Sig P365... it’s true what they say

[yqtszhj]

Well.... I can say I’m amazed. It’s true what they say about the P365. I had the opportunity to handle one yesterday and couldn’t leave without it.

The the slide is the same width as a cm9 (.90 in.) and the frame is a tad thinner (.02 in.) as the Kahr frame bulges a little. Other dimensions with a mag in the pistol are so close it’s not worth mentioning any difference. Grip is excellent. Weight it slightly heavier by about 2 oz. more with an empty mag. If this thing runs good and holds up to shooting like my Kahr I’ll be without words...

Welcome to the club. It is a very, very interesting firearm. Try it in your PM9 holsters. It fits perfectly in every one of mine.

I hear the trigger is similar to a Kahr.

Maybe NOW Justin will start thinking about a double stack? Hmm???

Like yqtszhj said the P365 is virtually the sane as the cm9,pm9 and the MK9. I got my P365 yesterday and I am on my way to shot it now. I measured the p365 against the MX9 and the triggers are almost identical as far as position and length of pull. I took my MK9 out of it's holster (Garret Silent Thunder) and am using the holster to carry the P365. Fit is almost exact too. I will see how close the triggers are compared for pull weight. More later.

Yep, it’s incredible it fits them all, even the kydex. I actually have an older stiff leather holster for the cm9 and the Sig is looser than the Kahr.

I’m thinking about getting one of these:

Need to get me a DeSantis Nemmis dedicated to this too for pocket carry. It deserves its own holsters. If it wasn’t for mowing the grass I could have shot it today.

Here’s the worst part. When I brought it home yesterday the wife saw it and said I should have got 2 of them. I tried to get her to go with me but she didn’t. I can see now if she shoots it and likes it I’ve lost it as supply has all dried up again....

The trigger to me seems like a cross between a XD and a glock. The sights are nice. The front sight jumps out at you.

I've got the hots for one of these bad...Still haven't been able to find one to check out yet...My only reservations are about the problems they had at first but it seems they have those issues under control...I pocket carry and was wondering about the width at the bottom of the magazine that prints in jeans, is it much wider there than a PM9?....As much as I love my PM9 I really like having more ammo in the gun ready to go rather than possibly having to fumble with a reload....All in all this seems like the best of both worlds with size vs ammo capacity....Hope to fondle one soon..

Someone needs to buy a couple and move to California. After they get here, hopefully they won't find use for two and decide to sell one.....to me.

Back from shooting my P365, only 50 rounds today. No failures of any kind, tight targets and a trigger that I like. In my opinion my MK9 and the P365 both have light triggers, which I like. The difference I noticed is the Kahr has a light pull all the way through. Makes a question of exactly when it is going to release. The Sig has a slack take up until it gets to the release spot which is a definite release and you know when it's going to happen.

They are sweet little guns. I have two, but don't plan on moving to California...

..I pocket carry and was wondering about the width at the bottom of the magazine that prints in jeans, is it much wider there than a PM9?..

Bottom of grip/mag measurements
Side to side:
cm9/pm9 = .90 in.
P360 = .98 in.

Front to rear
cm9/pm9 = 1.91 in.
P380 = 1.73 in.

I was thinking about one, but decided I didn't want a SIG without a hammer or the DA/SA trigger.

Looks like a nice gun. I would be interested to see how well these magazines workout down the road, cost, availability etc. This gun is unique in the fact it was developed around a magazine. Personally I am not interested in the higher capacity mags. Most small compact guns come with 7 or 8 round mags anyway. And the idea is to cut down on weight. JMO
Personally I would prefer it with out the bulky slide lock which is totally unnecessary to begin with. Nor is it the correct way. A snag free design on a small-sub compact is more desirable.

"As with any gun of this type, it doesn’t take much to engage the slide lock/release during a multi-shot string, and the most common side effect is a failure of the gun to lock open on an empty magazine. The P365’s slide lock can also be pressed upward, causing additional friction as the slide reciprocates and, in the worst case, can prevent the slide from returning fully to battery, resulting in failures to fire and identifiable by light primer strikes. The bottom line, in my opinion, is that the P365 definitely requires training and practice to perfect its use. Worst than a desire to have a safety on a carry gun. NRA review
I do like the night sights and the trigger at 5.5-6lbs is better for fast action shooting combined with CCW than many of the striker fired Glass break triggers out there. From some of the descriptions, it does appear to more of a double action. Hopefully so.

If I would get one, I would most definitely wait a year rather than buy new run guns. I learned the lesson to have patience a long time ago. Also they plan on making the gun a Modular grip design in the near future. (late Spring). Having owned modular pistols, I do not want to go back without them. I think you will see in the future more gun with this design. Obviously Sig see's it as well.
That would IMO be a big bonus.

Waiting patiently for the range report from yqtszhj.

My local indoor range has a P365 available to rent as well. Next range trip, I'm gonna try it out.

I'm running out of excuses to not buy one. A thumbs up from my personal gun purchase adviser will push me over the edge....
