Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between the Glock 48 and P365 XL for concealed carry?

The primary difference lies in their grip shape. The Glock 48 has a thicker, blockier grip that enhances shooting comfort and recoil management but is harder to conceal. The P365 XL features a more organic, curved grip that is significantly easier to conceal by printing less against clothing.

Which handgun is more comfortable to shoot, the Glock 48 or P365 XL?

The Glock 48 is generally considered more comfortable to shoot due to its grip filling the hand more completely front-to-back, which aids in recoil management. The P365 XL, while more concealable, can feel 'snappier' because its grip is slightly shorter front-to-back, potentially leaving a portion of the hand unsupported.

Why is the P365 XL easier to conceal than the Glock 48?

The P365 XL is easier to conceal because its grip has a more organic, curved profile that blends better with body shapes. It also lacks the sharp edges and pronounced magazine overhang found on the Glock 48, which are more prone to printing through clothing.

Can the P365 XL's shooting comfort be improved for concealed carry?

Yes, the P365 XL's shooting comfort can be improved with aftermarket grip modules. These modules can add thickness and features like a small bump to better fill the hand, enhancing grip and recoil management without significantly compromising concealability, provided they maintain a radiused edge.

What are the trade-offs when choosing between the Glock 48 and P365 XL for EDC?

The trade-off is primarily between shootability and concealability. The Glock 48 offers superior shooting comfort but is harder to conceal. The P365 XL is much easier to conceal but may sacrifice some shooting comfort. Personal priorities dictate which factor is more important.
