Def Hershey's syrup!Sorry to say… Chocolate bar
Customizing my SIG P 365

- Start date
Arthritic hands. A good defense lawyer will bat that crap out of the box.
I went the route with the MCarbo backplate upgrade. I had over a few years after starting with a small standard 365, gotten an xl slide, and then another side for a green dot sight. Installation of two of the backplates was a breeze, just be careful not to launch that small spring and plunger that secures the backplate. One slide was not drilled so the backplate could not be installed. I ended up taking it along with one that was drilled to my gunsmith so he could drill, actually he said it was so hard he had to set things up and mill that tiny cavity. He did comment that the MCarbo unit was a much better set up than the factory striker with that flimsy plastic tab. I did pick up a couple of extra springs/plungers in case of a ballistic launch.

Did you get the TI striker as well?

No, only black and red. SIG's stuff comes in Rose Gold and other colors. I've certainly seen gold stuff from other aftermarket firms.Do they come in Gold?

Probably not news to anyone, but the 12 round mags adapted for the original P365 are easily converted to use with the XL frame by removal of the "extension sleeve", replacing the end plate results in a serviceable flush magazine, although a slightly protruding end plate (which are available) would be preferable for positive seating under stress. Notice the slight magwell flair of the WC grip module.
But these will suffice until I eventually get a couple of Magguts +2 conversions for these two magazine after I get all the MCARBO goodies down the line.

Upon further reflection, I think I'll get the Magguts +2 conversions sooner than later and for all four of my 12 round magazines. Although I haven't shot with the mags with the Pierce pinky extensions yet, but I don't like how they print when CC and how my extra mag pokes me with the pinky extension.
Yes, when they first introduced it and the price was much better than now.

^ They are rather proud of their Ti striker and end plate setup!
Have you seen the milled mischief machine lowers?

I'm good with the cheap polymer grip frames, gives me more money to spend on upgrades that make a significant difference on how the gun shoots. If money were no object, then sure, why not? But I'll already be spending the cost of another gun once I get all the goodies I want without the cost of a milled grip frame. If money were no object, I'd probably get a different gun , but which one I couldn't tell you.

M*CARBO extended magazine release inbound as well!
What’s the word on magguts +2 reliability and dependability?

I don't have any personal experience nor any first hand anecdotal reports. Online reports seem positive.

I shot my P 365 X conversion in a bowling pin match today. I like the grip frame just fine. I saw no benefit with the Pierce pinky extension magazine base pads and no downside with the flush base plates from the original magazine configuration for the P 365 subcompact.

M*CARBO flat trigger and extended mag release installed. Also the spring kit. Sill using the OEM striker, but with the M*CARBO 4 lb striker spring. Not sure what the OEM spring is, maybe 5 lbs.? Resultant trigger pull averages 3 lb., 8 oz. OEM trigger pull was 6 lb., 4 oz. average. Can't wait to shoot it, the reset is ridiculously short!
Close up of extended mag release. I thought that I may have to releave the grip module under the extended mag release, but the "paddle" is very thin and works just fine as is.
Two sets of Magguts_+2 magazine extensions inbound. May order two more later.

Shot the P 365 today with it's new trigger and springs, very different than what I'm used to. It will take a while to fully get used to. I need to work on catching the short reset so as to be able to make quicker follow up shots. But that will come in time, no complaints at all with the trigger. A couple of glitches with the magguts converted magazines, a failure to feed once and a premature lock back of the slide while still having bullets in the magazine. I think the springs just need to be broken in some more and the problems will resolve themselves.
