There's no doubt that the SIG Sauer P365-XMacro ranks among the hottest carry guns introduced in 2022. And even though it's been around for only a short while, I'd even go as far as to claim it's the best concealed carry handgun ever made.
The pisotl is based on the design of the SIG P365, undeniably SIG's most popular carry gun released back in 2018. One of the reasons why the X Macro enjoys such popularity shortly after its birth is the fact that it delivers an impressive base capacity of 17+1 rounds even though it comes in such a small package (the same length as the original model). On top of that, the pistol is optics-ready, which means you can mount various SIG P365-XMacro red dot, RMR, and reflex sights to the back of the slide.
But today I'll shed a bit of light on another amazing feature the P365 X Macro offers. The pistol comes with a 1913 Picatinny rail, which it's compatible with all sorts of P365-XMacro tactical lights and lasers. And I'll also show you which lights and lasers for the P365 XMacro you should get so that there's nothing to regret.
Best tactical lights and lasers for SIG Sauer P365-XMacro
Let's kick our list of with a product by Streamlight, the world's most renowned tactical lights and lasers maker. Even though their Streamlight TLR-7 Sub had been developed much sooner than the X Macro was introduced, thanks to the Picatinny rail the pistol comes with, this is one of the best tactical lights compatible with the SIG P365-XMacro.
The TLR-7 Sub boasts 500 lumens, which is a performance sufficient enough for all sorts of lighting conditions. The light's beam distance is 140 meters (153 yards) and it can run for 90 minutes. This tactical light for SIG P365 Xmacro is powered by a single CR123A Lithium batter (included in the packaging) and it's super lightweight and compact. Of course, as it's a Streamlight product, you'll be expected to pay a bit more than for most other lights, but if you have a couple of extra bucks, this tactical light is definitely the way to go. The only downside I can find is the absence of a laser. And if you get one, don't forget to get a SIG P365-XMacro Streamlight TLR-7 holster.

However, these downsides are evened out by the fact that this light/laser by OLIGHT is USB rechargeable. Fancy getting one?

Conclusion - What's the best SIG P365 XMacro light and laser?
So, this has been our list of the currently best lights and lasers compatible with SIG P365-XMacro. The list wasn't that difficult to compile as there aren't that many options available yet. The main reason for lack of options is the fact that the P365 X Macro has only been introduced very recently. However, I'm sure many weapon illumination brands will be quick to respond to the immense success of the XMacro and that many more options will soon be available.
Having said that, the fact that there wasn't much to choose from doesn't render the products on this list any less viable. All of the above-mentioned P365-XMacro accessories are of high quality, and no matter which one you end up getting, I'm sure you'll be nothing short of satisfied. But if it was up to me, I'd go with #2 on our list - OLIGHT Baldr Mini for P365 X Macro. It doesn't cost that much and it's a great P365 X Macro light and laser combo, featuring a green laser, meaning it's useful even in daylight.
If you grab one of these lights and/or lasers, don't forget to shop for a custom light-bearing SIG P365-XMacro holster. Not sure you'll get one? Nevermind, you'll still need a custom P365 X Macro holster to extract as much as you can of the incredibly high concealed carry potential your pistol has to offer.
