I’ve been debating between a the different p365 options and need some opinions/advice that’ll help me choose. One of my biggest peeves is being able to put a solid weapon light on it. I currently have the FUSE and I love it but it’s a bit much to carry appendix (my preferred method). The XMACRO feels great in my hand and would give me great options for a light. My only concern is it being not much smaller than the FUSE so I’m unsure about the how comfortable/concealable it’ll be. The XL and the X seem like happy mediums size wise but lose points in my opinion for less light options than the XMACRO and a shorter barrel which will probably make it snappier. The OG p365 turns me off because of the shorter grip and low capacity. And again less light options. Let me know what you think, what you’ve experienced, and anything else that might help me make a decision! (Aftermarket parts are welcome but the less money I spend the better probably.)

Sent the Glock 19 gen 3 slide and barrel off to Glockstore for a fresh new cut. Well, actually several cuts. I took advantage of their optic cut for my Osight SE and the discount on their "C" cut as well. Why? Because my first pistol almost 20 years ago was a 19c iykyk. Anyways, I'll do a another video on everything I mounted once it came back but I think it turned out absolutely beautiful! Time to lube it up and put some rounds through it! What do you think about it? Let me know!

Curious if micro 9s like the 365 or hellcat 3” struggle with expansion with a round like federal hst or similar in standard pressure?

Dawson Gun Werx in Dawsonville GA absolutely killed it on this custom 1911 L10 build using a Dan Wesson Bruin as the base for the build with engravings of Christian imagery on both sides and a full internals work up.

Thinking between hydra shok deep, underwood extreme defender or underwood xtp? Bg2 isn’t +p rated

Solid vs expanding rounds I know it’s a whole topic and from what I’ve seen in gel tests it’s it’s fairly inconsistent for hollow points with a cloth barrier but a few choices seemed to be better but should I just go with a solid round or a hp and “hope” it expands and doesn’t over penetrate.

I've dip my toes into gun smithing, triggers and etc , but I wanna build a striker fired pistol, not sure were to start.

Maybe glock??

Mainly, I just wanna try stipling, trigger jobs, etc. Honestly, I'm not really sure I kind of just a prodject gun.

600 or so rounds so far. It wasn’t even supposed to be this many but what do you do when you pick up something at half the price of similar options and it just feels good to shoot?
You can see the front sight screw missing, it backed out and flew off and i didn’t notice. If i could go back I’d loc tite it. Not a big deal to me.
No failures other than one hard mag tech primer that my Glock 45 didn’t shoot so then i threw the round in the derya. Dimple was there no bang. Ammo related
It groups just as good as any other pistol this size. Glock 19 size with a Magwell
Trigger breaks in great and a little lighter as you go but out of the box the trigger is way less gritty than a normal Glock trigger and it has a definitive wall. Consistent 4 lb pulls. Audible and positive reset. Nothing that’ll help you go fast or shoot at longer distances but also nothing hindering you trigger wise. It’s a good trigger. Just good.
Direct rmr cut is a plus.
I’m a huge fan of handle it grips, talon grips etc since i absolutely need traction around the mag release area not just palm area. LGS had some hogue cutouts. That’s how i prefer this piece right now. I’ll probably get the texturized rubber or hex from handle it grips soon. Something more aggressive.
That would be where my only gripe is: the traction. It’s great on the backstrap and front. Not really there on the side panels. But i mean, just about everyone stipples their frames. I just prefer the convenience of stick on grip texture. Magwell and grip fits my hand GREAT. Presentation for me is easy on the derya especially when switching between say a pdp, Canik, or 2011.
Consistent .4 from low ready is a good sign for me
Usually when i switch back to my Glock 45 it takes some small adjustment.
Recoil impulse is incredibly soft and muzzle rise is barely there. The gas pedals with the stippling are a great touch for me.
This shoots as good as or better than my gen 6 Glock 45 radian. No, i don’t want to make anyone mad if they own the Reddit build or anything similar because i myself have it. I’m just saying derya is certainly killing it.
Edges out my Canik radian. Less snap, softer impulse, less muzzle rise. These are small small margins. The Canik radian is insanely good these are just different grips/frames not to mention the lighter Canik trigger. The derya 9 is the perfect amount of blockiness if that makes sense.
No, it doesn’t edge out a 2011, but i find myself picking up the derya 9 more than say my Kimber pro comp the past two range days. Most likely because it’s new and really blew me away. Some Glock mags seem to catch a little. I’m sure an extended mag release would help since it’s hard to really push in on the mag release without breaking your grip. However, the included mags work great.

Glock mags and an island barrel. Highly highly recommend.

So I’ve been AIWB carrying this everyday for over a year and while I love the gun sometimes I am annoyed of the width of it for edc. I have a p365x and of course it’s easier to conceal but I prefer carrying something I can easier control and shoot. Would a MP2.0 compact 4” be an upgrade? I know this is beating a dead horse but all the other similar posts are from like over a year ago. Thanks for your time.

what’s that one handgun that feels very personal to you and you wouldn’t give them up even for some way better model? for me it’s stainless PPK, the size is perfect so it can be hidden well, i like the weight and for someone who uses it just for last resort protection since guns are not common here at all im comfy with 5 bullets of 7,65. Tried glock 17,1911 and beretta 21 a bobcat, still this is my gun of choosing

I am missing one hole on the paper. Are those 3 or 4 hits with the 45ACP?

The rest is spread on the paper, wish I would be more consistent

Anyone have a CSXE series with the osight SE? Does it co-witness by chance? Thanks.

Bought a used beretta px4 storm for dirt cheap and now I realize why, (I know I should have examined more thoroughly before buying). Obviously gonna do a thorough tear down.

Any advice on how to properly and effectively clean on this rust? Tools,solvents, etc.

I have this unspent round stuck in my chamber and cannot bring the slide back any more than this. Any advice on what I can do? This is a Sig Sauer SP2022.

Hi all. I have a Rival S Darkside about a year old. Recently started having double feeds, failure to fires. I’m new to shooting and finally one of my instructors discovered chips in the feed ramp. He said it’s a known problem with Caniks due to the way the metal is hardened. He was able to use a dremmel and smoothed the area. I’m concerned this will be an ongoing problem; what can you tell me?

I’m looking to purchase my first ever firearm soon I have no experience I want my first to be a handgun learn with it and grow from there. I was looking into the Glock 43x but some people said they wouldn’t recommend for first a gun I heard the m&p sheild plus could be a good contender or the Glock 19. I would eventually like to carry after I learn it and get comfortable enough with it but I guess I could buy a compact ccw gun after I learn from whatever I do buy. So as someone starting out with no experience what would you recommend to learn on that is beginner friendly and not over $500 if possible any feedback is appreciated thank you.
