The romeo is still holding up will. The only complaint I have is turning it on.... takes to much time but it does have a rear cut out that acts as a rear sight built in so I do have the ability to grab and aim but not with the red dot on...... I'm tempted to leave it on and see how long battery last but just haven't yet. I think you'd like it.

I really like the Nexus with magnetic closures.

If you can treat yourself to a 55BN belt holster sometime, it is an old Bruce Nelson design and an exceptionally fast holster, I have one for 1911. I had one Bruce Nelson made for 92F/M9 that I gave one of my friends who was a Combat Engineer when he went to Iraq.

I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of the manual safety version of the P365.

I've also given up on the Blade Tech holsters for carry since trying an off brand of leather holster for the P320. I'll be checking out several brands of leather holsters.

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

Well thanks a lot to all you enablers. I jumped on the band wagon on my lunch break and bought a p365. They had a sale for $480 at a local store. So I gave in finally.

Money can't buy happiness... but it's much more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than on a bicycle.

waiting for a safety has me thinking....... of waiting...... but is carrying one with a safety really that smart? both my other 'carry' pieces have safeties... and it is what I'm used to.... but is that something you want to remember to do in a crisis? my muscle memory.... little of what I have, might look for the safety.

on my shotguns, I always hunt with it on safe.... with my right finger on it... and when a bird flushes or presents a shot... I never "think" about the safety. I flip it off and back on again without 'thinking' about it.

take em!

I trained for years on a 1911. So i still sweep the safety on all my autos. Just habit.

There is the debate for having a safety that it may save your life if someone else gets your gun.

Safeties have advantages and disadvantages. We will remember to use them...but will other members of your household?

Home invaders in our town usually get shot by the homeowners. In one tragic exception, however, a homeowner was assaulted. His wife got their pistol. but was unable to make it fire (apparently unfamiliar with the safety). Her husband was killed. while she stood there helpless with a gun that she could't make work!

I'm not a big believer in safeties that require a positive act other than pulling the trigger:

1. They are mechanical, and mechanical things fail.

2. They are one more thing that can go wrong when seconds count and your life is at stake.

To paraphrase Bill Jordan, if somebody wants to fiddle with two safeties while I'm shooting, that means "God loves me best".

3. Your stressed out wife or child may not remember the safeties when you are fighting for your life with a home invader.

I truly admire the Gold Cups and current 1911 models I have handled. I do not own or carry one, however. The reason... because I fail to depress the grip safety enough to release it at least one out of every 5 to 10 shots when drawn in a hurry. My failure, perhaps, but I consider it a life-threatening problem. There is also reason (3) above.

The first and best safety is always in your head and in your gun handling practices.

I joined the ranks of the P365! its smaller than my Shield... we'll see how I like it Saturday. weather is total sh*t here today and I picked up a shift tomorrow.

take em!

I've been shooting in the rain and wind for weeks and weeks... won't be able to shoot if the sun shines.
