![]() When I did my job, it wasn’t surprising to see shots touching or within a quarter inch of one another with both types of ammunition. In this case, the limiting factor was the shooter. I also shot the ROSE at 10- and 15-yards offhand.Īt typical self-defense distances, the ROSE is more than accurate enough with both types of ammo tested to neutralize a threat. This group was fired from seven yards, offhand. My best five-shot group measured 1.16 inches by 0.65 inches measured center to center. My test model seemed to prefer the SIG SAUER Elite Ball target ammo over the JHP. The difference was not drastic, and I was able to shoot both guns accurately. Shooting the same ammunition through each gun in succession, I did notice the felt recoil seemed slightly less on the ROSE. To test this, I fired rounds of SIG SAUER 9mm 124-grain Elite Ball FMJ target ammo and SIG SAUER 9mm 124-grain Elite V-Crown JHP through both my personal SIG SAUER P365X (no comp) and the 9mm ROSE (with integrated comp). The 9MM ROSE model also has an integrated compensator to reduce felt recoil. This is ideal for newer shooters and adds an extra level of security, which many newcomers are especially concerned about. First, a manual safety wasn’t a choice it is standard on both ROSE models. What I found especially interesting were the features of the various P365 models SIG and Miculek selected for the ROSE edition. The X-Ra圓 Day/Night sights were quick to acquire in light and dark environments and the gun arrived optics-ready. They were smooth to operate, with enough area for easy use, but slim enough not to snag on clothing, etc. I especially appreciated the size of the safety and slide catch/release. It was comfortable to hold and manipulate with slide serrations and a stippled ROSE-pattern grip. This pistol, no surprise, handled like a traditional SIG P365. While I find the ROSE kit a great option for those new to shooting, what I didn’t anticipate was the number of female firearm enthusiasts who would embrace the program beyond the gun, asking questions online about different firearms they own or have used and sharing photos of Rose-colored everything. I joined the ROSE Facebook group the day ROSE launched and watched as the women’s-only community grew to over 5,000 members in a little over a month. Her voice quivers as she expresses her motivation and the reason behind ROSE: “to support, inspire, and encourage women along their firearms ownership journey.” SIG SAUER P365-XL Comp ROSE Review Miculek’s passion for this program shows in the first segment of the ROSE video series, free online education focused on the ROSE pistols. ![]() The idea behind the ROSE is to give women everything they need to get started shooting, while supporting them with free online training and a digital community where all questions are welcome.Įach ROSE pistol comes in a specially embossed box containing a ROSE-branded Vaultek Lifepod safe, a magazine loader, five dummy rounds in a translucent draw string pouch, an empty chamber indicator, and two 12-round magazines. ROSE isn’t just a special edition of a P365-it’s a system and community led by competitive shooter Lena Miculek. Yet, many women simply connect better with other women, and for those SIG SAUER has launched the ROSE program. I have learned to shoot almost exclusively from men with great success. To be clear, I am not knocking male instructors or teachers. As a rifle and pistol instructor, and a woman, I’ve seen firsthand what a difference talking woman to women can make for female students. ![]()
