Every optic-ready P365 accepts an RMSc-footprint optic, but Sig now machines the slide two different ways, and the Fuse throws a third variation into the mix. That affects which optics drop straight on, which ones need adapter plates, and what to look for when you pick a red dot for your P365.

A grain is just the unit we use to weigh a bullet, but the weight you pick changes where the gun shoots, how fast the bullet clears the barrel, and how it behaves in your hands. We run through the common 9mm factory weights from 50 grain up to 147 grain, what each one is actually built for, and why the same point of aim can land in five different spots on paper. There is no best grain weight, only the right one for the job, and whatever you load, your red dot is only zeroed for the round you sighted it with.
