About this product
What is the Sig Sauer SCT Anime Macro 365X 9mm Comp Black? It's a custom-configured, optics-ready micro-compact pistol built on the SIG P365X Macro platform, featuring a Shark Coast Tactical Komodo grip module, a compensated barrel, and anime-themed Cerakote graphics. This configuration elevates a proven defense platform into a specialized, high-visibility range and personal protection tool that still meets the core mechanical specifications of its host firearm. It represents a specific, subculture-driven approach to what is otherwise a duty-proven mechanical system.
What is the Sig Sauer SCT Anime Macro 365X 9mm Comp Black used for?
This pistol is engineered primarily for dynamic range shooting and as a statement piece for concealed carry, not for low-visibility operational use. The compensated 3.1-inch barrel reduces typical micro-9mm muzzle rise by approximately 15%, aiding in rapid follow-up shot placement during controlled strings of fire. The 17+1 round capacity with included magazines provides a substantial ammunition reserve that rivals full-size duty guns, making it suitable for extended training sessions or as a primary defensive tool where capacity is a legal and tactical priority. Its night sights and optic-ready slide offer immediate low-light capability and easy modernization.
How does the Sig Sauer SCT Anime Macro 365X 9mm Comp Black compare to a standard SIG P365X Macro?
The Anime Macro is a custom showpiece, while the factory SIG P365X Macro is a utilitarian duty gun. Compared to the standard, factory-direct SIG P365X Macro, this Anime edition offers superior muzzle control via its ported barrel and a more aggressive grip geometry but sacrifices the factory's stealthy, matte-black finish and direct warranty support from Sig Sauer. For the shooter prioritizing flash and rapid-fire performance at the range, this is better; for the shooter who needs a no-nonsense, warranty-backed tool for daily concealed carry, the standard model available on our site, like the Stevens 334 Rifle, represents a simpler, more reliable choice.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded, the pistol weighs 23.4 ounces (663 grams) due to its aluminum grip module and steel slide assembly. Its overall dimensions are 6.6 inches in length, 5.2 inches in height (with magazine inserted), and 1.1 inches in width at the slide—critical numbers for holster compatibility and concealment planning. The grip circumference is 5.9 inches, which is nearly a full inch larger in circumference than the standard P365 module, significantly improving purchase for larger hands.
Who is this NOT for?
This pistol is not for the shooter seeking anonymity, a factory warranty, or a platform for heavy modification. The vivid, cell-shaded anime graphics make it a highly identifiable firearm, eliminating it from consideration for any covert or undercover role. Furthermore, the custom slide and barrel work likely voids the original manufacturer's warranty, shifting all service obligations to the custom shop. If your priority is a bland, reliable tool with direct factory support, consider a more traditional option like our Stevens 555 Sporting O/U Shotgun.
What's in the box?
You receive the complete pistol, two 17-round double-stack magazines, and a basic plastic carrying case—not the factory SIG hard case. The package does not include an optic plate, a threaded barrel protector, or any tools for sight adjustment, which are common inclusions with factory-fresh SIG pistols. Expect to source an appropriate optics mounting plate separately, which typically adds $50-$70 and requires proper torque specification (15-20 in/lbs) for reliable zero retention.
Is the Sig Sauer SCT Anime Macro 365X 9mm Comp Black worth it at $940.99?
At $940.99, this pistol commands a $300+ premium over a base P365X Macro for aesthetics and a compensator, making it a value proposition rooted in personal expression, not pure ballistic performance. The investment is justifiable if you specifically desire this unique visual package and the tangible, though marginal, recoil mitigation of the ported barrel. For the shooter who simply wants a reliable, high-capacity micro-9, that premium is better spent on ammunition, a quality holster, and professional training.

Pros & cons
What works
- Weighs 23.4 oz — maintains a carry-friendly weight despite the aluminum frame and steel slide.
- 17+1 round capacity — matches the magazine count of full-size duty pistols like the Glock 17.
- Compensated 3.1-inch barrel — measurably reduces muzzle rise for faster sight recovery during rapid fire.
- Optic-ready slide — cut for the Shield RMS-C/Holosun K footprint for immediate red-dot mounting.
Trade-offs
- No factory Sig Sauer warranty — all service must go through the custom builder or a qualified gunsmith.
- Vivid anime graphics — makes the firearm highly identifiable and unsuitable for discreet roles.
- Specific holster required — the Komodo grip module does not fit standard P365XL holsters, adding cost.
- No optic plate included — requires a separate $50-$70 purchase and proper torque wrench for installation.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard P365XL holsters?
- No, it is not directly compatible due to the wider Shark Coast Tactical Komodo grip module. The frame's width and trigger guard geometry differ, requiring a holster specifically molded for the Komodo module or a universal fit model from a vendor like Tier 1 Concealed. Always verify holster compatibility lists before purchase.
- Does this work with a Holosun 507K optic?
- Yes, the slide is cut for the Shield RMS-C/Holosun K footprint, which includes the 507K. Mounting requires a specific plate or direct attachment with the provided screws, which should be torqued to 15 in/lbs using a calibrated wrench. I recommend applying a thread locker like Vibra-TITE VC-3 for secure retention.
- How long does shipping take to an FFL?
- Processing and shipping typically take 3-5 business days from order verification to carrier pickup. Transit time then depends on your FFL's location, with ground service averaging 4-7 additional business days. You must provide your chosen FFL's license to Ironclad Armory before shipment is released.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit my hand?
- No, firearms are non-returnable due to federal regulations once they have been transferred through an FFL. It is your responsibility to handle a similar frame, such as a standard P365X Macro, prior to purchase to assess grip ergonomics. All sales are final after the 4473 transfer is initiated.
