I’ve been doing a lot of research into compact firearms and I keep coming back to the SIG P365 and P320. I’ve seen tons of discussions about both models, but I still find myself torn between the two.
Size and Weight
One of the primary factors for me is size and weight. The P365 is known for being super compact and perfect for concealed carry, while the P320 seems to offer a bit more versatility with different frame sizes. For those who own both, how do you feel about the weight distribution and comfort during extended carrying?
Usability and Performance
I read that the P365 has a great trigger pull and be reliable even in a compact size. However, I’ve heard the P320 shines in performance, especially during range sessions. What are your experiences with recoil management and accuracy with both?
Customization Options
I’ve always thought about customizing my firearm to suit my preferences. I’ve seen a lot of options for the P320 when it comes to aftermarket parts. How does the P365 hold up in this department?
Recommendations
Lastly, I’d love to hear your personal recommendations based on your experiences. If you had to choose one for self-defense or everyday carry, what would it be and why?
I’ve been looking into the P365 and P320 as well! The P365 is more compact and is excellent for concealed carry with its lightweight design. It’s really easy to hide.
Absolutely! The P320 is more of a duty weapon. It’s heavier and larger but offers a higher capacity and more stability, which might be better for range use.
From personal experience, the P365 has amazing ergonomics. It feels like it was made for my hand. However, I do find the P320’s modularity really appealing for customization.
While the P320 has a modular platform, the P365 is often touted for its impressive capacity for its size; it can hold up to 12+1 rounds. Perfect for concealed carry in my opinion!
I’m leaning towards the P365 for everyday carry. It’s light, easy to conceal, and I’ve heard the recoil is manageable. Plus, it looks pretty snazzy too!
Generally, the P320 feels sturdy and solid, but I wonder if the weight might be an issue for all-day carry. Others seem to love it for duty use, though.
If you’re looking to carry all day, I recommend the P365! However, if you need it for the range or as a duty weapon, P320 is the better fit. Why not try them both out?
Sure, but can we just take a moment to appreciate both designs? I mean, talk about aesthetics! With the right grip, the P320 can feel amazing while also packing in more rounds.
Haha, I never thought I’d be passionate about choosing a gun until this! But you made a good point about aesthetics, Kyle! Anyone else feel that gun selection is like choosing a new pair of shoes?
I’ve had a P365 for over a year and it’s been incredibly reliable. Even shooting in the rain, I’ve never had a failure-to-fire. The accuracy really shines at both close and mid-range.
I also own a P320, and while it’s a bit larger, I find it offers great recoil management. During stress drills, I felt more confident with it compared to my smaller models.
I’ve shot both at the range. The P365 felt snappier, which took some getting used to, but for concealed carry, it’s hard to beat its size. Accuracy was great too!
You’re right about the size, @marccooley. The P320 feels like a tank in comparison! But for target shooting or duty use, I prefer its weight and stability.
I always say if you’re just starting out, the P320 can be a tad easier to handle during long sessions because of the reduced recoil. My accuracy improved tremendously with it.
That’s a good point, @mcclurebrittany. I’ve seen experienced shooters get more tired with the P365 because of its recoil in extended use. Training often makes a difference!
