I’ve been carrying a Shield in 9mm since they came out and have had zero problems with it. It does seem a little hard to hold on to when shooting it but that would be my only con. I picked up a Sig P365 in a shop the other day and it felt like the grip was 10x better then the guy tells me holds 10+1 or 12 +1. I can’t get my mind off that pistol and the sights were better. Any reason I shouldn’t change my every day carry? The only thing I don’t like is lack of external safety.

Buddy of mine just bought a 365. He LOVES it.
You gonna sell the shield?

I’m in the same boat. Can’t decide between the 365 or the hellcat. The hellcat felt really good and the sights are great

Possibly. I was going to give it to one of my daughters. If I buy one I’m going to let all of my girls shoot both and go from there. I might end up buying four Sigs and it would be sold for sure.

P365 for the win. Best small 9mm I have ever tried, and I have tried a bunch of them.

I just switched to the P365 as well. Hard to beat more carrying capacity in the same concealable package. Previous CCW was XD-S .45 and have a Shield 9mm

I tried the 365 and the hellcat and liked the way the hellcat fit and handled a little better. Both companies did an excellent job with them as far as size and magazine capacity, and I don’t think you can go wrong with either.

If I were just buying one, I'd get the 365.
Since I already own a shield, I just put a $12.00 Hogue grip sleeve on it.
Make a world of difference with the grip feel.
I'd like to have a 365, but I just like my shield too much to quit carrying it.

hard to choose - Shield, Hellcat, and 365 are all great guns. Preference most likely would be determined by hand size and method of carry.

I went with the Glock 43X. I bought the shield mags that make it hold 15+1. I am carrying in a kingtuk iwb. It is my favorite so far. I want to try the cz rami 2075 and the 365 sig just to see if I like them better.

I traded in my Glock 43 to buy the P365. Great little gun, but they really gouge you on the price of extra magazines.

Between the two I'd go 365 based on feel. I personally went Mossberg because of the 3.4 inch barrel not that I'm a ballistic guru but I've seen better performance once you get past 3.25 lengths.

Sig 365 has a manual safety model as an option.

In recently sold my g43 in favor of the 365 w/manual safety. It’s the best shooting small pistol I’ve ever shot.

I’ve had a shield and it’s not even close to the same league as the 365 in any aspect.

Zero downside to a 365 over a Shield other than the price.

First mag I fired from mine at 21’ and pistol shooting is definitely not my forte.

P365 for the win!

I've had the Shield, the Hellcat, and now the Sig.

The Sig has been my favorite by a mile.

I bought a shield 9mm for $279 I think, it was under $300. What does the sig cost? Thats probably hom much difference there is. The smitty is a nice cheap conceal carry pistola. Nothing wrong with it but its a cheaper gun. Step up to a glock, step down a little to a taurus g2. Seems like to me the price translates pretty good on pistols as far as how nice they are. Alot like scopes. But I do have limited experience. Holding the three ive mentioned in your hand with your eyes closed, its hard to tell the difference.

Larry’s had p365 for 499 I think I gave around 400 for Shield when they first came out.

I have the sas and a hellcat and a 43. I prefer the hellcat. I think I would prefer the 365xl over all.

I dont have a problem with my shield. If you break into my house tonight while im asleep, thats what youll be getting shot by. I figured the sig cost a little more and is probably a little fancier

In the house that’s the last thing I’m grabbing.😬Glock 35 or shotgun depending on where I’m sleeping.
