Anyone debated Glock vs P365/XL with Red Dot Optic?

Why would you carry a gun that has a very high chance of failing when you need it?

that’s a pretty dumb statement

I know, guess he doesn’t realize you can see your iron sights just fine if the red dot were to fail.

I guess you dont realize that the 365 much like the 320 has a horrendous track record of parts breakages? How much of your life is spent assuming things?

I have over 15,000 rounds on my P320 without a single malfunction. Still on all original springs too. Have well over 2,000 on a bone stock P365 too. Not one jam or part breakage.

WRONG, just like the S&W shield, most new Glocks and plenty of other modern Strikefire handguns, the P365 had some issues with the initial release. Those were all fixed before the P365xl was even brought to market.

Cause glocks don't fail

Love my 365XL and I use the Romeo 0 on it, but not as a carry gun. Picking up a RDO off the draw requires a lot of practice, and I find that even though it may be faster in the end, the irons on my regular 365 are faster for me at this point.

Also, the Romeo 0 isn't the best RDO in the world. It's sole purpose is to fit on the narrow 365 slide, and everything else is subordinate to that. I find the control hard to access and non-intuitive and because it's so small the window you see the dot in is smaller than another RDO i've seen. It's very easy to lose the dot. It also feel cheap... although I don't know if that's a valid criticism.

That all being said, if you do go that route let me know. I ended up with an extra Romeo 0 from a 'cancelled' Optics Planet order that still shipped (and charged), and I have no use for two of them. It's BNIB and I'd take $100 just to get back part of my money. I've given up on OP as a place to buy stuff... they have gone down the tubes.

Do you still have that romeo 0?
