Well, between what you all have said, and the consensus on youtube, I've decided to pull the trigger on a P365.

I'll be heading on down to the Marince Corps Exchange this afternoon to see it they have one or will order one for me. They have a deal that matches any price they can see, and these things are advertised at $499 lots of places, so I guess that's what I'll end up paying. I'll also order 2x12 round mags to go with.

I bought a holster for it last night and should see it later this week from Concealment Express.

It turns out there are lots of aftermarket doodads to hang off these things, including a 15 round mag that I will pass on. Too long. Also a flat trigger, lights, sights, and all sorts of stuff. For now, just the pistol, holster, and 12 round mags for me.

Thanks for your comments and advice!

The MCX had them in stock at $499, but I opted for the Tac Pack at $529.

Tac Pack has 2x10 rd mags, 1x12 rd mag, Sig Kydex OWB/IWB holster.

The last round in the 12 rd mag is very tight. My poor arthritic hands couldn't manage it, so I used the Uplula.

It's going to feel real strange carrying a weapon in condition 1 without a safety, but I'm informed that is the way to carry these things.

So far very impressed!

Tomorrow is range day.

congrats...can't wait for the range report!

I had to pick up a Glock loading assist thing from my LGS. Works great.

I predict you will be happy with how it shoots. It's amazing, to me, how well they engineered this pistol.

I wish I had seen this post a day ago, I have the sig 365, and yes, it is small and compact, but its trigger hurts my hand after a dozen or so rounds. IMHO, it definitely is not a "range gun". If you can get a few hundred rounds through it, you can consider it a reliable carry gun. Good luck and congratulations on the purchase!!

Congratulations on the new pistol! May it serve you well.
