SIG Sauer is expanding its Custom Works line of premium handguns with the new P365XL Spectre Comp chambered for 9mm Luger. Built on their popular everyday carry P365XL, the Spectre includes features that make it just as comfortable at a match as it is on the nightstand or in the waistband.
Like all P365 pistols, the P365XL Spectre Comp is a micro-compact, the hottest class of handguns on the market today. These guns carry as much ammunition as subcompact pistols, just in thinner, lighter packages.
“The Spectre family of pistols is SIG Custom Works’ feature-rich polymer pistol line that is fine-tuned for performance,” said SIG Vice President Tom Taylor. “The custom-designed slide and gold features of the P365XL Spectre Comp make this latest addition to the Spectre series noticeably distinct.”
“However, the true standout feature of the P365XL Spectre Comp is the uniquely integrated compensator that reduces muzzle flip and felt recoil by up to 30 percent, and because of the design will never come loose or cause function issues,” he said. “The P365XL Spectre Comp offers all the benefits of a compensated pistol in a reliable, concealable, everyday carry package.”
A Spectre pistol, the newest P365XL features an upgraded, laser-stippled grip, two-tone highlights with its gold, flat-faced trigger and barrel with a titanium nitride finish, and a ported slide to show it off. The slide is also machined for mini red dot sights and comes from the factory with X-Ray 3 day and night sights.
The Spectre Comp uses an extended slide with an integral compensator. The barrel is actually 3.1 inches long, the same as a standard P365, stopping just short of the ports machined into the slide. The muzzle of the slide is relieved to clear the barrel while cycling.

It’s a clever design that has clear advantages over conventional pistol compensators. Not only is the compensator fixed in place, but it can also be easily disassembled and reassembled without tools, or in the case of many compensators, solvents and thread lockers.
As part of the SIG Custom Works lineup, the P365XL Spectre Comp comes with a limited-edition case, with a challenge coin, certificate of authenticity and three 12-round flush-fitting magazines.

Over a balmy winter weekend in South Miami-Dade, Florida, a young boy and his grandfather set out to fish along a canal. What they reeled in weren’t fish, but holy mackerel were they a catch.
Duane Smith was shocked when his grandson Allen Cadwalader pulled in two .50-caliber Barrett sniper rifles while magnet fishing, the Miami Herald reported.
Smith and Cadwalader went out with magnetic rods after viewing a YouTube video on it, and decided to drop lines in the C-102 canal.
“We ended up with two pounds of scrap metal and 40 pounds of gun,” Smith told the Miami Herald, adding, “I figured, since it was our first time, this was beginner’s luck.”
But luck struck twice, and the pair pulled up a second rifle one drop after the first.
“The Barretts had so much mass,” Smith noted. “The magnet went straight to them.”
Smith, 61, who formerly served with Army infantry, said that he was interested in the firearms’ lower recievers, where serial numbers are typically located. He immediately called police.
“Whoever did this is not your run-of-the-mill criminal,” said Smith. “It looked like it was something that someone would want to come back for.”
The guns are currently being processed at a local forensics lab.
This was far from the first time people have gone “magnet fishing” and found old weapons.
This YouTube video shows the discovery of an old Nazi MG-42 machine gun from World War II.
“For me a very exciting video!” said MjrCarnyx – WW2 Metal Detecting, who posted the video, which had more than 280,000 views, in 2019. “As you can see we had a few epic days with the guys from Dutch WW2 Magnet Hunters. It was absolutely unbelievable and I can’t thank them enough for taking me along. I really do hope you enjoy!”
