    When I'm in a state I carry a Browning 1911 380

    I just bought mine! I was looking at the Glock 43 x, The shield 2.0, and the 365. I love the way the 365 felt in my hand. I will be picking it up this weekend once I hand him the permit sheet

    I just bought my first gun. A Glock 17 3rd gen. I pick it up on the 27th. I will be taking class for concield carry shortly. In CA apparantly I cant buy a gen 4 or 5. CA sucks hard.

    Yes I do. It’s smaller and I shoot it better too.

    But if it’s a 380 is it really a 1911? Is it full size? That’s a hell of a big cannon to conceal.

    Looks like Cal is just like Mass. . No Gen 4 or 5 Glocks here either so I never even considered one. There are sneaky ways to get one here but it’s a pain. Just not worth it to me when there are so many Sig and S&W products.

    I guess if you insist but it’s kind of like calling a 4 door Regal a GS.

    I wanted to get one of these but you can't buy them new in MA anyway. Sig 238 with an extended finger 7 round mag is a close substitute

    The Browning is smaller than a combat patterned 1911.

    It might no look like much, but if it's a CCW, it makes a big (small?) difference. :D

    Yes, I have also the p938 which is same gun as the 238 but 9mm instead of 380. I wanted a bit more punch. Still can’t beat the 10 rounds of 9 the 365 has. Just incredible.

    Nothing wrong with a gen3. I have several, some with well over 10k rounds through them.

    What holster are you using with your 365?

    You see the Taurus pt111 is a 9mm an does 12 rounds cheaper than 365

    The sig 365 is considerably thinner (among other things) than the pt111 and depending on how you carry that can make a big difference. If it's something you plan to carry to possibly defend your life, price shouldn't be the end all do all you base your decision on IMO.

    Here's a cool site where you can compare sizes:

    Click on your first choice and a new page will open for your second choice.
    Here's a comparison of the Sig P365 vs the M&P Shield. Hard to believe the Sig holds 10+1 rounds vs the Shields 7+1.
