New 365 looks like! P365x macro

[GJM]

Interested to hear what you think. I like the idea of more room for my support hand, but personally I can't look at pictures and understand how it wouldn't change my index

1) the FDEZ-3 does not change the grip angle for me compared to a factory medium.

2) dry firing, I like it as it gives me more real estate for my support hand.

3) I am just back from live firing it. I set up a few drills, drawing to a two inch square, shooting three progressively smaller circles on a Max Michel target, and doing some doubles to assess splitting ability.

On the first two drills, even though the gun felt different with the hump of the -3, I didn't note a measurable difference in my performance. In the doubles, I was measurably faster with the OEM medium installed. In addition, the bottom of the hump started to hurt the base of my palm on my strong hand.

So considering the shooting results and the pain, I am sticking with the factory back strap.

Think the FDEZ-2 would eliminate the hotspot?

There are some mentions of macro modules cut to xl or x length. Has anyone tried a cut macro and liked it less?

I am not sure, but I am so happy with how the regular macro grip module works for me that I am reluctant to invest more time and money messing around.

I love the FDEZ #3 and prefer it over the Macro OEM backstraps, I guess a lot depend on your hand size and your overall grip preference. Different strokes for different folks and having more options can be a good thing for some people.

Re: the discussion back on p.100 about torque wrenches for low settings.

I bought a FIRSTINFO torque screwdriver that has a range of 2-12 in-lbs, and which has worked great so far for those fasteners that are in that range (such as a zero hold).

If you get a full grip on an xl frame imo you will like it more

If your hands are bigger than the xl.frame I can see why it may be an issue

That is the beauty of the back straps, we are ability to easily change the size and shape of the grip module to get what works best for our hands.

thanks for the info on taking off the optic (ROMEO-X).

The left screw was TIGHT however the right screw was just snug.

The extractor roll pin was high and marked up the bottom of the optic.

I will tap it flush.







fixed



and made sure it did not interfere with the slide rail.

YVK and I were discussing 365 barrels and velocity, and I agreed to use my new Garmin chrono to check velocities with 124 Lawman and 124+P Gold Dot. Here is what I got, at about 700 feet above sea level on a 60F day, for a three shot average with each load.

3.7 XL length barrel
124 Lawman 1,105 fps
124 Gold Dot (all Gold Dot was +P) 1,145 fps

3.1 OEM barrel
124 Lawman 1,057 fps
124 Gold Dot 1,079

PMM barrel and comp that is same overall length as an XL
124 Lawman 1,055 fps
124 Gold dot 1,104 fps

Anyone have thoughts on these velocities and Gold Dot performance, and is there any meaningful difference within this velocity envelope?
