365 X

Love mine

I feel the xl version and/or the 43x mos are the perfect carry gun for most people (43x especially with the shield arms mags). Can also now add the longer version of the Shield plus.

If someone is looking for just “one” carry gun……those are about the best for “most” situations.

I have a few for different situations, so I like the regular 365X version.

The XL? Is the grip big enough for a big hand?

If a Glock 19 fits your hand well……a 365xl should be a good “enough” fit.

The xl is about 2 tenths of an inch shorter…..and the grip itself isn’t even that much different…….as far as grip length.

Now the grip is WAY different. It’s much thinner, it’s also much slimmer. One of the slimmest grips around.

Keep in mind the Glock grip is also angled more and different.

Yeah, I’ve been carrying a shield, so I’m sure that’s a big difference. I’ll have to go try one out. The reviews on them I’ve read have been great

If you have carried the shield and you like it…….I would just get the shield plus……if your looking for something with more capacity.

The grip is bigger in the right places and it handles well. Don’t get me wrong the XL handles well too.

If you want something “different” go with the 365xl…….it’s an almost perfect carry gun (for most people in most situations).

If you just want more capacity…..heck go with the plus. Almost the same as what your used to, it’s cheaper, and your holsters will still work……..and it’s a great gun…….and will outperform most of the sub compact 9’s out there.

For comfort and concealability you’re going to have to give up some size for sure.

Yeah I think the 365xl might be the perfect size for me to conceal carry. Carrying a 1911 in the winter isn’t bad, but it’s too much for summer, IMO. I have a sig tac ops 1911 that I love to carry in baggier clothes

No way I could carry a 1911 concealed, at least not comfortably. Right now I carry a hellcat with a Hyve extended mag base and occasionally my CZ P10c. The regular extended mag is ok too but the hyve gives it a little more length and an extra round.

Anybody have thoughts on using a red dot on a edc? I’ve never shot a pistol with an optic

They take some getting used to if you’re accustomed to iron sights. Personally I don’t like red dots on an EDC because if you ever have to use it, it’s more of a point and shoot situation than line up and aim and I don’t want a screen in my way. Now that’s just personal preference. I’m sure others would disagree.

that’s how I imagine it too, but I’ve never tried, so I can’t really say anything. Was wondering if anybody used them and liked them though. I love the Eotech on my Kriss, but idk how it would translate to a sidearm

I would say practice with it first before carrying on your EDC. Maybe do some quick draw drills and that should tell you if it works for you. But it’s all personal preference. Another thing to consider is the fact that it needs to be turned on or left on which means batteries become an issue.

I read that some come on with movement. Not sure how well that works
