Each of them comes with its features, pros & cons. Let's get through all of them whether you're a new owner of a P365 X-Macro or just looking to upgrade your carry setup. I hope that after reading this you will make an informed decision that enhances your daily carry and confidence.
P365 X-Macro IWB Holster
X Macro is larger because of its new features, however, it is still perfect for concealed carry. My advice with this carry method would be to go for a P365 X Macro IWB holster equipped with a claw. It will keep a larger grip snug against your body.
Thanks to the thin profile of XMacro you do not have to wear too much looser clothing. However, this depends also on your body and you should try it out yourselves.
The Sig P365 X Macro appendix holster worked for me better than a canted 4 o'clock because of its aggressive grip texture. In the end, I decided on the P365 XMacro IWB holster A908 L. More on this holster later.
SIG P365 X-Macro OWB Holster
My mission with the P365 X Macro OWB holster was clear and I am sure it will be around the same for you. I was looking for a P365 X Macro holster with light that would be open top for my training at the range. Since this carry method isn't famous for concealed carry, I decided on the straight-on-the-hip cant as it provides faster draws.
This worked well for me, but your situation might be different. If you are searching for a concealed carry OWB Holster for Sig P365 X Macro, I recommend going for cant. This feature hides the grip of the P365 X-Macro better.
Go ahead and take a look at Falco's lineup of Sig P365 X-Macro OWB holsters. You will easily find the one that fulfills all your requests thanks to the extensive configuration options.
SIG P365 X-Macro Shoulder Holster
P365 X Macro is not a heavy pistol, however, I wear quite a lot of layers of clothing during the winter. This made draws from my IWB slow & impractical. I could easily use an OWB and be happy, but I couldn't hold myself. I wanted to spice up my carry with something new & comfortable.
A P365 XMacro shoulder holsters distribute the weight of your firearm across your shoulders. In my case, this ended up with a surprisingly comfortable carry experience. Since I have my XMacro equipped with light I went for D131.
With Falco shoulder holsters, you can choose from a number of counterbalances & shoulder harnesses. Not speaking about all the configuration options that will make the Xmacro shoulder holster truly yours. Overall, it's an excellent choice for colder months.
Choosing The Right Material Of P365 XMacro Holster
Differences in holster materials are essential knowledge to well-rounded P365 X-Macro owners. However, there are also new & less experienced gun owners among us. I summarized these options below so that it will help you get an idea of how each Sig Sauer P365 X Macro holster performs.
P365 X Macro Leather Holster
Leather adds comfort, a classic look & silent draw to your daily carry of Sig Sauer P365 X Macro holster. On the other hand, it requires regular maintenance so it lasts you for decades.
I regularly rotate between my guns & holsters. Once I opt for a leather holster for a day, it is always Falcos timeless A122. I am a fan of its steel clip, stability, and premium leather comfort that no other material can deliver.
Kydex P365X Macro Holster
Kydex is a material often seen in the car and aircraft industry. P365 XMacro owners appreciate it for its sturdiness & lightness. The Kydex Sig Sauer P365 X-Macro holster might last longer without any regular maintenance. Its huge con is that it might wear out the finish on your P365 XMacro.
I see that polymer & Kydex holsters are nowadays the norm and I have nothing against it. Its advantages are undeniable. However, XMacro in Europe costs a left kidney and I would not like to wear slides finish off too soon. I decided to stick with the following compromise.
Hybrid P365 X Macro Holster
Hybrid holsters, typically made of a fusion of leather & Kydex, are the favorite option for many. They combine the good features of leather with the good features of Kydex. In the end, you can look forward to a holster more silent than Kydex, sturdy, with good retention & comfort of the leather itself.
I already mentioned A908 L in the section with the Sig P365 X Macro IWB holster. It works as designed. It's comfortable everywhere I go & whatever I do.
So far, I haven't noticed any signs of wear & tear on my slide. Its slim clips hold well to the belt & retention is just right. I highly recommend this holster to all P365 X Macro owners.
Sig P365 Macro Holster - Retention Options
Retention on your XMacro holster is solely your decision. You should know how many levels of retention you need before you make a purchase. I made a quick overview of the most common retention options, to give you a better overview.

Passive Retention |
Relies on the natural fit and friction between the holster and P365 X Macro. Sometimes adjustable via retention screws for customization of retention. |

Level 2 |
Combines passive retention with an additional active mechanism, such as a thumb break, to offer better security. |

Best Holster For Sig P365 - Combining Concealment & Comfort
If you are reading this, you are definitely looking for advice on the best holster for Sig P365 X Macro. For a start, you should know that choosing the right p365 macro holster means balancing concealment and comfort.
The best holsters for Sig P365 XMacro are subjective creatures that live only in our minds. This means what works for me might not for you. The best holster has to tick a mark on multiple aspects only for you. It is quite complicated, so I summed up everything I learned during my career in the following points.
- Body type - I once heard that everybody should conceal where they are the widest. This is not necessarily true, but your body type will tell you what positions around the belt are possible and which aren't.
- Position - Once you find out which positions might work you should try them all. Ideally somewhere where you have access to various holsters. For example gun shop. You will find out what position is better for concealment & which is better for comfort.
- Holster design - Please bear in mind that you might achieve different results with different holsters. Everything is about the thickness of the material, clips, position of clips & features like a claw. If you dont know what claw is, it pushes the grip of your X-Macro snugly against your body and provides better concealment.
- Material - As you learned in the above section, pick the material based on your preferences for comfort & concealment.
- Clothing - Shirts or T-shirts that are one size larger than your regular size can make wonders.
- Belt - I use a leather gun belt K102 and a nylon belt K703 based on the holster I am currently wearing. The right belt makes a difference and you should always wear a sturdy gun belt that supports the weight of your X Macro holster. In case you are not planning on wearing a belt make sure to check out belly bands for concealed carry.
From my experience, concealing Sig Sauer P365 X-Macro is not that complicated. This gives you more freedom to focus on a comfortable holster for Sig P365 or to fine tune concealed carry game to perfection.
Sig P365 XMacro Holster Compatibility
Having a compatible & perfectly fitting Sig P365X Macro holster is crucial. You definitely do not want it to be loose or too tight as it affects your safety. The SIG Sauer P365, P365 X-Macro, and P365 XL showcase variations in dimensions that significantly affect holster fit.
I measured differences in length and width, but the rail on the P365 X-Macro is different too. This means a holster for one model would not work for another, leading to potential safety risks. I recommend opting for a custom holster crafted specifically for your P365 XMacro. Thanks to this you will ensure flawless & safe use of the holster.
Conclusion
Selecting the right Sig X Macro holster includes understanding your personal preferences & knowing the design of your XMacro. However, balancing concealment with comfort is just as important. Whether you choose a leather, Kydex, nylon, or hybrid holster, prioritize safety and fit. With the Falco holster configured to your needs, you can carry confidently, knowing your firearm is secure and accessible.
