Take away the slide cuts (other than the comp/muzzle cuts) and it wouldn't be bad. I think the Sig version looks a lot cleaner and hopefully Sig will offer similar SOON.
Otherwise, I may have to get one of these.

Some people are going to like it, some won't and some will be curious. No wrong answers.
If the Sig XL Comp didn't have gold accents, I would have picked one up as soon as I could have found one. Curious as to how the compensator impacts recovery and felt recoil. Heard good things that have kept my interest.

Always wanted a compensated pistol and while there's larger options, my on/off duty weapons of choice is the P365 family. Makes sense to add to the ecosystem in my pursuit of a compensated pistol. About a year ago, I'd be looking at the P320 line-up for a compensated model.

If a compensated compact pistol isn't your game, no fault in that choice. Just as there's no fault in those who are interested in that option.

I am curious, of those using custom slides with all of the open slots in them, how many of you concealed carry these pistols? If you do, how much debris gets in your pistol?

I would imagine that a can of dust-off next to the safe would do the trick. Much like dealing with dust around the base of the magazine or in the little pocket in Glock's grips.

I tried the canned air. Didnt work too good because the grit is in with the lube. If you run it real dry its not too bad but I keep mine fairly wet. In my job I was always under dozers, excavators, mud, ice, snow etc. Not being able to stop what I was doing if it got in such a condition led me to run them wet.

I can see why you keep things wet. The most common issue on my end is holster dust. Every now and then rain, but mostly dust. Maybe a small air compressor pushing a few hundred psi?

I like the FDEZ slide but to get a complete slide assembly (slide, guts and sights) you're looking at $650 plus shipping. While $500 in savings isn't something to laugh at, it's not too far from owning a complete pistol.

I like the FDEZ design a bit better than the AC but, still hoping Sig offers the slide assembly at a decent price or they offer a blingless version that's below $1000. Luckily, it's not something I have to hurry up and pick up.

Still want either the slide or Sig to release a version without the bling.
Doesn't have anything to do with anything beyond wanting to adding a compensated 365 version to my inventory.
I could see in being included in the rotation or possibly replacing the XL. Just depends how it compares after a little range time and how it performs shooting our qualification course.
