Yep. Hence why I think I may sell off a few items here in future. Between Sig P365/Hellcat (not a SA fan myself) and the Ruger/Kahr 380's zero need for tools of the 90's and "oughts."

I do have to say I don't get the P365XL. To me, it defeats the purpose of the 365. Just waiting for HK to release a paddle version of a "365 clone."
@Bigfatcock, LWS replaced with CW380 for me. Almost as small. Though without a DelFatti holster
There must be a new engineer in the product design dept at FC. This feels like someone wanted to make their piss mark in the snow.
No manual safeties here
. I guess since I have smaller hands (ruined my bass career so I just play air bass now) the 365 is damn near perfect - I shoot it quite well. I never shot the Hellcat primarily because SA's politics blocked me (and yes, I'm a hypocrite because if HK makes a paddle release 365 sized gun I'll buy...knowing I'll be paying 1.35-1.5x the price of a 365.

Now starting to fight the old-age-eyeballs. Cannot shoot with glasses on except with red-dots on long guns. Otherwise I'm doing somewhat okay with uncorrected vision for front sight picture and behind a scope.
Decent maybe but I see Federal is stacking it up against its own HSTP1. Change that to the HSTP3 (124gr +P and what I carry) and things look a bit different aka the only gain is 2 rounds. To each their own.
I agree, I'd already have put a full-deposit down if they made a slim stack (I won't call single or double) IF they make it paddle release. Paddle release really nice for smaller hands and for me much more natural (booo hiss on Walther for dropping PPQ paddle). Striker/hammer...don't care.
.
I forgot about the Mako. And I think there's another Animal Named 9mm out too. At least Sig just calls theirs by a number still.Hell man, I carry a crappy Taurus GX4 (A paltry 11+1). I don't know nuffin bout those fancy Hell 365 Mako Cats!
. You could go with a Beretta and reduce your round count with the "Nano." Again, if the 30 Super duper waste of time is all that, then when the big boys other than S&W play, I'll continue to look at it in amazement wondering..."why?" If round count is what people are going for, get the Ruger 5.7.I like Hornady Critical Duty 135gr. I was there when someone was gel tested with the material layers and all, it worked pretty well.
The broken firing pins and all turned me off of those, several guys had issues when they first came out with various things. I hear high round count they don’t last either but no personal experience there.
My buddy had his loaded with some hot .357, told me to try it so I emptied the cylinder to prove my manhoodForget Airweight...try Airlite!! Aka, INSTA-ARTHRITIS.

You aren’t wrong, I just heard/saw enough I wasn’t sure about carrying one. Even a handful of online reviewers said they weren’t sure about carrying one. I’m not a hater, just my feelings on it. They are a cool little carry gun though.
But how are you supposed to carry a few extra ounces? How will my pants stay up?!?
I had a buddy of mine say "no way it's worse than my 44 mag." Loaded up S&B 158g and he took one shot, said there was no way in hell he'd even shoot that with low power 38!!! My experience on the sub 20oz short barrel revolvers is that 120-135g is a hell of a lot easier to control than 158g.My buddy had his loaded with some hot .357, told me to try it so I emptied the cylinder to prove my manhood
The shorty S&w 500 with 700gr is smoother shooting than an airlite.
357Sig toast? Isnt US Treasury still using this?
An Official Journal Of The NRA | New For 2022: 30 Super Carry
Federal Premium announced the launch of 30 Super Carry, an all-new cartridge designed specifically for personal defense.www.americanrifleman.org
Do we really need another handgun cartridge?
Let's see over the past 20-25 years:
45 GAP - toast
357 Sig - about toast
327 Federal Mag - still made in an LCR (and this is one I like the concept to get one more round in J-frame..if they still made one)
327 H&R Mag - mostly toast
32 NAA - toast
Probably missing a few here in my list as well.

This is exactly why I dont understand the thought process of people recommending 38 or 38+p in little 14-16oz 5-shot LCR or Airweight over the "heavy recoil" of a compact/subcompact 9mm. It seems like most of those recommendations are based solely on weapon size and not actual recoil.
I mean, we technically can already if you fancy a bit of DIY and know your way around electrical engineering, just don’t expect more than one brief shot!
That’s why I tend to recommend the Shield EZ series, because it has enough meat to be controllable and not heavy, but still relatively easy to manipulate for guys or gals with limited upper arm strength (especially useful for older women where muscle mass starts to degrade with menopause)
You mean phasers....Someone wake me up when we can shoot lasers.
The exact opposite from my experience, it was always the husbands or “my neighbors a police officer/military”
The grip safety has probably caused more issues than it’s solved. Seen many new shooters gripping too low and not fully engaging them, also have seen seasoned shooters do it in competition so they taped them down. Seems like more of a feel good thing in the long run. “Look it can’t shoot if no one is around it and your not touching it” a good holster seems better, it definitely can’t shoot if you can’t even touch the trigger.
I’d always let them try those out first, some could still barely pull the trigger or in SA let alone DAlol. How you’re a healthy human adult with no disability can have the grip strength of a hamster I’ll never understand.

The 6mm DS is supposed to have a trajectory similar to that of a 338 Lapua; but with the recoil of a 22 WMR. A 30 round AR-15 magazine will hold approximately 67 6mm DS's just because the marketing department says so since the laws of measurements do not apply. Though the 6mm is only slightly bigger than a 223/5.56 because it has the recoil of a 22 WMR we are basing the round count on that and not of a 338 or a 6mm ARC. Thanks for considering this round in your future purchases. Sincerely, the new Vista-Hornady 6mm DS team.
Put this in something as slim as a 1903 Colt ( Browning ), and I'd actually sign up for it. Shrink the barrel length down and the we're on a win-win. But, not enthused about the 2 guns "introduced." But, I still say until somebody like Ruger, Taurus, or Kel-Tec (oh boy, did I say that???) at a minimum produce it, it's "vaporware." Preferably Sig or Beretta would come to play. We know HK won't, heck, they won't produce a 365 sized gun (that we know of).
I mean, even if it's not what the round was intended for, it does still make for a relevant comment. Something like SilencerCo's Maxim 9 engineered to take advantage of the caliber could be quite something, since 30SC is designed to behave well from very short barrels, and would help reduce the impact of some of the original compromises in the Maxim 9 design
