The SIG P365 vs P365XL

The SIG P365 vs P365XL

When review time came around on the XL model, I gave it a hard pass. I was very happy with my normal-sized P365 and I wanted nothing to do with an abomination. But could this new, slightly larger model hold up in a CCW role? Despite being bitten in the past, I had to find out. So I got one, got some gun leather, and started carrying it.

Glock 43X: Now with 15 Round Flush Fit Capacity

43X is a serious contender for best CCW gun of all time. Even at 10 rounds, from the factory, the 43X is pretty damn good. But boosted with Shield Arms mags? This is a package that is very hard to beat.

All said and done it is my opinion that one would be hard-pressed to buy a better full house competition 40 cal blaster.

10mm Gets Sophisticated… New SIG Legion P220 SAO

10mm Gets Sophisticated… New SIG Legion P220 SAO

The Legion line has become a well-known segment of the SIG Sauer brand. Overall, I think the Legions do an excellent job of providing the “bells and whistles” version of each model offered, while simultaneously building its own recognizable value for the brand enthusiast.

Hidden Gem: SAR K2 45

For a price as cheap as $337 on the open market, I have to call this one of the best values I’ve seen. I started skeptically, but the K2 has certainly won me over. This is a bargain, that I can highly recommend.
