Title: The Sig P365 gets a direct competitor...

I like the name.

I like that they seem to be partnering with Shield to push the RMSc, which will hopefully help with US market in-store availability. I like to handle optics before a purchase.

What do you think?

It's interesting. I'm not really a fan of the straight trigger. The tritium sights look very useful.

I swapped the factory straight trigger from the P365XL into my P365 after shooting the XL at my local range. I actually find the straight trigger in this specific case to fool my mind into the trigger feeling less mushy with an earlier break, which has resulted in better accuracy - no idea if it's actually a mechanical improvement or a placebo. Can't speak to how the Springfield trigger will feel. YMMV.

It is a great option for XD lovers who want a micro-compact.

Interesting that it isn't branded XD even though it obviously is an evolution of that line.
