![]() ![]() I’m certainly not going to complain about a carry gun that weighs less than its spec. If you look at the specs on SIG’s website, you’ll see the gun by itself is supposed to weigh 20.7 ounces. The weight of my sample, according to a digital scale, was 19 ounces with the Romeo Zero onboard and an empty mag in the gun. My sample didn’t come with the certificate and coin, so I wasn’t able to include them in the photographs. ![]() The Spectre also comes with a certificate of authenticity and a challenge coin-à la the company’s Legion guns. Extended 15-round mags are available from SIG. The Spectre ships with two 12-round magazines with flush-fit base plates and witness holes at 5 and 12. The barrel is not ported, so you’re not getting recoil reduction from these cuts, but with the lighter reciprocating weight of the slide, you do get less muzzle rise. The X Series slide has an “X” pattern machined into the top, and in the right and left outboard sides of the “X” you’ll find lightening cuts. The triangular mag release button is unchanged. The X Series frame sports a more generous beavertail than that on the original P365. Being an old fuddy-duddy, I wasn’t sure what to make of the concept, so my wife explained distressed to me this way: “It looks beat-up on purpose.” The slide is cut for SIG’s Romeo Zero sight as well as RMSC’s red dot. It’s a black finish applied to the Custom Works stainless steel X Series slide, and it has “worn” spots. First is the finish, which SIG calls “distressed.” You’d be forgiven if you thought distressed applied only to clothing fashion, but the principle is the same. Two of these upgrades jump right out at you. But with the Spectre version you get additional upgrades, similar to what the firm did with its Legion series of guns. It’s an evolutionary gun, adopting the frame size and barrel length of the P365 XL as well as the optics-ready slide found on both the P365 XL and P365 X. And because SIG knows a good thing when it sees it, the company was quick to capitalize on the P365’s quick success by trotting out new versions. ![]() The SIG Sauer P365 was a trendsetter, ushering in the era of the “micro-compact” pistol-super-small semiautos with capacities rivaling those of larger carry guns. ![]()
