Slippery smooth and nothing pokes me (I appendix carry) which is rare. Slightly larger than a LCP, but holds 10+1 of 9mm instead of 6+1 of 380. IWB I can barely tell the difference in size.

I put 100 or so though it last weekend. Not a single bobble and actually nice to shoot - much better than a micro 380 etc. I can get all 4 fingers on it but that is it which is perfect.

Need a tool to strip it due to the antisnag - but you could use any screwdriver, quarter, or brass head in a pinch. I am 100% happy with it.

Was about to post the same. My carry pistol is a P365. Picked up some 12 round mags and the Hogue grip and it feels secure in my hand while still being as compact as my last carry pistol that was a single stack!

Very nice. I almost bought one a few times when they first dropped, but I figured the price would drop when I did. Once I saw the sights on the SAS version though - I was done. Perfect combo for a old blind guy. LOL

With all this time on my hands I've been watching finding Bigfoot. With your current arsenal what would you have on hand if you were in the woods? I've got a 44 magnum, several 12 gauges and a 30-06

Thanks for help , so my choice is fn 509c 9mm (tactical color) size not too big I think will be perfect for home protection and c carry

Biggest handgun round I have is 357SIG and biggest rifle round is .458 Socom. No shotguns.

It makes me ill that you have to get pistol purchasing permits. But I guess you work with what you have,

Me too. It's frustrating how our Right to defend ourselves is a second-class civil right in this country.

The Sigs do look nice though. Funny story about my first semi-auto handgun I bought when I lived in California. Probably 30 years ago. I bought it and loaded ithe magazine and placed it next to the bed as home defense. Didn't have time to visit a range and test it. Planned to rack the slide to chamber a round if I needed to use it. Fast forward a few years and I move to AZ and actually take up an interest in shooting and take it to a range.

Rack the slide (as I was planning if I needed to use it in self defense), point and pull the trigger. No bang. What? Try it again. And again. Gun no go bang.

Turns out all the springs were so tight it couldn't strip a round out of the magazine. I had to load it down to 2 rounds and shoot them and work my way up before it would actually work. A good lesson in the concept that if you plan to trust your life to a firearm it's a darn good idea to practice with it and the ammo you plan to use.

What is that extending out the barrel? Is that a threaded barrel for suppressors?

Is that standard?

Not standard. It's a True Precision threaded barrel. I like to shoot suppressed whenever possible. Unfortunately, my suppressor is more for rifles than pistols and looks comically large on this small pistol, so I guess I'm just forced to buy a new pistol suppressor!

Yikes. That is a bit much for a pistol.

I am curious how do you like those sights on that SAS. Looks like a very short sight radius.

I have a few suppressed pistols. Where are my pictures:

That is the standard P365 sights - the SAS has the flush mount sight built into the slide. It is short, but it has an alignment ring to let you know when you have it centered up. The outer ring does not glow till it is centered. It is also a night site.

Works pretty slick.

I like. Wish there was a store with one in stock around here. Maybe I need to look around.

I love it. I had to really look back in Feb when I bought it. Worst thing was, I showed one to my boss at SHOT show and he wanted one too - so I had to find 2! LOL I found then in CA though and snapped them up. I think they are still struggling to keep up and with the current gun buying frenzy it might be even worse.

So pre-COVID, I would hit up my local range and just borrow some ear-pro and eye-pro, but post-COVID I thought it would be best to get my own stuff.

Suggestions on the best ear and eye pro?

I would check to see what their cleaning procedures are but owning your own is safest.

Thoughts on a good first hand gun? In the process of obtaining my concealed carry permit here in FL, so will be a CCP.

I want something small yet powerful.

Thanks!
