Build Breakdown: Josh's P365 R11 XMacro "R11 MACBRO"

Alright, alright… here it is. The first build breakdown.

This is the gun exactly how it lives right now. No fantasy parts list, no “coming soon” upgrades. Just what’s on it, why it’s there, and what’s survived real range time.

Everything below is stuff we actually run. If there’s a link or a discount code, we dropped it to make your life easier. Copy the whole build, steal a couple ideas, or just window-shop.

Scroll at your own risk. Builds are addictive.

1. ECM Precision R11 Grip Module

   

   The ECM R11 grip module is legit one of the most comfortable and aggressive-feeling grips we’ve run. It just fits—like it was molded to your hand—but without feeling like sandpaper on your palms. The texture gives confident control without chewing up your skin, and the ergonomics make transitions feel smooth and natural. It’s simple, solid, and definitely earns its spot on the build.

2. Gideon Optics Judge XL

   

   The Gideon Optics Judge XL is a killer little red dot that punches way above its weight. Crisp, clean sight picture with no weird fringing and a reticle that’s easy to pick up fast—even in goofy angles or bright sun. It’s rock-solid on recoil, stays put round

   after round, and just feels right when you instinctively press your eye up to it. Simple, tough, and does exactly what you want without drama. Get it here: www.gideonoptics.com Discount Code: JAYWETH

3. Brownells P365 XL Slide

   The Brownells SIG P365 XL slide is one of those parts that should’ve stuck around forever, but it’s sadly discontinued. If you already have any P365 XL–length slide, it’s perfect for what we were going for: a full XL slide footprint so you can run full-length barrels, optics, and whatever else without feeling like you’re shoehorning parts into a short slide.

   For those who didn’t snag one before they disappeared, similar XL-length slides (or an XMacro slide without the comp cut) will get you the same vibe—extra slide real estate, balanced look, and the room you need for the fun stuff. Get Brownells Slides Here: www.brownells.com

4. Tag Precision Iron Sights

   The TAG Precision fiber sights are next-level because of their patented FiberLok™ technology — a smart design that makes swapping fiber colors stupid-easy and keeps the fiber where it belongs for way longer than old school glue-or-friction setups. With a simple set-screw you can change colors on the fly without heat, and since the fiber is CNC-matched to the sight body, you get a clean, bright sight picture that actually stays bright through real use. Add killer CNC steel construction and a QPQ nitride finish, and you’ve got iron sights that don’t just look good — they hold up and stay usable round after round.

5. Streamlight TLR-7X

   The Streamlight TLR-7X hits a solid balance of size, output, and durability. It’s compact enough to keep the gun feeling balanced, but still throws plenty of usable light for real-world use. The paddle switches are easy to reach and intuitive, and the overall package just works without adding bulk. Simple, reliable, and a good fit for a streamlined setup.

6. NDZ Performance Basepads

   The NDZ Performance magazine base pads are one of those subtle upgrades that actually make the gun more enjoyable to run. They give your mags a little extra purchase for faster reloads and make seating and dropping them smoother. Built tough, clean lines that don’t snag, and they just feel right in hand — a small part that pays off big when you’re rolling reps or running drills.

7. Tactical Trigger Kit

   The SIG P365 Tactical Trigger Kit straight-up changes the feel of your P365. You get a cleaner break, lighter pull, and a reset that’s way easier to find under recoil — it just makes shooting more predictable and smooth. Easy install, great fit, and it turns an average trigger into something that feels way closer to what you want when you’re running drills or pressing for accuracy.

8. Monsoon Tactical Lucky 7s Porting

   

   
   

   The Monsoon Tactical Lucky 7s porting isn’t just for looks — it’s there to tame muzzle rise and keep your sight picture where you want it. The ports are sized and positioned to dump gas upward so the gun stays flat and predictable when you’re running reps. It gives that little extra control without being gimmicky, and it pairs great with a full-length barrel/slide setup to make follow-ups smoother and less jerky. Functional and clean — that’s why it’s in the build.

   Get Monsoon Tactical Ports Here: www.monsoontactical.com That’s the full breakdown as it sits right now. No safe-queen parts, no hype pieces — just a setup built from time on the range and real reps.

   If you take anything from this, let it be this: builds are personal. Use this as a reference, steal what makes sense, and leave the rest. The goal isn’t to copy our gun — it’s to build something that works for you.
   

   Now go shoot it. Then shoot it some more.
