Yup, I carry standard pressure 124gr HST...
They're not on Doc's list but, if I read between the
lines correctly, they're a pretty damn close runner up.
They seem to be a little more consistent / accurate
than 147's in my 365 & XL, could just be me but...
I also figure ammo' s pretty pricey and 147's can be
scarce so I try and run hotter range ammo that runs
pretty much the same POA / POI as the std pressure
124 HST.
A little across the board consistency gives me a bit
more confidence in POI without burning through 147's
or +P' s and the std pressure 124's seem more available.
It took me a second to find it, but this thread below is how I came onto selecting the GD115s for the P365.

I recall Doc saying the 124 was ok, the +p was just more better? I bought my stash of 147 HST/GD+p's in October 2020. If I need more SD ammo (and I have been burning through it, vetting the last few self-defense pistols, grrr) I will most likely look at Federal HST standard pressure 124 for a renewal. Trying to find in stock 147 HST or GD 124+p has been hit or miss lately (maybe it's getting better, I dunno) but it did seem like 124 standard was always easier to locate. And while the 124+p runs in my P365x, having a standard load that's less snappy and matches (bullet wise anyway) my preferred range ammo (AE 124 FMJ) seems like a good thing. Then I can just order enough for the next few years, stop worrying about ammo selection and get on with working on shot placement. (I'm sure I've heard that somewhere...)
Interesting on hand size...I'd not really thought about it but it may be why the X grip suits my M hands well, I have a fair bit of room for my support hand:
Not to get into the weeds of a grip discussion, but I may try that front to back thing @GJM mentioned above next range session; seems like that has come up before; maybe sourced to the TPC / Ken Nelson / "pliable grip" subject that I recall watching a few videos about...
Yep, for example, my middle finger touches the pad of my thumb! I’ll keep an eye out for an option in the future, but for now I’ll have to stick to my G26.5 for carry. Your hand size is likely why the G26 didn’t feel comfortable for you.
The razorback is interesting, I just can’t justify the price.. maybe I can melt some plastic to it and hide it with a talon grip.
My other issue is the manual safety. It’s too far back and it cuts the hell out of my inner thumb. We need an updated version of it or an aftermarket safety that addresses the position. I’d go without one (which I’d prefer), but I don’t feel comfortable carrying that way AIWB.
