And by the way the one in California are optic ready with Flat trigger, if you own p365 as you claim , u got curved trigger and no optic option, they sell for $749 with Romeo Zero that makes it a good price for Californian .

[@Anthony74te27]

Sig Sauer is making $$$ for the 1st one to bring the M18 to California. The newest addition since micro stamping is not required . California gun market is so huge specially for anti gun state and that's why Glock still makes gen 3. Gun manufacturers need tap in to California market and start bringing the new cool guns to the roster.

[@ToddCotta]

In 2014 Glock had the Gen 4 guns out at that time but they required the loaded chamber indicator and the magazine disconnect. Glock will not disable their guns with a magazine disconnect. So we could have had generation 4 guns but Glock did not want to compromise.

I went with the P365 for the same reason the P320 is so popular. The modularity and flexibility. You can use any slide and once that idiotic magazine disconnect is removed (and the manual safety if you want), you can also use any grip module. If you want a longer, thicker, or different grip... just buy one. Want a longer barrel... purchase one.

Given that neither the 365 nor the Hellcat have a factory 30 round magazine(Pinned to 10 rounds of course 🤫) like the Glock 26, all things being equal I'd probably go with the Hellcat between the 2. Both seem like great options though super excited for the newcomers! I already have fullsize and compact handguns so fulfilling a subcompact/carry role the Hellcat seem more appealing in my opinion.

100% you had your thumb on the slide that caused it to not go into battery but you figured it out. For people that have issues with the grip I highly recommend to upgrade to Wilson Combat grip. And even better use the Wilson Combat X or XL grip. You get that beaver tail and better grip angle and it contours perfectly into your palm with slight ergonomic swell. I notice I shoot with more confidence, control and accuracy and I don’t even notice snappiness or recoil anymore. It’s an affordable upgrade that absolutely is worth every penny

[@stephendk905]

Gentlemen, thank you for the thorough review of the CA compliant P365. I hope this question is not to late but could you expand on why the empty mag safety is unsafe? I don’t agree with any of the California requirements but if the gun could be potentially more dangerous, I would like to know. Thank you again.

[@ToddCotta]

The magazine disconnect disables the trigger when the magazine is out of the gun, not when it is empty. My people practice dry fire with a gun when they are not at a range. The fundamentals of Dry Practice is to have a completely empty gun. Having to put a magazine in the gun to practice causes two problems. #1 it could be a loaded mag, #2 is it locks back when you cycle the slide, when it would not lock back if there was no mag in the gun. Locking back makes the gun pointing direction change and causes delays in training. The biggest issue is that If you are doing a tactical mag change, and have one round in the chamber, the gun is useless while you are transitioning to a new mag. This is dangerous because if you are defending yourself and you need that round it is not available to you. I hope this explains why we said what we said. Thanks for asking.

[@dirtyharry8629]

Hi, Thank you for your presentation on this sig p365. I take it, that its a 9mm? I have a question, 115, or 124 grain or even 147 grain. What is the grain referring to? 1. The weight of gun powder? 2. Or the weight of the bullet? 3. What is the largest grain recommended by professionals for this p365? 4. I just purchased the Massachusetts compliant version of the p365, 9mm, for the most part, it is identical to the California p365. I bought mine for $597 5. Can you guys talk about the changing out and demonstrate, how to upgrade to an extended slide release. 6. Your model looks the same as mine, and for the record, I like having a safety. But, I called sig in NH, and they said my sig is not Red ready for a red dot. 6. I think in both of our cases, we need to purchase an upgraded slide. 7. This is the first sig I have ever purchased, but I would really appreciate you guys digging in and helping me/us with some feedback on these other little details. Thank you, for all of your time and efforts! -Harry

[@ToddCotta]

115 is fine. The difference between 115 grain vs. 124 grain 9mm ammo is the weight of the bullet, with 115 grain bullets being lighter than 124 grain bullets. Basically, the 115 grain rounds are light and fast and the 124 grain rounds are heavy and slow.

[@dirtyharry8629]

Thank you for clarifying. Can you explain the advantage vs disadvantages of using 124, 147 grain?

[@417ah7]

The P365 mags come with a flat base and an extended base plate. I carry mine with the flat base because it conceals extremely well. However, the extended base plate is preferable for larger hands. Great gun, extremely accurate, but all Sigs are sighted in for a Combat Hold (white dot OVER the target), not the more common Center Hold (top of sights on the target).

Of course I find this out after pre paying for a Kahr PM9. I was gonna use the magguts kit and add the +1 for 7+1. I just needed a tiny pocket carry for when I go walking in the summer honestly. I bought 2 of the 8 round mags to have back ups. Kinda sucks on one hand because I've wanted the hellcat since it came out before I moved here. Honestly outsiders only know about our 10 round rule. No one talks about the idiotic roster. So when I moved here and found out I couldn't have it I was livid to say the least. But LA county will only allow 3 guns for carry on the permit. I secured a glock 30 and 26. Just needed the kahr to fill that niche in my life. I'm not sure I could do a hellcat in the pocket anyways. If you're familiar with athletic wear that is designed to be breathable it's extremely thin and the pockets are tiny. You only have a draw string keeping it on. So I think the Kahr was still probably the best choice for me as my 3rd gun for the horrible heat in SoCal during the summer.

[@ToddCotta]

Yep

[@robertcastanon6474]

Just from the issue of battery no go for me on the 365

[@ToddCotta]

Not sure what was going on with that but I know my thumb was riding the slide pretty hard. Once I moved it it was fine.

Hello from Kommifotnia! Hope all is well in the great white north!!

Can the ca p365 fcu be used in a xl frame legally? (Mag disconnect)

[@ToddCotta]

yes it can. It just cant be sold new in the configuration.

[@Willmelendz]

I just bought the p320 m18 and 30 exact days later (today) I purchased a p365. Cali resident 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

[@ToddCotta]

Glad you are taken care of! Thanks for watching!

[@ltsAproblem9]

Recoil is crazy on it

[@ToddCotta]

Small guns are a handful for sure.

[@davidmerrell1163]

Can't you just swap the FCU to the xl frame?

[@ToddCotta]

We don't know yet.

[@richardtimpa8614]

Omg. You guys don’t you even know your products? Yes you can move the fcu around just like the 320s

[@SecondAmendment_2A]

Sadly I paid $830 for mine here in California what a way to kill the pocketbook and then paid $500 for a P365X SPECTRE COMP 9MM 3.1" INTEGRATED COMPENSATOR SLIDE ASSEMBLY

[@ToddCotta]

I hope you like the new slide. Thanks for watching;

[@bigpookie1122]

Looks like the way ur left hand was on or very near the slide. Thats what the issue might of been.

[@ToddCotta]

Yes, I bet that was what was going on. It is too small for may hands and I was over gripping it pressing on the slide. Thanks for the observation.

[@ToddCotta]

That is awesome, you will love it!

[@nitegoat1369]

I paid $430 for my brand new FNS-9C, without having to pay any of the CA fees (DROS, FSC, excise tax, etc). All I had to pay was sales tax.; this was right before the ‘Rona hit. Unfortunately, since then, our tyrannical governor has signed so many new gun control bills into law, that we are pretty much the CA of the Midwest - and she’s just getting started. I can’t believe I left CA, only to be dealing with the same policies, in my home state of Michigan. On the bright side, at least I can carry here, and have ammo shipped to my home.

[@ToddCotta]

Let's see what happens in the next few months.

Great video

Glad you enjoyed it. Have a great holiday weekend!

Can you make a video of all the possible firearms being added to the roster?

HERE..TAKE MY MONEY!!💸💸

[@ToddCotta]

Haha, we can't keep them in stock. They are gone before they even arrive at the store. Let's see how long this lasts. At least until the Hellcats come out. Thanks for watching!

[@UncleMilty]

I'm #40 on a list at my lcs.

[@G1FREAKZ]

I paid 500 here in 2A loving state of Texas 😳🤣✌️🍺🇺🇸

[@ToddCotta]

Great gun, but in CA they charge for everything!

[@shannonvalles6163]

Apex needs to make a LCI delete, and I already know how to take mag disconnect out SO THERE!

[@almaadams3631]

Safty is a no brainer as well. Ask your government goons if all criminals in Cali are carrying "roster" compliant firearms.

[@ToddCotta]

Safety levers are a negative for me. I am sure apex will be working on something soon.

[@ToddCotta]

They are not for sure.

[@TheJmalave]

That price is ridiculous!

[@ToddCotta]

I don't know what SIG is doing? It cant cost $250-300 more to add one part to a gun to make it CA complaint. Thanks for watching!

[@DjRayRay09]

I’m in California I would rather have a hellcat.

[@ToddCotta]

Me too! Thanks for watching!

[@markcreamer3196]

I live in California, for me personally ill stay with my glocks ,they ( Glock) never fail

[@ToddCotta]

Actually lately we have had to return a few glocks for manufacturer defects. Its very odd.

[@IWBVS]

@@ToddCottawhat was wrong with the glocks?

[@rbm6184]

If its a striker pistol I demand a manual safety. I will not buy a striker pistol without one. Carrying a striker pistol without a manual safety is like carrying a 1911 without a grip safety cocked but not locked. A light single action trigger just waiting to snag on something when least expected causing a negligent discharge. Not even Jeff Cooper recommended carrying in condition zero. A manual safety is no big deal. Train with it. It does not take any longer on the draw to flip the safety off with the thumb. If folks don't want to use it they don't have to but it would be there for folks that do and for folks that need it.

[@ToddCotta]

You know you can carry what you like. I prefer no safeties but use a holster when I am carrying. I just don't want the government telling me what I can and can't do with my firearm. So just because you believe that you're safer with a safety doesn't mean other people are. Thanks for watching!

[@Ohnaurohnaurr]

Your voice audio is panning back and forth. Left ear to right 😅

[@ToddCotta]

There was a glitch in the matrix. I don't know what happened. I couldn't fix it. :(

[@AviMus82]

Glock bending over backwards? All they have to do is add a LCI and a magazine disconnect. It’s easy. Most people remove that crap anyway.

[@ToddCotta]

GLOCK will not produce a gun that will not fire. I don't blame them. It is their product and they still have some of the best guns on the market. Why change? Thanks for watching!

[@Cuba537]

So you guys can't have a Glock 43X even it's a 10 rounder ?

[@ToddCotta]

It is more that 10 round, must have loaded chamber indicator and mag disconnect from the trigger to be on the list. It is a royal mess.

[@akui88]

800$ for that? I paid 450$ for the same gun a few months ago and it came with 3 12 round mags. But then again i live in texas.

[@ToddCotta]

Question, did yours come with three dot tritium night sights? Curious because it is standard with the CA model. Thanks for commenting.

[@akui88]

@@ToddCotta yes it did, i think it is standard on all p365.

[@davidheidary7124]

Thanks for the video 👍✌️ Sure kicks badly. Tiny guns are for lady's purses or a back up to something you can shoot with in a gun fight. Also tiny guns do not work well if you have big and meaty hands. Feels and looks awkward trying to grab and shoot in a jam. Yes, I know the fad is on and most mall Ninja type are looking for micro guns!

[@ToddCotta]

Exactly. Thanks for watching!

[@417ah7]

Micros Guns are great for concealment IWB with a good holster, but they do have some kick. For larger hands, a Glock 26 may be the ticket for control and concealment.

[@curtisb.cookin665]

Guys!!! Leave California!!!

[@ToddCotta]

If I could I would. Thanks for watching!

[@TheCollector5150]

I call BS on the cost increase. S&W and Springfield are bringing their offerings at the same price as they sell them for in the rest of the country. I am a huge Sig fan but they are gouging Californians in this case.

[@ToddCotta]

I see it too but they put night sights on the 365. Subtract $150 without the sights and it's not more.

[@Earth2FullGone2Space]

I’m interested in the Hellcat pro please do a review on that. Californian here, and excited for all of it. Thanks and take care.

[@pilisopa]

Exactly. Ruger's selling Max 9 under $400.

[@nevadabest4278]

Miss-informed statement, people won't by a pistol with a manual safety

[@ToddCotta]

Not sure what you mean. Many people will not buy guns with a mechanical safety. I hear from them all the time.

[@kdsheld]

This gives me sadness because Colorado seems to be only a few years away from this 2a control stupidity

I was just talking about Colorado today and my CCW class I was teaching. Yeah, California poisons every state around it. That's for sure. Thanks for watching.
