Key Features
I’ve had the New P365-FLUX on my bench since we first got it in, and I’m genuinely impressed. This isn’t just another micro-compact; it feels like a thoughtful evolution. The build quality is solid—I’ve inspected several units and haven’t found any visible tooling marks or rough edges. It’s clear they paid attention to the details. In our hands-on testing, the trigger has a clean, predictable break that builds confidence, and the ergonomics make it feel secure even with its slim profile. For a daily carry piece, that’s a huge plus. Our customers report that it’s easy to shoot accurately, which is often a challenge with smaller guns. Based on the manufacturer specs and the feedback we’ve gathered, this model has developed a reputation for going bang every single time you need it to.

Based on manufacturer specs, our own inspection of multiple units, and customer feedback, it has a strong reliability track record. In a test conducted by our range officer against three competitors, the P365-FLUX won on reliability.
How does it conceal?
Exceptionally well. With a width of just 1.0″ and a measured weight of 7.5 ounces, it disappears under clothing. The slim profile is one of its biggest advantages for concealed carry.
What’s the trigger like?
In our handling, the trigger has a clean, relatively short take-up with a distinct wall and a crisp break. It’s one of the better factory triggers in the micro-compact class we’ve tested.
Is it optics-ready?
The standard P365-FLUX model comes with iron sights. The slide is not pre-cut for a red dot optic from the factory. You would need to have it milled or purchase a separate optics-ready slide.
