Looking for a 2nd 10+ Round Micro-9

I've done duplicates of my carry gun, one to carry one to practice with, since we first got concealed carry. When I carried a .40 my practice was it in the 9mm version, practice gun quickly paid for itself in practice ammo cost savings.

I've done duplicates of my carry gun, one to carry one to practice with, since we first got concealed carry. When I carried a .40 my practice was it in the 9mm version, practice gun quickly paid for itself in practice ammo cost savings.

I've been carrying for years when out of state on a non-resident UT permit. Since I'm in VA, WV and DE pretty regularly, I thought I had my carry preferences figured out (a lot had changed over the years), and while I figured that some things may change with regular carry post-Bruen, I was not expecting this change.

I still like compact service pistols (PCR, G19) but I do carry them less than I thought. With 13 rounds (12+1) in a package as small as the P365, I'm not surprised. I found the traditional subcompact size to no longer have a place for me. The first was a minor surprise, the second more so. However, I never thought I'd buy a 2nd of the same carry gun. In my case, both are 9mm. I don't clean my range guns every trip, I like to regularly shoot my carry gun, I don't carry a dirty gun. So, I bought a 2nd, one for the range and one for carry and then I'll switch them off every few months. Then, instead of two in the same class (like the Shield Plus), this saves me a lot on additional holsters I would have bought, and I will practice with one of my P365s every range trip.

It makes a lot of sense, I just never thought I'd do it.

Now, if they ever do a .22 version, I'll probably buy that too for lots of really cheap practice.
