Then there is what many consider to be the “ideal” class of pistols for concealed carry. While quite “lethal”, these small calibers may not have the immediate desired effect on your attacker. Due to their tiny nature they can be difficult to shoot well, often have hard-to-see sights, and unfortunately poor terminal performance. This is what makes them great backup guns. Being easily concealed, even in summer attire, is their great virtue. Due to their small size, they are easily carried, so you are more likely to actually have it when you need it. Ultra-compact pocket pistols have long been popular, despite their underpowered nature. The flip side of this is choosing something tiny and “cute” in a poor-performing caliber such as. 38 snubby, single-stack 9mm or smaller pocket pistol, making it well-suited for concealed carry. The SIG Sauer P365 has distinct advantages over a 5-shot. A carry pistol isn’t a fashion statement it’s a way of life. Key point to remember, you don’t know the day or hour of an attack, so you must always be ready. Once their short love affair is over, it ends up living in their safe, or on their nightstand. All too often though, someone selects a carry piece which is physically too large and heavy for them to realistically carry on a daily basis, like they should. Remember rule number one of a gunfight, have a gun. If you choose a pistol that turns out to be too large, bulky or heavy for your particular needs, you will probably not carry it day in and day out. Of the two, I think going too big/heavy is by far the worst choice. Two common mistakes when selecting a carry pistol are going either too big/heavy or too small.

This all sounds relatively straightforward. It must be of heavy enough caliber to be effective in a life and death struggle.It must be accurate and ergonomic enough for you to be able to make rapid multiple hits at realistic distances with it.It must be small and light enough so you will have it when you need it.There are some basic, but vitally important points you must take into consideration: SIG Sauer’s P365 9mm Micro-Compact pistol offers everything you need for concealed carry and personal protection in a very well-thought-out package.īefore I delve further into the SIG Sauer P365 though, let’s consider what you should look for in a pistol intended for concealed carry. What I like best though, is it puts all of these features into a pistol which is very easy to shoot well. For peace of mind it has a capacity of 10+1, 12+1 or 15+1 depending upon which size magazine you select. Better still, it is chambered for the 9mm cartridge, so it has the performance of a service pistol, but in a smaller package. Plus, it is light so you can carry it all day without noticing it. It is small and fairly narrow making it very easy to conceal. Why SIG Sauer’s P365? Simply due to the fact that it meets so many requirements for concealed carry.
