Thinking about pulling the proverbial trigger on a new conceal carry with the bells and whistles. Curious if anyone has any experience running this model and had any details they can share

I've found it anywhere from $899 - $939. Similar price point to the P365 (w/ red dot installed) but this model also comes with the comp. I'd likely upgrade the mags to the larger 15 capacity if I end up going this route.

No experience but I’m sure it’s a good gun. Can you find a holster for that though? I always prefer a less bulky carry gun and if I’m pulling a gun in self defense somewhere I won’t need a dot or light Bc the assailant will be up close. Those mods are for home defense IMO.

I have the non comp version. It’s my everyday carry.

The holster was one of the first things I thought about as well. They've got several options for IWB that look good from what I've been able to find.

Overall I've heard pretty good things from people that run the factory Hellcat and OSP model. I'm hoping this would build off of that experience

Would love to hear the functionality of the compensator… looks great on John wick’s guns but I question if it’s worth the extra size

N8tactical will work. It has an open bottom on the gun sleeve.

FYI Scheels has 15 rd mags on sale today for $31.99.

Just my opinion... but the comp looks like it was an afterthought and I'd just go with the P365x or the xl version.
