In the video, “How to Upgrade Your Sig P365 Grip: Wilson Combat Installation with Marty Enloe & Yamil Sued,” expert gunsmith Marty Enloe guides Yamil Sued through an in-depth, step-by-step process of upgrading a Sig Sauer P365 with a Wilson Combat grip frame. This comprehensive tutorial covers each stage in detail, making it easier for viewers to perform the installation on their own P365.

Here’s a breakdown of the process:

1. Preparation and Safety

• Tools and Workspace: Marty begins by highlighting the essential tools, such as a 1/16″ punch. Maintaining a clean, organized workspace is essential to avoid damage to small parts.
• Safety Measures: Both Marty and Yamil emphasize safety by clearing and verifying that the firearm is unloaded. This is a critical step in any disassembly or installation process.

2. Removing the Original Grip Frame

• Disassembly: Marty demonstrates how to disassemble the Sig P365 by removing the slide and separating it from the frame. This includes ejecting the magazine, locking the slide to the rear, and gently pulling it off the frame.

3. Installing the New Wilson Combat Mag Catch

• Transferring Components: Instead of reusing the original mag catch, Marty and Yamil install the new mag catch provided by Wilson Combat, designed specifically for compatibility with the Wilson Combat grip frame.
• Positioning and Testing: After the new mag catch is installed, Marty suggests testing it to ensure smooth functionality before proceeding.

4. Swapping Over the Fire Control Group (FCG)

• Removal from Original Frame: The fire control group is carefully removed from the original Sig grip frame. Marty explains each step, from removing the pin and gently extracting the group without stressing delicate parts.
• Insertion into Wilson Combat Frame: Installing the FCG into the Wilson Combat grip frame involves aligning and positioning the control group correctly. Marty guides Yamil through this, showing how to confirm that the FCG is seated properly.

5. Final Assembly and Function Testing

• Reassembling the Slide: With the Wilson Combat grip installed, Marty and Yamil complete the reassembly by sliding the upper receiver back onto the frame, checking alignment, and locking it in place.
• Function Testing: Finally, Marty demonstrates a function test to ensure the pistol operates correctly. This includes checking the trigger pull, mag catch, and slide lock functionality to confirm a successful upgrade.

Benefits of the Wilson Combat Grip Frame

• Enhanced Ergonomics: The Wilson Combat grip offers an improved texture and grip angle, giving the P365 a more ergonomic feel for shooters of various hand sizes.
• Improved Control: The design of the Wilson Combat grip can enhance control, especially for follow-up shots and recoil management.
• Aesthetic Appeal: The Wilson Combat frame not only performs well but also adds a unique look to the P365, giving it a more tactical and customized appearance.
