What's your smallest CCW?

I can’t imagine wanting anything smaller than a standard p365. I even got the WC XL grip on mine and it conceals just as well with a t-shirt and basketball shorts.
 
Sig P365. If defies physics. Less recoil than a G19 and I can get a full grip on it (which I can’t on a G26). I love the P365.

Agree I get a better grip on the standard p365 than a G26 (10x with the XL grip module as it gets your pinky on the grip WAY better than a g26 mag extension) but I don’t think there’s any way the sig has less recoil than a G19. I love mine, but that’s a stretch. I don’t have the comp though so I could see a that closing the gap…

I have small hands and the base P365 is still too small

Absolutely has more recoil than a Glock 19 lmfao
 
Yeah with that it’s similar to my shield with the extension mag which is perfect for a small gun.
It’s not even just the grip extension for the pinky, the WC grip also adds the perfect amount of thickness in addition to really ergonomic finger grooves on the support hand side, which is really unusual but I love them. Way better than the stock grip module

No comp on mine. I’ve shot the P365 and G19 back to back multiple times and I can’t tell the difference. Maybe it has to do with how the P365 fits my hand or is sprung. I had expected the P365 to be unpleasant to shoot and was really shocked by its lack of recoil. I know this makes no sense and hence why I say it defies physics.

Fair, I won’t discount your subjective experience, there are a lot of factors including hand shape/size. For me, the p365 is great but a g19 is definitely easier to shoot
 
LCP max w/viridian green laser/iwb holster combo. I also have XS big dot iron sights on it. Laser is zero'd to 9y.
 
Ruger max 9 with pinky extension and hogue grip to fatten it up a bit . Carry it mostly appendix but it can flex in a pocket carry scenario depending on the pants /shorts.
