NEW SIG P365-XF DH3 for 2026 — NEW SIG SAUER P365-DH3 AXG

SIG Expands the P365 Lineup for 2026

SIG SAUER continues to expand its highly successful P365 platform with the introduction of the P365-DH3 AXG and P365-XF DH3, two new models unveiled at SHOT Show 2026. These pistols bring additional configurations to the P365 family while maintaining the platform’s slim profile, modular design, and high capacity relative to size.In this GunBroker product spotlight video, SIG SAUER’s Chris Chang explains how the new DH3 models combine a 3.7-inch barrel, integrated compensator, and updated grip modules to deliver what SIG describes as one of the softest-shooting P365 configurations to date.

Overview of the SIG P365-DH3 Platform

The P365-DH3 series builds on the established P365 architecture that has become one of the most widely adopted compact pistol platforms in the United States. Known for its slim one-inch-wide slide, the P365 platform offers a balance of concealability and capacity that helped redefine the modern micro-compact pistol category.

The new DH3 models incorporate several enhancements, including an integrated compensator and 3.7-inch barrel, designed to improve control and shooting characteristics while maintaining the compact dimensions associated with the P365 lineup.

Two versions of the pistol are available:

P365-DH3 AXG – aluminum frame configuration
P365-XF DH3 – polymer frame configuration

Both share similar overall dimensions and operating characteristics while offering different grip module materials.

SIG SAUER P365-DH3 AXG Overview

The SIG SAUER P365-DH3 AXG features SIG’s AXG aluminum grip module, providing a metal-frame configuration within the P365 platform. This design adds additional weight compared to polymer models, which can contribute to improved stability and control during firing.

The pistol retains the P365’s slim profile and optics-ready slide while incorporating the DH3 design elements such as the integrated compensator.
