Just got my icarus xl hybrid pro frame in the mail. It feels really good and solid. I can say getting the fcu in it was not easy. The tolerances are very tight. I hear it loosens up over time, but i don't plan on removing it anytime soon.
I love that the dust cover goes to the end of the slide and it has a real rail on it. The added weight feels good and i imagine range trips will be more pleasant. Now just gotta get more xl mags.
Below is a pic of my 2-365s. The top is the icarus frame with xl slide and flat trigger and the bottom is the standard polymer xl frame with the shorter slide and fcu (x configuration minus the flat trigger)
Magwells are shaped a little different but both work as far as I'm concerned. (Icarus on left)
Checkering feels good and i like that they added that little area in front of the takedown notch for your support thumb.
Overall I'm happy with it. Probably doesn't do much better than a standard 365 but i like the extra heft since this one sits at the house anyway.
Edit: forgot to add it still fits in a don hume leather holster made for a standard xl. Not sure about others but this guy still fits perfectly.
