Sharps Bros - Gen 3 Grip Module for P365 XMacro - OD Green

The Sharps Bros Gen 3 Grip Module offers significant improvements over the standard polymer grip. It features a billet 7075-T6 Aluminum frame that enhances durability and shooting performance. The grip module also includes enhanced trigger-guard geometry and undercut finger grooves, providing superior comfort and control. Additionally, the more aggressive grip panel texturing and redesigned steel lug system contribute to a more secure and ergonomic handling experience.

The OD Green Cerakote finish on the Sharps Bros Gen 3 Grip Module provides both aesthetic and functional benefits. This finish offers a unique look that can complement various firearm setups while also providing a durable and corrosion-resistant surface. Cerakote is known for its ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions, making it an excellent choice for those who require a reliable grip module in diverse settings.

The Sharps Bros Gen 3 Grip Module is designed to be a direct replacement for the Sig Sauer OEM standard polymer P365 X Macro grip module. It is compatible with any model P365 XL or X Macro slide. However, it is important to note that the Fire Control Unit and magazine release assembly are not included, and the module will not work with the Manual Safety FCU. Additionally, due to the integrated thumb ledges, most existing Kydex holsters may require minor heat reforming for a proper fit.

The redesigned steel lug system in the Sharps Bros Gen 3 Grip Module enhances its structural integrity and reliability. Made from heat-treated 4140 steel, this system provides a robust connection between the grip module and the firearm, ensuring consistent performance even under heavy use. This improvement is particularly beneficial for those who engage in frequent shooting sessions or tactical training.

The ambidextrous thumb ledges on the Sharps Bros Gen 3 Grip Module offer significant ergonomic benefits. These ledges provide natural indexing points for both hands, improving grip stability and control. This feature is particularly advantageous for shooters who use both hands interchangeably or for left-handed users who often face challenges with standard grip designs. The thumb ledges enhance comfort and ensure a consistent hand position during shooting.

The flared magazine well on the Sharps Bros Gen 3 Grip Module is designed to facilitate faster and more efficient magazine changes. By providing a wider opening, it guides the magazine into place more easily, reducing the likelihood of fumbling during high-pressure situations. This feature is particularly beneficial for competitive shooters or those who prioritize quick reloads in tactical scenarios.

Choosing a billet aluminum grip module like the Sharps Bros Gen 3 over a polymer one involves certain trade-offs. Aluminum offers superior durability and a more substantial feel, which can enhance shooting performance and longevity. However, it is typically heavier than polymer, which may affect the overall weight of the firearm. Users must balance the enhanced durability and ergonomic benefits against the potential increase in weight, depending on their specific needs and preferences.

The inclusion of an M1913 Picatinny rail on the Sharps Bros Gen 3 Grip Module significantly enhances its versatility. This rail allows users to attach a variety of accessories, such as lights and lasers, to customize their firearm for different scenarios. Whether for home defense, tactical training, or competition, the ability to easily add accessories can improve both functionality and performance.

When selecting a holster for the Sharps Bros Gen 3 Grip Module, users should consider the impact of the integrated thumb ledges. These ledges may require minor heat reforming of most existing Kydex holsters to ensure a proper fit. It's important to choose a holster that accommodates the grip module's unique design while providing secure retention and easy accessibility. Testing the fit and function with your specific setup is recommended before relying on it in critical situations.

The Sharps Bros Gen 3 Grip Module is 1.3 inches wide, which provides a more substantial feel without sacrificing concealability. This width offers a balance between a comfortable grip and the ability to conceal the firearm effectively. While it may be slightly bulkier than some polymer options, the ergonomic benefits and enhanced control can outweigh the minor increase in size for many users. Proper holster selection and clothing choices can further mitigate any concealment concerns.
