While I was a way on vacation a bunch of parts I won or ordered came in. Some new Fuse grips and a stripped XL slide amongst them. Maybe if I do a different color, I can hang on to this a little longer.

 

I'll spare you the safety clearance process and get right to coating. Oh what the heck, why not then a little serious tape job.

 

Coating in Coyote and a little cure time and we will be in business.

 

I really like the Coyote, now time to put it all together.

 

Beauty!

 

Vortex Defender CCW should be here today. I really like this build. Hopefully I get to enjoy ot for a while.

 

OD or Coyote, I like them both. My son dropped off OD Green version #3 for a trigger swap, so I can grab a photo of the difference.

 

My son dropped off OD Green version #3 for a trigger swap

Do you have a link to a good video or step by step instructions with pictures that show how to swap triggers on the 365? I've done it on a couple of my 320's and it's pretty easy, but I've got a flat trigger for my 365 and haven't installed it yet because it looks like a PITA to do. Maybe I was just scared off by a bad video, but I would like to get it installed someday.

 

Version #1 with the lettering, version #2 with the gold and version #4 just a P365.

 

I did get some spare parts from my sons FCU swap to my OD Green version #3. So maybe version #5?
I bought a bunch of these Brownells slides on clearance and gave the builds to family and friends who brought an FCU or donor. I seem to keep getting them back for a second go at it when they trade up. Its a win win for me.

 

Bring back the stenciling!

 

Yea, I may go back to the beginning and replicate #1. Same starting point, would be an easy build.

 

Beautiful Work !!!

 

Nice pistols!

 

I'm a fan of the original P365, so I particularly like version 4. That looks sharp!

 

Shoots good too.

 

THAT I like!

 

It can hang at the range too.

Great thread with my morning coffee!!!

 

Nice work!
I've assembled pistols for each of my kids and now that my grandkids are having kids of their own, it's time I start with my grandkids.
Great tradition you have going there.
