went with the Sig P365.
For $150 less the sig came with night sights and an optic cut,
Sig was $450.The SIG was cheaper?
I have a 200 round 'Defensive Shooting' class scheduled. If I find the 365 is wearing me out, I'll have a P320 in the range bag. But I don't expect to need it.I’ve shot a few, but for me the 365 feels better. And I can shoot it! Never handled another microcompact that fits my hand as well. I ran a whole tactical class with is and it kept up with the “full size” stuff very well. Close to 4k rounds through it I believe. I did upgrade to the flat trigger. May try a Wilson grip. But it’s America, and you can shoot and own the one you prefer. Or both. And be happy.
Yep Me too. Guys that I shoot with like it a lot too. Accuracy is up there with a really good duty gun...and it feels "right" in the hand. The attch pic was shot on my first day with it at 10 yds, Weaver stance, no support...Federal American Eagle 124 gr FMJ's. It's the best overall carry gun I've used. Small, light on the belt, great sights, usable trigger and it fits my and my wife's hands. RodOne more nod for the SIG...
I've a couple three 365s, and added the manual safety to all of them. It only gets used for administrative stuff; I'll engage it, for on the shelf above my bunk at camp, as an example. But it is really clever that SIG chose to make the safety an option that consumers can easily add themselves.I don't necessarily have a problem with the lack of a safety if carried in a holster that covers the trigger, but we don't always carry that way
Interesting, mine is very nice, easy to shoot wellMy 365s trigger is mush... easily one of the worst triggers in my safe. The only reason its still here is for trade fodder one day.
Now that's interesting, Moon...I hadn't realized that I could upgrade my 365 with a safety. Too, your use as an administrative function is well considered.

Check their website. At one point, the three parts (safety levers, plunger, and spring) were really hard to get, but they should be available now. It isn't rocket surgery installing the parts; you'll have to file a relief cut in the grip module. Or order one precut.Now that's interesting, Moon...I hadn't realized that I could upgrade my 365 with a safety. Too, your use as an administrative function is well considered. Best regards, Rod
I have an NRA edition (liked the color and extra mag) 365 from a couple years ago, and an XL from a month ago.Interesting, mine is very nice, easy to shoot well
You sure those prices are not reversed and nib? I'd put a couple more 365XLs in my safe just to have for that. Darn fine carry pistols out of the box.Sig was $450.
Hellcat was $599
Well, not every person. I own a Sig P365XL and rented a Hellcat from local range. After about 30 rounds in the Hellcat, I was very convinced that I could never own or recommend it. Both of these had red dot optics, so the difference in the sights was not part of the consideration. The Hellcat had a comp installed, and that was a negative feature IMHO. The Hellcat trigger was not nearly as good as the P365.Hands down the SA hellcat. every single person that picks it up comments how much they like and pick up the u-notch sight set. SIG meh.
Yes, you are correct. Small guns like the P-365XL are not a easy to shoot, especially when the round count at one session gets to be over 100. However, when I compare the accuracy between some of my 9mm handguns, the P-365 is as good (other were Glock 19X, Sig P320, BabyEagle, Glock 17)doubleh, think about a Big Dot, TruGlo, or other really visible front sight for a 365. Personally, I'm struggling with red dots, mostly because they let me see my trembles too well. Small, defensive guns aren't meant for Camp Perry, but simply to give adequate accuracy at shorter distance.

YepOne of many things I really like about the 365 is my ability to hit things with it. Even the smallest version shoots amazingly straight for me.
