365 Grip Module Compatibility Login/Join

I wanted another 365, because I've found it's often easier to carry two micros than a spare mag, or at least as easy. I found a super deal on a very lightly used model with a tac pac. Being the child that I am with guns, I didn't notice it had a safety. Most of my pistols don't have them. I also have a new in bag WC grip module, in what they call coyote tan but I think is more green. It has no safety cutout. Can I use the module and just "freeze" the safety in an off position, or do I need to make a cut in the grip module? If I need the cut, is there a pattern somewhere I can follow (guess I could follow the original outline in the safety module)? Glad I bought the gun, and will carry it with safety if need be.

Thanks for the guidance!

You will need to cut the Wilson module to fit the safety. There are a number of templates on the net that you should be able to find. Though I have not done it, I understand it is pretty simple. Or, you can sell your module and use the funds toward one with a safety cutout.

Or you could follow the instructions in some YouTube video and take out the manual safety from the P365 FCU and then just use the Wilson grip module unmodified.

Remove the safety. If it takes more than 5 minutes you're doing it wrong.





If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

Excellent advice. I will take it and remove the safety.

There is no special safety cutout on P365 frame/FCU (unlike the P320) so just pop out the levers and put the pistol back together. (Note, I incorrectly wrote "grip" previously.)

I personally do not trust single action pistols without manual safeties so rather than remove the levers from one pistol I'd add them to the other so both pistols operate identically. A single range session should provide enough time to adapt to depressing the safety during the draw stroke.

Your call.

As for carrying a spare pistol I'm interested where and how you're going to carry it. Most convenient place seems to be on the opposite side of where the primary pistol is carried thus a "left hand" draw which (for me) would take a lot of practice.
