first impressons-P365
took my 365 to the range yesterday. fired 135 rounds, 100 blazer brass, 35 124gr. gold dots. At 15 yards most rounds were in a " group slightly left of point of aim. I definitely preferred the 12 rnd. mags. Only complaint was mag release was hard to find. does anyone make a replacement yet? A slightly extended release would make a great improvement.

I'm not aware of any aftermarket releases. A 3" group at 15 yards with a pistol that small is pretty impressive. Sounds like a good fit for you.

I love mine. Thus far, I've got 1500+ rounds down the pipe with not even a hiccup.

3500 rounds to date on a March build, without issue. It is everything I hoped it would be.

Have you shot any +P loads? Wondering how it feels shooting hotter rounds. My G43 feels like it is ripping my fingers off when I shoot +P loads.

I should have said most rnds. were in a 3" circle, had some fliers,but group center was about 1 1/2".relly like so far. I have been carrying a 3" Kimber Eclipse which has been flawless with Gold Dots until the other day. my cleaning has been lax recently as we have moved and I blame myself for malfunctions I experienced last range trip. I am leaving on a trip and will take the 365 although I would prefer to run another 100 or so gold dots just to be sure of reliability.will try to do just that before I leave but time may not permit.

In my 365, ( and G43 ) I've fired a couple hundred rounds of +P from each pistol, no sweat.

The 365 is a little more pleasant to fire +P from than the 43. In fact, my carry load in the 365 is Speer GD 124gr +P Short Barrel.

I tested my P365 with Speer Gold Dot +P. The recoil is definitely more than target loads, but less than a Glock 27.

+1 on this. I switched from a 27 to the 365 and very happy thus far.

Yes, the followers apparently get chewed up some. Used 2 mags to go through 600+ rounds and the followers were quite marked up afterwards.
