I credit much of this to the improved trigger, but the Romeo Zero red dot didn’t hurt either. Even so, I was shooting the P365X better almost immediately. That said, I’ve had more time with the original and have shot probably north of several hundred rounds at this point – compared to only 100 or so with the P365X. Its clear to me that the combination of the X-series trigger and Romeo Zero optic are adding up to tighten those groups on the P365X.

While there is nothing wrong with the original P365 trigger, it’s certainly more than capable for concealed carry work, I didn’t find it nearly as enjoyable as the P365X.Ĭertainly there are better and more capable shooters out there but all things considered I'm pretty happy with my groups here at 25 feet. I think this, paired with the advantage of having a nice red-dot optic up top, played into the P365X being more accurate for me. I found that the biggest difference, minus the fact that the P365X has the Romeo Zero attached up top, is in the trigger. Range Time, Putting Them Through the Paces The two other big noticeable differences are that the P365X comes red-dot ready and has the X-series trigger. So, if you’re a sucker for a carry gun being as short as possible, then stick to the original. This adds half an inch to the frame height of the P365X.

This gives the gun the same frame size as the P365XL, while keeping the slide length the same as the OG P365. Where the original P365 has a true micro-compact grip and frame, the P365X “bulks up” the frame. The P365X (right) has a grip that fixes that problem for me. The original P365 (left) with only a 10 round magazine leaves a little less purchase room for the pinky finger, especially if you're someone with larger hands.
