New Home Defense/EDC gun

[682SuperSport]

We have our custom 320 being built now. Can't wait.
Won't be a safe queen like my 250 45.
Mine is on the bottom far right View attachment 19666

That's gonna be a good looking gun, I saw a few of the FDE compacts and the coloration of the slide is pretty sweet, almost a bronze FDE but matches great with the frame and black components! Please post pics when you get it in hand!

^^^^^where are you having that work done?

@682SuperSport And @MilesTeg (I believe I've shown you this before) but red dots are not even the future of handguns and daily carry any more they are the now (compensators are the future imho) but here is something that might help with finding the dot.
My spare time used to be working on just drawing from concealment, now it's a mix between that and finding the red dot

Yes I did watch them when you linked them before. I did do the drills along with a lot of dry firing. I think this has helped a lot. One of the first things I bought for my gun was the suppressor height sights. I read a lot about needing these not just as a backup sight, but as guide to help you find the red dot. I only have about 300 rounds through mine so far so more practice is definitely needed.

Most good techniques just come with practice and repetition. I presume I'll be very comfortable with this gun with a few hundred more rounds and some dry firing practice like you have already been doing.

Also anyone with a P320 have any holster recommendations that they know will fit the RX version as well? Looking for an IWB and possibly an OWB for carry.

T.rex Arms

I was between them and G-Code holsters. I went with G-Code because I wanted to try their belt setup. I use an Alien gear for my G43 and like it.

Went to T.REX arms site and looking through their holster options. I like what they have for their options. Whats your take on the shirt guard with running an optic? What size guard is your preference?

What to you makes a handgun not boring?

 

[Defilade]

What to you makes a handgun not boring?

Because it fires every time even when dropped, Glock can't say that.

 

[682SuperSport]

Good thing Glock has never had an issue with a new generation, cough cough

If they made the grip on the compact frame shorter like the Glock 26 grip, I would buy one. I like that you could mess around with the frame (stippling, painting, ect) and it's no big deal if you screw up. You just buy another one. They are that cheap.

I would like to get an FDE frame to stipple and cerakote the stippling area black, I like the look of it and have seen several nice examples done by revolution concepts. Another nice option with the P320c is you can still get a subcompact frame to have a smaller package for carry also.

I don't rock a sweat guard, undershirt works just fine for me. I'm looking at going to their raptor holster vs the sidecar (I have 2 love them)

I would go full sweat guard. My 229 has a mid guard and if you don't wear a undershirt it can pinch the crap out of your skin when reholstering. JMO. My p30sk full guard Perfect!

I'm not sure if he can use a sweat guard with the red dot. OP if you do want a sweat guard you might was to contact the holster manufacturer and see what they say.

Sweat guard shouldn't be an issue with an optic

Here is a T.rex Arms sidecar with what looks like a high sweat guard (not recommended per site) and looks to be optic cut as well




Here is a better pic showing two holsters with their RD pistols

Nice rig, and extremely concealable! I'm not sure how I would fair carrying appendix though as I carry more weight in the front than you. I may start off with a nomad holster that can be moved to appendix or 3-6 o'clock and see what works best and if appendix works then I'll make the step up to the raptor.

TREX arms has an option to have an optic cut on the holster so I think even with a high sweat guard it would still work. Though I looked through the FAQ's and they recommend a mid guard which is what I'll go with.

Thanks again for the help and recommendation! Watched quite a few youtube videos and read reviews on TREX holsters after your recommendation. I caved and went with the Raptor model to use for both AIWB and IWB 3-6 o'clock. Better to cringe once and get what'll serve you well than do it twice.

 

[MilesTeg]

Looking forward to your write up!

Glad to hear, I have 2 friends that got the raptor and love it, I myself am saving up to get one (but I first need to get a surefire x300u and also see if they can work in the DG switch as well, since they don't make one for CZ I hear the M&P one works) then get a new spare mag holster, both would still be worn appendix but I feel like the two seperate will give me more adjustment to work with depending on what I wear eaxh day

(Also when you do go to appendix, the raptor claw really does help so much)

I decided to go with the Raptor over the nomad because of the claw. I saw several reviews that said the claw helps keep the gun in tight for both appendix and 3-6 o'clock carry. Only a 2-4 week wait time for custom kydex didn't seem bad at all to me either.

I'm a big fan of Blackpoint Tactical. I've bought 3 of their holsters already. The last was for my CZ P10 C

DualPoint™ AIWB Holster - BlackPoint Tactical

 

[682SuperSport]

Looks like a quality product with a lot of options, I will definitely keep that one in mind in the future!

The cool part about the claw Is you can take it off if you want so only real advantage the nomad offers would be slight cost, but at that point why lol.

And damn 2-4 weeks, my first sidecar (for my CZ, it's how I found out about t.rex) took 6 weeks then my second one for a glock (done in all white) took 9 weeks

I'm hoping it comes closer to 2, I really want to start carrying this thing and practicing some draws from concealment. Do you remember what their estimated lead times were at the time when you ordered?
