    I don’t know if I am talking myself into or outof getting a 356 for carry. I recently fired one, held one, and compared it side by side with my g43.  I use a pierce +1, so round count difference between the two pistols is 3.  (The 12 round mag is too long, the 10 mounted is the same as the pierce). For size, some places the g43 is a smidge smaller, other places the p365 wins. So in a supertuk iwb, both will conceal the same. I can sweat all day on the glock without making it uglier. I still come back to the 3 more rounds, but with the thinner Glock mags easy to put a second 7 rounder in the pocket. Any other pluses for the p365 that I am missing?  I was all set to spend my money, but am hesitating on pulling the trigger after playing with it.

    The 365 is not a range gun, it’s an everyday conceal carry that you don’t mind it getting wrecked, sweated, and confiscated for a bit after use. So unless you can carry it often, go for the 320 first.

    Back in 2015 I still have some 9 reman that is fine, and last year new 380 and 357mag all fine from the Black Friday sales. Didn’t use it all yet but no problems after a few boxes of each. I do believe the reports of people having issues, which is why I only bought in small amounts during great sales for plinking

    For my G43 I use a Desantis Nemesis pocket holster. I felt it’s borderline big for pocket carry, mostly due to weight when loaded it will sway in the cargo shorts pocket, which is why my goto carry is the Ruger lcp2 using its included pocket holster. I picked up a crossbreed supertuk for the g43 which is very nice.

    I always wanted an MP5 ever since I rented one several years ago. Since moving to a free state, looked into it but still holding out due to cost, as well as going through a full case of ammo within minutes of each range trip!

    I did recently go with a H&K-G36 conversion stock for my ruger 10/22, firing with the stock folded is fun, and cheap with 22lr.  A cheaper more practical alternative

    You have to look in the actual Florida developments, and not the transplant geared ones. I went for a brand new ranch in an established area, on 1/3 acre, 2300sqft, backs up to wooded wetlands preserve, minutes to drive on the beach.  I wanted new construction, with only palm trees as I never want to rake another leaf.  Cost well under 300k

    I was just in this same position, saving and justifying a new m9a3, local range just received a very lightly used 92a1, I checked it over and negotiated down to $400.  I put on the rubber grips, changed out the cheesy plastic guide rod, both of which I had to do to the a3 anyway. Saved about $500, really like it and happy. For your $200 it is close to call.

    I have a build I was going to put a Bushnel 3200 4-12x w/adjustable objective that I already have lying around (as well as the magpul offset backup irons).  Or would I be better off with one of these?

    The weather is crazy everywhere.  I ran into a Monsoon yesterday by I95 and International Golf Parkway in St Johns FL, it was coming down so heavy I waited almost a half hour to head home.  When I got home which is only 30 minutes north west of there it was dry and my wife said it never even looked like rain.

    Florida is always like this, especially the closer you get to the ocean. I have had rain in my front yard while nice and sunny on my pool side

    Highly recommend replacing the hammer spring with a D version. Improves the trigger pull by making it lighter and smoother.

    Just picked up a gently used 92A1.  I have the D spring and rubber stock grips coming soon. What do you do with the flexi composite captured guide rod?  Beretta has a steel captured replacement that is never in stock, and I see that Wilson Combat has a fluted one that can “retro” fit into the 92a1 with a flat 14lb spring. Thoughts?

    seeing some pretty nice cyberpowerpc rigs at best buy.......

    well they haven't exactly earned my business, now have they? making me drive that distance only to embarrass me by not taking my check.......

    You do better directly from the cyberpowerpc website. You can mod the machine with name brand parts as well.

    You are thinking of old time movies at 24fps. The average human is around 50fps, which means over 50% of the population needs faster than that.  Other studies say the average is around 75fps. Air Force fighter pilots have been tested at over 200fps. Your brain can process faster than your eyes, and your eye is not synchronized to your monitor refresh rate.  When you look outside you are glimpsing at a fluid motion source. If your pc is not running above 100fps, you are not creating a fluid motion source for your eyes, increasing brain activity to try to sync the images, causing headache and eye strain.

    I play the aaa titles, for those a single 1080ti is not enough to maintain 100fps at 4K.  I run a 1440p gsync monitor and can maintain the 100fps with all ultra options. The motion blur at 60fps  is terrible, I can never go back. Agreed if you aren’t running the latest titles, a 1070 would be fine.  Win10 is a solid platform for gaming, never had any issues. I do run a dedicated 256gb m.2 drive for it, a 1tb ssd for the main games, and a 2tb hd for storage and additional space. 

    For buying new, I went cyberpowerpc.  Pick one of their daily specials then customize it to get all name brand components. I built several this way and couldn’t even buy just the parts for cheaper.

    Update, I was going to go with the M9A3, and while still justifying the price in my head, a lgs had a barely used 92a1 come in, of which I negotiated and snagged for much less than half a new a3.  Made in Italy, rail, dovetail front site, 2 original mags and the original blue plastic beretta box. Cleaned, oiled, runs perfect. 

    So, are there any must have mods for this model, or is it awesome enough out of the box?

    You may get two different types of answers here. One is from leo, who are trained to run into a situation in which case they go with a higher capacity ccw. The other is the prepared citizen who will avoid the confrontation and only draw to protect oneself and family, until the professionals can arrive. 

    In FL, I mostly go with a Ruger LCP2 (in 380).  Fits in every pocket, reliable, lightweight, easy to take everywhere.  I did try a G43 (9mm) in a pocket holster, but even in cargo shorts it’s a bit heavy and bangs around a lot.  I then tried the inexpensive kydex at about the 2:30 and 3:30 positions with various cants, but it’s not comfortable at all. I have a crossbreed iwb coming soon, that I also will try at the 2:30 position.  If that is comfy, I may go G43 more often than the LCP2.  I would not go owb, as I would be self conscious about bending or reaching for stuff in a store and have it exposed.

    Can't conceal carry because the Democrats you keep voting and promoting for don't allow it.

    Ouch, but true!!

    i have both in 22lr, conversion kits for some of my larger calibers, as well as dedicated.  The best is still a target model in any of the Ruger Mark series, my favorite being a Mark 2 Target with the tapered 8” barrel.

    Was at my local lgs a few hours ago when they just received their deliveries, there was one P365 that they ordered for general stock quite some time ago! Well, it was broken right out of the box. The slide was jammed shut, totally stuck. When they finally got it moving, it would rack fine and fire, but it didn’t sound right.  At this point they were unable to disassemble it, flipped the takedown lever but slide would not move all the way forward to remove.  Back it goes. 

    I did get to compare it against my G43.  The length is about 1/2 inch shorter. Height about the same with the pinky extension 10 round to the Glock 6 with the +1 extension. The grip is very narrow front to back, in that it does not have a rear palm swell like the Glock. This could be why I could not get a good 2 finger grip with my boney hand. I thought the slide is blocky just like the Glock. The g43 is slimmer in overall width.  I looked at my just fired g43 brass, no primer drag at all, just a neat little dot right in the middle of every case. 

    Apart from the capacity, I am not going for the p365, does not offer enough for me to switch over. If I didn’t have anything comparable it would be on my list once the gen 2 is out.
