    I got the P365 when they first came out. I took it to the range several times. I was constantly adjusting my grip because it was too small for my relatively long fingers. I found the H&K P2000 after that and it fits me much better.
    I felt the same way when I was shopping for my edc.. held but not fired at the time several offerings .. hellcat, 365, 43x, a g3 and the 43x felt the best in my hand and grip. No fumbling with it. It just fit the best. I shoot it ok but have maybe ran 3 or 4 magazines thru it

    I’ve been beside a couple of guys with 43x in classes, and a buddy has one, while I’m not a g***k guy they have performed really well in those classes and seem to be great guns.
    You know you’re beside one because of the ejection pattern. Gets me every time.

    I didn't really care for the P365 or the XL, but the P365 X Macro fits my hand really well. Haven't tried the P365x, but I'm not a fan of guns that small. I know it's likely just a training issue, but I always feel like I'd fumble something too small in a defensive situation.
    You can shoot mine at the SGE.

    As it has been said . . . I'm not a Glock guy either.
    But, for winter carry the 43X just fits me very nice.
    And ad a Apex trigger!

    Also like my Sig 365XL, it fits well also.

    I had a chance to run a few Sigs today. On the line with me was a P220 SAO Legion, P229 RXP 9mm, P229 Legion and a P226 in .357 Sig. The P226 was probably my favorite shooter but the P220 was awfully nice too.

    All were great but I did figure out that I need to work on my red dot skills more. In fact, I need to just get out and shoot a lot more. Skills be getting rusty.

    Yes, the P226 in .357 Sig is a nice shooter.
    But I usually carry a P229 .357 Sig.

    Reminds me that I have a P226 .40SW I bought new some years back, and when I swapped in the OEM .357 Sig barrel, it would sometimes drop the magazine when I was shooting it.

    I wasn't hitting the magazine release, and it did the same thing for others that fired it.
    Haven't taken the time to figure out why this is happening.

    Thanks. I hope to shoot it this afternoon but weather might stop me. What were you carrying/shooting prior to this and to compare to? Thanks. Tim

    Well, this isn't necessarily a replacement for my EDC, but I wanted one to test, compare and see what I thought about it. It's a fantastic gun, but I honestly still really like the CZ P10C OR that I've carried for the last few years. The Macro is close to the same size, but thinner and lighter, with a higher capacity. I normally carry concealed, OWB in a kydex pancake holster at around 2:00. I don't really need a thin gun due to how I carry, but I wanted something I could carry IWB in a pinch. This gun is definitely snappier than my P10C, but it's not bad at all. I have a HS507K X2 mounted on it and it does a great job. It's a slight bit less accurate for me than my P10C OR with a HS507C V2 on it, but that's likely because I've sent many more rounds downrange with the P10C OR. I would have no problem recommending the Macro to anyone, as it's a great option for an EDC IMO, aside from anyone who is recoil sensitive. While it's not bad for the size and thinness, if you can carry a standard double stack you'll get less recoil. Just my :twocents:

    So much for the effectiveness of the compensator I guess?

    I think the comp helps, but doesn't eliminate the recoil. It's pretty good for the size, but a standard double stack compact size gun has less recoil to me. Not by a ton maybe, but there's a definite difference. I was shooting the P10C OR and the Macro back to back at the range last week and could definitely tell the difference.
