When you combine performance, concealability, and a sharp custom look, you get a carry pistol that earns attention on the range and respect in the holster. As tactical operators and firearms enthusiasts, we look for pistols that blend real-world ergonomics with thoughtful finishes and practical upgrades — the kind of kit we’d trust for training, daily carry, and hard use.

What sets this build apart
The Shark Coast Tactical variant takes the compact SIG platform and elevates both form and function. The pistol features an optic-ready slide finished in a rugged brown Cerakote (Bronze Slide) paired with a Battleworn Gray Frame that uses a distinctive grey X-stippled texture for improved purchase. That X-stippled grip isn’t just for show — it offers enhanced control during rapid strings and wet-weather handling while maintaining comfort for extended range sessions.
Key specifications to know
This configuration ships with the standard 3.1″ barrel, and a 12-round magazine capacity, making it a high-capacity compact that’s still easy to conceal. The optic-ready slide means you can mount a micro red dot without milling concerns; the slide comes prepped to accept popular footprint optics. The price for this custom build is $749.99 — positioned where quality customization meets practical carry value.
Performance: real-world handling and the 9mm advantage
Chambered in 9mm, this pistol leverages the modern balance of manageable recoil, ammunition availability, and terminal performance suitable for defensive carry and range training. 9mm remains the standard for concealed-carry pistols because it allows for higher magazine capacity and lower felt recoil compared to larger calibers, while modern defensive loads provide effective performance in compact platforms.
Ergonomics and shooting dynamics
The X-stippled frame provides a positive interface between hand and gun without becoming abrasive in a holster. Combined with the P365X control ergonomics — the extended slide length and X-compact grip profile — shooters get faster sight transitions and a predictable recoil impulse that helps with follow-up accuracy. Whether you’re cycling through drills or dialing in a new optic, this setup is built to be intuitive under stress.
Optic-ready slide: how it changes the game
One of the standout features is the optic-ready slide finished in brown Cerakote. An optic-ready slide shortens target acquisition time and reduces the learning curve for new shooters transitioning to red dots. For competition or defensive use, the micro red dot allows for faster sight alignment and improved accuracy at close to medium ranges. The Cerakote finish adds corrosion resistance to everyday carry scenarios while giving the pistol a distinctive two-tone look that reads as tactical yet refined.
Accessory considerations
Because the slide is optic-capable, plan to select an optic with the correct footprint or use an appropriate mounting plate. The 12-round magazine keeps the grip profile compact while delivering enough rounds for typical defensive scenarios and range sessions. If you opt for aftermarket magazines or extended bases, verify reliable lock-up and retention in your holster of choice.
Durability, finish, and maintenance
The Battleworn Gray Frame and Bronze Slide Cerakote pairing aren’t purely cosmetic; the Cerakote layer helps protect against wear, and the stippling pattern contributes to real-world durability when carried daily. Regular maintenance — field-stripping, cleaning the barrel and slide rails, and light lubrication — will keep the pistol functioning through heavy training cycles. The SIG platform is proven and parts availability is broad, which makes upkeep straightforward.
Why the Sig Sauer name matters
Sig Sauer has built a reputation for reliability and innovation in compact carry pistols. The P365X platform expands on that heritage with improved controls and sight radius, and when a respected custom shop like Shark Coast Tactical applies a thoughtful build, you end up with a pistol that’s both eye-catching and mission-capable. This particular iteration balances cosmetic customization with upgrades that affect everyday use, not just shelf appeal.
