for me is the 92G Elite LTT. Thanks for the vid.

Will get them both. Great guns

Another great video. X carry professional is what you seek. I like the X compact frame for my RX compact slide. Wish they would come out with that.

Well K.S., I guess last nights chat pushed me over the edge. I bought the P320 x compact today. I am "behind enemy lines" in Maryland, so it will be a week before I get it. Cheers!

Awesome video, highly informative... subbed 4 sure! Thx

Good video was wondering how the slide fit on the compact frame. Another difference is the rail. The rail on the compact doesn’t support larger lights like the X300.

The thumb closer to the slide stop can cause the slide to lock back while shooting. Especially on older p320's.

I just bought the compact version yesterday and installed the Romeo 1 Pro. I was looking for an rx, but those are pretty hard to find. I chose the compact over the carry because I just didn't like the proportions of the carry. The longer grip just plain bothers me. The longer grip also makes it more difficult to conceal, but living in Florida I probably won't carry it too much. My P365 will get that task.

I have and carry an OG P320 compact, and love it, but I'm also super curious about the X compact

I have smaller hands (for a man) so I should get the x compact. Great video Thank you sir.

I bought the xcompact and have just been loving it. The carry frame was too big for my hands or at least my preference. But I would love to get that exact Xcarry slide as secondary slide set.

XCompact for me. Nice do it all size gun.

definitely interested in the X-Compact!

X-compact is more evolved and refined. Might very well be the best hand fit, feel, and balance of any gun in its class. Got to get one.

Very nice pistols. I really like the carry.

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on "upgrading" a P320 RX with an "X" grip module and the Sig P320 Flat trigger to see how that might stack-up to the X Compact / X Carry. The P320 RX should offer the BUIS over the other two options (that seem to lose their sights with an installed RDS).
