Finally...the perfect carry weapon

[sajidakh]

I did it. After a decade of experimenting and thousands and thousands of learned dollars spent on equipment, holsters, doos and dads I think this is the perfect carry gun:

Wilson Combatized Action Tuned Sig P365 with a Holosun EPS enclosed green dot, F8 nightsights, PMM compensator, DPM recoil spring package (medium weight), and a Nightstick TSM 13W light. Ran anything I put through it to this point, but am still trying different holster combinations to find out what fits best. Needless to say the retention piece will be an ulticlip.

This is a compact enough package to carry everyday but maximized for first and followup shots. Is all this needed? Of course not. Under stress I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a stock p365 and this. But it feels good knowing that any problems that arise from this setup is purely user centric as the platform is as ready as its ever going to be.

Love to hear the hives' thoughts.

Nice piece. That said I’d personally remove the comp but sweet rig!

My first compd gun! I like the PMM because the gas vents up and not side to side

 

[Scottysan]

great setup! love the comp!

Fair Enough . ( See Blaster's thread)


But seriously :

I implore you to ditch the Compensator . Straight Up is actually the worst direction for a defensive gun . From retention position , from hip , etc , it will direct the blast right at your face/ eyes .

Seriously , it's only a 9mm , they don't kick that much to need a comp .

Optic isn't my taste , significant % feel otherwise .

Seeing in the dark is important . I'm sufficiently attuned to using hand light , but if you want gun mounted light , go for it .

Will take your opinion into account. I have a p365 in a more traditional configuration as well. The PMM is highly regarded, but I have yet to run through any courses with this setup to finalize my decision.

 

[Biggfoot44]

PMM well regarded compared to other Compensators , for doing Compensator things ? Could be , and have no reason to dispute that .

My warning is about ANY Compensator on defensive gun .

Looks great, hope it works well for you.

I prefer a minimalistic carry gun. I give up the accessories to have a lighter, more concealable tool. I like a no frills, small, point and shoot firearm for carry. A nightstand gun is different story.

 

[Jimgoespewpew]

I don't like the baubles and bolt ons for a carry gun, but I hope you love it and never need it.

Clearly you’ve put thought, time and money into your gun. It’s a beauty.

I‘m a KISS guy. Simple is best for me. Less is more for me.

I’m also a P365 guy when I’m not CZing it. A far cry from the 1911 I loved and carried for years.

Changing grips or sights is about as far as I want to wander. Windows intrigue me but IMO, absolutely not for a defensive piece. I’ve seen them fail AND I’m a Luddite. Compensators are to me a straight up example of us being hungry for new and more gadgets. I can maybe see it on a handgun whose caliber starts with 4 but then mostly for fun stuff and not defensive use.

I have the need for my hammer to just be a hammer. No frills. Just good old reliability and consistency. That requires me to do my part.

Gingerbread looks great and sometimes, even often works just as advertised. When hitting the nail on the head, in the dark, Im unconcerned with how she looks but much more concerned with if and how she works. Every. Time.

Love your SIG. It’s pretty and May run like a scalded goat. It’s just not something I’d wear daily on my hip.

May it keep you safe and make you happy if and when you have to get r out and go to work.

Nice!

But -1 for not editing out the bare man feet.

 

[calicojack]

That's a bit too bulky for, but one hell of a nice rig either way. I too prefer green over red for a dot.

In my most humble of worthless opinions, a carry gun should be pretty basic and have the least amount of things that can fail. All that extra add on stuff are just more things that can go wrong and cause malfunctions or failures.

A reliable gun with a factory trigger, factory magazines, proper cleaning and lubrication and quality ammunition are the best tools for carry.

The only thing I've done to my P365 is swap for the Wilson Combat grip to add the manual safety and seek out some 12 round magazines. Not sure I'd call it the perfect EDC gun because it's a little much to conceal in the summer with shorts and t-shirts but it's close. I'm certainly not adding anything to it to make it larger.

I think one defining characteristic of a EDC gun is that you never feel the need to show it off to anyone.

That's a nice looking piece. Good job. That grip looks really comfortable. Makes me want to trade in the 43x

I did it. After a decade of experimenting and thousands and thousands of learned dollars spent on equipment, holsters, doos and dads I think this is the perfect carry gun:

Wilson Combatized Action Tuned Sig P365 with a Holosun EPS enclosed green dot, F8 nightsights, PMM compensator, DPM recoil spring package (medium weight), and a Nightstick TSM 13W light. Ran anything I put through it to this point, but am still trying different holster combinations to find out what fits best. Needless to say the retention piece will be an ulticlip.

This is a compact enough package to carry everyday but maximized for first and followup shots. Is all this needed? Of course not. Under stress I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a stock p365 and this. But it feels good knowing that any problems that arise from this setup is purely user centric as the platform is as ready as its ever going to be.

Love to hear the hives' thoughts.

I saw the title of this thread in the email and thought, "oh sheez, here we go again! I wonder what BS this is going to be!?!"

Well, I gotta say, you might be RIGHT! Great stuff, enjoy that!

Man, those Wilson builds look sweet.

I'd run that comp in low light vs your other 365 to see if one shot destroys your adjusted NV worse than normal.

To each their own, but I like my carry guns to be factory other than sighting systems and lights. I either carry a 19x or a 43 depending on weather. Both have Night sights and white lights, the 19x has an RMR, and I run Shield mags in the 43 with 9+1 round capacity.

I highly recommend tier 1 holsters btw. A good belt (I run a nexbelt) with a tier 1 Agis Elite is the most comfortable rig I've worn in 23 years of concealed carry, and it disappears under a t-shirt.

Nice rig, how much?

Gee. And here I was thinking I had the perfect carry weapon.

Nice rig, how much?

If you gotta ask, it's too much

OP, you're getting a lot of "keep it simple" feedback, (where I am), but that shouldn't take away from your hot rig!
