The new P365XL Spectre Comp from SIG Sauer brings an exciting new technology to one of America’s most-popular micro-compact pistols. The gun has a new Custom Works designed slide with an integrated compensator that reduces muzzle flip and felt recoil by up to 30 percent. The P365XL Spectre Comp offers all the benefits of a compensated pistol in a reliable, concealable, everyday carry package.

The Spectre family of pistols is the pinnacle of performance in the SIG Custom Works polymer lineup. The pistols in the Spectre lineup feature laser stippled grip modules, Titanium Nitride gold barrels and triggers and custom-designed slides for a perfect blend of functionality and good looks. Every Spectre series pistol comes standard with XRay3 day/night sights, flat XSeries triggers and is optics-ready right out of the box. Every model comes standard with two magazines, a SIG Custom Works coin and a certified custom certificate.

The P365XL Spectre Comp features an XSeries LXG laser stippled grip module, and a Custom Works slide exclusive to this model, with updated cocking serrations giving the pistol a unique look with the Titanium Nitride gold barrel and trigger. But, what makes the Spectre Comp truly stand out is its integrated compensator. Not only does it reduce muzzle flip by nearly 30 percent, but it also can never come loose or cause function issues, because of its uniquely integrated construction with the slide. In addition, with an optic-ready slide and rear dovetail sight, an installed new Romeo Zero Elite optic can be co-witnessed with suppressor height sights. The P365XL Spectre Comp offers all the benefits of a compensated pistol in a reliable, concealable, everyday carry package.
