Enh. I still have a 43, but have been CCWing a 3" .357 for the last couple of years due to ammo supply issues in 9mm.
I might pick up a couple of these after some public beta testers have resulted in another generation of tweaks, because then I'll have 9 round mags rather than 7 (with the Pearce +1 baseplates), so that's a decent increase in capacity. But for the time being, I'll stick with my .357 due to ammo supply & related feed geometry concerns (and the requisite testing cost to verify!). |

Quote HistoryQuoted: By that reasoning the G26 is only slightly thicker and gives you access to the standard Glock family parts, magazines, and accessories. It conceals just fine too. I'd rather have a 26 than a 43 or 43x for What neither the 26 or the 43X do, though, is fit in my pocket. One's too fat, the other is too tall. The 43 will work, but it only held 6+1 until now. The 365 and Hellcat will put 11 rounds in my pocket without any trouble at all, so those are what I carry 98% of the time now. I still have my 26 for the rare times I go back to IWB. Ever since the P365 came out, the G43 has only been useful as a niche gun for people who want something pocketable but can't or won't go outside Glock, and the 43X has basically been a worse choice than something else ever since it was introduced. If you’re able to pocket carry a 43, we all know why you’re not able to CCW most of these like normal. |

I have some issues with Sig, but there is no micro compact p365 killer. The platform is accurate, aside from the first run reliable, priced competitive, modular, and in wide use with aftermarket support.
It’s as small as practically useful. The last pistol that met most of that list first was a g19 and that’s yet to be killed as the go to compact. What are you killing with it other than making a pistol cheaper which isn’t always the best idea. Glock made a mistake by not coming to market with a equally sized and capacity pistol first. Sig sucks in many ways but they killed it with this design. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The P365 killer is the M&P Shield Plus.  I have the Shield, Shield +, 365 and 365XL. I carry the XL and the wife carries the 365, nobody carried the Shield anymore and I'm giving it to my 17yo daughter. The Shield + is nice, but extra mags are completely unavailable and I don't think extended mags are available at all. Aftermarket for the Sig is far better, lots of holsters and mags are everywhere. I'm going deeper and deeper into the Sig. I can't compare it to the 43 or 48 as I own neither, but I have several G19s that are not in the carry rotation at all. |

For me it came down to the 43x or the 48. I went with the 48. No regrets at all. I like it.
I just installed the Shield mag release and will test the shield mags soon. If they don't work I have a plan on how to fix that. Love my G19 but it's just a little bulky for summer carry. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: For me it’s not the capacity or the concealability even. The 365 is remarkable because they made a little tiny gun shoot and feel so good in hand. The 43 doesn’t do that for me. I agree. I own a 43, PM9, Sig 938. All pretty good but not on the same level. Honorable mention to the Shield Plus. It’s pretty damn good. Best of the competitors out of the box. P365 is still the OG & King of the micros. |

I had a glock 43 and after adding ameriglo sights to it I really liked it. I had vickers plus 2 extensions on the spare mags and a tti plus 1 for the carry mag. It was a good setup. These new mags give existing owners options finally. But it’s too little too late. This does not make it a p365 killer. The 43x maybe. The 43 would have been more popular if these had been out years ago. A $400 glock 43 is a good gun. But adding sights and mag options adds up or exceeds p365 price

Quote HistoryQuoted: The P365 killer is the M&P Shield Plus. It waa for me. That dinky lil 365 is a marvel of engineering with the way they crammed all that ammo in there. I rented one to try. Shot fine, but the grip was just too small for my large hands. Length of pull put my trigger finger in an odd spot for accuracy. Same story with the Hellcat and 43. Soon as the Shield Plus hit the market i took note. I'd shot a couple of original Shields in the past and really like them. I've carried a Plus ever since handling the first i saw. My previous CC for a decade was my trusty old G27. I am a hardcore Glock guy. The 27 sits in the safe. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The point is the 26 is more versatile than any of the above micro compacts. It was the original, and still the best. I shot my 26 really well, but if you're carrying something that thick and heavy just go with a 19. Everyone puts finger extensions on them anyway which ends up the same length. I replaced the 26 with a 43 with a TLR6 and pearce +1s. Been watching all these new micro compacts from the sidelines. The one thing I love about the 43 is that even with the tlr6 it's so light they you can carry it with drawstring shorts and not have problems. I'll wait for the reviews on these mags. Would be nice if they also offered a flush fit 7 for when you want deep concealment. |
