I'm a lefty self protector who has become a fan of the paddle mag release. I like the size and capacity of my 365 okay, and I 100% drink the Kool-Aid on optic sights. I have a trijicon and Holoson
What are your recommendations for lefty concealed paddle release sidearms? (Not too picky about budget; although I do love saving money IF it's quality.)

Give the Heckler & Koch VP9 a look, slide lock on both sides and has the paddle. You can get it optic cut or even get it with a Holosun mounted at slide height sights from the factory. And if you want a smaller format, VPK SK is their carry version, but I carry the full size and feel like it doesn't take up any more space than the SK did.

Most of the ASP team was shooting HK products prior to them asking us to be brand ambassadors for them so I'll start there. The full sized VP9 and P30's are what most of us carry but there is also the SK line for both models that make them a bit smaller.

Straight up look seriously at the VP9sk. My wife and switched from the 365 to the VP9’s hers is an SK and have not regretted the move at all.

I, too, have become addicted to the paddle release; this likely locks me in as an HK customer, for better or for worse. Currently running P30L in deeeeeeep appendix carry.
