Here is a P365 with three things a lot of carriers ask for: an optic-ready slide, a manual safety, and a 10+1 capacity. It is a 9mm with a 3.10" barrel and a Nitron finish, listed under part number 365380BSSMSMA. If you decide to add a red dot later, pick one that matches the slide cut, and zero it at the range before you rely on it.

The 10+1 capacity matches the magazine size many people choose. The manual safety gives you another control to master. Some find that comforting, some find it slows the draw. Practice will tell you. Many North Carolina permit holders spend more on training than on the gun, and that is money well spent.

Nitron is SIG's corrosion-resistant finish, and it handles sweat and holster wear well. A pistol that sits against your skin in a North Carolina summer needs a finish like that.

A 3.10" barrel is at the shorter end of carry length. It hides easily under clothing.

Carry the pistol the way you plan to train with it. New. It ships to a North Carolina FFL dealer for pickup and the background check.
