6:48 My outer impact riser flew off my 365xl twice. I installed the red dot with factory screws, blue locktite, and a torque wrench set to spec but the plate threads stripped. Both times the optic hit me in the face. First time i thought it was a screw issue and used new screws but the second time i realized it was the actual screw holes in the plate that had failed and promptly threw it in the trash. Thats why we wear eye protection i guess, and buy products with better QC.
The M-carbo trigger is incredible! I have one on my X- Macro. The trigger breaks crisp & is a light pull without as much take up as a stock trigger. It changes the way the 365 feels drastically improving an already good gun.
Happy to hear Kyle has almost the samw EDC set up that I do. LOVE my 365XL with streamlight. Only problem is finding a good holster that doesnt have massive gap around the trigger guard to fit the light.
My "P365 Specter Comp at Home" build is up to about 1100-1200rds. Im the past few months (about 300-400 this past month). Of course, I had plenty through the previous P365 setup, but when I swapped to this new slide from a relatively newer company I knew I had to prove that it was good enough for carry. Put about 500 through it without cleaning it and it ran perfectly, and since then I have cleaned it every couple 100 or more rounds, and it just EATS. I'm not super happy with their barrel, but I got it for cheap with the slide, so not the end of the world. I know some people have multiple guns or winter guns, but I kinda wanted to have a carry gun that I WANTED to shoot, and that's what I have now. The only criticism I have is that the trigger could be a bit lighter, but I am honestly not sure I want to risk the reliability (although I do have a second P365 that I could use as a test mule).
I love my XL, it's my edc as well,, 1 thing, Hogue makes an excellent grip for it, I pit it on mine,, absolutely superb,,,also, Close Quarters makes some great holster withe the flashlight attached, I have a Streamlight on mine,, great vid guys.. 2A AllDay
Currently EDC a G48 MOS, Holo EPS Carry, TLR7. Transitioning to a P365XL with Xmacro grip mod for the 17 round capacity, Holo EPS and TLR7 also. Tenicor AIWB holsters are pricey but amazing.
@@SnD340 Not crazy about the grip texture on the G48. Just doesn't lock in as well as the full size Glocks. May get a stipple job someday on it. Factory Sig grip texture is awesome though.
@@jcoolhand5 personally stipple jobs are not worth it (besides aesthetics) I much prefer talon grips or handle it grips for 15-20 dollars. Better and last longer than stipple. Can be easily refreshed for another 15 bucks. Yeah it’s more of a quick temporary fix but checks all the boxers. All my guns has the talon grip skateboard like grip tape. The abrasiveness does not bother me and I prefer it. I do agree on the sig texture. Wish it went higher on the frame though.
I carry the same Hornady Critical Duty 135 gr in my 43x with PSA micro dagger 15rd mags, running a Blackhawk Stache holster no light. Factory night sights, maritime spring cups, polished internals and grip frame plug. 2,000+ rounds with PSA mags zero malfunctions.
I remember when Mr. Lamb first was on your show it.seemed.like he was worrisome about your intentions. Now that he has gotten to know you better he is very comfortable with help promoting your message about being a dirty civilian.
Dude I’ve been watching your videos lately, since I got interested in the Tac Ops P365 , n I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your knowledge with me !!! 💥💥💥🔫Thanks from Commy Ct.🇺🇸
I absolutely love my SIG P365 with the XL grip. I wish I got the P365X so I could have a red dot. I highly recommend the Vedder pocket holster for lounging around at home!!
Have 2 of the same carry gun. One for the range and extra parts in a pinch... and the carry gun. The one you carry will be clean, lubed and ready to go amd comfortable cause you fire its twin regularly.
My EDC is and always will be my G19x... kinda want to mill the slide for a green dot but dont want to spend the extra $$ ... during the winter I carry outside the waist band and warm weather I carry it appendix with a flush 17+1 mag instead of the 19+1 mag that I carry outside the waist
I prefer the EFLX over the DPP. The buttons are far more simple on the EFLX. I still have my DPP but the button combinations can be finicky especially when you can’t see the optic turn off and you accidentally switch it to NV mode instead of turning it off.
This os an evolution of military carry. i been daily carrying since 1988 as a civvie then leo. Most who actually carried daily carried snubbies till mid 1990s. I still do. Small 9mm reliable didnt come till Glock 26 and then KelTec P11. Everygun civvie carry gun owes lineage to all 3.
I'm a new handgun owner so excuse my ignorance but I hear so many talking about effective home defense ammo, etc. I own a Canik TP9 Elite SC 9mm. Does caliber really matter that much in a defense scenario? I mean is 380 (or even 22) not going to stop someone if you're filling them with holes? I ask in all seriousness because if I was shot once with a 22 I'm pretty sure I'd be stopped
I don’t buy this that “aging eyes” is the reason people are going to red dot!!! Every brother and their son has transitioned to them. Josh is a prime example, he’s young enough to be Kyle’s son sporting a red dot. Great to see Kyle Lamb on the scene. He did a podcast with Jack Carr.
I have read that the critical duty is made for 4" ot larger barrels yet the 365xl comes in at 3.7... I went with the 124gr duties instead of the 135s. That's just me tho
Hornady Critical “Duty” in any bullet grain is made for full size handguns and is made as a barrier blind bullet that has significantly more penetration. It was made for LEO/MIL who might need to shoot through car doors or drywall, hence the “Duty” in the name. What you need is Hornady Critical “Defense” which is made for smaller sized handguns and is more tailored to the regular civilian.
"Technology is advancing..." Yes. Yes it is. BUT NOT JUST FOR THE 9MM! As bullet design improves with the 9, it also improves with the .45. The .45 is, and always will be, superior to the 9 in every metric except capacity. And capacity for a civilian EDCer is a modern fetish borne of watching too many John Wick movies. A go-to-war pistol should have great capacity. A LEO pistol should have great capacity. A civilian EDCer should have the most effective pistol he or she can shoot well. For me, that is an Ed Brown Kobra Carryt in .45ACP. Ultra, 100% reliable through thousands of rounds, effective stopper, and easy to carry with a good belt and holster. Win. Win. Win.
"The 1911 is the most shootable gun on the planet. " Yes sir. I have a Glock 19x on my battle belt in case of hell and am expecting God to hand me a 1911 when I get to heaven.
I don't like to ask this question here because I very much appreciate Kyle Lamb and you guys making this content, but this video really makes me wonder if Kyle Lamb is sponsored by Sig. He has a hard time drawing it from the holster, uses a sketchy riser instead of getting it milled and has a hard time finding the dot later on. Makes me wonder if that is really his EDC gun or just endorsement.
Dots due 1 thing great put the dot on a target and pull the trigger and you don’t have to get down low on your sights so it’s faster, but I must say the maintenance of the screws is the downfall
Not if you properly use thread locker, proper torque, and paint pens to witness mark them. I've had more issues over the years with the front sight screw on irons coming loose and the rear sight shifting due to an impact than any RDO issues with loosening.
Yeah, I can concentrate on the person speaking or the music... Both drove me nuts. I value information over entertainment. Now then, as to content the 365 variants are just crushing it for EDC purposes. With a Wilson frame and EPSc some pretty amazing shooting can be done considering the size.
I was thinking the same thing. Glad that they’re getting paid so they can keep making content but most people expect just one 60 second plug for a 20 minute video. Any more and it’ll start driving some people away.
Apparently you guys have no idea what it costs to provide the content they do and to be able to keep training and keep up with the technology to bring you the content they do and be able to pay themselves and the people making this happen. Not to mention they are giving you a discount code to their sponsors.
i’m curious how lamb feels about no back up irons with that delta point set up on the 365? i’m guessing he has more faith in the red dots given his experience???
gotta disagree on his light opinions just get a spare battery and keep it charged and swap them... you can also run more normal style lights with adaptors. and holsters are not hard to find for lighted pistols with like.. 10min of google searching
Here’s a thought: quit listening to TH-camrs and use your common sense and carry what YOU are comfortable with. I will watch some of these gun TH-camrs just because I like guns so much, but no way am I going to take any advice from them ever
I don't have a Glock I just use a 92fs and a bersa thunder plus simply because it's cheap and works for me. I wear coke bottle glasses redots don't work for me I'm near sighted and far sighted, I have to modify irons and I am not aware If they make mini prism optics for blind 42 year olds like me!
I had brain surgery and it messed with my optical center in the brain. I shoot okay with iron sights. Tried a red dot on an AR and saw double, two cross hairs! I can't really see the need for optics on most pistols, but willing to try a laser with a pressure switch in the grip. Crimson Trace used to make one for a Glock 21, but not a 30SF or anything I own. I think they discontinued even what they had made. I don't really understand the industry about optics.
Yea.. but velocity impacts hollow point expansion and the 9mm is going to generally have about 30-40% more capacity with the same footprint. There have been numerous ballistic gel tests on some of the more modern rounds 9mm v 45 ACP.
Problem with the carry pistol industry is nothing is standardized. Red dot sights should be all top load battery and all use the same footprint that has footprint studs. Iron sights should have all the same standard dovetails and on and on with industry standards.
It is standardized, until a brand new optic comes out. For a short while it was simply RMR or RMSC, but then the enclosed optics came out and alot required new cuts. Luckily like most formats, the market will determine the winners.
i think the type of round you carry is the least important. as long as it comes from a good vender. HT or FMJ they dont matter as long as you can deliver the shot. need training
RDS are the new "flavour of the month". No civilian needs a RDS unless it's for shooting sports....where accuracy (e.g. 2" groupings) and short split times are important. And most importantly...when no one is shooting at you. AOnce that happens....."2 inch groupins/split times" go out the window...the goal is then to get rounds somewhere on the threat (s) without getting shot.... Also real world (urban/suburban) engagements are at 10 yars or less....mostly less "point and shoot distances"..... Forget about RDS if you actually believe in EDC/CC and work on shooting basics e.g. the draw, trigger manipulation and having some kind of "tactical mind". all the firepower in the world means nothing if you "donm't know when to use i or how....in an urban scenario (vs a soldier on an OP or fighting a war...totally different rules of engagement/approach)...why (I think) a SF guy while great on "the battlefield" might not do so well in the city...new variables, litigation is a big thing...e.g. you through an extra punch and you're now the aggressor--assault.
Just not true these days. Engagements are getting further and further apart. Especially with all the active shootings, multiple attackers. Also target focus is the top priority, a red dot allows that far easier than iron sights. Go take a few defensive shooting courses and run a dot and you’ll get the point very quickly. There is a big difference. I still think everyone needs to learn how to shoot with iron sights still but if you have co witness you have the best of both worlds. On a small pistol like the hellcat you can take combat accuracy from 20-25yards to 75 yards almost instantly on newer shooters as long as the base fundamentals are followed. I’m still a proponent of carrying whatever you are comfortable with but dots are for civilian purposes 100%. Even within 10yards it substantially increases draw to shot, to split times, plus increases confidence. All are needed in self defense.
@AGC828 I thought the same once upon a time. Red dots are primarily a visual advantage not just for accuracy. The human eye cannot focus on the front/rear sight at the same time and it definitely cannot focus on both sights AND the target at the same time. It doesn't matter how well trained someone is, a fine aiming point of a pistol mounted MRDS is a huge advantage. We make the irons work but RDS is superior. Especially in an adrenaline dumping real world life or death scenario where the body WILL target focus automatically and you don't have time or mental clarity to fight and bring your focus back to the sights. I'd recommend watching some of Sage Dynamics older stuff explaining the Pro/Cons of RDS or read his white paper on the matter. Very educational. All that said, RDS is not perfect and introduces different problems and complications.
Sounds like the guy doing the factor ad might be taking Adderall or something. Idk how anyone can "forget to eat". Not judging you if you are man but if you are taking that stuff all I can say is stop taking it. It's super bad for you. I use to take it for adhd. But if you really do forget to eat then you should see a doctor. Again not saying any of this to be mean. I'm actually saying it in a caring way.
@@Just1Guy1000 haha yeah I've never met anyone like that. It doesn't make sense in my mind haha. When I use to take Adderall for my ADHD I would get like that so that's the only way it'd make sense to me. But I guess their psychopaths out there that just forget to eat 🤣🤣
The dude who made my V-tac sling that's been on my rifle for years. Thanks, Mr. Lamb.
Kyle is the man! V-Tac slings for the win. Still have 2 going strong after idk how many years
I love my V-Tac Slings as well. It's nice to have a sling long enough to work on a Shotgun as well as Carbines.

Why didn't you just tap the holes?
@@armorers_wrench because I don't have a tap that small and because it made me question the temper of the metal.
If you’re using Loctite then you need to torque lower than spec. Spec torque is always dry, not wet.

Forget about RDS if you actually believe in EDC/CC and work on shooting basics e.g. the draw, trigger manipulation and having some kind of "tactical mind". all the firepower in the world means nothing if you "donm't know when to use i or how....in an urban scenario (vs a soldier on an OP or fighting a war...totally different rules of engagement/approach)...why (I think) a SF guy while great on "the battlefield" might not do so well in the city...new variables, litigation is a big thing...e.g. you through an extra punch and you're now the aggressor--assault.

This might be the most bologna comment I’ve ever read
Just not true these days. Engagements are getting further and further apart. Especially with all the active shootings, multiple attackers. Also target focus is the top priority, a red dot allows that far easier than iron sights. Go take a few defensive shooting courses and run a dot and you’ll get the point very quickly. There is a big difference. I still think everyone needs to learn how to shoot with iron sights still but if you have co witness you have the best of both worlds. On a small pistol like the hellcat you can take combat accuracy from 20-25yards to 75 yards almost instantly on newer shooters as long as the base fundamentals are followed. I’m still a proponent of carrying whatever you are comfortable with but dots are for civilian purposes 100%. Even within 10yards it substantially increases draw to shot, to split times, plus increases confidence. All are needed in self defense.
@AGC828 I thought the same once upon a time. Red dots are primarily a visual advantage not just for accuracy. The human eye cannot focus on the front/rear sight at the same time and it definitely cannot focus on both sights AND the target at the same time. It doesn't matter how well trained someone is, a fine aiming point of a pistol mounted MRDS is a huge advantage. We make the irons work but RDS is superior. Especially in an adrenaline dumping real world life or death scenario where the body WILL target focus automatically and you don't have time or mental clarity to fight and bring your focus back to the sights. I'd recommend watching some of Sage Dynamics older stuff explaining the Pro/Cons of RDS or read his white paper on the matter. Very educational. All that said, RDS is not perfect and introduces different problems and complications.
Anything that increases the usability of your pistol, even by a tiny amount, without hindering its functionality is a win.
Sounds like the guy doing the factor ad might be taking Adderall or something. Idk how anyone can "forget to eat". Not judging you if you are man but if you are taking that stuff all I can say is stop taking it. It's super bad for you. I use to take it for adhd. But if you really do forget to eat then you should see a doctor. Again not saying any of this to be mean. I'm actually saying it in a caring way.
No drugs. It’s the inconvenience of stopping to eat when working on projects. 😂
Well take care of yourself man. Yourself is more important than these projects haha.
I've known some people who would forget to eat for a day or more. I'm like, how do you do that; I'm just not that way.
@@Just1Guy1000 haha yeah I've never met anyone like that. It doesn't make sense in my mind haha. When I use to take Adderall for my ADHD I would get like that so that's the only way it'd make sense to me. But I guess their psychopaths out there that just forget to eat 🤣🤣
Great vid!
Wow
