The P365 has a design flaw where there is a pinch point on your palm when changing magazines.

The first time my partner used it, she gave herself a blood blister on the palm of her hand.

Additionally, the trigger is super mushy, with like 4 different sticky break points, where only the last one is actually for firing. I hated everything about it; we bought it only because it fit her hand.

It was my first and last Sig. I have no idea why people buy pistols that aren’t Glocks.

I've had good luck with the P365s I've fired, though with Sig's apparent lack of QA, perhaps they're not consistent across production batches.

Re: your partner's hand and the blood blister, did you ever find something for that?

A G45 was my top pick if price were no object, but this is the worst job market in 20 years for SWEs. I’ve been out of work more often than not for the last 2 years (never taking more than a month to find something new for the previous 10 years).

Until that MN shooting spree, I always felt the risks of gun ownership were greater than the risk of home invasions. I am fortunate to live in an area where random violence is quite rare. But paramilitary-style murders and forced disappearances are a categorically different kind of threat. The statistical rarity doesn’t matter. What matters is taking one of the bastards with you to hell when they come for you. If you can’t save yourself, save the next person on their hitlist, and in doing so, save the world. Die on your feet instead of your knees. There are fates worse than death. Forced disappearance is certainly one of them.

Anyway, my LGS had a lightly-used P365XL with a bunch of accessories for half the price of any Glock. It was a no-brainer to me. Guns aren’t a “buy once cry once” kinda purchase. Seems hardly anyone has just one for very long.

TLDR: people buy other handguns because it’s a tool to them, not a hobby. At least, not yet.

Jam halfway through a magazine? I'll stick with my Ruger from the 80s, thanks.

What about P226? I heard only raving reviews on that one.

Eh, that glock grip never felt right to me. The moment I picked up a PPQ it felt like someone had designed a grip specifically for my hand.
