If you were ever in a situation that warranted use, target would be close enough that you'd hit it.
But I hear you - it's taking time for me and the XL to be decent at using it.
I have had a lot of force on force encounters and I have never been comfortable with a small gun.
However, even though my work gun is an P320 xfive legion and my concealed carry is a p320 spectre comp…I never saw the p365 xl or micro as a disadvantage..they hold as much as a full size, have a great grip angle, and can run normal rugged red dots.
Would I carry one? I’m really not sure mentally I could ever overcome it with all my other options that are available..but if I couldn’t carry a full-size the p365 micro would absolutely be my go to..I even own one..never shot it though
