Sadly my old go-to option is no longer in production, so when I switched to the P365xl, I had to start from scratch. Serendipitously, at this same time I was contacted by Craft Holsters with an offer to review a holster of my choosing*. So with nothing to lose, I opted for their lt.92 Fredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12141654754595945677noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4069865645245246238.post-51180727684206727682019-11-04T16:17:00.000-06:002019-11-05T09:54:44.320-06:00Sig P365XL - First mag review
A little while back Sig released the P365, a tiny micro 9 that somehow squeezed 10 rounds in a nearly pocket sized polymer gun.

To the point that she knows she can beat up on Simon with ease (or pin him down for forced grooming.)
She weighs as much as he does, but it's in a solid compact chunk of cat (mostly because of short himmy legs.)
