That was encouraging. I hope the P365 works out since I have a niche for it.
"It looked like someone poured milk in it." regarding the factory lube/corrosion inhibitor might answer the reliability issues seen in the earlier video.

His complaint about the size of the grip wouldn't be valid for most of us I think. Looks like he has really big hands.

What is the load-assist device he's using to load mags?
Looks like an UpLULA.
That's it.
And they work really well.

My main reason of interest in the P-365 is that I want as small a compact platform to wear while in an office environment, that still accommodates a 9mm cartridge, and at least 10 rounds on hand. I've been wearing my G-19, but have to choose my wardrobe carefully to ensure no disclosure.
I ordered a Vedder Light tuck for it, should be here by the end of the week!
So far, weather and time constraints have kept me from running an in depth test of the new P365.....however, I can say without hesitation, that I am liking the way this little platform is performing!
It's easier to shoot and more accurate than I anticipated. With a Vedder Light Tuck, I barely know I have it on and it's virtually impossible to detect, and that's exactly what I needed!
Frankly, it's compact enough that it could take over BUG duties from my old S&W 38 Airweight!
I hosted a Handgun Combatives class with Dave Spaulding here at my range this past week……one of the students had a 365 that he brought along just to let people try it…….I was sort of so-so about it, but my wife shot it and said, "I'd like one of those!" I'm a firm believer that one should NEVER let a statement like that from your wife go unrewarded. When the class was over one of the students wanted to go to Saratoga and check out the Wolf Hotel (he's a big C.J. Box fan)…..across the street the LGS was having a big open house…..to make a long story intolerable, they had one marked at $539 so it came home with me. I put it under my wife's pillow….when she found it I said, "my gosh there's not only a tooth fairy but also a gun fairy!" ("gun fairy" is not a left hand reference to Flave!!). Anyway---too early to tell about reliability…..will keep you informed. It did make her very happy with me though.
I can tell you that it's smaller than her Shield and the grip looks and feels THINNER than the Shield with a Hogue rubber wrap around it. That surprised me!

A very common scenario in my neck of the urban woods. Sometimes the choice is unarmed vs completely concealed and always properly armed. Perfect role for the P365
