I just saw on Sigforum a compassion between the Sig P365, Glock 43, and Kahr PM9. Great photos from all angles and interestingly enough the P365 and the PM9 look to be VERY similar sized in every photo. Dang, this thing is really calling me.

P365SAS on my hip as we speak. Handles really nice, double stack is not much thicker than the Kahr CW40 it displaced, trigger is easy to get used to. Still carry the Kahr once in a while, but the P365 gets the nod. 10+1 with a 12 round magazine in reserve seems a little better than the CW40 (6+1 with a 7 round reload). It took me a while to warm up to a 9mm though.

My daughter got my p365..I bought a Springfield Hellcat Pro which holds 16 rounds and about the same size. You can't go wrong with the 365.

Opinions will vary but my 365 relegated my Kahr 9mm pistols (CM9 and P9) to the safe and then to the sell pile.

For me, the 365 carries as easy as the CM9 and I’m a much better shot with it.

First time out with my 365 I didn't care for it much. Several months later had it out again and I got along fine with it. Plenty accurate, pleasant to shoot, fits hand well. Not sure why the bad feeling first time other than it was just a bad day at the range. For some reason I can't finger out I don't prefer carrying it over my 1911's. Doesn't seem as stable on the hip or maybe the bullets are just too small.
Like my PM45, I often times carry it in my ankle holster but I don't go out much these days so don't often use the ankle rig. The belt rig is always there anytime I'm wearing a belt.
Now I gotta check out a Hellcat Pro....have to keep up with Jeepster ya know.

Problem with the Hellcat Colonel is finding 10rd mags :(

I have cousins in Missouri, friends in Idaho. The problem is Inslee and Ferguson.

I have owned two since they first came out and since, also have one in 380 with a dot Larger than a PM9 but I find it much easier to shoot. Mine has become my primary carry for years. It's a friggin Lego gun and there are options that allow you to make it any size you want just by pushing one pin and moving the Firing Control Unit into a different grip frame. The design and options for this gun is pure genius. The only model I would be wary of is the smooth slide SAS version which is hard for all but point shooters to master. Great in concept, poor in shootability.

Shooting side by side, I find the Hellcat to have more felt recoil than the P365 but I do like the U shaped sights of the hellcat better. As for round count, Sig offers mags that interchange somewhere up to 17 rounds. I only carry the flat ten rounders as they conceal better and I believe if I need more than eleven rounds, I should have brought a friend.

Just handled one at the gun shop.
Super narrow grip for the capacity.
Feels much like my Ruger LC9s Pro.
But I really love my Ruger and I shoot it well so...

I like it so much I've got two!
The black one has TFX Pro Hybrid Tritium Fiber Optic Sights :cool:

The version I have is the SAS. I actually like it, like the sight. It does take a lot of draw presentations to get used to it, but I can line it up as fast as traditional irons now. However, one of the first things I did was put a Wilson Combat grip frame on it (or is it put the trigger module in a WC grip frame?) I really love how that feels. Right combination of palm swell, texture and trigger undercut, plus the hint of the beavertail helps get a consistent grasp.

The one drawback of the SAS to me is the disassembly, but then you don't get something for nothing. It's not hard just a different step rather than turning the takedown lever it's turning a slotted screw.

I agree, the SAS is perfect for those who are experienced shooters and the snag free features are a bonus for pocket carriers. I also have the Wilson grip module and a flat trigger on my daily carry 365.

I carried a PM9 for many years. For me it was the perfect compromise (because any choice in life is ALWAYS a compromise) between weight, accuracy, capacity and concealability. My only two wishes for it were a higher capacity and a shorter reset on the trigger while maintaining the same dimensions. It was always in an ankle holster at work and a pocket or AIWB on my time.

A few years back a friend brought his then brand new 365 for his annual retiree qualification. We laid it next to my PM9 and i was intrigued...I shot it and HAD to have one since it covered my wants. My friend's 365 replaced his ten year old PM9 as well.

I bought my own 365 and carried it on and off duty for almost 3 years until I sold it to another friend and replaced it with a manual safety 365XL and a Holosun RDS. I still like it, but the added ammo puts the weight and grip heaviness a little more what I want for deep concealment. My on duty BUG is a PM9 again, and the same PM9
is my hiking/ cycling gun, with the laser equipped P380 for the around the house gun.

I'd consider giving the 365XL to my much better half if Kahr releases an optics ready, higher capacity P series.
My only complaint with the 365 series is the trigger is mushy like the 320.
