Sig Sauer on Tuesday introduced a new variant of their P365XL longslide micro 9, complete with the company's Spectre treatment.

The SIG Custom Works P365XL Spectre Comp takes the familiar 9mm polymer-framed pistol, adds a laser stippled XSERIES grip module and gold flat trigger, then blends it with an optics-ready slide that includes an integrated compensator that can't work loose, a titanium nitride gold barrel, and X-RAY 3 day/night sights. That checks a lot of boxes when it comes to both looks and performance. 
 

"The custom-designed slide and gold features of the P365XL Spectre Comp make this latest addition to the Spectre series noticeably distinct," said Tom Taylor, Sig's CMO and executive vice president for commercial sales. "However, the true standout feature of the P365XL Spectre Comp is the uniquely integrated compensator that reduces muzzle flip and felt recoil by up to 30 percent, and because of the design will never come loose or cause function issues. The P365XL Spectre Comp offers all the benefits of a compensated pistol in a reliable, concealable, everyday carry package."

The SIG Custom Works P365XL Spectre Comp ships with three 10 or 12-round steel magazines depending on state restrictions and comes with a Custom Works case, coin, and certificate of authenticity. Sig has run models of the P365XL before, introducing one late last year along with a more full-sized P320, but this new model is the first with a comp.
