Interesting. I wonder how well it will do? It seems they are pushing it for it's "softer shooting".
I realize I recently started a thread regarding my interest in the new P365XL with the internal comp, but honestly, the recoil in the standard XL at least, is not all that bad. I'm not at all sure that it's even snappier than my FNX9.
I could feel the difference between practice ammo and self defense ammo, but I didn't consider the recoil too harsh especially with the XL. Everyone is different though. A of people like the S&W EZ pistols which are a bit easier to load and shoot.
Personally, I like the S&W Shield plus a little better just because it has a fuller grip that I am more confident using. However, it approaches the size of the larger compact 9mm pistols.
That said, I am patiently waiting to see gel testing and such with 30 super carry to see just how it stacks up against 380 and 9mm. I doubt I will get one. If one of my pistols can use it with just a new barrel and magazine, that might change my mind.
