I purchased my Sig P365 yesterday. For the most part my EDC is a Sig P320 X-Carry. Love that pistol. But now and then it would be nice, I thought, to have a pistol I could take in to otherwise denied areas (like the theater) where a bulkier gun is not only more uncomfortable, but easier to send a snowflake into full panic mode. FWIW I live in a state where "no gun" signs are advisory only and do not have the force of law. So if I am doing my job right and concealing my pistol properly, no one (except a potential bad guy) should know that I'm carrying.

So I went to the local range and shot the P365, and bought it on the spot. Its a bit snappier than the P320, but it gets the job done just fine. And with a 12 round magazine in there, its a bit less snappy.

I was surprised at how light the gun is even with a full 12 rounds in the extended magazine. So, here's my idea for a terrific ad for Sig.

Put a generic 1911 with its 7 round magazine on a scale showing its weight fully loaded, and put a P365 on a scale next to it showing its weight (or use scales like the scales of justice with a gun on either side).

Here's the tag line: The P365: for when you want more than ten rounds, but less than ten pounds.

Whaddaya think?

Starting to love this gun too...

Well...I love my P365, but I love my 1911s too. However, even my full size Wilson .45 is nowhere near 10 pounds. Unloaded P365 17 oz, three of my commander size 1911s unloaded, 29 oz., give or take some 10ths on each.

So actually, less than one pound difference. Even less with loaded mags since 10 9mm rounds weigh more than 9 9mm rounds. Creative try though!

Well, SIG may not be able to keep a straight face while trying to maintain their, "To hell and back reliability" line, which has not infrequently turned out to be a one way trip. Your ad suggestion would at least be in keeping with their penchant to overstate things a bit.:rolleyes:

I'll take the extra weight, thank you! In my case that'll be a 90's P229 40 (a for sure round trip ticket).
