SIG 365

[eskimo36]

I picked up this little SIG yesterday to replace my Kimber Micro 9. Arthritis in my thumb was starting to spook me with the Kimbers tiny hammer. The SIG feels good in the hand, has a 10 round magazine and is smaller than a Glock 43. Any body here have one or shot one? Your thoughts?

Haven't had or shot one. If they have a compact light that fits on it. It would be pretty great. There are a number of you tube vids on this gun. Seems to be real good.

Have had one for a while, very accurate and no hic-cups. You can get a 12 round mag also.

We have one as a rental gun on the range. Get shot extensively pretty much every day and has proven to be a tough reliable little gun. We run the 12 round magazine in ours.

The flat based 10 round is perfect for me and slips right in a front pocket. Recoil isn't bad for as small as it is and it's a shooter. 10 rounds in a package smaller than a j frame is hard to argue with.

I got one a few months back and have been most pleased with it.

I have had little interest with the tactical Tupperware guns by and large, although as popular as they are I have been pondering getting one or two for a while. I kept looking at the S&W Shield, Glock 43, Kahr and the Ruger LCP and they all left me somewhat cold. The Glock and Smith for me were head and tails above the others but either of them would have required swapping sights and triggers to make them bearable in my never humble opinion and ultimately unpurchased.

A phone call with Zeus had him casually mention how impressed he was with the P365 so I looked one over at the local pushers shop and I had to have one. Good sights, a very manageable trigger, 10 rounds in a package smaller than a Glock 43 it was hard to argue. That and I had over $300 in gift cards to Cabelas so it was an easy buy. Barranti made me a custom in the pant holster for it and a spare mag carrier, 2 12 round mags were ordered and I am a happy boy.

I only have 300 or so rounds through it so far, the only 2 complains I have are the magazines are stiff little boogers to load, especially on cold winter days. And the magazine release is a bit tricky, usable but the magazines dont eject like a good 1911 mag will. BUt certainly things I can deal with.

It has become my everyday carry gun, I have a mag carrier but generally drop a 12 rounder in my left front pocket, and the gun just disappears on my hip. Under 23oz fully loaded whats not to like? That and it shoots soft, holding semi rapid fire 2" groups at 7 yards is easy, 8" gongs at 25 yards are easy peasy. Id like the bullets to hit a bit higher for me than they do, the standard 115gr loads hit right behind the dot on the front sight at 10 yards, Id personally prefer they hit on top of the front sight but for a fighting gun they will do fine.

Other than getting over my anti 9mm hand up I have very little to critique about this gun.

I have had one for over a year now. It has replaced my other carry guns. I carry it with the 12 round magazine and one in the chamber. I carry a spare 12 round mag. on my belt. That's 25 rounds in a very small package. The gun shoot's like a full size gun and is very accurate and reliable. I use my own powder coated cast bullets for practice.

I love mine. I picked it up not too long ago and shot it a good amount. No failures at all. It's quite accurate at 5,7 and 10 yards, and I was able to hit consistently and quickly at 25 yards, shooting with either 10 round or the 12 round.

I wouldn't second guess purchasing it again, I wish I waited a few weeks for the one with the manual safety, but I'm extremely pleased anyways.

I have "big" hands, mostly long not so meaty and I dwarf the size of the gun, with that being said I ride the slide lock pretty hard and I've never had it lock open on last round, but everyone else who has shot it has had it lock open on last round, so I chalked it up just to how I shoot.

[rangersedge]

I have had one for quite a while also. Told local FFL he could shoot it and let some others shoot it while he had it. He did. His mother and aunt did. He ordered more to replace his Glock 43, his mom's S&W Shield (with Apex parts), and his aunt's Walther.

I have the NRA edition on order for a spare.

They recently started distributing one with manual safety and announced an XL edition which is slightly taller and longer with 12 round standard and 15 round available magazines.

They strike me as a good option for concealed carry.

Have had mine for about 10 months gun is great shooter very accurate and has feed everything I have put thru it. Have the flat base 10 rd mag,the little finger 10 rd mags and the 12 round mags all work . Have been carrying in the sig iWeb holster and it was ok , but just received a Simply Rugged Cuda holster for it and it is perfect. By the way I received a email from sig the other Day announcing a 15 rd magazine.

I had one. Bought the G43 first and kept it. Only sold the P365 because I was out of work. I like everything better about the 365 except, in my personal view, the 43 handles +P ammo much better. Specifically, the Federal HST 124 gr +P.

I do plan to replace the little P365. But I plan to shoot standard pressure ammo through mine.

As stated, it fits perfectly in a front pocket holster. I use the DeSantis superfly and it works great.

Just wondering, what did you notice about about the HST ammo in the 365? Mine handles it great in comparison to the other guns I've shot it in.

Recoil was very pronounced compared to the 43, flattened and smeared primers. The ammo felt overall like it was too much for the gun. Your gun may handle it well, mine did not.

I switched to the old 115 grain Federal load previously used by Portland PB (9BP; not the +P+ 9BPLE) for use in my P365 and it ran better, with no flattened primers.

[coldtriggerfinger]

Imho that's a good choice.
I've gotten to where I don't overdo autoloaders. As long as they run good with some appropriate ammo. I call er good. I used to load em up. But had some bad results.

[eskimo36]

I have always shot the 147 gr hollow points in my little nines with out any issues.
