Okay, so the one on the right aka the top one is running a YHM Phantom and is a SBR 10.5". It also mounts to the middle one my 20" DMR. The one on the left aka bottom is the one I built for my 12 yo son and is a 16".

Lowers, uppers, barrels, twists, furniture, optics....

Those are really nice!

With that said and by comparison my post here has "performance issues" stamped all over it-- I have ordered a Sig P365. It may take 2-3 weeks to get here but the deed is done.

Great choice. I waited about a year and a half before I got one to allow the bugs to be worked out. Now all of that is old news, the P365 really has earned the label of 'game changer' imo. That was my last off-duty weapon and is now my main EDC pistol. Just can't beat the size, weight and capacity. I carry with a 12-round mag and a 12-round mag spare with either a 10-round or 15-round in my sling bag.

Great trigger, very accurate and I really like the Xray sights. Overall I have to give it high marks. I put a TLR-6 on mine as well, pics are in the 'Lighting' section of the board in the WML thread. When it gets to you, sound off on your thoughts.
A man cannot call himself peaceful if he is not capable of violence. If he's not capable of violence he isn't peaceful, he is harmless. There is a distinct difference.

Thanks! Yes, I have seen the pics and they are drool inducing. I have 2 12-round mags on order. Most likely I'll keep it lightless for the time being because I'll have to save up for a light-- but the TLR-6 looks custom made for this pistol. My expectation is that it'll take a couple of weeks to get here from PSA. It just dawned on me that this is my first 9mm anything in 29 years!

Took care of it for ya :)

A lot has changed in the 9mm landscape over the last several decades. I think you'll be well pleased. I still load mine with 124+P GD as I have a supply of them on hand from when it was issued. There are a lot of good 9mm rounds these days.
