First of all Id like to point out that I am a big fan of the P365XL. I highly recommend the gun.
About a year ago a coworker brought in a P365XL and let me try it at the range. I felt the gun was a perfect size for concealed carry. It was slim and small enough to comfortably ride on my belt covered yet big enough to handle recoil decently.
My only complaint with the gun was the grip size. Not length, but circumference. Im a fairly large guy at 6 foot 2 and have pretty large hands. I noticed that when shooting at an accelerated pace my trigger finger would sometimes contact the thumb or palm of my support hand. This would cause a shift in my grip pressure and give an errant shot. Not horrible but noticeable. AT 15-20 yards Id still be on a silhouette target, but not in the A (or slightly out in the C) zone.
I initially figured this would be something I can work on and would get better. I spent 6 months and several hundred rounds working on it. A couple weeks ago a coworker told me that he was interested in buying one and offered to buy mine. So I gave up and conceded that no matter how much I like the gun, it just doesnt work for me.
So Im back on a Glock 43x. Similar overall size but the Glock has a thicker grip. I had one of the original 43x with the stainless slide and ended up trading that off because I couldnt warm up to the two tone look. Im going to give this one a fair shake and see how she does long term. I still may end up going back to a Glock 26 with a pinky extender as I know I shoot those well. But I find the slimmer guns to be more comfortable to carry.
