New to me Sig 365-not a good fit

Like King Rat said:
"It seems EDC gun now are becoming more of a "Combat" firearm than Practical EDC. I am convinced the Kahr CM9 etc. remains one of the best out there. Light weight, smallest in size and again a fantastic trigger. Maybe in the future, the way things are going we will need a good combat carry. But not quite there yet."

I've survived combat operations on three continents in my life. When I have gone into places where a gunfight was likely I carried a Browning Hi-Power or full size Government model Colt 45 auto.
EDC in the continental US of A is a whole different situation, or at least it has been most of my life. That might be changing and I'll feel the need to bring the Hi-Power or Mark IV Series 70 .45 out of retirement again. I hope not, but the civil environment in America has definitely become less safe.
My practice routine with the handguns I use for EDC is 90 % Close, Fast and with no "sighting" beyond getting the front sight into the middle of the target. The target is a blank sheet of 11x17 copy paper btw. I don't use my purpose built shooting glasses with lenses ground for iron sight shooting since I won't have them on me at that moment when I need my sidearm to save my life or the life of another. About 10% of my range time is spent on longer shots, using the sights just to establish in my mind what my capabilities are with my EDC handgun for aimed shooting should I ever have time to aim. There's no question that in those situations, a red dot would be a real benefit. As I mentioned earlier..I have one on my T/C Contender and well aimed, tight groups are easily attainable.
For most of my "up close and personal" practice however....THIS GUY is in the back of my mind screaming...QUICKLY..QUICKLY..QUICKLY..!!!!!!

I agree. I practice with one side of a paper grocery bag, no markings. I usually carry a 380 so I put six in it as fast as I can. If I ever have to shoot at a bad guy I hope he is wearing a light brown sweater.

My favorite target is two 10 inch paper plates taped to a cardboard backing one about 15 inches above the other at 7 to 10 yards. 2 shots on the bottom plate and one on the top plate as fast as I can.

ROTFLMAO..!!!
Done with the morning coffee or that could have cost me a keyboard..!!
Someone asked me why I’m shooting at a plain, 11x17 unmarked sheet of copy paper. I held one against his torso with the top edge just under his neck.
“ OH..!” Was all he said. Lottsa folks ‘round here in plain white “ T’s”.

I think you need to be in the age group that does not know what a wall phone is perhaps to like them I did like my 365 though...

On a recent bike ride with my wife & daughter, we chanced upon this at the Bay Trail Visitor's Center . . . hadn't seen one in so long that I felt compelled to take a picture.

Wow, that is pretty rare, hadn't thought about it much but I can't remember the last time I saw one. Wonder if it works.

What is it?

I'd very much like to try the Sig P365 XL but just can't justify the cost. A friend has one, loves it, I'll try it at some point.

Right now the only autos I'm carrying are both .45's. One is the Kahr CW45 and the other is a 1911.

I go out into the back yard and hang a 10" reactive target on a dead tree. 7 yards. 10 yards. I hang it about chest high. Sometimes, I just pick a dead tree that hasn't been shot at, and empty a mag. I've always liked the suggestion that has been mentioned here numerous times. Start at the waist and just let the firearm rise up on its own. For defensive purposes, I carry either a Ruger SP101 in .357 or my .40 H&K. That shooting theory works well with those calibers imho...............................
