I have had the P365 for a couple of weeks now and have around 200 rounds through it. I had a Shield 9mm but sold it; it was too hard for me to retract the Shield's slide, due to arthritis. The slide on the P365 is much easier to retract. The recoil on the P365 is a little harsher than that of...

M&P9c and, at times, G23 gen4

I've had good luck with Kramer's IWB holsters.

I put a CTC laser on mine; it has worked well for me (once I got the laser sighted in)

I initially bought a Shield, but the springs are too hard for my arthritic hands. I sold the Shield and bought a 9c. I liked the 9c so much that I bought a second one. I noticed no difference in carrying, but I'm fairly large (6'2" and 185 lb.).

I have the Glock 30. It's never given me any problems. I like it a lot, much more than its full-size brother, the Glock 21. Right now, the G30 is my backup/off-duty gun.

I believe that the early Glock patents have expired, leaving some doors open for downright imitations.

The 4040PD is a wonderful little gun. There have been several threads discussing it, so I suggest you search for these.

Don't hold your breath. The kook-to-normal ratio in California is much higher than in the rest of the world.

The CS series comes with Hogue rubber grips out of the box.

The 4040 PD does not fit all leather made for a 3913, but it fits all leather made for a 3513 NL or its equivalents. The reason is that some holsters, such as the Mitch Rosen Workman, are fitted for the profile of the front of the frame of the regular 3913.

Both are good guns. That said, the CS45 is too small for my hands and the current 4513TSW has a light rail. IMHO, a light rail is completely unnecessary on a concealment gun. My preference would be for an earlier 4513 thta does not have a light rail. I have the earliest model of the 4513...

Are you saying that females and adult males don't need guns with "bling factor"?

To further complicate matters, the 4513 (TSW, BTW) came in two versions. The original version had a 6-round magazine and a partly chopped grip. The later version (is the same size as the 4516 and 457 and) has a 7-round magazine.

I would prefer the 4040. The 4013/4014 is bigger (single stack but bigger frame if it's an old one and double stack if it's a newer one). I believe that it would be hard to find additional magazines for the single-stack 4013/4014. The 4040 is a .40 S&W version of the 3913NL but with a Hogue...
