G48 MOS vs P356 X Macro vs Shield Plus?

[packy14]

I have both G43X (shorter G48) and Sig P365X on my CCW. In the summer I carry the Sig. Smaller and easier to conceal for me with summer close. Winter the G43X. I have a box full of holsters that do not work for either from the major brands to the gimmicky belly bands and Vanish. I must have ~20 or so.

I carry the Sig P365 more than the G43x and it conceals better and more comfortable for me. I'm 5'7" 195 so a short stocky dude.

I now only have two holsters for each that work amazingly for me.

• Stealthgear Ventcore 2.0 - Super comfy and holds the gun secure. I carry at 3:30
  • Stealthgear
• Bravo Concealment - I know I know some will laugh, but I have both an IWB and OWB for each gun. Super simple and holds well.
  • Bravo Concealment

Maybe get a G43(x) slide for you G48 and have the best of both worlds.

I carried in stealth gear for years… but loving blackpoint tactical miniwing. Also feel more secure in full kydex. I too have a box full of holsters, I think it just happens I have at least 15, including my prior daily stealthgear (at least I used it for years before it entered the drawer..

I like the G26.5 with an Pearce pinky extension over all those. It shoots as well as a G19 but conceals better. The width doesn’t bother me at all, I just leave the belt a little wider and it feels so much better in the hand than the skinny grips of the ones named. Depends on hand size I guess.

Xmacro is bigger then a 43. And aboutbthe same on a43x. However i shot a 43x with the ran jet and still think my Xmacro comp shot softer. Id shoot all the gun you can then make your choicenthe Xmacro and 43x smaller then a g19. Im 6'2 240 carry a xmacro trl7 sub eps carry daily coming from the shield 1.0 eps carry no light. And i was not a fan on a light on my ccw make it a wider csrry but love the p365 trl7 setup.

I have the P365 XMacro and the Shield Plus, which I bought at the same time.

When I can't decide between 2 guns, I buy them both, own them for a while and sell one (or both) if I don't like it.

In this case, I ended up keeping BOTH pistols, as I really liked both of them. They are great, modern carry guns, and have very good triggers, capacity and functions for the purposes of carry, size, concealment... and easy CA/Agency compliance.

I keep them both stock, and practice a lot with them, as they are my primary carry guns now, having replaced older generations of common carry guns.

Sure there are some small differences between the 2, but I don't like to over-think things. I rely instead on how much practice I have for that particular weapon. I can interchange between these 2 pistols, without any issue at all. I shoot and carry them both with the same results and satisfaction.

You really can't go wrong with either gun.

With all that said, if I absolutely had to choose only ***ONE*** I'll go with the XMacro due to larger capacity, and I personally like the grip better. I can also easily stick a light on it, if need be.

Hope that helps, best of luck.
