home pistol question

[Hedgelj]

Opinions please.

Current home defense pistola is p320 ‐ not happy with the increasing number of issues and trainers not allowing them on the line secondary to issues.

Role - home defense (when long gun is not available/ needed) will live in a battle belt. Occasional to rare carry, range and class use. Prefer softer shooting so the wife doesn't hate it.

Primary ccw - p365 OG size

Initially i was looking into fn 509, 365 macro xl, fn reflex xl, etc. I'm also debating putting an optic (rmr) on it. Shot a few at a range yesterday.

365 axg legion - fits my hand, shot well if i drive the gun, slide release and i didn't get along

365 xl - snappy enough my wife wouldn't like it, the metal frame of the legion really does mitigate it (along with the comp)

mp 2.0 metal - had a vortex rmr and i shot the gun exceptionally well and the only dislike was had to slightly adjust for slide release and the trigger reset i would need to learn

i can't find the FNs anywhere to shoot. Glock grip angle and i disagree.

Thoughts?
leaning towards the mp for to price and i shot it well at this time.

Man I think it all comes down to what’s a good fit for you. My hand size is small so my EDC is a P365X no optic. I wish I had went without the safety because sometimes in quick draw drills I found myself hitting the safety up. I have a Hellcat in my nightstand with an optic and I love the ergonomics but I can’t get used to the optic. Works better to bring the gun up close to your face to acquire a sight picture then out. I’ve not fired the MP metal but it has great reviews. Sig, MP, SA, I would trust my life with any of them reliability wise.

Glock…. I carry a 26…. The wife has a S&W M&P next to her spot on the couch and a Bersa 380 with a crimson trace laser sight next to the bed…..
All backed up with a AR and a 30round mag for backup….
Have you looked at any of the Kimbers?

Go with what you like. They are all good IMO it's about what feels right

Damn .. Better not go knocking on J's door late at night... As for best home defense weapon... Nothing beats a nice 12 gauge shotgun loaded with 00 buck..

There may or not be one of those as well…. Maybe….

All that really matters is shot placement.
Be it a Glock, a Colt, a Ruger or a rock.

Considering the history of Kimbers metallurgy - no thanks

That's an opinion that can be refuted.
