Autos, even small ones, can snag on the rear of the slide during the draw stroke. It doesn't happen every time, but enough to disqualify autos. I replaced a 642 with a G43 and tried for a year and several different holsters. I went back to an M&P 340.

Plus you can have spare 12 and 15 round mags. I really like the P938 however for just a little more width I have 11 rounds ready to go. Mike

I’ve been running a G43 for the last 5 years, and I’ve been impressed with it. It’s a very dependable pistol, and it’s not something that requires any maintenance. I’ve run a lot of guns in IWB and AIWB in the summer, and sweat on them profusely. Glocks are the only guns I’ve run thus far that don’t have any issues with corrosion from the sweat, since I rarely clean my guns.

The P365 is a highly respected pistol, particularly in my agency where at least 60% of officers are running Sigs. A lot of the Sig guys are running the P365 as an off-duty gun.

Been carrying it as a backup too on duty. Qualify every year with it since 2016. Ranger T loads. 100% reliable
