Anybody handle the Sig P365

[340pd]

So much for the devil on my shoulder. I just put my name on the list (#24) and money down on one at my local LGS who has already sold a half dozen of them.. $515 + tax. Not the greatest price but I do make every effort to support local sellers.

I've done that a few times myself. But honey I have this holster/ammo/accessories for this gun, I'd be a fool not to buy one.

Sometimes it works often time not. Maybe only 28 percent success.

I'm anxious to hold one of these P365's but for some reason looking at the pictures it just screams S&W Sigma and I wasn't fond of them.
This one sounds a whole lot better, just need to wrap my head around the look and clear the nightmares from the cobwebs of my head.

I never owned a Sigma, I am rather proud of that.

A voice of sanity in the P365 frenzy. Should be ashamed of yerself.

By gawd, I think that's about the nicest thing anybody ever said to me.

Sanity and bawanna don't rightly belong in the same sentence but it makes me feel warm and fuzzy just the same.

No, I'm not interested in one. I already have better 9mm's.

Not sure how you can pre-judge a pistol that has at the time of the original post not been released yet.
And "better" is subjective not objective.

Thanks though for your input. Noted.

aaannnnnnnnnddddddd the beta testers are reporting in - er, I mean the first adopters Sig is using as Beta testers, and by all accounts, (sadly) The 365 is not for the number if days to carry but the number of failures per 1000 rounds fired.

Failures to feed
Failures to go back in to battery
Broken firing pins
Mushrooming barrels
Miss alignment of barrel to slide shredding aluminum
Weak striker springs


ALL of these issues have necessitated two separate rounds of "return for repair" though Sig is QUICK to not call them
"recalls" bit repairs, all new firearms have growing pains, but after the P320 fiasco, Sig did not need this next bloody nose.

I've dropped all my enthusiasm for this gun until 2019 now, let those that have them be the Guinea pigs for Sig - I hope they get your growing pains sorted out.
I was SO excited for this to be the replacement for my 442 and XDs - but no longer.

In a way CPTKILLER was right, he already does have better 9mm's

I found one at BassPro on Monday. Took it to the range for the first time today. Have to say, I'm very impressed. Almost exactly the same size as my PM9, fits the Nemesis I have for the PM9. 150+ rounds at 8yds yielded good results. It has the same trigger feel as the P320. It'll have to prove itself much longer term before it replaces the PM9 in my pocket, however. But so far so good. Not one hiccough.

Nice and good shooting. I'm still wanting one and there is a gun show this weekend. May I'll see one and be able to handle it.

I was really interested in one until I started reading about all the issues....I pocket carry so weight with 11 rounds might get to be too much...A couple years ago I traded my PM9 for a Sig 290RS which shot good and was the right size but that thing was soooo heavy in the pocket so I gave up and went back to a Smith 642 snub and traded the Sig for a full size M&P .40 which I didn't like much and couldn't shoot well so I traded it for a full size M&P .45 which was good for a while but not really good for CCW so traded it for a .45 Shield which worked ok but I just couldn't get used to IWB carry so after spending a ton on different IWB holsters I have now gone back to the future and traded the Shield for a Kahr PM9 DLC finish with night sights that I pick up tomorrow so I'm right back to where I started.....I know, it's a sickness....Guess that's why my nick name from Papa was always "New Moon" as in not so bright....

Oh how I can relate to that merry go round. I've been looking at a cw9 w/ dlc finish recently. 7+1 and a spare mag and I'd be ready.

Sounds like a bad case of grass is always greener gone seriously south...

But I do understand. My usual concealed carry, with thought, handguns are lw 3.5" barrel 1911/PM9/Sig 238/Smith 442/NAA .22mag mini. My no thought, just clip on and go/scoot out the door, arm has circled back to my decades old favorite 442 J-frame.

Sig - Please Return to W Germany

I hope this gun works out for you.
Have four Sig guns that I love and will keep forever.
But their latest beavertail, rail, strange color stuff is off putting.
Worse yet drop test fails.
Finally reports of deteriorated quality control has led me to steer clear of that manufacturer altogether.

Again, wish you the best of luck and hope it works out for you

Except the CW9 doesn't come with a DLC finish. Gotta be a P9.

I've managed to resist the P365 frenzy Ok so far.

I'm pretty happy with my micro 9mm Kahrs for deep concealment carry, and if I'm gonna carry OWB, it's gonna be something larger.

It'll be 10+1 capacity with a 14 round spare mag. A nice leather holster with a leather mag pouch on the support hand side. Very comfortable, yet concealable. Night sights, accurate, and very reliable. Can use my other CZ mags at the range - load 'em all up at home, and not waste time loading at the range.

yqtszhj + RAMI = happiness.

MK40 Elite continues to be my go to Kahr.
Will not stop dreaming of a K45

Correct, don't know what I was thinking, it's going for $410 today.

Yep, it's still on the list. I've passed twice this year so far, once for the HK P30 and cant remember what the other one was, probably a bill that came in.

[Slugnutty]

Got to hold a P365 today - and as much as I was looking forward to holding one in person, it did not elicit the TAKE MY CREDIT CARD NOOOOWWWWWWWW response like it did when I read about them pre-shot show.
While the P938 DOES still give me that OOOHHHHH I need to own you feeling - the temptation is getting hard to resist the P938.
