I rented the P365, Hellcat, Shield Plus, and P365 XL yesterday. I put 20 rounds through all guns. I liked the Shield Plus way more than the rest. I shot it much better too. The next best one was the XL, followed very far behind by the hell cat, and then further down the line, the p365. The p365 and hellcat were too small for my hands. I had to readjust after every shot, but the hellcat did feel better overall. The XL felt like it had more recoil than the shield plus to me. I shot the XL and Shield well, but did much better with the Shield plus. I'm sure some of that is due to the trigger. The Shield plus trigger is in a completely different league than the rest of them. After all that, I plan on purchasing the Shield plus.
That's exactly how to do it. Try it out see what works and what doesn't. It's always about personal choice and what works best for you.
Say tj1622 Ruger has a 5.7x28 now just thought I share that with you if you were unaware
@@kennethbaze3935 I know about it. My local store/range doesn't have one or any 5.7 ammo. I like the idea ofa 5.7 hadgun, but the its not for me. Ammo is too high and rare for me to get any decent range time with it.
I have the Glock 43x 9mm with a 10 round capacity and it is my daily carry. It is a good shooter and a bout the same size as a Ruger LC380.
Are you going to get the shield arm mags?
My wife and I tried most of these guns at the range and we both really, REALLY liked the shoot-ability of the 43x, especially with a red dot. After wanting an M&P for quite a while, she now wants the Glock. Total surprise! We may have to go “his-and-hers” with that one.
I bought the p365 tac pac and love the 3 12 round magazines and night sights. It’s been 100 % reliable even with steel case ammo.
I don’t understand all the comments about how “ snappy “ the Hellcat is ,I tried the P 365 and the Hellcat multiple times before Purchasing the Springfield. And to me the recoil impulse difference was negligible. We are talking about 3” barrels that come in under 20 ounces. Felt recoil and diminished accuracy is a given shooting any small handgun. The Springfield makes some of the best quality firearms for the price point, super reliable, better materials used and as a Company they have by far the best customer service of any manufacturer I have personally dealt with. But the biggest advantage of the Hellcat over the Sig is that you have to actually pull the trigger to fire a Hellcat
The Shield Plus is just slaying it, the first Shields were a pleasure to shoot, they’ve darn near doubled the capacity and it got .1 inches thicker lol. The performance center versions are affordable and have great sights stock. And the trigger just smokes the old setup.
I own Glocks, Sigs, and S&W's and my edc is a Taurus G2C. I love it the most minus the long trigger
It does feel good in the hand.
Eats everything and feels good in the hand... a lot like the ex-wife but I am happily still with the Taurus.
Well god forbid if u ever had to use it. At least it was a more less expensive gun you probably wont get back from the police.
The g2c and g3c is the best size compare to these micro compact they shoot better
Keep tinkering triggers on ebay.
I still carry my Glock 19 size Glock 32c in 357Sig. However, I've lately been carrying a Canik TP9 SF Elite, that thing is a shooter! It's a little bigger, but I can conceal it pretty well.
What grain you run through the Canik? I heard they only need to run 124 or bigger grain ammo
Im thinking about the Cankik would you highly recommend it?
The Taurus GX4 is a game changer for cost, size, trigger and reliability.
It has litterally everything without the $5+ hundred price tag.
Except questionable quality control.
@@mattr918 Completely false. They did years ago but not anymore.
Since moving to the states taurus has greatly improved their quality control.
@Random Opinion im aware, I still have heard of some pretty major issues popping up. I hope they have those problems solved.
@Random Opinion that's true. I believe the combination of the junk they used to sell, and now being a "budget" option that they have that reputation. I'm not gonna lie I've skipped out on guns that I heard were good and seemed to be ok just because it says Taurus on it. The gx4 really interests me though. I hope to see good things about it in the next few months.
I got the SHIELD PLUS and SHIELD 45acp.
Absolutely love both firearms and wouldn't trade em for anything else!!!!!
If you are in a self defense situation with the hellcat...you will hit your target... Anything longer than 15-20 feet get a good lawyer (especially in today's climate) Meaning the the hellcat's a good self defense weapon (Down and dirty weapon) ...None of these are for long distances
The 365X (new) is optic ready like its big brother the XL. However the grip module is longer than the 365. It’s the same as the XL.
It's just the 365xl but shorter barrel.
Why didn’t you include the Glock 43X?
Nice comparison! My wife EDCs a 365 w/12 rounders & I have an OG Shield sitting in the safe that I seldom carry or shoot. The Plus has me curious, though.
365 is modular and allows you to get way more out of the gun than the two back straps
@@seth3000gt You just had to reply because Rican's post offended you lol. My opinion is you are wrong. 365 is the original and best 10+ round microcompact. Most accurate too.
@@seth3000gt Nice. I think I might've heard about the Kel-TEC but didn't realize the dimensions of how small it is. With that pistol coming out in the 90s, you would think that Glock would've made something similar, but no, they made the Glock 26. Then they realized it was too fat so they made the Glock 43 not too long ago. Except the 43 only holds six rounds like most of the relatively newer micro-compacts (e.g. Shield, XDS, LC9, etc). I understand that you might have had horrible customer service experience. That is the risk we take in purchasing any service. Some of my favorite restaurants have been given one out of five stars by a few people, but that didn't stop me from going back.
@@seth3000gt sorry to hear that show me on this doll where sig hurt you….. if you’d take a Taurus over a sig you’re not very smart I’ve dealt a lot with sig’s customer service and do not have the same experience as you either way saying you’ll take a Taurus over a sig is absurd ones proven and reliable and the other isn’t just yet I own both I own all the micro 9’s and the only one I’d consider on par or arguably better than the 365 would be the shield plus
Good and fair review I’m thinking. I own the P365XL and the P365SAS and I have the 10, 12, and 15 round magazines. I’m a new shooter and purchased Sig Sauer first and I like Sig products - I also own the P238 .380, and the P938 Legion as well as the P320 Compact.
Having said that I also own the M&P 2.0 .40 caliber and I like it as well and the Springfield XDE .45ACP so as I’ve learned more I’ve developed an appreciation for other guns although I still often favor one or another.
Nevertheless, in my view after virtually all guns today are decent and have good features including revolvers I also own a Kimber K6S 2” 357/38 special revolver.
Although I don’t own and haven’t shot all the guns you reviewed I think you covered the features well and balanced …the rest is a matter of personal preference.
I do think if I were purchasing my first pistol today I would pick up he Shield +. I have handled all the guns you record and I agree. Also I shot a Hellcat at the range several times, about 50 rounds and I agree it’s not for me. Right now my EDC is the P365SAS as the P365XL is my wife’s pistol.
I’m trying to transition to the Springfield XDE because I like 45ACP but it’s 23+ oz vs 17 with the P365SAS. I’m finding that’s a lot more weight.
Great review you seldom see anyone that looks at everything and doesn’t especially bash something over another. At the end of the day I think we are all fan boys to our own flavor of the day. 😊
@@seth3000gt what facts? 🤣😂 their have been multiple videos showing the sights are off and issues with the locking of the breach and it’s a brand new gun the 365 HAD issues out of the gate but was quickly fixed and have not had any problems since so idk what facts you’re speaking of
i carry usually my P365, P365 XL, p365X or my Glock 43x w/ S15 mags i really want to get my hands on the shield plus but ill probably wait until they have a optic ready 3.1in version! great video bro keep them coming!
In 99% of self defense scenarios, you will never need 10+1 rounds. It won't be a prolonged firefight. I still prefer single stacks like a LC9s Pro. Thinner, more concealable under a T-Shirt.
It still never hurts to have extra rounds, the more the better.
@@adamwelles5502 Not if you have to trade those extra rounds for decreased concealability...IMO. If I can't defend myself with 7+1 rounds, I probably shouldn't be carrying. You can also carry an extra mag pretty easily.
Great comparison, job well done. The smaller = more recoil.
I love the sig P365 and the GX4
Talking about hands you’re absolutely right, I have a small hands this is why I prefer the 365 over the other pistols, I haven’t shot the s&w yet but I’ve heard a lot of good things about it from friends, but I liked the felt recoil of the 365, am planing to buy the 365 xl soon
I held the 365 XL in my hand last week. It felt great and I love that front sight. Just can’t swing it financially at this time. Still have my Sig 938. I have like six extra seven round mags for it, still comfortable in the hand with those. Thanks for the informative video.
I carry a P938 with a trigger guard light/laser on it with a 7 rd mag, it’s got the hogue rubber grips on it. I also got a half dozen 7 round mags for it, I will probably never buy one of those polymer micro 10/11 rd 9mms I’m pretty sure I won’t shoot them well, I’ve handled the P365, Hellcat in the past. I like the P938 alloy frame, I like the Saftey cause I carry it AIWB pointed at my junk, I shoot it great, great grip, If you need more than 8 rds in a civilian application you’re probably fuct to begin with! Sometimes I carry a LCP2 or G42 in my front pocket as a back up (cause I’m not a reloading tactical geek) in the winter it’s my LCR in 327 federal magnum as backup or sometimes even primary carry winter coat pocket carry(no holster 😁). Loved the P938 for like 7 years now! 👍🏻 I’ve got this weird thing about micro sized 9mm guns (well almost any caliber really) they shouldn’t be double stack mags, only single stack, they don’t feel like they’ll be reliable. I’m ok with a full-size double stack 9mm but not micro.
@@michigunsanta8680 I’ve got a P938 Legion and finding it a great little gun and highly concealable although heavy because it’s all medal. I’m also finding it a great shooter as I’ve spent time at the range and I sometimes use a P238 380 as pocket carry backup. I have a Tulster IWB clip at 5 o’clock. I’m finding this works best of all my guns in summer with lighter clothes. I’m liking it better than my P365SAS, which is only slightly larger, for summer carry.
Anyway as a new shooter your comments sorta gave me a better feeling about the direction I’m starting to gravitate.
If you have the budget, best is G43x. But as I said you need $$$ to take it to another level... shield arms mags (15+1), shield arms mag release, new trigger, new sights. Can’t beat that but you’ll need over 1k. Best out of the box, I would say it’s the Shield plus. Perfect just as it is. P365x great too. Those are my top 3 for CCW.
I got my 43x with glock night sights for $411 plus tax.
When I was in the market, I used to shoot my friend's P365 next to my Shield, a lot. Actually preferred the Hellcat over the p365 and that's what I went with.
The max 9 is fiber optic with tritium
How about the G43X? It’s a great carry pistol…
Several major manufacturers came out with a legit micro 9 with 11+ rounds except Glock. S&W, Ruger, Sig, Springfield....Glock is the only one kinda out of place with their 43x/48
Shop full of P365 models, Shield Plus models, Ruger Max-9 models and Hellcat models and the most popular gun sold in the shop are the Glock 43's. Apparently not everyone is concerned about capacity as much as they are reliability. The Glocks are the only ones customers never bring back with problems.
really what shop what problems have all these guns been tested next to each other 1000s of all types rounds etc etc
Feel they made up for several of the P365's short comings with the P365X. A 365 slide on a 365XL frame, with the plate to install optics and a 12 rnd mag.
CA be like: original shield is what you're stuck with.
It cracks me up that everyone has to have an optic on a subcompact pistol.
I need one, lest I have to ask for a moment to change to reading glasses before shooting. As that seems impractical to me, a reflex optic is a must-have item on a defensive handgun, for me.
I have an optic on mine. I'm not only old, I'm a new shooter, so it helps more than I can say.
@@MartinVeneroso -- Inside 20 feet, do we r e a l l y need sights at all?
I'm in my camper right now about 20' from the bedroom door. I'd bet I can hit the doorknob 3 out of 4 times with no sights at all.
Pretty much defeats the purpose ! To make a tiny gun, with a sail on it ! I have a red,green,blue dot all in one,adjustable, on a ragging bull 44 mag. Needless to say it,s not a ccw ! Very accurate and fun to shoot ! TAURUS...
@@paulmichaud1246 -- If a threat it's far enough away that I need a red dot sight to hit it... I probably don't need to shoot at it.
For me it's P365 XL in the summer and Glock 19 in the winter.
The 365XL with X-ray 3 dot sights , is a great option .
Back in the day the g26 was the smallest 10 round gun available until the following year when keltec dropped the p11. The Sig was the first striker fired micro 9, but Keltec had the size in 95.
Sounds to me as if you like the Shield Plus a lot. You kept mentioning it and you said it was an EDC. I agree with you on that. I've had the 365XL on my belt a lot lately but just started with the Plus. Think I like it more. Deciding one or the other isn't necessary. Like em both.
don’t think there’s a better review in this category thanks
Taurus GX 4 and the shield I carry are my EDC guns
Just an FYI the ruger's sights are a tritium/fiber optic nite sight that does really well.
That's what I thought.
Never thought I’d be a gun person. Was never against them, just couldn’t picture carrying. Then 2020 hit. I live in Oklahoma so it’s going to be extremely easy to carry.
I practiced a ton with a hellcat for about a year and after trying a 365xl I parked the hellcat. The 365 with the red dot is just far easier for me to shoot. I got better with it far quicker than the hellcat. The recoil is not as sharp. But I did practice quite a bit with it so I learned my way around that almost unwieldy snap. Takes a bit of time for sure...
I'll be buying a compact 9mm for CC some time soon. Magazine capacity is high on my list of necessities as well as other things so after some research I've narrowed it down to these choices:
* Beretta APX A1
* H&K P30SK
* H&K VP9SK
* Kimber R7 Mako
* Ruger Max 9
* SIG P320 X-Compact
* SIG P365
* Smith & Wesson M&P Shield
* Smith & Wesson S&K 2.0
* Springfield Hellcat
* Taurus G3c
* Walther PPQ SC
Some others that I might consider are:
* Beretta APX Centurion
* CZ P07
* Shadow Systems MR920
You may have noticed that a Glock was not in my lists. Glock makes a reliable firearm but the thing that I dislike about them is that there's no external safety and I would not feel comfortable carrying one. It's just something that I feel strongly about so please no hate. 0:-)
Also, I plan to install a red dot optics and I will accept any reliable yet inexpensive suggestions that anyone would be willing to toss my way. Thanks in advance and have a most excellent day! :-D
Great comparison vid! Definitely highlighted all the the critical points to be considered for micro carry pews. Thanks and well done 👍🏼
My current EDC is a Taurus G2C and I love it but I am thinking about getting a Taurus GX4 TORO. Great video as usual.
43X w/ SA15 and Shield Plus PC for me.
Mine came with three 12-round magazines and it wasn't the XL
As did mine that's a popular package.
I bought a ten round mag later, for the concealment then I had to also buy a finger extension. I carry it that way, ten with finger extension. The twelve round mags sit in the drawer.
I’m looking for a new carry gun. I have been thinking the Sig 365xl or Glock 43x .
Owned a 43x traded for p365xl, both are great options. If you have xl hands like i do. I found p365xl easier to get a good high grip on the pistol.
What! no HK VP9SK in that bunch?
Good observation
Top of the line. One of my favorite handguns.
In reality the 2nd U.S. Constitution amendment right says nothing about only law abiding citizens have the right to carry it is says the right reserved for the people .
Wow, that is actually, an excellent point
Back up until the early 1900s criminals were often given their weapons back after serving their sentences in jail.
That is a poor point. Using that logic felons should be able to carry firearms while in prison. When you become a felon you lose your right to use a firearm to harm others.
A judge can deprive a citizen of certain constitutional rights such as the right to travel and the right to keep and bear arms if he breaks the law, is convicted and is afforded due process.
@@voiceofreason9238 your right about what a judge will do but a constitutional right cannot be violated by any legislative act if it is that is a color of law which is unlawful but proceeding as if it is lawful.
@@voiceofreason9238 for the right price you can have a prison guard smuggle in anything known to man
"For both me and my wife this gun sucks..." [commercial]
HAHAHAHA!!!
Just because it is skinnier doesn't mean it is better. Some are like gripping a pencil. Fail on accuracy! I need something to grip to manage the recoil better.
Would love to edc that P365 XL.
I thought the Ruger Max 9 used Night Sights? Hmmm
Edit: Says that it has a tritium insert on their website?
Yeah the Max-9 has those sights. At least the models they sold at Scheels when I went.
@What's Up? Ya, he has SO many guns he probably just overlooked it, but that's what makes it such a good option IMO, cause it comes from the factory with night sights and an optic cut unlike a lot of the other pistols.
@What's Up? Well, my point is that it may have gotten passed him, we are only human afterall.
@What's Up? Lol, very well could be that too...
It does come with night sights. You are correct.
Nice review! Man…if you’re looking for something like this you did a great job going over each one!
This is the video I've been waiting for 🙌
In California, we can only get shield version 1 with $700. It proofs this 10 yrs old design is still a 'good' piece of fire weapon. None of those other 5 guns have a long good track record like the shield. With that said, most likely the Shield plus is the best all around among the 6.
Nice review buddy. You already know my edc. But I want try shooting that new tarsus I like it’s looks more than the g2c I have. But lately I been just carry my Glock 45 9mm around good holster and it’s gone 5 11 175 pounds summer close so holsters are a big key to non printing
43x an 48 have 10 rounds plus shield arms mag holds 15
Just going to leave the 43X out like that? Shame on you
I own the p365 great gun. Also own a Taurus g2c also a great gun slightly larger but not by much. Two guns missing from this video is the g2c and g3c. One other thing not mentioned in this video. The p65 not xl version. They make 12 round mags for it with a factory sleeve. You can get a full grip on the gun with them. I carry my sig p365 with the 12 round mags.
I love my Taurus G2C. It’s flawless.
Great like your honesty descriptive review
I'm sorry Walther PPS M2 is still up there in concealed carry the weight maintain the recoil
Absolutely. For me it's at the top of my EDC rotation list.
Same. Working towards p365 xl possibly with aluminum frame. Already have light, holster, red dot...just waited on buying gun after the last crazy year lol. PPS M2 every day till then. Cz pcr if I'm feeling froggy
Great video. If I was looking for a carry gun I'd be very confused by all the choice's. For what it's worth I have a Hellcat and S&W EZ 9 Performance Center, very happy with both.
Great video. You should do a size comparison to the glock 19. The glock 19 was probably go to carry gun at one time. Plus alot of shooters old and new know the glock 19.
When evaluating guns people should take into consideration grip circumference and trigger reach. The distance from grip rear centerline to trigger face centerline. Also slide retraction weight. The force necessary to cycle the slide. This is helpful for female, older and disabled shooters. A magazine named Gun Tests grades guns and those measurements are included in their evaluations. Good video man. I always value your opinion.
CZ P10S? I love mine.
Big guy with big hands, right now I carry a Glock 45, but want to have a smaller option for comfort/ warm weather carry. Thanks for giving specs and pointing out which ones do/don't have adjustable back straps. Will be hard giving up the 17+1 though.
For CC we not going to say G19 holding 15 rounds +1 that can use the G17 mag?????
Nah cause we are discussing micro compacts not police officer size pistols (which were the compacts in the 90s )
@@tystamps7884 i see so like 10 or less mags.
@@rikkigant1771 More like 10+ these days
The P365’s all have a 15 round magazine these days as well. I generally carry with a 10 or 12 round magazine with 15 round backup magazines in winter but the 15 rounders print in most configurations. So if it’s capacity you’re concerned about P365, “subcompact” any of the models is your gun.
@Rikki Gant
Hey sorry I’m six internet years late to respond here I’ve been arguing with anti gunners....so .........you know how that is
I wasn’t trying to come across like an ass hole earlier I was simply stating g19 is more like a “current day duty pistol”. I own a g19 and carry a G48x with shield mags 15+1 and to me...15rnds of 9mm should be the standard load out with a magnet clip holding a 17 or 30 rounder ya know whatever your into
After Biden’s crazy ass talking about the second amendment like it’s just for hunting....I may just carry a rattler and a drum everywhere
Scary out here yall
I have shot most of the M and own the P365x and rh shield plus performance center 3" love them both... Waiting to get my shield plus back from getting a optics cut and slide work 😁 then it will be carried and see which one I like best.
Thanks for the gun video Hegshot87 you did a great job this video helped me out alot 😎👍🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
I'm loving my Max 9, with a Crimson Trace 1550 reflex sight. The trigger seems mushy when compared to a 1911, but I find that when I think of it like the double-action trigger pull of a quality revolver - smooth and steady - it's actually great and that's reflected in the tight, accurate groups I print on the target. It rattles like a maraca, but it's reliable and deadly.
I forgot to mention, I think the Ruger is the only one of these new wonder-micro-nines that not only comes optics ready in the base model, but comes with supressor-height sights by default. Along with the depth of the optics cut, the Crimson Trace 1550 co-witnessed with the open sights immediately.
Crimson Trace has excellent customer service, I got the 1550 on my xds and it cracked and they sent me a brand new one the same week.
That 10+1 P365 is now 12+1 with a MagGuts extender upgrade. What's amazing is that the length of the mag only increases by a barely noticeable 1/8" (since it uses a shorter flat metal spring to replace the longer OEM coiled spring). The same type of upgrade will make the 12+1 P365 (with OEM extended mag, perfect for larger hands not having their pinkies hanging out there) into an amazing 14+1, again with a barely noticeable MagGuts extender. With these extenders, the P365 outguns all other 9mm micro compacts. And yes, like the Hellcat, there's a 15+1 OEM mag for the P365 (I have 1), but for me it's too damn long, especially in comparison to the 12 round mag upgraded to a 14. I pocket carry, and the 15+1 configuration is a non-starter. The 14+1, on the other hand, is perfect.
Interestingly I’ve never heard of this MagGuts extender things. Sounds interesting I’ll have to check it out.
@@jameslogan6127 You won't regret it.
@@jameslogan6127 It's a flat spring instead of a coil spring, it's not a mag extension even though you are replacing your base plate.
Where’s the canik elite sc???
Exactly,best trigger,can hold 20 round mags,
Hell yeah
The Canik Elite SC is a great gun excellent trigger and reset but it's substantially bigger than all of these micro compacts it's about the size of a Walther PPQ SC or a Ruger SR9c these guns have a 3.5 or close inch barrel these micro compacts are 3 inch or close to it they are smaller and thinner than your Canik Elite SC
P365 weekdays and my favorite weekender is my VP9 SK. Another great comparison video Brother and I love how you hate the Hellcat! 🤣🤣

Nice guns. As a first time gun owner. I am getting a Helcat gun

not big on my 365 but it is nice for sunmer..mines snappy..maybe ill get upgrades..trigger is the worst
Waiting on my p365x. Thanks for the video 👍
I agree with you about the 365XL. That's a very good gun. I'm trying to like my Shield Plus more than the Sig but it's a dead heat I think. They're both great guns.
I like Taurus GX4 a lot. No problems with it and it gets the job done! 🔥🔥🔥
Great thing about living in Oklahoma is everybody is legal to carry, without asking permission.
How about a comparison of concealed carry 45s? Glock 36, Springfield XDS, Ruger American, M&P Shield, etc.....
How about the Canik Elite SC? Great gun.
I have a Plus and an XL. I can't decide which I like most. But that's not a terrible problem to have is it?
very good video!!!🔥🔥🔥
I own both the Hellcat and GX4. They both offer a lot of extras you don't find in some of the other brands of the same size and they shoot pretty much the same out to 10 yards. Not at all disappointed in the reliability of either and the quality is there. The only thing i wish Taurus had done is put better sights on the GX4. They did the same thing with the G3,s but putting nite sights on them improved the sight picture and accuracy. The Hellcat cost $599.00 and the GX4 $399.00. So you can see that there is a big difference in cost but i think that the GX4 will go up in price maybe not to much where the Hellcat is pretty much topped out at $599.00. I love both of them and trust both to use at EDC guns along with my Sig P938. We won't talk about price there but you really do get your moneys worth with the Sig but you give up capacity with it unless you want to carry an extra mag. These 3 guns are all number one picks for carry in my opinion. 10 years of on duty carry and 40 years of concealed carry, so I've tried it all.
I must be the only guy that has a lot of trouble with printing with guns this size. Original shield and even with the flat magazine I have trouble. Maybe it’s the holster. Alien gear cloak tuck. I can’t even get a good grip to get a good draw every time. The draw is bad on smaller guns which makes me want a larger gun but the printing is worse. So I’m kinda stuck lol. I picked up a p365xl for the first time a few weeks ago and I loved it. That and the FN 509c was actually way more impressive than I thought it would be since I never gave the FN a second thought before. But yeah...wanting a new carry gun this is probably the best video comparison out there right now.
Bravo Concealment torsion holster, Ciquera emissary belt, plaid flannel shirt, no such thing as printing and if you do a little bit, who cares?
Desantis slim tuk for shield is awesome.
If concealment is your primary concern, don't discount those "codpiece" holsters like the SmartCarry and Thunderwear (or the DTOM models on Amazon). Sits on top of your junk just below the belt line and basically disappears. Has it's own belt so it doesn't drag down your pants like a standard holster. Drawing takes some practice but as long as your pants aren't too tight and you can suck in your gut, it's certainly doable...
@@lexwaldez been using a blue alpha gear edc belt now for a while along with an alien gear holster. Might have to upgrade the holster at some point. I’m pretty happy with the belt. Might just need to make some wardrobe changes.
@@QuetherV I’ll check it out. I think the holster just adds a lot of unnecessary bulk to it. I’m using an alien gear holster it’s one of those “hybrid” style holsters that has a kydex shell and a neoprene backing and double clips front and rear it’s supposed to spread the weight out more. It’s comfortable but prints like mad.
She only single stack but she worth giving a look . Bersa bp9cc
Also, I am an American, I buy American guns, meaning Shield.
The Ruger front sight is a combination of a tritium sight with the fiber optic. Night sights buddy.
Shield has a completely different grip than the others. Like grasping a deck of cards and can’t stand it. Hellcat/365 remarkably similar w the Hellcat having noticeably more recoil into the hand. Love the sites on it though. G2C I shoot best out of these and love that pistol. No worries w scratched etc…365 is best of group IMO to this day. Small, light, shoots great, reliable.
I fixed would like to see a review of the new P365 SAS with the fixed sight. I've read where it's hit or miss with these fixed sights.
Can you do a honest review of the FN 503 ? It's my carry gun
Great review! I'm looking for a dedicated pocket pistol edc to wear with jeans. Would any of these work? If so which one, or to big. Any suggestions? Thanks!
I pocket carry my hellcat with the flush fit magazine in a sticky pocket holster
I would love to have a Sig p365 but California won't let me
Thank you for this awesome video. Watch all your stuff.
Check out the new FOBUS holster system for those guns. Just ordered one. Can be IWB, OWB, left or right side all with one product.
P365 all day and everyday with 12 round magazine, no failures,
Held and pointed all of the guns shown above(minus the Taurus GX4 and Ruger Max as they weren’t released yet). The Sig XL by far felt the most comfortable in my hand. I prefer a full 4 finger grip on my carry piece for optimum control. The XL fixes all the issues I have with the regular 365 and the guns with similar sized grips. Comfortability in hand is high on my list when it comes to edc. If I ever have to draw to save my life or someone else’s, I want optimum control and comfortability in my hand for optimum and accurate shot placement. I don’t have chunky hands being tall and on the thin side but not small either having long fingers. Haven’t shot the Hellcat but heard it was snappy. I like the lower bore axis of the XL. Just felt and pointed like I could shoot it better then any of the rest and sure enough I was right. Props on the Shield Plus though. It definitely has the best trigger out of the bunch that I’ve pulled in this video but the XL was not far enough behind it to sacrifice how comfortable the XL felt and how natural it points.
I needed this thank you so much honestly
I have the Hellcat, the P365 and the Smith and Wesson Plus.
They are all great quality, totally reliable with defense or range ammo.
Hellcat is to 'flippy' for me. Should be my everyday carrier because it's so easy to hide and carries so many rounds... But the recoil makes me put the second third etc. rounds five inches from where I'm aiming especially if I'm in a hurry.
I carry the P365 because it conceals well with the ten round mag and it stays pretty much on target even when firing rapidly.
However, when I can, clothing permitting, I carry the Shield Plus with the short magazine.
It is the performance center with four inch barrel so... not easy to hide some days, but darn, it hits where I'm aiming. Trigger and sights are just awesome. Three out of four will go into the same hole at seven yards... wow.
43x with shield arms flush fit 15rd mags rules!!!
P365 XL FTW!
