One of the major features of the Sig Sauer P365 micro-compact pistol is the grip modules that allow you to turn this handgun into more than just a micro-compact concealed carry gun.
The P365 did two things. It unseated Glock as the most popular compact CCW and it launched a new era of the micro-compact, if you get that version.
Even if you just go with the Sig OEM parts, you can get 9 different versions. They range from the micro with 10+1 carry to a full size at 21+1.
The OEM versions range from the standard pistol version to a grip module with a folding brace and a 2nd magazine carry in the frame.

Here are the top grip mods for the P365 fans.
Strike Industries Enhanced
The best part of the Strike Industries grip is the built-in thumb rest, similar to the after-market Gas Pedal device, on each side. A rest is a place to brace your thumb when shooting.
Downward pressure keeps the muzzle flip down. That means you get back on target faster.
If you shoot tournaments where speed is a factor, this will help shorten your shot times.
The mag well is flared.
Coming in black, FDE and grey, the Strike Industries Enhanced grip mod offers a stipple pattern grip on the palm swell, the sides and part of the grip front.
The trigger guard has very slight grooves. If an accessory needs extra stability on the guard, this will do it. It has a 2-slot pic rail.
Pros:
- Can work with the OEM manual safety
- Fits mags up to 17 rounds
Cons:
- Some fitting needed for the manual safety
- Some shooters find stippling uncomfortable
Before hitting the range, make sure you understand how to zero a red dot sight for optimal accuracy.
Mirzon
The Mirzon polymer stands apart from the rest of the crowd for the grip and the trigger guard. The grip has a textured palm swell and a textured finger grip on the front. This makes getting and holding the gun easier.
A better grip means more control for the gun as well.
The trigger guard has cuts on the bottom and front. You may be able to find lasers or lights that will use these slots for more stability. These trigger guard cuts just make a lot of sense for accessories.
The grip also features a large mag release button. In speed trial tournaments, that is appreciated.
The grip has an extended beaver tail and pic rails on the underside.
This grip is available for the standard and XL P365.
Pros:
- Pic rail
- Aggressive texturing
Cons:
- Only works with X-Macro holsters
Wilson Combat WCP365
Wilson Combat produces high-end 1911s. The company is so impressed with the P365 that they are making grip mods. The WCP365 is one of several.
Their mod fits the standard, XL, X and X-Macro.
Wilson has unique features as well. The X-Macro short lets you have an X-Macro grip length (longer) on a standard P365 code.
A slot in the rear allows you to add weights to the gun. More weight = less recoil. The downside is more weight. Balancing the tradeoff is a personal decision.
The grip has aggressive texturing. It is in a sunburst pattern. That makes no difference when you are holding the gun. It is just there for appearances.
The mod has cuts on the front but no pic rail.
This version's mag well has cuts in the grip on each side. This makes pulling a mag much easier as you have more of the mag to grab when you pull.
It comes in two colors. The tan has no manual safety. The black version comes with or without a manual safety.
Some people like a manual safety on a CCW and some people do not.
Pros:
- Compatible with standard holsters
- Big palm swell for large hands
Cons:
- Big grip not suited to small hands
- Mag release is curved

Tyrant CNC Snub Nose
The changeable palm swell on the back of the grip will appeal to shooters who want to adapt the gun to their hand. Sometimes you just need that for a better grip.
The grip will fit any length P365 slide. Be aware that if you opt for the longer versions, the slide will extend past the end of the grip.
The grip has a fairly aggressive texture.
It does not have a pic rail, but has a groove on each side of the front. You can mount accessories that do not need a pic rail.
Looking at the grip, you might think you can cut pic rails into it. Maybe. The grip does not have the same depth as mods with the built-in pic rail slots. Try to cut rails, and you may jeopardize the integrity of the front.
If you must have a pic rail, this is not the grip mod for you.
Colors:
- Grey
- FDE
- Black
- OD GReen
Pros:
- Compatible with standard P365 holsters
- Holds any P365 slide
Cons:
- One grip length
- No pic rail
CAA Micro Conversion
If you are a fan of the micro conversion kits for handguns, CAA offers the kit for the P365. This is similar to the OEM offered by Sig.
The CAA Micro runs on the standard 35, the X and XL. Installation is fast and the handgun comes out quickly as well.
It has a brace with an actual forearm strap. It uses flip-up sights. It has a mag holder in the front and a flashlight well.
It comes in tungsten and OD green.
Pros:
- Micro conversion kit
Cons:
- Limited fit models
Sharp Brothers
If you are a fan of metal instead of polymer, the Sharps Brothers offer you an anodized aluminum grip.
It comes in black with cherry wood grip panels or FDE with wenge (a heavy African wood) grip panels. The panels are textured. The rest of the grip is smooth metal.
The metal grip is tougher than polymer. At the same time, it adds weight to the gun. More weight will reduce recoil.
Polymer also absorbs some recoil. Metal does not give and transmits all the force to the hand.
Metal v. polymer is a trade-off that is a personal decision. You decide which you like best.
Aluminum is more resistant to the elements than blued steel and less resistant than polymer. Aluminum also wears faster than steel and slower than polymer.
Pros:
- Metal
Cons:
- Metal adds weight
Icarus Precision Air Polymer X
Icarus Precision offers 11 versions of the Air Polymer X. Some have a pic rail. Some do not. Some have space for the manual safety and others do not.
The grip is textured on the side with tiny raised bumps. The back and front are grooved. The side panels have a slight cut for a thumb rest.
Your thumb on that ledge helps control muzzle flip. You can get back on target faster. This version of the thumb rest is not as pronounced as others.
The mag well is flared for easy mag replacement. This grip mod is only for the 17-round mags or the state-compliant versions.
It fits the XL and standard length slides. Shorter ones will leave the dust guard sticking out beyond the barrel unless a compensator is also installed.
The trigger guard is beefy.
Pros:
- Proprietary reinforced polymer
- Thumb rest
- Huge flare on mag well
Cons:
- Limited fit
S300 Hybrid
The S300 is designed for the smallest mag. The mag well has cuts on each side to make mag changes easier. You have more of the magazine to grab when you start pulling.
At 6.88 inches long, this is meant for the compact models. It has a pic rail on the underside.
It will handle the full-sized slides. It holds mags up to the 15-round versions.
The grip has a unique pattern. A series of the number 2 are arranged in groups of 4 that are placed over a stipple pattern.
Pros:
- Lifetime warranty
- Fits wide selection of P365s
- Fits all standard P365 holsters
Cons:
- Limited mag selection

Timber Creek Sig Sauer P365 X
If color is your thing, the Timber Creek grip mod is for you. Choose from burnt bronze, red, purple, tungsten, blue and the usual suspects black, OD green and FDE.
This does come with some restrictions not found in other models.
You must use a 17-round mag or bigger. It only fits the X-Macro
Pros:
- Large color selection
Cons:
- Limited selection
FINAL THOUGHTS
The Sig P365 is a highly versatile handgun. Being able to customize it with aftermarket accessories like grips is a major reason for the popularity.
Grip modules are one of the 3 main things you can change and they are the easiest. You can change the barrel and the slide too, but that is a bit more work.
If you get a P365 and want to use it for an everyday carry, then you need the most comfortable grip you can get. If the OEM grip is just not quite right, consider one of these options.
Good shooting.
