Heck. Maybe the medium 12rnd grip won't be offensive enough in the pocket to change? Not the most exciting buy, but still interested in it for some dumb reason.
Great question
I don't know if I care about the straight trigger that comes on the XL and now the X that I bought. But getting that with the coming X.
On the plate, I think it makes this P365 more future proof if I do end up getting into red dots. I'm not against them, but kinda see their function being more suited for these smaller barrelled guns than standard sized (otherwise, what's the point of the longer barrel...
I sold my regular P365 for $10 more than I bought it for in under an hour online locally. Can't beat that (or understand it).
Also looking at just making up my mind on the PDP vs a G19 Gen5 to pick up at the same time. So this thread is timely with your pics at the top.
Didn't you pick up a PDP?
TunnelRat, what's your current favorite right now?

Really, the P365 isn't a pocket gun, for me. But I like that it is possible. Other 9mms are just out of the question, for me. So trying to stay in those parameters. Hopefully the X works. If not, to the standard grip for what looks like $30 and base plate changes to the 12rnd mags.
Thanks for the thoughts!
oops! I've confused myself into thinking the XL is stock 15rnd not 12rnd. So I guess the X sports the XL grip but the 3" slide. Meh.

If you can't conceal the XL, you won't have success with the X either. If you go to the extreme and get the original 365 you can get a slight advantage, but that and the X are MUCH harder to successfully shoot, especially for those with big hands. My XL has the Romeo Zero, but if not for that, it could fit in my front pocket. I like Aliengear Cloak Tuck IWB for any pistol except for winter carry, when I prefer a shoulder holster for larger pieces.
With the 3.7" barrel of the XL, you are right there with the CZ P-01 and not far behind the PPQ, etc. Basically full size performance in a slimmer and shorter package. I have 12+1 in the gun and a 2x12 mag pouch and feel fully prepared. I have zero interest in the extended 15 rd mag personally, because at that point I can carry my PPQ (and using 16 rd P99 mags to boot ). If I'm expecting a confrontation more serious than that, it's SBR AR time.
when the Zombies come (and they will)
Depends on how good you are at head shots. I do have a couple of thousand rounds of Buckshot I have been stashing.Is 9mm enough for Zombies?
I’d you’re already carrying two backup magazines, why not make one or both of those a 15 rd magazine? You seemingly have accepted the possibility of a longer shooting engagement and not having to switch magazines as soon would seem to have an advantage. Unless it’s a concealment issue.
Is 9mm enough for Zombies?
Each 12 rounder is shorter than a 15 rd and 3 x 12 is enough in my view. People can go around in circles to infinity on this debate, but I don't.
Who knows, maybe you'll one day be jumped by a Marxist Revolutionary Army division and all you can do is take several with you.
