The P365 X-Series gives you a longer grip and slide than the original micro-compact, which makes it easier to shoot and still easy to carry. This Purple Rain edition is a 9mm in stainless steel with a purple accent that nobody will mistake for a standard model.

Many carriers like the X-Series because of its extra capacity and longer sight radius. It keeps the thin profile of the P365 line while giving a full grip for control.

A themed pistol like this one attracts attention, and some buyers want to keep a low profile when they carry. Think about whether the color matches how you plan to use the gun. It would make a fun range pistol or a gift for a shooter who wants something different from black. Buy a decent cleaning kit with it and keep the metal lightly oiled.

Run it through a range session to check feeding with your ammunition, and find a holster that fits the X-Series frame. This pistol is new. It ships to a North Carolina FFL dealer of your choice, where you finish the background check.
