I didn’t know anything about the P365 Fuse until a few days ago. If I saw anything about it before, I’m sure I skipped right over it because making compact guns into full size never had much appeal to me.
But then…
I was in the local shop this week and he was excited to show me one he just got in. Fine, I’ll look at it out of courtesy if he’s going to open the case and get it out. Yawn, another plastic pistol.
Hey, I like this!
I have been carrying a Sig P320 for almost three years. It’s not because I especially like the gun, but it was a quick and easy way into an RDS-equipped pistol when I admitted defeat and chose to get one.
The 17-rd magazines and 21-rd spares that were about as easy to carry as the 13-rd HiPower magazines I’m used to didn’t hurt things any.
This P365 Fuse also uses a 17-rd more-or-less flush fit mag and 21-rd spares.
But it is so much smaller than my P320.
And thinner.
OMG is it thinner!
One of the best things about my beloved Browning HiPower is their thinness. The slide makes it so easy to carry IWB, and the grip isn’t much bigger.
This P365 Fuse is at least that thin.
One of the other great things about the HiPower is the grip feel. I love it, and it seems to feel good in most hands.
Sure enough, this new 365 feels great also.
I completed my circle of the shop while the evil seed took root, and went back to grab that one but it was already promised to someone.
When he gets one that’s up for grabs, I’m probably going to snap it up.
