G43X doesn't work for me, which P365 variant?

[Acemcdill]

G43X doesn't seem to fit my hand really well so I was going to go to a P365 because it felt better in my hand. When I can hide it, I conceal carry a MR920 so still want something a good bit smaller than that.

Would a P365X make sense in my case, or should I be going towards the XL/X Macro? Anyone made the switch from a 43(X) that can chime in?

I've never carried a 43 but handled a couple and they just didn't feel right. The P365X works for me. I've started carrying this one most of the time. Light, concealable, fits me well and shoots great. This pic is when I was trying to decide between the Romeo and the Holosun. I still have the Romeo on it. If you're wondering about the light, this is also my nightstand gun and I wanted a light on it. It adds very little weight.

Two quick questions. How tall are you, and do you feel like the “rear sights” on your red dot are enough in case the dot fails?

P938

I'm an old stooped 5' 10". I'm no expert on how the sights should or might co-witness with the dot but for most of the situations that I think it would be necessary for me to fire my weapon I believe it would probably be more of a "point and shoot". The irons are somewhat usable though if the red dot fails.

I have a 365, a 365X, and a 365XL. The XL with IWB holster is my daily carry. They all carry and conceal pretty much the same. I just find I’m a little more accurate with the XL.

I think that’s a little too small for me

Thanks. Sounds like a X or XL are the way to go. I’m not a huge guy (5’9) and can’t always conceal my MR920, and the modularity of Sigs seem great. Just can’t decide if I should get that bigger slide and then have the smaller grip modules to move to.

There’s really only about 3/4” difference in the slides.

True, but I imagine the longer slide is a little easier to shoot.

I also have all 3. I personally prefer the X for my carry gun. Has a couple of more rounds than the smaller 365. I suggest you handle all 3 before making a decision. Usually a bigger store like Bass Pro or Cabelas has all 3. Academy sometimes has all 3. Just my 2 cents.

I dont have a 365XL, but I have a standard 365, a Hellcat, and a 43. My favorite one ot carry is the 365, second place goes to the Hellcat.

What about the G43X doesn’t fit your hand well? I prefer finger grooves on my Glocks and that’s about the only thing I didn’t like about the 43 series. I found out the other week Hogue makes a slip on grip that has finger grooves. I haven’t shot it yet but it feels pretty good.

I've rented the 365, but I have a thing for the Shield Plus more.

WIth the Hogue Jr grip, they fit my hands perfectly....

It's hard for me to put my finger on what feels off about it. It just doesn't feel great in my hand for some reason. Maybe the Hogue grip would help, but I do think the Sig line is really doing special things that the 43X can't keep up with.

I had just gotten a 43x when I ran across the p365.

I got a p365 and haven't looked back. I'm quite fond of the 365 series. They are Legos for big Boys

And Magguts.com has conversion kits for your P365 mags. Converts 10 to 12 rd and 12 to 14 rd. Still flush fit.

I forgot to mention I have Hogue grips on all my 365’s. It makes my giant hands fit them better.

I tend to like the X. Has the added grip length but is pocketable as well if I choose that option

Spend $70 and yet a WC grip module for the X or XL. I have the XL, smaller than my EDC C9 or a G19, just big enough to fit comfortable in my hand. Anything smaller than an XL keeps me from getting a comfortable grip.

Until WC did grip modules, the Shield Plus was #1 on my list for a subcompact after shooting all the non-glocks in the category.
