P365 vs Shield In Lawton

[rc508pir]

Anyone in the Lawton area have a P365 that is willing to let my daughter shoot?

She currently has a Shield 9 but it really does a number on her wrists. Looking to possibly upgrade to a easier gun to shoot. Would like to do a side by side comparison.

Can't imagine a 365 would be easier on one's wrists. It's a tiny little thing and the recoil would be at least as bad as a Shield. That's my thinking anyway...

I would guess the same thing, but a lot of people are saying how much they love to shoot it

I've not shot a 365 but my Shield is one of my overall favorites with standard pressure 147 loads. When the 365 came out I recall a lot of squared away shooters saying they were really hard to hang onto and quite jumpy.

I have a shield and have shot a 365 and didn't notice much difference between the 2.The 365XL has less recoil to me.

I’ve shot both. I can’t recall a major difference. If a shield in 9mm is too much recoil it may be time to look at a bigger heavier 9mm or go .380 acp.

I’m assuming you have taught your daughter proper grip, stance, etc.?

Murfs shooting range in Duncan has a 365 she could rent to try it out first.I didn't see a 365XL though.

Gonna have to do a side by side to make a good decision about this.

Look at the shield EZ in 380 or 9mm. Designed with the more "mature" shooter Should translate into smaller folks as well. 380 EZ shot extremely soft.
