I am not a glock hater as I have a few of them, my friend and I went to the range yesterday he had just bought a glock 43x, after shooting my P365 side by side, he took the 43X up to the gun sales counter and sold it for a huge loss and bought a new Sig. Anyone who really shoots these guns will tell you the sig trigger just makes the sig gun much easier to hit with. Now I have a G17 that I can shoot better but its had a lot of stuff done to the trigger, springs, connector etc. Let's face it in a small gun like the 43X a 5 pound trigger that breaks and then slams into the frame is likely going to throw your shot off,especially if your not an expert shot anyway. It is work to make a good shot with a small glock, I had a 43 and shot two classes with it however what was hard with the 43 is easy with a p365. I am however going to look at the new gen5 34 again not a hater just a practical common sense realist.
I haven't shot a G43 yet so with that disclosure, I
really like the Sig P365. Was shooting my recently purchased 365 standard and a rented 365XL side by side and both are extremely shootable and point quickly and naturally. That latter is a huge criterion for me in a defensive pistol. Firing 50 rounds (25 each, 5 at a time) by picking them up and firing just as soon as I see the front sight on target creates a nice 2" raggedy hole with both, centered just slightly low and right. The right part I fixed by drifting the rear sight on the 365, most pistols out of the box shoot right for this left hander. The low part I figure can be adjusted by going to a heavier bullet than the 115 grain ammo I was using.
On the G34 part of your post, I also bought a Sig P320 XFull when I bought the 365 but it doesn't point as naturally. I rented a G34 and shot those two side by side with the same drill, pick it up and fire just as soon as the front sight is on target. The P320 printed low and right with scattered shots including a few out of the bullseye, maybe a 5-6" group total. The G34 printed a nice 2-3" group right above the 10 ring. The P320 shoots much softer for me, it's like a Beretta 92 in that regard, where the G34 is not as comfortable not only to shoot but just "in the hand". But as you note being a common sense realist, results is results and the G34 points much better for me. In deliberate slow fire both are very accurate and can produce nice tight groups off hand.
Handled a standard P320 Carry that has the original grip and curved trigger and it points much more naturally than the X version so I have a new grip and curved trigger being delivered this week. Will put those on the X version and see if that helps. If not then a G34 G5 will very probably be coming into the household.
