I like Carry Trainers videos. He now has 2 each of the P365 and the XL. Obviously, he likes them quite a bit. He's run his own classes with them and taken a couple 2 day classes from others with them.

The 365 is lighter than almost any J frame, except the 5 shot Airweight, with 2+ times the load. Let the pics do the talkin’. So much for a J weight advantage, eh?
I’ll take the 7 rds advantage for 5oz of extra weight.
Paid $448 for my 365 @Lawmans.

Nice assortment of pocket guns for a "not a gunslinger". Any examples of "gunslinger guns"?
I've tried to like it, but just can't. Its a good gun no doubt...but it doesn't fit me. Fully loaded it is too heavy for dress slacks. Leaning towards letting it go.
This is the 2nd one I've bought. I tried really hard...lol.
I probably would like to put it through an IDPA match...that might give me good feedback.
My main two carry guns are the P365 and the LCPII when I need extra concealment. That said I have had zero issues with my P365 and have put over 2500 rounds through it at this point. Any new P365 you buy now will be a "Gen2" model which essentially means they toughened up the firing pin to avoid the breaking issue the first one had.
I have a 365 and carry IWB with an Alien Gear holster on hip. Too much belly to appendix. With a 10 rnd mag and loose shirt no issues. It’s the most comfortable setup for me. Carry a 12 rnd mag as backup. Small guns required a lot of practice at least for me compared to full size pistols. 365 is a reliable platform.

@BatteryOaksBilly how much did you say you would pay extra for ports?

We have both models here. Ports and no ports. I can detect 0% difference.
But WTF do I know?????

Thanks to @BatteryOaksBilly & @RS I'll be buying at least one of these things in the near future.
So if any of ya'll 365 haters want to off load one (non SAS model) let me know. My ole lady wants one something terrible now that shes seen how well they shoot compared to her XDS.

You’re aware that version comes with white dot sights, right? Not suggesting there’s anything wrong with them but the other versions of the P365 do come with more expensive sights.
Ports And Night Sights are worth exactly $000000000.

I beg to differ. I’ve found that night sights make me a much more consistent shooter.
With ‘em, I can miss whatever the hour.

Opinions are opinions. Everyone has one... for my use case night sights aren’t necessary but, for those where this would be their only defensive weapon they could be. Personally, I rather like the FT Bullseye and it is the sole reason I went with the SAS mode. I’ve fired both the ported and non-ported SAS. I found the ported to be more pleasant to shoot and thus much quicker to be back on target. I was scarily accurate at rapid fire with the ported SAS the first time I fired it. The non-ported is going to take some practice and acclimation to achieve the same secondary round accuracy. However, I couldn’t find a ported mode when I purchased.

Come here and show me how NS are useful In The Dark. We have shown dozens of people Just how Useless they are In The Dark. We have thousands of shooters come through here. They all leaving understanding that night sights are to help you find your gun on the night stand.
We would love to have you visit us and take on the Wizard. We had another person defeat the Wizard today!! Number 10 of almost 2,500 tries. It should be easy peasy for a shooter with scary fast shooting ability.
We don't deal in opinions Here. Come and we will show you.

Am I the only one who really doesn't enjoy shooting the P365? I find it really snappy and uncomfortable, but it is accurate and conceals phenomenally.
Bought it to replace my 642 for pocket carry and it's great in that role. I picked up a XL frame and can still pocket carry without issue.
I feel like the odd man out because I just absolutely hate shooting the thing and vastly prefer my Glock 26. But for whatever reason, cannot bring my self to sell the damn thing!
