Stopped by the LGS/range with my son to do some rifle practice. While chatting with one of the clerks after our range round, a SIG P365 X caught my eye. Now I had been contemplating getting one to replace my Kahr PM9, so I thought..."It's close to Father's Day (well, almost)..." so I bit and gave it a home. Very nicely balanced for me considering the magazine capacity difference.  If you like religion, laws or sausage, then you shouldn't watch them being made. | ||

Nice. I was on the fence about getting one, then I held a P365 XL at a gun show and bought it. It felt good in my hand. I'd bet it is easier to shoot than the PM9..  Happy Father's Day.. | |||

Happy Father's Day, and congrats on the new heater! IMO the P365X is the 'Best of Breed' in the P365 lineup, so you definitely made a good choice! I does have a minor shortcoming though and I would HIGHLY recommend the Armory Craft Extended Checkered Mag Release as an upgrade. I find the Mag Release on the P365 somewhat slick/lacking in purchase, and a little to flat to the Grip Module. The Armory Craft is only extended 2mm, but it's a night & day difference when compared to the SIG oem Mag Release. I consider it a mandatory upgrade the P365. Grayguns also makes one, but I purchased the Armory Craft version before Grayguns even offered it. Grayguns does not indicate how much theirs is extended though and I don't have any experience with one either, so I don't have any info to share for comparison purposes. Regardless, both are contoured & checkered to provide better ergonomics and to assist in positive purchase on the Mag Release. Enjoy your new P365X!  ____________________________________________________________ If Some is Good, and More is Better.....then Too Much, is Just Enough !! Trump 2024....Make America Great Again!

I put the manual safety on mine and it's my favorite carry. ____________________________ Eeewwww, don't touch it! Here, poke at it with this stick. | |||

Nice. Now for the REAL Father's Day gift, ask for an optic. | |||

I saw that as an option...how did you retrofit it? I got used that feature on my Kimber. If you like religion, laws or sausage, then you shouldn't watch them being made. | |||

I bought plain jane P365 over 4 years ago, with no manual safety. It had become my EDC almost immediately, and has never gone bang in any of the holsters that I carry it in. ____________________________ NRA Life Member, Annual Member GOA, MGO Annual Member | |||

I have a P365 with manual safety, but nearly all decently-designed holsters cover the trigger guard to prevent that type of accident. | |||

^^^There are even holsters specifically designed to cover 'just' the Trigger Guard.  Detroit Holster has such an offering, which is particularly well designed, and useful to those that carry in a large pocket or a purse. ____________________________________________________________ If Some is Good, and More is Better.....then Too Much, is Just Enough !!

My Kimber was the first pistol I had that had a manual safety--nearly all my other pistols are striker-fired, so I'm comfortable with that configuration. My previous EDC was a Kahr PM9 or MK9, similar in size to the P365, but whoa, the P365's double the magazine capacity without (to me) a serious weight difference is great.

I bought the kit and just cut the notch in the frame. I do believe they have the notch jig or you can just get one off eBay. https://osagecountyguns.com/fi...-conversion-kit.html ____________________________ Eeewwww, don't touch it! Here, poke at it with this stick. | |||

Nice pickup. Now go get some magguts springs for your mags and turn those 12rd mags into 14rd mags. It's a flat spring that take up less room in the mag body. I run them and they have been 100% reliable. Sometimes, you gotta roll the hard six | |||

^^^ Magguts for the P365 is gtg, in my experience, as well. Q | |||

Thanks for the info, Sigarms229 and 12131! I'll check those out. If you like religion, laws or sausage, then you shouldn't watch them being made. | |||

I ended up buying two P365's. One with a MS, one without. I added the MS to the second gun. I bought the jig to mark where the cutouts go. I removed most of the material with a small Dremmel grinder. Cleaned up the edges with a small flat file. I watched YT video on how to add the MS. It was all easy and quick. | |||

What did the jig cost and who sells it? I’ve been on the fence about having a manual safety on my a Tac Ops. -------------------------------------—————— ————————--Ignorance is a powerful tool if applied at the right time, even, usually, surpassing knowledge(E.J.Potter, A.K.A.
