I think you are right, things are trending more toward smaller full caliber guns. eventually they will have a 2" 9mm that holds 20 rounds, and still fits in a pocket. So far the three you mentioned are the size that hold more rounds in a pocket size gun and are still reliable. It used to be that if you wanted reliable it came only in a larger gun. DRI hate to say this ... but I think the Sig P365 will eventually fizzle out in popularity, just like S&W's Shield, Glock 43, and so on. People will eventually lose interest in them, until the new kid on the block shows up. I am not saying there is anything wrong the P365, but all I am saying that it will eventually come to end (trend & hype) as all good things do. Stay safe people.
What's the CCW here (a Sig, Walther, or Glock, etc...... etc......)?

No issues yet, coming up on four years of regular use, still goes bang when I pull the trigger. Still a happy camper.For those that have the Sig P365 any issues with the firing pin primer scrape? It always concerned me when I owned one and finally sold it because I lost confidence in it working long term.
If I recall the history correctly this was an issue in the very first iterations, which was fixed and it was never an issue in the p365xl. But that's how I remember it could be off.For those that have the Sig P365 any issues with the firing pin primer scrape?

Sounds typical of sig. They want customers to beta test the new guns. That's why I try to never buy them when they first come out. Fwiw my p365x has had zero issues but I haven't put thousands of rounds though it either.If I recall the history correctly this was an issue in the very first iterations, which was fixed and it was never an issue in the p365xl.

I had the same problem with the red dot. I got a True Precision barrel without the LCI on a Black Friday sale that fixed the problem.Sounds typical of sig.

Only issue is keeping the red dot clean. If edc just have to get in the habit of brushing it off with a lens pen every so often or similar cleaning method.
I run a manual safety too. The factory safety is barely adequate (too thin of a thumb shelf) and was the only real nagging complaint I had with the 365.My choice for EDC/CCW is a Sig P365XL.
Here's why.
I carry with one in the pipe. I only use a holster occasionally becuase I either carry lower back or in a Napoleon pocket (zippered pocket on left chest). No holster means higher risk of accidental discharge so my weapon has a manual safety.
No optics or lights becuase I want to minimize snag risk. Also easier to conceal.
The Sig is not as smooth as an FN, but the form factor was key for my choice. Very reliable and easy to maintain.
Hope this helps.

Good tip. The safety lever always seemed a bit weak to me.I run a manual safety too. The factory safety is barely adequate (too thin of a thumb shelf) and was the only real nagging complaint I had with the 365.
Well after waiting several months for Armory Craft to actually release their new extended safety (the date was pushed back several times), they finally did and it was worth the wait! My thumb can now actually get a proper purchase whether engaging or disengaging the safety. It's borderline criminal that Sig didn't offer an extended safety from the start. No worries now as Armory Craft has saved the day!
I tried to replace my 26 with a 365. Just couldn't bring myself to do it. The 365 is a great little gun, but just didn't shoot quite as well as the 26, and make Enough difference on my belt to matter. Still packing the 26 and have never regretted keeping it. I've got bigger hands, so there's that. In the immortal words of Paul Harrell … "it just fits my hand better."I switched from a G26 to the P365 about a year ago and am happy I did. The 365 is a perfect carry weapon for me.
