I picked up a P365 w/ the manual safety about a month ago. I love this little gun. Really, I don't see myself carrying anything else anytime soon.

Wow, DA/SA coming back? Shows that what goes around comes around. To the question regarding serial numbering the barrel to the receiver, that's a not uncommon practice for many manufacturers. It's generally seen as a guarantee that the barrel has been "mated" to a specific firearm, hence...

Paras I have seen were lacking in the fitting department. Example: a 1911's barrel hood should not depress when pushed if properly fitted. The worst example of this fit I have seen was on a Para Elite, which had considerable barrel hood movement. Also, I'm not sure where you are getting...

Man, what a great deal on a great pistol. I've always liked the look of the P6. Congratulations!

Very nice.

If you're trying to keep it under $300, a lot of people look to the S&W SD9VE if the high trigger pull weight doesn't bug you (but it is striker fired, so may not be your thing). Also, a used Ruger P95 would be a GREAT choice for a hammer fired 9mm.

Take a look at the Sig SP2022. You can find the NIB for $400, and they are a great polymer framed Sig with an external hammer and decocker. Think of it as a polymer framed P226. In fact, I've sold two P226's and kept the Sp2022 as I liked it so much, even more than the P226. I'd shy away from...

I used to have one just like that. Great pistol for sure.

I run 200 gr SWC cast bullets (polymer coated) on top of 5 gr of Unique. Not sure of the FPS, but the max load of 5.4 grains of Unique runs 790 FPS according to the Alliant load data.

OP hasn't responded in nearly a week since posting their original question. Wonder if they are looking at this (?).

Well, at least it will make unholstering easy! :)

Asking a question like this is going to generate a mountain of personal opinions. Like other posters have asked, really need to know what you intend to do with this pistol. Kind of like walking onto a car lot, asking the salesperson "what automobile is the best under $30,000?" isn't going to...

I've tried the CZ-75 multiple times but can't get it to work for me as much as I would love it to. Just never seemed to "click." PPQ, for me, is vastly superior in terms of shootability and trigger. But, it's really a personal preference thing in the end. Kind of like Ford vs. Chevy on this...

If your ad is the one I'm thinking of, listed at $1,500, it's not going to get much action at that price. I'd lower it to $900 and see what you get. Not to be critical, but just a suggestion that you change the caliber to 45 ACP as it's currently listed as 45 Colt (which, if someone is...

Like another poster indicated, the Truglo TFO sights are nice. I replaced the stock sights on my XD-40 with the Truglos.
