I've always found 9mm to be a little too snappy in small pistols. I for one like 380 for small concealable handguns, makes it lighter and more accurate for me to shoot. Good review Sootch.
I think the key is how well you shoot a specific platform. 👍👍
A big aspect of this people don’t realize is ammunition choice. Different bullet weights, different seating depths for bullets, and different powders (some faster burning than others), and +p vs. standard pressure can make a very noticeable difference in recoil.
The trick with small 9mm guns is to find the ammunition that finds the right compromise between performance and felt recoil. I’ve found that the standard pressure, heavy for caliber offerings provide the best compromise out of a 3ish inch barrel. I then reload some 147 grain FMJ to a similar velocity so practicing with something that feels similar is possible.
@@bannedbycommieyoutube5time920 Correct you are. The issue I would then encounter is logistics. I'd be selecting such a niche sliver of ammunition, that it's not readily available. For 380, it wont really matter what I get, it will all already be softer than 95% of 9 mm.
@@scruffysstash agreed on recoil, a Glock 42 for example is a pleasure to shoot (you’d need a locked breach gun like that and not a straight blowback gun to actually get the recoil reduction benefits). People who don’t practice consistently, which is most people (not saying you are one of them, in general), would greatly benefit from a 380 gun in the P365’s size range.
As for 9mm ammunition choices, you could really narrow it down to 2-3 loads that would fit your criteria, then bite the bullet when it’s available and buy several hundred rounds of it. If you didn’t want to go as boutique as 147 grain, there are some 124 grain standard pressure loads that aren’t bad either that are generally more readily available (Hornady offerings seem to have mild recoil (relative of course).
Then store your choice in ammo container with a good seal in a place in your house that is most protected from the elements/humidity. Then it comes down to buying far more available practice ammunition. You don’t have to switch out your carry/home defense ammunition much, maybe once a year and you’re set for a very long time. This allows you to stock up during good times as well since you have plenty of it in reserve.
Lastly, I personally question the viability of 380 hollow point ammunition to penetrate deep enough consistently to get the job done, I’ve seen too many gel tests that suggest otherwise, and these short barrel lengths don’t help. Some suggest using FMJs only for that reason. I have also seen 380 hollow points perform quite well consistently, but it was a minority of them, so you are back to the speciality ammunition you noted you were trying to avoid.
At the end of the day, as the original comment stated, it’s all about what you are best with. Trying each caliber out in a similar size gun on the clock at no further than 7 yards is a good way to see what the true benefits are. Happy shooting 🇺🇸!
I agree about the micro-9s being very snappy, at least for me. I just "retired" my Beretta APX Carry after receiving my P365-380 and I couldn't be happier. Granted, there are expansion concerns with .380 defensive ammo shot from such a short barrel but there are also some nice "fluted" .380 defensive ammo that is a great alternative to JHP.
As the nerve damage in my hands got worse the P365 in 9mm was getting harder to use. I kept wishing Sig would make a 380 in the same size. And they did and I traded for it. No regrets. My Underwood Extreme Defender ammo leaves me feeling quite secure. Follow-up shots are a breeze now. I ordered one as soon as my gun store could get one for me. At 71 I feel able to defend myself just fine.
I picked mine up two weeks ago after trading in my shield plus & I’m very impressed with the P365 in .380. I think it’s the perfect platform for it. 9mm in a micro package is a bit too snappy and Sootch himself kept answering his own questions by stating that with this 380 version he can shoot faster & more accurately than the 9mm. Lol that’s the whole point of self defense. Kudos to Sig & 2 thumbs up to Sootch for helping me decide on the new P365! You have a new customer here! 👍🏻
It absolutely the optimized power level for a pistol that you can barely hang on to with flush mags. It’s a double stack Glock 42 is what it is. On handgun hero their slides are identical in height. The sig is wider that gives it the extra 3 ounces. It’s just the perfect round for the size pistol you want.
The P365 is probably a better platform for the .380 than the 9mm.
I agree. 9mm in the 365 isn't all that fun.
I personally think this was a smart move for sig. I didn't care for the 9mm 365. The 380 really fits the bill for this micro.
yep. been cc my g42 for 8 years now. My p365 9mm has been collecting dust for 3 years. I finally gave it to my brother. lol. G42 will always be my fav. Now the new p365 in 380? Just wow!!! that's even better!!!
The BIG QUESTION IS, SINCE A LOT HAVE ALREADY THE 365 9MM, CAN THE 380 MAGAZINE WORKS IN THE REGULAR 9MM 365? so we dont have to buy the gun, just magazines, or a new spring rod
@@luispablolee77 the can but there will be some extra space in there since there is a plate to take up room in in the back for the 380 ones
I love the comments, every single time. "My weak mom, my weak wife, my weak handicapped brother will love it." Well I guess I'm all of those. I love 380 ACP!
The P365 is a great personal defense pistol for EDC, and the .380 ACP is a good option for personal protection. Good pairing here.
I just shot my new Sig P365-380 a few days ago and it it very accurate with very minimal recoil. I have ordered two more magazines and a holster since it will be my edc pistol. Another winner for Sig!!!
Love that this is an option 🔥Absolutely the Golden Age for fire arms
New shooter here - struggling with CCW due to small hands. 9mm is too snappy and was on the fence purchasing the Glock 42 due to disappointing capacity. THIS Sig 380 however has lifted my spirits. Will give it a test at the range. Fantastic review!
Sometimes its good for a woman to have small hands .....
Love mine. My main CCW. 12 round mags.
There is no law that says a 380 must have a barrel less than 3" and fit in your shirt pocket. Now we need 2 more rounds and a flat trigger. Way to go Sig!
MagGuts modification will get you 2 more rounds with no additional length. I'm now carrying a 365X with flush fitting mag and 15 rounds of 9mm. Unbeatable IMO. My other sub-micro is a .380 Colt about the same size that holds 6 rounds of .380.
@KG That's why I wish we could get the Glock 25 here in the US. 15 rounds and a 4 inch barrel!
@Frank Bonazza III I get what you're saying believe me I am not a Glock fanatic but I think you may have missed my point somewhat. It would be nice to have the option of a .380 that holds more than 10 rounds. Also nice if that gun wasn't micro size. The Glock 25 gives you that option but is unobtainable here in the States. Aside from the Beretta Cheetah 84, there is hardly anything else on the market.
The sig 380 12 rd mag might meet your needs
@@jonnyt16 A year late but not only is the Glock 25 for sale for a limited time in the US, they're making them at the Georgia plant, but there are quite a lot of larger 380s if you look around more. MC14T/BDA/B84 13rd, Bersa TPR380 Plus 15rd, Grand Power P380 15rd, S&W Shield EZ 380 8rd, Ruger Security 380 10/15rd, there are always CZ83s floating around. As mentioned as well, you can put a 365X frame on the P365-380 and use the 12 round mags in that for a larger grip. Nothing quite in the full size pistol range but the Grand Power P380 is quite close, it's the same size as their P1.
As a woman I’ve got both a 9mm and I LOVE my P232 /.380 by far!! But that P365/.380 looks tempting! Will probably get it for my daughter for Christmas😃
Cory D I agree with the P232. I have one from the days before the micro 9's were available. I have found that the direct blowback design of the 232 is a little much for my daughters and while I haven't shot one I would think that the P365 in .380 might not be as harsh of a recoil.
I didn’t know about the interchangeability between this and the original. That is really cool and good to know. Thank you.
I originally bought the 365 9mm but then I replaced it with the 355 xl because the xl just felt so much better in my hand. Now I want to buy the 365 380 version because I think the size of the 365 would be more complimentary to the 380 caliber. The recoil is better in the 365 380 version and the recoil is better in the 365 xl version for 9mm. Great video.
100% agree
Yep ... the P365 does not have a full size grip and my pinky was touchng the mag and pushing against it, so i went with the P365X that has the full size grip so my pinky does not touch the mag anymore.
I own the Ruger lcp Max and I just love this pistol.
Which one do you like better for ccw ? Im undecided
*sootch00* Very nice, thank-you sir for taking the time to show us. God Bless brother. (Kevin) !
Thanks Kevin! Hope you're doing well Brother!
Given a choice between the two Sigs, I'll choose the 9mm anytime. More power, cheap ammo.
*"cheap ammo"*
Informational and entertaining, thank you Sootch! Liked and subscribed.
*SO* glad the algorithm recommended this tonight...
The .380 has seemed more befitting for pistols of the Glock 42 size rather than true "pocket" size as the latter takes away their advantage of how soft shooting they can be
Thanks Sootch 👍
Never would've guessed SIG would do this, but *damn* do I have a lot of hype for this little gun
My mom just bought one of these and it is definitely SMOOOOOTH like butter she LOVES it. Also took her to the range and we had that same ONE time issue of the failure to feed, but after that no more issues, chalked it up to the fact that the Sig mags are EXTREMELY stiff and need to be broken in. But besides that the gun is amazing.
Great presentation. Thanks.
If you're asking "what's the point???" then this isn't the pistol for you. It's for people who have issues dealing with the recoil of a 9mm. Female users, elderly people, and those with physical or medical issues are the ones who are going to be interested in this pistol. The LCP Max may look more size-efficient but it recoils more. This gives those folks a compact 11-shot pistol that's actually easy to operate and shoot.
Thanks D K, I appreciate the comment.
as a former LEO in my mid 30s, i've been cc my g42 for 8 years now. My fav of all time cc gun. Id prefer the soft recoil. the new 365 380 makes it better!
Thanks for this comment. You are a former LEO and you seem to have had no issues carrying a G42 even with only 6 rounds. I think most folks are really over estimating how many rounds they would really use in a self defense situation not counting home defense. @@troytruong8246
Finally a video that shows one handed shooting as most likely used in a self defense situation.
I bought a Ruger LCP 7 years ago for it's concealability when my EDC wasn't practical. For me, a larger .380 doesn't make sense, but I could see the P365 being a good fit for some shooters wanting an EDC in .380.
Thanks for the video. Looks like a great setup
Thanks enjoyed it I bought a Ruger lcp max just because of cost I had a sig in 380 loved it silky smooth
I picked one up last week. I must say this is everything the reviews said it was. Reliable, not one issue in about 200 rounds including mostly premium underwood loadings. Accurate. My first shot with the pistol with 100 grain fmj (sig sauer elite performance) 15 yards dead center head shot. It only was a little low Poa/poi with +p underwood and even then the groups were ridiculous. I love carrying this. Lightweight, disappears under a shirt and 12+1 underwood extreme defenders or XTPs I don’t feel under gunned. I won’t sell my 42 but this 365/380 will be fired a lot more. It’s just fun
Glad to see this comparison review , I really like the 365X 12rd grip and with the factory extension 15rds so you get the short side for appendix carry the eazy to grab longer grip 15rds
Thanks
Nice video and nice pistol!
Sadly here in Germany SIG pistols are very expensive, 2400 to 3000 Euros (2600 to 3300 USD).
I Love to shoot .380 ACP.
Greeting from Germany
This is a great review. Just bought my 2nd Sig p365. Got the XL to carry and found that it’s still quite large to carry for many various outfits I wear. Wanted a smaller frame, so I checked out the 380 version. I love that it’s the same gun as the one I’ve been using for several years now, just the smaller frame I’ve been looking for. I still plan to carry both depending on what I’m wearing, so it’s nice that they’re basically the same gun so they feel pretty interchangeable.
Thanks for the video, liked the 365 in .380
I recently switched to P365 9mm after carrying a Smith & Wesson Bodyguard .380 for more capacity and heavier hitting loads.. then they come out with the P365 .380… figures 😵
bodyguard is the worst micro shooter. worst long trigger. Glad you switched. I wouldn't want the bodyguard if it is free. not sure why many people buy them.
@@troytruong8246 I have a P365 and a Bodyguard. The P365 is obviously a better defensive tool, given the 9mm cartridge and higher capacity. That said, I've never had issues shooting the Bodyguard. The trigger is long and heavy, but it's smooth and consistent. I've found it pretty accurate out to 15+ yards. Not as good as the P365 of course, but definitely lighter and even more concealable.
Actually the bodyguard is much more accurate than the shooter shooting it in most cases.
I think this will be a great 380. Small but not too small. High capacity. Great sights. Good trigger. If the ammo gets more abundant and the price goes down from $400 this will be a winner.
The are $499 now
I got mine today for $475 in NE PA… most places locally are selling the 365 for $500-$600 depending upon caliber/ xl/ x etc…
Had the P365-380 for about 3 years, great firearm. I carry it almost exclusively. I like the XL in 9mm.
Great review as always. It would be a good trainer for eventually moving to the 9mm..
Great review. Thanks!
Thanks Kimo!
I will thx
The pistol that is underrated & gets no love, Steyr S9A1 subcompact. I have a C9A1, compact, which has a 17 round mag. Guess what? That 17 round mag fits & functions in the S9A1 too.
But the s9a1 its not a single stack. It compares more to a glock 26. Great pistol regardless.
@@Peter..Griffin My point being in fits in a jeans pocket with a stock mag that holds at least 10 rounds, maybe 13, but after its empty 17 round mags can be utilized as backup if needed. I just wish Steyr had night sites as stock. I put Truglo sights on my C9.
I love my Steyr M9A1
@@adambrown8867 theres a big difference in size between a steyr s9a1 and a p365. Sure you can pocket yours but not everyone has the luxury of having big pockets, or being big in size overall. For those people, this two pistol are apples and oranges. My wife is 5 feet tall and carries a g43 and for her is as big as me carrying my g19. Now, I do agree with you that all steyr strykerfire pistols are underrated though.
@@checkpoint3260 gigachad pistol. Nothing shoots flatter than it.
I have a 9mm p365 and LCP Max. Just went back to p365 for colder months. Made a good case for 380 model and may have to get this for next summer.
After watching your video on the Sig 365 .380 I bought one and it is everything you said it was. I normally carry a Bersa Thunder. 380 plus which I shoot very well. The thing I like about the Sig is that I can convert it to 9mm n the future which if I didn't watch your video I would have not been aware of that fact.. Thanks for your excellent evaluation of the Sig.
👍👍very convincing 👍 I want one 😊 another great show 🥂🏁
Soft shooting, fits small hands, relatively light weight. Good gun for those who are looking for those attributes.
This is what I carry every day. This plus FSM TUI by far my favorite have taken 3 hogs with it too.
Great Content. Thank You..
good review!
Thanks Xo
I personally will stick with 9mm. But someone like my mom who can't quite handle a 9mm but can shoot a .380 just fine. I'm going to show her this. Thanks Sootch!
or g42. my fav cc go to gun.
get her a ruger lcr 38spl
@@troytruong8246 I'm actually considering this. She loves my 43x, but that's mainly because I have an optic mounted on top. If I was to get her a G42 I would put a Holosun 507k on top of it for her for sure. Thanks for your input!
@@dlaw929 I forgot to mention she has a .357 as well. She has that mainly for when she's out berry picking & when her & my dad go camping. We live in northern Alaska, so bears are definitely present.
YOU ~ ROCK ! ! 🤛
Considering there's not much of an energy difference between 380 and 9mm, and handguns aren't very good at stopping threats anyway, if you find a 380 load that penetrates deep enough, an argument could be made this is better than the 9mm version. Shot placement is king, and the ability to put more rounds, more accurately, into a threat with this is pretty compelling.
Xtreme Defender rounds have reliable penetration. Paul Harrell has a review of the 380 Xtreme Defenders, they did quite well.
I would say there is a lot of difference in energy between 9mm & .380
@@ctusser Generally about a 150 ft lb difference. I'd bet that isn't going to make any difference in if it stops a threat. If a 9mm would stop them, chances are a 380 would too. As I originally said, handguns are lousy man stoppers anyway.
@@TheKalkara131 possibly depends on where, but 150ft lbs is more than an additional .22lr round shot from a rifle or two additional.22lr rounds shot from a short barrel pistol. That’s a significant difference and a good 9mm will have better expansion and penetration ability. True that shot placement is the most important factor.
I agree. Shot placement over caliber wars everytime. I’d rather have a 22 short i can put where ever I need to than a 454 casull I can’t control. Just my 2cents
Seems perfect.
Thanks for the video was hoping for this to happen been thinking of selling my shield ez380 for something better this may be the one I was looking for
They're ALL DIFFERENT! The reason humans are at the top of the food chain is their ADAPTABILITY! Practice actually works! If you are recoil sensitive, either practice more or get a BIGGER gun or use a smaller caliber! Shot placement is KING!
well said brother
Hey Sootch - love the video and all your reviews. Was there a reason your accuracy shooting (with target) was with the 9mm and not the .380 pistol (15:05 mark in video)? Would be nice to see how the .380 shot. Thanks!
Pistol has a consistent ejection pattern. One of the most consistent I've seen...
Its incredibly soft shooting in a larger heavier framed handgun. In anything smaller, which most 380 owners buy them for, they can be very snappy.
@@Pler1978 Some snappy in the Max, but not too bad. I own the Max and like it a great deal.
So many people buying the 365xl because it shoots “better/easier” this makes perfect sense. People love the 365 series but its too snappy for some in 9mm. Why if the 9mm is considered a pocket gun, is this too big? I have never heard so many people complain about being given choices!!
....because P365 is a tad too large for true pocket carry....it's still a holster gun. Ruger LCP Max is a good example of pocket size 380
All this does is make me want Springfield to come out w a Hellcat version 😜
Would a Hellcat in 380 be properly called a "HeckKitty "?
Love love love your videos. Summertime carry? Is there less threatening situations in summer? No. Carry year round. Caliber argument is marketing 💩🙉. You’re the man Sootch⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Enjoyed the video, I think more options is the ticket for most gun makers future. A lot like cars and trucks. 1 make and size don't work for everyone
What watch are you wearing? Excellent videos by the way.
I have g42 and p365 9mm. Been cc my g42 for 8 years. My p365 is collecting dust! g42 is the best micro shooter, and now the p365 .380acp? That's even better.
I literally saw 75 cents flying out of the ejection port with every shot. Man, that 380 ammo
More like $1.75 😆
really?!? i've seen 380 for .40 heck i'm not telling you where now though might go buy some more.
In Mi when yo can find it, .380 is about $10 more a box.
Online, 380 is not that much more than 9mm. 380 range ammo runs $0.38, delivered. 9mm runs $0.36.
.75 cents? Really? It's literally less than half that
Love a 380acp pistol ...
I put the sig 380 on layaway. When I get it I am gojng to compare it to my sccy cpx3 and Bersa bp 380 cc which I like alot
Sig, CZ, and Beretta.
3 of the best.
You know the Pistol is gonna be a fine piece if it has 1 of those names on it.
My 1903 380 colt hammerless is my backup for my 357 magnum
Good tactical thinking.
I just ordered one.
Glook needs to start producing the Glook 42X for sure. I'm waiting on The Glook 42X...
I would love to see more modern mid-full size 9mm pistols being offered in 380 but alas!
I see a bit market for 380 ACP. In my opinion, the aging population needs options.
I agree completely. I think a mid or even full sized 380 would sell like hotcakes, but nobody makes them with higher capacity.
Bingo to the Ruger Security .380 with 15 rounds.@@clint4237
Nice 380 !
SIG already made their guns in 380. The P230 and 232 probably two of the best ever made. Many Cops, including this deputy carried them as a backup for years. Nice review Sootch.
Don't forget the P238
@@jonnyt16 I didn't, I just chose not to mention a mini looking 1911. Sacrilege. As bad as a 9mm 1911. Lol
I've shot the 9mm P365 & handled the recoil but some new shooters I've taken to the range can't. They shoot my full size 9mm ok but a carry 9mm is not an option for them. At least for now. And they hate shooting my 11 ounce micro 380 pistols too. This 380 P365 is the best compromise I can think of for them.
All I can say is that, in our current day and age, there is a gun for every possible (real or imagined) desire, need, physical limitation or color preference! I'll just say "that's a good thing" and leave it at that.
FWIW, I began a 36 year career of law enforcement in 1973. I would have loved to have the choices in affordable concealed carry handguns we have now in the 70s-80s and even the 90s.
Just for fun…, it would be neat to have the chassis system of the P365, and barrel slide offerings in 9 mm, 380 acp, …and the new 30 super carry!! That would be fun… And check out Wilson Combat’s frame!
I would like to see and/or hear a recoil comparison between this and the lcp max
I have an LC-9. Fits in my pocket and can upholster it in my pocket. If someone would say Empty Your Pockets. Someone would truly be surprised. I can unholster while in my pocket turn it and aim for a real upfront and personal defense while never leaving the pocket. I’m 68 and as that I’m a target everywhere. I use a cane or walker, so it screams an easy target. Not! Between a 365 XL and that one I feel safe. It’s a choice, yes. But the 365 is more comfortable to me after it’s drawn and definitely at the range. They are two different guns and a different purpose for the same reason. Self-defense. Oh my LC-9 is narrower in the handgrip and the sights stink. But I point that, I’m not range shooting it and the triggers horrible.
C'mon SIG..... please do a .32ACP version!
I really like the 380. I like to own one like it in 9mm tho
Ruger pretty much owns the micro .380 market and has for a decade. I don’t see sales of a .380 P365 coming anywhere close to the 9mm but it’s costing Sig virtually nothing but a barrel swap and minor mag mod. It’s not like they are having to redesign the pistol and it is going to appeal to a certain segment of the market. I have a Glock 42 with the Vicker’s tactical +2, which is a terrific summer and light clothing carry piece.
Nice pistol 👌🏽
Very Good music, stirs the excitment, 🤣 !
Sig needed new 380 ACPs in the lineup. I'm only recalling the P238 being mass produced. The P365 is a great option. If it sells well (I know, a big if), they need a P365XL in 380 ACP and then a P320 compact in 380 ACP. There is a market for this round. Combined with the LCP MAX, it makes it an interesting market segment.
The P230/P232 pistols are the best selling .380 Sig ever had, though they would never sell in today's market.
A 365xl frame fits and functions on the 380. And Sig has a 12 rd mag that gives you an xl grip with spacer on the 380….or fits the xl grip frame without spacer.
@@cwolff5119 Are there long enough 380 mags for the XL frame?
@@External2737 yes go to the Sig site. They have a 12 rd 380 mag with a spacer.
@@External2737 by the way, the Tactical Development mag floor plates are the best.
.380 is so hard to find now and super expensive. I'm very recoil sensitive due to numerous shoulder injuries but I'm thinking of upgrading to 9mm just because of the ammo and trade ability.
And pistols of similar size and weight 9 mm usually have a little less felt recoil then .380 acp. It comes down to a difference between having a locked breach and a blowback action. A lot of people report that blowback actions are just a little harsher fwiw.
Tons of it on ammo seek. Also, the Ruger LCP max is like black magic. Buy one. ;)
@@richardcontinijr9661 Most modern 380s are locked breech
Come on, 380 isn't THAT expensive. I will happily continue to buy and shoot 380.
there is ammo online now readily available. not sure if I can plug this, but check out Lucky Gunner, they even have a channel on youtube to show the gel tests.
The BIG QUESTION IS, SINCE A LOT HAVE ALREADY THE 365 9MM, CAN THE 380 MAGAZINE WORKS IN THE REGULAR 9MM 365? so we dont have to buy the gun, just magazines, or a new spring rod
I have the Glock 42 and it’s a dream to shoot. I have the +2 extension. I wonder how the SIG compares with the Glock 42? I’m really digging this p365
Do you find the Sig P365 and P365XL more comfortable to shoot than the S&W Shield Plus CCW pistols?
Almost as nice as my Bersa BP 380 CC
" The chances of hitting your target are going to be even greater with this ". I can still manage a 9 mm recoil but when shooting such a light and small magazined pistol I would definitely prefere increasing the chances of hitting the target. Here in Europe 380ACP is consedered a valid defense round and I'm aware that sometimes in US it's not so, but I reckon it's mainly a cultural fact, bigger is better. 9 mm is still my main option for full size pistols, but I'd be glad to have some full size in 380 ACP as well
Has sig finished the guinea pig phase yet . How many recalls will there be? Not sure they ever fixed the pin drag on these.
Beretta should produce their 84/85 again. My favorite in .380
they do now.
Thank You for this Video,
What is the brand of the Speed Loader you used for the 365 380??
Thanks Again
.380 has a place in conceal carry. In my case it’s all I carry where as my 9 is home defense. I had a Walther ccp m2 in .380 but I hated the trigger so I was deciding on the Glock 42 .380 or the sig 365 in .380 to replace the Walther and I eventually went with Glock 42. The Glock 42 is so awesome I may buy another one but I’m sure the sig 365 would’ve been good too
People REALLY want to know when/if they are going to release a .30 Super Carry version of the P365 and/or P365 XL!!!!
And it could probably be 13 or 14+1 flush. That would be fantastic! As he always says, we're living in the golden age of guns🙂
The only Ammo I’ve seen for sale in .30 super is $1.50 a round self defense ammo. Most of us couldn’t afford to shoot it much.
Didn’t both of the guys who would be interested in the 30 Super Carry already buy one?
Nice one! Personally, I've been all over the place with this P365 business. I tote around a LCP Max (normally aiwb), which my wife intends to appropriate when she gets her CCL. She really likes the little LCP...whereas I, I'm not in love with it. But it boils down to shooting experience really, and I got a bit more than her, so I know the difference between a snappy little bastard and a pleasant shooter. Whereas my wife, with her limited trigger time, all pistols >.22 are hand-help cannons to her. I'm sure her perceptions will change as she shoots more, but in any case, for now she shoots the Max pretty well, and likes it, and I don't (although I do like it WAY more with the 12 round mag)...hence my LCP Max is gonna have a new owner.
So anyways, back to the P365, I was looking into one for my next carry pistol, but which one? I went studying at RUclips/Reddit university for the answer. Per reports so far, the base model is yet another snappy little effer, although a 9mm now. Things seem to improve somewhat with a 12 round mag or the X frame. And the X model seems the plateau, as the XL model's added benefit in size is countered by the heavier slide slapping back...so basically on par with the X-frame. Hmm, decisions decisions, but then P365-.380 enters the chat?
Btw, the .380 round ain't no slouch, at least with Hornandy Critical Defense or Underwood Xtreme Defender representing. Either one of those rounds will absolutely tear a dude's chest up just fine, especially considering the higher likelyhood of accurate followup shots with the .380's lighter recoil.
I recently went to my local range and shot the P365XL and the Glock 19 (gen. 5). While I was there, I noticed that they had a regular P365 9mm for sale and asked to take a closer look. While I liked almost everything about it, I quickly found that I could not rack the slide of the P365 no matter which method I used, despite being able to rack the XL and the G19 with relative ease (I can also rack a Ruger Security-9 without much trouble). Is the .380 version easy enough to rack to be worth considering, or should I just stick with the XL?
They better get this in a 15 rounder like the 9mm. If they do, they'll own the micro market. I'm assuming you could put the longer grip, grip module on it?
So will the 17rd 9mm 365 fit in the 380 then? Because if so I’m about to clear out the sig site of them.
I would like to try one of these with that zero snag version they attempted.
With the SAS ("no-snag" version) watch out for sights. Had one person complain about them after purchasing (I work in a gun store with indoor range). Also the slide release is VERY difficult to operate.
Pick one up in a gun store and check for yourself. Those issues may not be a deal breaker for you 🤷♂️
@3:44, it’s the reverse, unless your cam records in mirror mode.
Magazine lips of .380 at 4:41 mark are noticeably longer than of the 9mm magazine body.
I’m waiting for the 380 in the 365 XL. I have it in 9mm now but would love it as a .380
The 380 slide runs on the p365xl frame with the 12 rd 380 mag. Or the 12 rd with spacer will run with the base p365 380
