Went from Glock 19x to p365 mainly for easier concealed carry and still had a decent magazine capacity. Added an xl frame and a flat trigger. Runs great.

Luck is for the unprepared
It may look small on paper. However a few tenths of an inch slimmer is a lot when you're carrying.
I carry the G32 and Shield 45 a lot less. Now that I have the P365XL.
I went with the XL because I felt it was the right size for my needs. It felt great in the hand. The slide length is a non issue for how I carry. Most sources report smoother recoil impulse. I have not shot the P365. So I can't compare. However I can say the P365XL has the best recoil impulse of any 9mm I have shot. I get a small velocity increase with the additional.6" of barrel.
For what its worth I think the P365X is the best looking.
One of my range buds carries one as I do.
Hadn’t even shot the thing in 2 years.
Last week we engaged targets from 20 to 2 yds on timer. Both were flawless, good hits.
A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.
I used to carry a G26, but now carry a P365 regular slide with the XL frame.
One the endearing traits of the P365 (and variants) is a proper grip angle.

It's funny, since this thread started last year, i have since sold my P365 and moved to the P365XL with 507k red dot and TLR-7sub. I found i was always carrying the P365 with the 12 round mag anyway, and i like the feel of the XL better, so went with that. Such a great carry gun.
I carry the exact same setup, and I completely agree. It's quickly growing into my favorite handgun I own, period. What holster are you using BTW B Cart? I am using a Werkz currently because that was all that was out when the tlr7 sub was released, but I see now many other companies have them.
I am really tempted to drop the coin when the XL Spectre comp model comes out soon, I like them that much. I'm interested to see how much flatter an already flat shooting P365xl shoots comped.

Man, that XL Spectre comp looks amazing! And yes, i agree, my 365XL is definitely growing into my favorite handgun i own. It shoots so well. My 25 yard groups with it always impress me.
For the holster, i'm using a 4Bros kydex IWB holster (https://fourbrothersinc.com/), but i also don't remember there being many options available when i purchased it. It's been a good holster though!
Last year I bought my wife a Hellcat and just didn't like it very much and couldn't get a good light on it without a 3D printer. So I grabbed a XL and put a TLR7 sub on it along with a 407k. It's such a great little and capable package that I grabbed another one for my daughter who will be turning 21 in a couple weeks.
