    Got my first gun this Christmas. I have always been afraid of guns but it was time to learn to protect myself in today's environment. My nephew is nice enough to give me lessons. I chose the Sig P365XL manual safety because I have small hands and was having difficulty with the mag release of an old Makarov my husband has. I really love my gun. Thanks for all the reviews.

      Good for you! Also being afraid of guns before you research and learn is a very good thing. You understood how serious handling a fire arm is and I can almost guarantee you learned a lot faster than people who weren’t afraid or people who don’t take it seriously.

      Cyndi Kirby. I've got broad, thick hands, but short fingers, and the Sig P-365XL fits so well, I carry 2, "New York Reload" style!!! Try it with the 15 rd extended mags!!! I think you'll like it!!! And forget the manual safety. You won't need it!!!

      Oh, sorry for the rants, but also...I purchased a Sig P365 in May. Just 2 months ago, and I sold the junk after testing about 500rounds to see what ammo worked better. None worked better. It had double feed issues constantly and was literally worse than a hi point in my opinion. Once again, I prob received a messed up gun from the factory. Instead of going through the sending it back process or whatever, I just sold it for $500

  • @jmackultra
    @jmackultra 4 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    I feel like the PPS M2 should be higher on these lists but at least people like it enough for it to make the list. It's the nicest shooting single stack I've had and it has never messed up on me. I wholeheartedly agree with the #1 spot though. The Sig 365XL replaced my PPS M2.

    I just got the 365 XL yesterday. First subcompact/micro gun I've ever bought (Owned about 20 different handguns throughout the years) and I'm having a hard time grasping just how small this thing is. It's even crazier that it has a 12 round capacity. I mean the thing is just freaking tiny compared to everything else I've owned. Smallest handgun I've owned before was the P320 compact and that thing is chunky compared to a lot of guns let alone the 365 XL. Still, it feels amazing in my hand. Super easy to conceal, and I know looks don't matter but god damn does it look sexy. Was comparing it to the regular 365 which was 80 dollars less, but with the flush 10 round my pinky was hanging, everyone said the XL just shot better, and I prefer the flat trigger so it was a no brainer.

However it's a little big for me to carry everyday. I went to the range and the Walter dealer was there and let me fire his collection. Glad I did... I would have never given Walter a second look before that. I believe Walter is underrated and can hold up to just about any other pistol. Plus they don't break the bank!!!

      Through the 80s & 90s, Taurus was great. During that time, they were taking other's designs & improving on them. I would happily own anything from this period. In the late 90s they released their own design on a DAO polymer frame which completely sucked. I loved Taurus so much that I bought one of the first ones and almost immediately regretted it. It took them 2 decades, but they are finally putting out some quality stuff again at amazing prices - which is what I loved about them back in the 90s. I have a mid 90s pt945 which used the p92 design in a 1911 Commander package (remember what I said about them improving on other's designs?). Unlike most 1911 variants, this thing will eat whatever ammo you feed it including SWC. It is a true workhorse, and in my opinion, a thing of beauty. I am currently looking into the G3 and the TH9. I am also patiently awaiting a G3s. The prices on these things are completely insane for what you are getting. I an so happy to see Taurus getting their $h!t back together.
