Red dot sights on carry guns
With all the new fancy little guns out there with options for red dot sights like the P365XL, G43X MOS and Springfield Hellcat etc...just curious if anyone is actually carrying one with a red dot on it? I have a P365 XL and am thinking about a Romeo zero for it. I don't own any handguns with...
I recently got my 365XL also. I put the MCARBO spring kit in a couple days ago and will be taking it to the range soon. I will put a few hundred rounds in it with the new springs before I start carrying it. I’m leaning towards a Holosun 407k when I free up some funds.
Over the past few motnhs I have been starting to get familiar with pistol optics and picked up an XL for that reason. I mounted a Holosun on mine and zeroed it last week and ran about 300 rounds through it. My primary EDC for many years has been an M&P Shield 9. I have a few Shields including a Plus and thought about just having one milled, but went with the P365 in the end. I must say, I really love the feel of the XL and it shoots great. Will take some practice with that small optic window and aquiring the dot.
Overall, I am really liking pistol optics though. My full size pistol is a CZ P09 milled with an optic and an Elite LTT RDO with Holosun.

Copying me? LOL....I have the same two and same setup. Is that the TLR7 Sub on the Sig? I don't want it to extend past the barrel. The TLR 6 is fine, but my Kydex guy doesn't make one for that light just yet.
It is the TLR7.
If you have a TLR7, maybe you could send it to him so he could form your holster.

Thank you! I put 100 rounds through it Thursday and then again yesterday. It's definitely a learning curve, but getting there. Man I LOVE this little thing. I am surprised at how easy recoil managemnt is with such a small frame.

Sighted in at 15 yards. No complaints.
The base 355 felt so perfect in my hand with the 12 round mag, I bought Wilson Combat XL grip for it.
Incidentally, anybody want a WC grip in regular size? Or a factory module improved by yours truly, with some 1000 grit sandpaper to take all the sharp edges and ridges off?

I might need to try an XL one of these days. I've been very happy with the regular P365. I shoot left-handed and swapped the magazine release to the right side. I noticed the magazine follower would catch on the sharp edge on the inside of the magazine window the magazine release engages. Not a big deal, it just made it a bit more difficult to load when the follower hit that section. I disassembled the magazines and knocked the sharp edge off with a file. I also had some rust on the outside of the magazines and ended up painting them.
My xl holds a little better group not sure if it's the strait trigger or the longer grip or maybe the extra 1/2 inch barrel.
All thought a 15 round mag makes the 365 grip just as long as the xl. The dove tail on the xl makes it a little more uncomfortable to apendex carry when stting down. The slides will interchange so i can put the xl slide on the 365 and eliminate the dove tail. The 365 with the 12 round mag is perfect. The down side is the 10/12 mag will not fit the xl.
Was in 10 ring the other day and a lady came in and said her P365 had had some light primer strikes and didn't go off. She also said she had a few stove pipe failure to extract. She is also a re loader.She re ran the light strikes and the did go off the next time. The counter man gave her some suggestions to try. But that is the first time I have herd about any like strikes that failed to make it go off on the p356. All 3 of mind have been flawless. I sugested that if it happens again to call sig and have them send her a new striker spring. I didn't ask if hers was a first or seconded gen or not.'That would worry me for my carry gun, but hopefully she gets it worked out.
I’m only learning about reloading right now but maybe the depth of the primer in her reloads, could have caused the light strikes.
