I tried the 43x and 48. Just never liked them.
I’m looking at the shadow systems cr920. It seems to be a pretty decent option and just up the road is their plant.

For me the Sig P365 (10+1) is perfect for pocket carry and the 365XL with a holosun sight (12+1 or 15+1) for either OWB or IWB are my go to guns for the summer. In winter I usually carry a compact S&W M&P 2.0 with a holosun OWB under a jacket.

I shot my brother-in-law’s P365, and while I like it, I like and shoot my Shield Plus better. The trigger on my Plus is awesome for being striker-fired, too. My only complaint so far is the grip texture, while perfect for my semi-rough hands, is too abrasive for the skin on my hip when I carry it IWB without an undershirt.

I have small hands which makes it harder for me to carry anything larger than a micro 9. To make things worse, I had my right hip replaced last year, and that makes it difficult to carry IWB at the 1:00 position--the gun and holster rub on the operated area and it gets pretty painful. For the same reason, I can't carry in the right front pocket. It's beginning to look like I'm goin to have to start carrying at IWB at the 3:30 - 4:00 position. I don't particularly care for the crossdraw and I'm not too dexterous with the left hand so that may be a nonstarter although I guess I could give it a try.

Any Suggestions?

Thanks

I bought a 26 and had it milled for a Holosun 507K. I have not carried it yet for two reasons. The holster I was using will no long fit it due to the red dot, so I need a new holster. The other reason is that during the time I was waiting for the 26 to return to my hands, I started carrying the 19X. I found that with my attire, it was no problem to conceal. I am currently looking for a red dot holster for the 26, but am enjoying carrying the 19X.

Had to do a little work to get the Holosun to fit, but was no problem. It is very smooth no sharp edges. Put a Holosun 507K and it is perfect. It is like it had a melt down treatment. It is a great shooter.

Carl,

If you ever decide to sell that Hellcat, I want first dibs on it.

Joe

Yes sir. I may have already sold it I don’t know anymore Joe. Ha! I guess that is what the old age does. I have reverted back to revolvers. I have been carrying a S&W 327 5” on Sundays and a S&W 327 2” during the week. Both 8 shot and I carry an extra moon clip.


Edit: I did sale that Hellcat Joe. Sorry. I replaced it with an Sig Sauer P365-XMacro Comp. It has the same red dot and more rounds.

What didnt you like about the 43x/48? I had a cr920 and didnt like it at all, i need my whole hand to fit on the grip, dont like pinky extension mags so I dumped the cr920 and build a custom 43x, love this thing.

Had a hellcat rdp, didnt like that either. Havent tried the p365 variants or the FN. Shot the Canik Mc9, great canik trigger but didnt like the short grip on that either.

Hey Carl, that's okay. I am always looking at the firearms you have for sale. I can't afford most of them, but that's okay. They are good guns.

I hope things begin to change now. However I start physical therapy November 13. It is Mike it never ends, but I am fighting the mobility scooter and mobility hair with all I have. I spent six years in one around 2005 forward. Once you depend on them they are very hard to get out of. Lunch still sounds good.

Carl

I like the Sig P365 for pocket carry and the P365XL for summer belt carry under light clothing.

Both have extended capacity mags available to provide more grip length if needed.

I'm very pleased with both.

Lunch sounds good to me also.

This is my 43x with the PSA Micro Dagger 15 round mags and a EPS Carry Green dot sight. This is my small 9mm, my larger 9mm is a Platypus 1911 with a EPS Carry green dot also.
