The conflict between shoot ability and ease of carry and concealment has likely existed since the introduction of the handgun. You can't make the G48 smaller, but with enough dedicated practice you can become proficient with the 365. Put the 48 away and only shoot the 365. I have been carrying a handgun for self defense for 47 years. There are many guns in my safe that are far easier to shoot well than the 365X that I carry daily. But regardless of the circumstances, weather or event nothing compares with the 365. Now my range days practice and training is limited to the Sig. I'm only reminding you of facts you already know but everything you learn from shooting the 365 will translate easily to whatever larger gun you choose to shoot. You remind me of my granddaughter and I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and your journey with handguns and the accessories. Keep up the good work and good luck to you
I really, REALLY value your opinion, so when I saw the title of this video, I held my breath a little bit. I carry a P365XL and am glad to hear your review of the Sig!! My next step is to get my hands on the Enigma!!
Fantastic content, thank you. It's always hard for me to think in terms of my wife's size compared to mine, which there is a big difference. (i'm 6'2" 215 lbs and she is 5'4" 115 lbs) I do most of the research trying to find the best information for her concealed carry and your content is pure gold. I think we've narrowed it down to the Glock 42 and P365 380.
So glad to have you on the RUclips sphere and your content is always on point. Would love to see more B-roll of the things you’re discussing…for example, outfit options you’re able to wear with the P365 that you couldn’t with the 48, comparison shots of the grip angles, etc.
I took the standard grip off of my XL and swapped it for the shorter P365 grip as well, to further minimize printing. However, in doing so, I lost the benefits of a flared magwell and the extended beaver tail of the XL grip. Now, I have the new Wilson Combat P365 grip and it solved the beaver tail issue, and also fits better in the hand with its slightly wider grip and stipple job. You should check it out and let us know what you think.
Glad you are happy with it. If you want the gun to carry more comfortably against your skin you can take some high grit sandpaper to the areas of the grip that touch your skin, nice thing about the P365 is if you mess up too bad it’s not so expensive to get another. Also, small and light guns are easier to carry, I’ve basically switched from my P365 to a Ruger LCP Max, I’m cool with the decreased performance to get a lighter and smaller gun.
Thanks for all the great information on the P365 Series! Just added a P365X (w/ Romeo) and P365 - .380 ACP conversion kit (optic ready) to my already fantastic P365 Spectre Comp!
Here's something you can try if the grip is uncomfortably rough. Go to your local bike shop and ask them if they have any scrap inner tubes. My shop gave me an entire bag for free. Find a tube that is just a hair smaller in diameter than your grip and cut a length a bit longer than your grip. Force it on and trim down the excess. The grip texture will hold the tube in place from the inside along with the tension. The rubber still provides good grip but is smooth so your clothes still slide over it and it adds virtually zero width. If you don't like it, just cut it off. It cost nothing but the time and gas to stop at the bike shop, unlike a commercial grip sleeve. It is non-permanent so you don't have to buy a new grip (if your gun supports it like newer Sigs) if you go too far with a Dremel/sandpaper. If it wears out, put a new one on. You live in the South so give this a try to avoid wearing extra layers of clothing to protect your skin. Your hands might smell like rubber after handling it but the smell goes away as the rubber gets a little wear on it. It's certainly not big enough to make you smell like a tire shop. Smith & Wesson's M2.0 grip texture is about as soft as 60 grit sandpaper. Great for shooting, not so much for IWB carry even with an undershirt. They toned it down for the Shield Plus but for my M2.0 Compact I had to DIY a sleeve.
You picked the X because the slide comes optics ready unlike the standard model. If you bought the standard model you’d have to spend roughly 500 extra for a slide that is optics ready. But by getting the X model you only need to spend an extra 50 or so for a grip module. Smart.
I have two P365X and two XMacro TacOps. None of them are even close to “snappy.” Even with +P ammo in them. And I shoot them a lot. 9mm just isn’t that snappy a round.
Good video! It’s interesting seeing multiple perspectives on a firearm. I recommend looking into the the P365/P365XL grip modules offered by Wilson Combat. Pretty impressed with mines (P365X) and can’t wait to try it at the range. They also offer tungsten rods that can be inserted into the grip module in order to add a bit more weight. I might try those out whenever they’re available again 🤔
@@tessahbooth A Hogue Grip made a world of a difference for me. Very inexpensive and it is also very smooth against my skin. A company named Icarus, also makes premium aluminum modules. They have only one that's p365 grip length but a few that are xl length.
@@tessahbooth I had the same issue you described with the stock Sig grip against my skin. I recently upgraded to the Wilson Combat grip and it is SO much more comfortable! The front and back are heavily stapled to give you a great grip, but the sides are much smoother without sacrificing usability. I'm running AIWB with RDS, no light in a Centrum Velo4 + Spare mag in a NeoMag, weak side back pocket. Enjoy your content and perspective.
I just shot my Sig P365X for the first time and I was very impressed on how smooth and comfortable it shoots. It’s not snappy at all for such a small gun! I think if you’re experiencing a lot of snappiness then it could be that your grip needs adjusting.
P365 is a great conceal carry gun! 2000 grit sanding of the grip side against your skin works wonders! Or what I purchased was Wilson Combat grip and love it!!! Blessings...
The 507k is pretty awesome as pistol dots go. I've really fallen in love with Holosun with the 507c and 507k. I put the K on my 365XL. It's not quite as snappy as the regular 365 but does still have some snap.
Great gun selection! Although, I would definitely encourage you to continue the holster search. Unfortunately the sticky holster doesn't meet any of the requirements for a safe holster. I had to learn that the hard way when my gun fell out of it onto the tile floor. This video is an awesome guide for selecting a safe holster: ruclips.net/video/d-b0eL9fXVM/видео.html
@@tessahbooth checked out the ProTEQ Micro IWB. Expensive but lifetime warranty and beyond comfortable and concealable. I’ve tried Vedder LightTuck > Tenicor Certum 3 kydex and also ProTEQ kydex with leather backer.
How satisfied are you with your purchase since owning it for 4 weeks? I’m thinking about buying one for the red dot sight, already have the plain 365. What are the pros and cons?
The Hogue grip makes the 365 a lot more comfortable to shoot and it’s soft, doesn’t sand paper your skin! I have a 365, X,XL. I use the Hogue on all of them!
I’ll probably get a lot of flak for this but For the brutal Texas summer months, I use some light feminine panty liners: fold it over so a third of the sticky side is exposed and stick that to the holster, then the slide and your skin is protected by the cotton side. I replace them whenever I sweat through the liners 👍
I love my Glock 48 and it's a really really good shooter. Still feels as if the grip is a little long to conceal any other way than appendix carry in normal Texas weather, when it's not 8 degrees outside. I have been researching the P365 and now the P365X. I still can't decide which one I would like better! Not planning on using a red dot. Decisions, decisions.
I've used a Dremel to tame the grip stippling if it's too aggressive. The stone bit and just barely touching the grip was enough to keep some of the stippling to help grip but not be uncomfortable. It takes about 30 seconds. Could probably do the same thing with an abrasive rock.
My EDC for 95% of the time is my Sig P365 with an Icarus Precision 7075 t-6 aluminum grip module and Magguts magazine inserts taking the 10rd mags to 12rd mags at the size of the pinky extension 10rd mag size. I have found EDC perfection IMHO.
Do you use a pinky extension with the 10 round mags? I’ve found that’s a good compromise between the xl grip and the standard grip. I actually have an xl slide on a normal 365 grip and use a pinky extension. I think people refer to to this configuration as the p365L. For me it’s the best configuration for concealment and shootability.
That’s pretty much exactly the gun I’d like to get. X on top, standard on bottom. Sounds like you should be practicing with your carry gun a lot more. After all, that’s the one that you want to be most familiar with
My P 365X came with the Romeo Zero on it but honestly did not care for it. I swapped it out for the standard rear metal sight plate and glad that I did. I like the P 365X but I will still keep my Glock 19 & 26.
Great video 🙏 Glock and Sig Sauer are fantastic weapons. Look at H&K sometime, very expensive accessories are the only negative. My husband and I are owners of all three firearm manufacturers.. They're all quality handgun manufacturers 😃 Thank you for sharing your videos.
I have a P365X and use the conventional/original Enigma with Phlster’s Pro Series holster. I have problems fully concealing it b/c I’m overweight. (I’m female with usual curves and a significant muffin top) I’ve been wondering if the Enigma Express with sport belt and skeleton holster would help to conceal more easily. Do I need the express? Would a Skeleton holster and Sport Belt help with concealment?
Another great video! I wish I had more knowledge and forethought when I got my P365. While I LOVE it, I want to get into a Holosun optic and as you know the P365 if not set up for it. I really had no idea at the time, that an optic is a great choice for the average person. Hopefully your video can help others make the best choice for themselves the first time around. 😉
@@sarahhauptman that is what I’ll eventually do. I talked to a local guy who said if I time it right I’ll only be without my 365 for 2-3 weeks. I’m just being a spoiled brat because I don’t want to carry my backup with a belt while my primary is getting milled. I’m so spoiled with the Enigma Express! 🤩😎😂
You should check out the Icarus Precision 365 frame. It’s a major upgrade for it in every way. Carry a full size Springfield XDM 10mm and a Sig P365 XL with an Icarus precision frame along with my fixed blade, blackjack and OTF Microtech, with spare mags for both and edc trauma kit/cat tourniquet. It’s sounds like a lot but it’s all Greyman style. Icarus precision is truly the best upgrade for the 365 tho!
You can tone down the grip texture with a Scotch Brite pad. Sandpaper works too but it smooths the surface quickly. The nylon pad keeps you from going too far too fast. Talon grips work very well too.
I carried a revolver for a long time before switching to the P365 and and found myself defaulting to aiming along my thumb bone because I was familiar with a more exaggerated grip angle. With the P365 this resulted in a low point of aim. The solution for me was to mentally "aim" with the flat of my palm along the grip backstrap.
I am going to add my $.02 to the discussion. I have a 43X and a P365 both with optics. Due to the grip angle with red dot sights it is extremely difficult to accurately shoot guns back to back drawing out of a holster. I have found you have to stick to one and practice until it is second nature acquiring your target with the red dot. I am more accurate with the P365 so it is the one I carry. Your miles may vary.
Have you ever thought about becoming a Lawyer ? You are so well spoken and clear and well like RUclipsrs they just ramble on and on and talk in circles. But you don't do that.
I like running just the circle on the 507K, but I will say that the new RomeoZero Elite model is a big improvement. The circle is much crisper than Holosun since they use a point-source emitter versus a masked LED. With the new glass lens, it’s appears to be a great value at $180. For me, it’s a place holder until the Holosun EPS models come out.
Great review, useful information and an articulate presenter - a female counterpart to Chris Baker at Lucky Gunner. I appreciate the content (which I unfortunately overlooked for a while, maybe because of "...and Styled" in the title).
Have you seen the Wilson Combat 365 and 365XL grip modules? I just ordered one for the 365XL, it's a bit wider, which is the main complaint for me on my XL, even with the Talon grips. It's very affordable and all you have to do is install the included mag release button and pull the trigger group from your current 365 or XL and drop it into the new grip module. Literally takes a couple minutes to do it.
Thought the (Sig P365) “X” has the same capacity/frame as the “XL”, but the same sized slide as the regular/initial 365? With that said, you should be able to carry 12+1rds with the X, no?
Since your focus when looking into the Sigs was concealment, I'm curious about whether you looked at or considered the P365 SAS, and what you think about it. I considered the original P365, the SAS, and the XL, which were the only models available at the time. I ended up buying the XL--and I'm completely satisfied with that choice--but the concept of the SAS has always intrigued me.
I actually tried the SAS a little over a year ago before I bought my Glock 48, and I generally don't have a positive opinion about it, at least for private citizens. The "snag proof" thing never made any sense to me, and the sighting system is unnecessarily cumbersome to me. Snag proof wound up translating to "more difficult to manipulate" than anything else. The only time I could see this potentially making any sense is when someone plans to use their gun entirely for deep concealment (entire gun below their belt line), and even then I'm not sure if it would make much of a difference. The P365XL is an excellent choice.
@@tessahbooth, thanks! To me, the SAS and its snag-proof features seemed most appropriate for use as a pocket or purse gun, or perhaps as a backup in an ankle holster. The reviews I saw of it suggested that the sighting system made it much more difficult to shoot accurately. Whatever I chose was going to be my first gun--the one I'd be learning on--and it didn't seem to be a good platform for that. I know that some will say that no subcompact is a good first gun because of the low mass and increased felt recoil, but since I'm retired and need to watch my pennies, it is likely to be my last gun as well. So I decided to put up with a slightly longer learning curve to get something that I was pretty sure I could live with long-term. Thanks for all your great content!
I have a Hellcat and am looking to switch to a 365x optic ready. I got the HC thinking I ordered it optic ready nope. I tried to upgrade trigger n the slide plate and mag release. Not happy.
Let me guess, you bought the P365X because it comes optic cut but you wanted the shorter grip and couldn’t get it in the optic cut in the standard P365. You also didn’t want the xl because of the length of the barrel. Also, if you go into Sig’s website and build your own you noticed that the price was way higher for some unknown reason.
Maybe you don’t want to invest more money in your Glock, but you can purchase a 43X slide and the shield Arms 15 round magazines, and it would be like owning 2 guns. I bought the 365X as well. I’ll shoot it today. I too made the decision for the concealment aspect. My hands are much larger than yours but I do like how it feels.
You should check out my most recent 48 video. I don’t really have any interest in the shorter slide, and have spent a good amount of time with my Shield Mags. ruclips.net/video/CrGHzePZOMY/видео.html
Thank you for the great content! I have been on the fence between sig and glock for my wife. Great to hear your thoughts/female perspective. Any recommendations for a first gun/holster set up (for wife)? Have a great day!
All of that will totally depend on what she likes, and how she intends on wearing it. Although, I will say that this could be a helpful video to watch before you guys go to the gun store looking for her gun :) ruclips.net/video/YpB9WLQUtp8/видео.html
In a previous video, you mentioned the ability to use a SCD as a safety factor in favor of Glocks. Not to put you on the spot, but I was wondering how you reconciled giving up this capability with the Sig. I am considering the purchase of a striker-fired CCW, but coming from a DA/SA background, I find the inability to "thumb the hammer" a little disconcerting, and I'm not a fan of Glock ergos.
It wasn't necessarily something I felt needed reconciling, just extra care. The SCD is very nice to have, but that's not to say that I feel as if it's imperative for a safe reholstering process. Although, knowing that my Sig has a fully tensioned striker, I holster my gun like a little old lady, very slowly and intentionally. That's not to say that I'm not cautious with my SCD equipped G48, but just to say that I take extreme caution with the P365. That said, I absolutely see it as a downside to the P365, and if I move away from this platform, that will absolutely be a factor.
Hahahahaha I remember going back and forth with you about thinking a 48 carry’s better then a (365 or XL or 43x) is insane especially on a female… glad you came to your sense which I’m sure you did as I said you would by carrying that gun everyday and feeling like there is a better opinion and it is not that they are better guns then the 48 but they carry better especially if you’re going to carry 365 days a year now you how it got it’s name. Funny you tagged the silly principle again when that principle prob came out before the modern holsters people have today
I still think you might be misunderstanding how the principle works. The keel principle still applies here in terms of dimensions, but the keel principle is also a “principle” and not a “rule”, it does apply, but you always have to weigh the cost/benefit of the reduced outward tipping with the increased length.
@@tessahbooth that’s what I was explaining to you last time… just because a slide that goes past your waste line isn’t some magical thing that will help it carry better… it’s why people chose a 19 to carry more then a 17 and a 43x more then 48 and people honestly choose the 365 or X over the XL to carry personally it I THINK XL is the perfect in between between the 43x and 48
I had a Glock 43x and didn't care for it same with Glock 19. Plus no milled slide and plastic sights. So tried Sig 365XL loved the gun the sights the slender body just despised the trigger and the way it shot for me it consistently shot and grouped 6" lower with same sight picture as my Glock. So I tried the Hellcat and immediately loved it shoots way better than Glock or Sig.
I'm here in Spring can't find a good place to shoot without spending 22.00 bucks got run off under bridge by the LAW. SO somebody help just want to shoot safely I've been in to fireams pew-pewzs all my 70 yrs I'm old but good did I mention I'm Old? Let it happen!
It's funny because you're not the first person to mention this haha. Hand movement is my personality though, I talk like that in just about any setting :)

That is what i am waiting, i have a Hellcat but if that CR920 shoots better i'm switching to Shadow.

Great video 🙏 Glock and Sig Sauer are fantastic weapons. Look at H&K sometime, very expensive accessories are the only negative.
My husband and I are owners of all three firearm manufacturers.. They're all quality handgun manufacturers 😃
Thank you for sharing your videos.
I have a P365X and use the conventional/original Enigma with Phlster’s Pro Series holster. I have problems fully concealing it b/c I’m overweight. (I’m female with usual curves and a significant muffin top) I’ve been wondering if the Enigma Express with sport belt and skeleton holster would help to conceal more easily. Do I need the express? Would a Skeleton holster and Sport Belt help with concealment?
P365 X is the best!
Have you tried the Wilson Combat grip module?
Another great video! I wish I had more knowledge and forethought when I got my P365. While I LOVE it, I want to get into a Holosun optic and as you know the P365 if not set up for it. I really had no idea at the time, that an optic is a great choice for the average person. Hopefully your video can help others make the best choice for themselves the first time around. 😉
You can always send your slide out to be milled for an optic. :) That's what I did back before you could get them optics ready.
@@sarahhauptman that is what I’ll eventually do. I talked to a local guy who said if I time it right I’ll only be without my 365 for 2-3 weeks. I’m just being a spoiled brat because I don’t want to carry my backup with a belt while my primary is getting milled. I’m so spoiled with the Enigma Express! 🤩😎😂
@@kristismith5162 Ahh, totally fair! You could also buy an extra slide that's optics ready, but it's about twice the price. 😬
@@sarahhauptman almost tried to talk myself into another Sig While I was at it 🤪
@@kristismith5162 Hahah! Now there's the correct answer! #enabler
You should check out the Icarus Precision 365 frame. It’s a major upgrade for it in every way. Carry a full size Springfield XDM 10mm and a Sig P365 XL with an Icarus precision frame along with my fixed blade, blackjack and OTF Microtech, with spare mags for both and edc trauma kit/cat tourniquet. It’s sounds like a lot but it’s all Greyman style. Icarus precision is truly the best upgrade for the 365 tho!
Using optics for range shooting is fine. Using the iron sights is more practical for EDC because the bare iron sights gives less chance of printing.
Welcome to the club... glock tend to be overrated on so many different levels
Still love my Glocks! :)
The rubber talon grip for the 365 is great.
You can tone down the grip texture with a Scotch Brite pad. Sandpaper works too but it smooths the surface quickly. The nylon pad keeps you from going too far too fast. Talon grips work very well too.
I carried a revolver for a long time before switching to the P365 and and found myself defaulting to aiming along my thumb bone because I was familiar with a more exaggerated grip angle. With the P365 this resulted in a low point of aim. The solution for me was to mentally "aim" with the flat of my palm along the grip backstrap.
I am going to add my $.02 to the discussion. I have a 43X and a P365 both with optics. Due to the grip angle with red dot sights it is extremely difficult to accurately shoot guns back to back drawing out of a holster. I have found you have to stick to one and practice until it is second nature acquiring your target with the red dot. I am more accurate with the P365 so it is the one I carry. Your miles may vary.
Have you ever thought about becoming a Lawyer ? You are so well spoken and clear and well like RUclipsrs they just ramble on and on and talk in circles. But you don't do that.
I had issues with the grip texture as well. Look into Talon Grips, that did the trick for me. The rubberized texture is good to go.
I like running just the circle on the 507K, but I will say that the new RomeoZero Elite model is a big improvement. The circle is much crisper than Holosun since they use a point-source emitter versus a masked LED. With the new glass lens, it’s appears to be a great value at $180. For me, it’s a place holder until the Holosun EPS models come out.
Are you interested in p365 kydex holster test?
Great review, useful information and an articulate presenter - a female counterpart to Chris Baker at Lucky Gunner. I appreciate the content (which I unfortunately overlooked for a while, maybe because of "...and Styled" in the title).
Have you seen the Wilson Combat 365 and 365XL grip modules? I just ordered one for the 365XL, it's a bit wider, which is the main complaint for me on my XL, even with the Talon grips. It's very affordable and all you have to do is install the included mag release button and pull the trigger group from your current 365 or XL and drop it into the new grip module. Literally takes a couple minutes to do it.
Thought the (Sig P365) “X” has the same capacity/frame as the “XL”, but the same sized slide as the regular/initial 365? With that said, you should be able to carry 12+1rds with the X, no?
I’d also carry the X with the P365 grip module, but I’d most definitely add the PMM compensator as well. Far too snappy without it.
What kind of ear protection do you wear? Can you put up a link?
Since your focus when looking into the Sigs was concealment, I'm curious about whether you looked at or considered the P365 SAS, and what you think about it. I considered the original P365, the SAS, and the XL, which were the only models available at the time. I ended up buying the XL--and I'm completely satisfied with that choice--but the concept of the SAS has always intrigued me.
I actually tried the SAS a little over a year ago before I bought my Glock 48, and I generally don't have a positive opinion about it, at least for private citizens.
The "snag proof" thing never made any sense to me, and the sighting system is unnecessarily cumbersome to me. Snag proof wound up translating to "more difficult to manipulate" than anything else. The only time I could see this potentially making any sense is when someone plans to use their gun entirely for deep concealment (entire gun below their belt line), and even then I'm not sure if it would make much of a difference. The P365XL is an excellent choice.
@@tessahbooth, thanks! To me, the SAS and its snag-proof features seemed most appropriate for use as a pocket or purse gun, or perhaps as a backup in an ankle holster. The reviews I saw of it suggested that the sighting system made it much more difficult to shoot accurately. Whatever I chose was going to be my first gun--the one I'd be learning on--and it didn't seem to be a good platform for that. I know that some will say that no subcompact is a good first gun because of the low mass and increased felt recoil, but since I'm retired and need to watch my pennies, it is likely to be my last gun as well. So I decided to put up with a slightly longer learning curve to get something that I was pretty sure I could live with long-term. Thanks for all your great content!
Good choice young lady!
I have a Hellcat and am looking to switch to a 365x optic ready. I got the HC thinking I ordered it optic ready nope. I tried to upgrade trigger n the slide plate and mag release. Not happy.
Thank you!
Let me guess, you bought the P365X because it comes optic cut but you wanted the shorter grip and couldn’t get it in the optic cut in the standard P365. You also didn’t want the xl because of the length of the barrel. Also, if you go into Sig’s website and build your own you noticed that the price was way higher for some unknown reason.
Maybe you don’t want to invest more money in your Glock, but you can purchase a 43X slide and the shield Arms 15 round magazines, and it would be like owning 2 guns.
I bought the 365X as well. I’ll shoot it today. I too made the decision for the concealment aspect. My hands are much larger than yours but I do like how it feels.
You should check out my most recent 48 video. I don’t really have any interest in the shorter slide, and have spent a good amount of time with my Shield Mags. ruclips.net/video/CrGHzePZOMY/видео.html
Thank you for the great content! I have been on the fence between sig and glock for my wife. Great to hear your thoughts/female perspective. Any recommendations for a first gun/holster set up (for wife)? Have a great day!
All of that will totally depend on what she likes, and how she intends on wearing it. Although, I will say that this could be a helpful video to watch before you guys go to the gun store looking for her gun :) ruclips.net/video/YpB9WLQUtp8/видео.html
@@tessahbooth awesome! Thank you for the reply, we will definitely check it out, and thanks again for the great content! 🤙🏻
Would you switch to the new .30 Super Carry...?
I don't know that I would necessarily switch, but I am VERY interested in trying one out.
YES!!!!!! I knew with persistence you would switch from Gl💩ck to Sig Sauer. Every smart person comes to their senses.
In a previous video, you mentioned the ability to use a SCD as a safety factor in favor of Glocks. Not to put you on the spot, but I was wondering how you reconciled giving up this capability with the Sig. I am considering the purchase of a striker-fired CCW, but coming from a DA/SA background, I find the inability to "thumb the hammer" a little disconcerting, and I'm not a fan of Glock ergos.
It wasn't necessarily something I felt needed reconciling, just extra care. The SCD is very nice to have, but that's not to say that I feel as if it's imperative for a safe reholstering process. Although, knowing that my Sig has a fully tensioned striker, I holster my gun like a little old lady, very slowly and intentionally. That's not to say that I'm not cautious with my SCD equipped G48, but just to say that I take extreme caution with the P365. That said, I absolutely see it as a downside to the P365, and if I move away from this platform, that will absolutely be a factor.
Are you switching from the Glock for better concealment ?
Do you have any plans on trying the larger P320 series as well?
My husband just picked one up for competition, but I don't plan on spending any time on it at this point.
Oh yea do they have a Metamucil bar at th range getting dry here.
I have the 365x with the holosun407k and let me tell you I can put holes inside holes at 30 yards all day
That's awesome!
Why does the barrel point up at an angle with the slide back?
It has something to do with the locking system, but it’s pretty common!
Do you find that flat trigger a lot to get used to?
Personally, it took no time at all. Like riding a bike!
I use the rubberized Talon grip on my Shield Plus to mitigate the rough texture rubbing against the skin and works wonderfully. Sells for around $20
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I know this isn't your kind of content but if you could Please talk about CRS Firearms and bring some light to the situation....
It's not commonly lectured, if at all, that shooting accurately and precisely is half dependent on your experience with your firearm of choice.
One thing for shure, she spent a lot on glock before switching to eqaully expensive Sig Saur .
Hahahahaha I remember going back and forth with you about thinking a 48 carry’s better then a (365 or XL or 43x) is insane especially on a female… glad you came to your sense which I’m sure you did as I said you would by carrying that gun everyday and feeling like there is a better opinion and it is not that they are better guns then the 48 but they carry better especially if you’re going to carry 365 days a year now you how it got it’s name. Funny you tagged the silly principle again when that principle prob came out before the modern holsters people have today
I still think you might be misunderstanding how the principle works. The keel principle still applies here in terms of dimensions, but the keel principle is also a “principle” and not a “rule”, it does apply, but you always have to weigh the cost/benefit of the reduced outward tipping with the increased length.
@@tessahbooth that’s what I was explaining to you last time… just because a slide that goes past your waste line isn’t some magical thing that will help it carry better… it’s why people chose a 19 to carry more then a 17 and a 43x more then 48 and people honestly choose the 365 or X over the XL to carry personally it I THINK XL is the perfect in between between the 43x and 48
It’s snappy because of its ridiculously high bore axis.
Dots get you on target faster , but for myself, it doesn’t make me shoot better . Just don’t see me using the platform.
I had a Glock 43x and didn't care for it same with Glock 19. Plus no milled slide and plastic sights. So tried Sig 365XL loved the gun the sights the slender body just despised the trigger and the way it shot for me it consistently shot and grouped 6" lower with same sight picture as my Glock. So I tried the Hellcat and immediately loved it shoots way better than Glock or Sig.
You can replace the sights. Crazy idea right? 🤯
Sig p365 x macro just dropped. Take a look
BTO is the best there is.
This video should be called the Glock 43x
Too bad you didn’t put in any b roll of you shooting/wearing it
I'm here in Spring can't find a good place to shoot without spending 22.00 bucks got run off under bridge by the LAW. SO somebody help just want to shoot safely I've been in to fireams pew-pewzs all my 70 yrs I'm old but good did I mention I'm Old? Let it happen!
Really good information. I only have one suggestion… your videos are distracting and difficult to watch because of constant hand movement.
It's funny because you're not the first person to mention this haha. Hand movement is my personality though, I talk like that in just about any setting :)
Show the gun a little more and I’d watch
Yeah, this video definitely needed a lot more video of the gun. I've implemented that feedback into my more recent videos.
Sig😒
What a trashed out range! Slob shooters just feed the furor about 2A community!
