A [Quick] Guide To The Best SIG P365 XL Holsters

In 2018, SIG Sauer Inc. shocked the world with their brand new, state-of-the-art carry gun - the SIG P365. At the very first look, the pistol seemed nearly perfect. However, there was something the pistol was missing - it wasn't optics-ready and it has no rail for attachment of tactical lights and lasers.

That's why SIG Sauer decided to build an "upgraded" version of their concealed carry flagship.

Thus, in 2019, the SIG Sauer P365 XL came to existence. Unlike its predecessor, the XL model is slightly larger and it's equipped with both accessory rail and an optics-ready slide. But there's much more to this SIG model and if you want to find out what that is, check out our recent SIG P365XL review, available here.

Even in 2021, you can hardly get a carry gun offering more utility than SIG P365XL. However, it's possible to make this gun even better. How? Well, the answer is quite simple - with a custom made SIG Sauer P365 XL holster.
