I have occasion to train a good number of novice shooters with handguns. Part of my basic course is how to choose a defensive handgun and we have about 20 handguns of various design and manufacture for people to consider. I have been consistently impressed with how well novice shooters do on the range with the P320 compact. Now enter the P365 and I am seeing novices take to it as well. Good ergonomics, trigger, ease of operation of the slide, and good sights come together to make these guns novice friendly. I sound like a Sig salesman but these things work. I now have a P365 and four P320's that we use in training and for what it's worth, other than a bad extractor on an early P320, have had no malfunctions with these guns that were not shooter induced.

Perhaps a novice will not recognize that reliability trumps capacity! Just a thought.

P320 is stupid easy to shoot - if you suck with one, you REALLY suck.

Before too long, someone will be along to comment “Just don’t drop it” Roll Eyes

One of the greatest strengths of the P320 is the ability to grip the gun any way and still get really good results. I’ve not ever seen a polymer gun that just doesn’t care about bad grip inputs.

My concern with novices learning on the P320 would be the increased risk of them dropping it leading to potentially disasterous results...

I just suck, but I like the P320 anyway.
