Yup its a Wilson so it will be pricey. IIRC $2699 is MSRP but the EDC X9 and the EDC X9L both sell for under MSRP if you know where to look. I still think that is too much for a sub compact carry gun.
 
Thought I was going to have to buy one till I saw how much it weighs. IF it were 16 oz or the weight of a P365, I would want one. Will stick with P938 and P365 till Wilson has something the same weight. Quality, size, reliability, and weight are the things that matter most to me.

I don't think they will ever make a poly version which is the only way they are going to get the weight to the numbers you are looking for. If you have a P938 and a P365 that run I would stick with them. Personally I will not buy a new Sig because for me reliability is my primary criteria.

Sharp looking gun and surely will work very well. But my CZ Custom Protek was at least $1k less and smooth as silk.

Isn't the Protek a P01? Its a compact not a subcompact but I hear what you are saying. I certainly am not going to replace my Sphinx SDP Subcompact with this. That only cost me $600ish and with a spring change is equal to my CGW CZs.

I have the 2 you mentioned....I just can't quite explain this like I want to. I am not to the place where I trust these things. I'm carrying the 365 daily but with a "View" backup. 5 shot 38, 10 oz loaded. I'm with you on the reliability, if it doesn't go bang it's useless to me.
As to the Wilson, well, ya'll know I no longer have it. That said, reliability was not Ever a problem with it. Just had a P35 callin my name.

Specs are close. CZ barrel is a little longer. Weight seems about the same from memory. I don’t sweat an ounce either way or .01 inches. Some people do.

I hear you on the Sigs. I just can't trust them. I wanted to love the P365 but it literally crapped the bed before it was supposed to be sold to the public. They seem to have made it right but I just can't trust them. So I lug around other larger guns.

P01 is not a Protek 1. Protek 1 has no rail and is lighter. Plus some of the slide has been milled and lightened up. But the P01 is fine none the less. 1/2 makes all the difference in the inseam. Not so much in a holster. :p

Oh sorry its a PCR which is the same size as the P01 minus the rail.

It is well known and documented. IIRC the gun has gone through 3+ version changes since its introduction. Problems were uncovered that involved the SIG Lite night sights breaking off, bad trigger springs, failure to go into battery, and light primer strikes.

https://gunmagwarehouse.com/blog/the-sig-p365-a-long-term-review/

I remember sitting and talking with Larry Vickers and Ken Hackathorn at dinner about how Sig has great designs with great potential but they release a gun that is 85% done. They let the buying pubic beta test them and then they refine the design. 2 years later they have the gun they should have had from jump. Both agreed never buy a new Sig design until it has been on the street for 2+ years but what do those two guys know about guns?

Yep...the difference between OOH!! and AHHH!!![emoji39]

Pretty gun, but after an altercation, I’d much rather let a $500.00 Glock sit in an evidence locker than a $2,500.00+ gun. JS.

There is no evidence locker if there is no body! :eek:
 
I agree about Sig and beta testing with their customer base. It is such BS!

Having said that, I guess Sig got it figured out. I’ve had my P365 for about a year and put close to a thousand rounds through it. No real issues at all so far.

They had me at "Flush Cut Reverse Crown", but my springer EMP4CC will have to do.

I was about to say Springfield EMP all day long, but I hate them so....yeah still not ponying up this kind of cash for a carry gun when a $429 Glock 43X exists.
 
That's a lot of money to be sitting in a police evidence locker....I would rather give up a $600 Sig 365.

My thoughts exactly! And I’ve been in the situation. I worked in a hardware store after I retired from the Army. I was carrying a S&W Performance Center 1911 Commander size .45. I’d ended up with about $3k in it, all said and done. Anyway, it was about closing time one day and a car pulled into the parking lot and backed up to the building and sat running. Two thugs with their pants down to their knees got out and came inside. They left the driver in the car, still running. The girls called me to the front when they came in. It was about 5:45 and everyone in the area knows the girls count up money about that time. I asked them if I could help them and they told me they were looking for lawnmowers. I told them they were on the other side of the building and I’d be happy to show them. They were more interested in what was going on where they were. About that time, the guys from downstairs in the warehouse showed up at 2 different exits and I turned so I could get a better shot without hitting one of the girls at the register. Nothing had happened yet but they were an open book and you could read every thought. They looked at their problem and left without another word. Our Sheriff came in a couple days later and I told him what had happened. I asked him what would have happened if I had to shoot both those idiots ( and yes, I know the answer). He said you were in fear for your life! I also asked about my gun. He told me I may or may not have gotten it back, depending on the situation and the judge. I decided then and there that I could stand to lose a $500 Glock better than a $3k custom job! I’ve been carrying a Glock 19 MOS ever since. In the summer I switch to a G43.

Did you pay the "coolness" tax or something? Mine was $499 and tax. But I guess at today's ammo prices, if you had a full 15rd mag of HST it could creep on up there.

This is bad info. The P365 is extremely reliable. I carry one all the time now and have a few thousand rounds through mine and multiple pistol classes using it at Apex Defense Group prior to using it for carry. I earned its place. I have never had a failure UNLESS i tried to make it fail by pushing very hard on the slide as i shot it. It has deep slide serrations, so if you push your offhand thumb along the slide hard as you shoot it, those serrations can dig in. But this is true of any gun. Since it is so darn small if you have oven mitts for hands you can practically get your whole thumb along the slide.

I did wait a year before i bought mine. I never buy "new" anything. I think the hubub about primer drag was BS. People on the internet whine about all sorts of useless stuff they don't understand in the first place. I am a fan of greasing my guns. I find that the two most common problems with guns is: no lubrication and limp wristing, followed closely by impinging on the slide during recoil.

A gun that fails is useless.

"Pricey....."

Well. That is one way to put it.... Of course, I recognize that I am the world's biggest cheapskate and that I wailed in sorrow after spending $650 on a sig 226. Most expensive handgun I ever bought.
