I've shot the p365, and thought it shot just fine. I've been looking to get the p365 for a while, and was initially thinking to carry with the 12 round magazine because i can get a full grip. Then i realized the p365xl existed and has the full grip. Other than a little larger, seems like a better overall gun.
My only hesitation is, i'm newer to concealed carry and conceal-ability (size/weight) was my biggest concern when I first started. My first carry pistol was an LCP II, because you just forget about it. I was leaning toward the p365 for the same reason. But the XL model just seems like it's nicer all around. My biggest concern is regrets on size. I'm 5'10" with normal hand size and would be carrying on the 4 o'clock position. Other than being about 1/2" longer and 3oz heavier, doesn't seem like any drawbacks with the XL except the larger magazine which might be an issue for printing. I figured if it became a real problem, can get the original grip and put it on the XL to shrink it back down to a 10 round.
Thoughts? I'm sure i'm overthinking it, just trying not to buy both guns (which is always the problem).
