Last week I went to the store to buy a Glock 43x under the Blue Label program. I was looking for a new belt carried conceal carry that's bigger than my S&W 442 I use for deep concealment but smaller than a full size handgun. When I got to the store I saw that they were selling Sigs under a similar program and that the P365 was the same price as the 43x and the P365XL was only about 60 dollars more. I hadn't really considered the Sigs before because Im still weary about the P365 striker drag issue (I know it's been resolved, but the fear still lingers) and the XL version was just significantly more expensive.
Anyways I decided to give the XL a try. The worst case scenario is I dont like the gun and I sell it for enough to buy the Glock.
Well it turns out that Im really enjoying this little gun. I have pretty large hands but the grip is still comfortable while still being very slim. The gun is accurate and the factory night sights are a good design. It's also cut for an optic and a Holosun K model is likely in the near future.
Shooting this gun is where I truly fell in love with it. It reminds me of a Glock 26 for the fact that it shoots more like a bigger gun than a small gun. It definitely will let you know if your grip techniques are lacking more so than a full size handgun, but it isnt hard to shoot well at all. 50 yard shots on a silhouette style target is not hard.
In short, Im a Glock guy but Im really liking this P365XL. If you are thinking about getting one I highly recommend it.
The size of this gun is great, but the shootability of it sets it apart from other small 9mms.

Tested the gun last week at work along side a buddies duty P320 compact. On another topic.... the P320 with a Wilson Combat grip is a fantastic handgun. The gas pedal take down lever works great but still stays out of the way. Not a big fan of the Sig handgun red dots, but he hasnt had any issues with his.
