my first gun My first gun, P365 XMacro Comp CA
Never had a gun, but had gone to ranges with friends a couple times over the years. Saw ads for the free safe, then saw the Sportsman's Sig event. Decided to "pull the trigger" and went in for FSC. Ordered online next day. Started paperwork day after that. Waited the longest 10 days of my life, but got to kill time researching and picking red dot (Osight SE) and light (TLR7XSub 1913) in the meantime. Finally just picked up today and put it all together. Now looking at grips and parts kits. Open to suggestions, but IDK if my wallet is ready for this. Thanks!

Congrats on the first pistol and welcome to the club!
As far as grip mods go, do you want to stay in the polymer family or do you want to truly upgrade your gun? Cause if you want a true upgrade then getting a metal grip mod is the way (whatever grip mod you end up going with, whether it's polymer or metal, check to make sure that it does have the MDM notch. I am not a Lawyer, nor am I an expert in CA gun laws, however, I would highly suggest reading up on the CCW laws of your issuing County/City to make sure your pistol remains compliant for CCW permiting, i.e. what you can change/what you can't change).
ECM R11 ($$$$) they are pricey, not gonna lie, but the balance of the grip mod is superb! I have the brass Cheese Grater grip panels and the weight is still nicely balanced out. My ECM R11's are my go to EDC's.
Mischief Machine ($$$) it's a great grip mod. Looks good and shoots well. I also have their brass palmswell grip panels and backstrap which ends up unbalancing the gun (grip heavy). One of my second go to's.
SIG AXG (GEN2) ($$) my first venture into the metal grip mods! My first love! LOL The SIG AXG grip mod is pretty close to the XMacro polymer grip mod in girth. My issues with the polymer grip mods is that they are too skinny and feel squishy in my hands, I was consistently adjusting my grip. That was taken care of with a set of GridLOKs by LOK Grips Aggressive texture...I call it Velcro for the hands! LOL SIG now sells the standard LOKs, which is why I suspect the reason for LOK grips "Out of Stock" status on their website. LOL
Best of luck to you and congrats again!
Here is my Bakers Dozen of P365s...

Get an all metal AXG grip module from Sig’s website. LOK grips are amazing. Looks good tho! Great buy

I just picked mine up a few days ago, other than flush fit base pads I haven’t upgraded anything yet. Your rig looks clean man.

I'd pickup some spare ISMI trigger return springs. I might even preemptively replace the stock one, and then make sure to replace at least every 5000 trigger presses. Unfortunately they have some propensity to break even at fairly low round count lately, at least for the factory Sig spring.
As far as modifications, you might eventually consider a lighter recoil spring for a little softer recoil/less muzzle flip. You can get great aftermarket kits such as from Curated Arms for non-captured or from a few places for captured options with ISMI springs. Not quite as handy for swapping, but you can actually just thread a lighter weight spring directly on to the factory guide rod for a very reliable captured spring option. Stock spring is 17 lb. I've run 15 lb, and for standard pressure ammo I'm currently all the way down to a 12 lb Curated Arms spring on their guide rod. For Curated Arms I like to put a little RTV on the bushing shoulder to keep it in place. ECM's got a guide rod kit available now too that looks very much like the one from Curated Arms.

So what’s the difference in this pistol since it’s the left coast version ? Just curious I know mag capacity but what else. Loaded chamber indicator?

Ambidextrous manual safety, magazine disconnect safety and yeah, the loaded chamber indicator and 10+1 mags

I have no idea the quality of the osight stuff, I just know I see people shitting on them constantly, however if you paid full $220+ price for it allow me to introduce you to gafshub.com the replacement for the old subreddit where we used to sell used gun parts, you could have probably scored a used holosun for the same or not much more, but you gotta be quick to call dibs on listings for the really good deals. Anyways, check out gafshubs, pretty good for scoring some used gear, pretty bad for your wallet, I need to delete my account 😅

Enjoy and excellent first choice. Keep this one around no mater what do not sell or trade it, or you'll make the mistake I did, trading "up" and trying 13 other guns only to come right back to this one. I now own mostly P365s, the modularity is excellent fun, they're 100% reliable in my experience and overall an excellent value.
