The SIG ships with 2 10 round mags, one flush and one with a slight finger extension. The 12 round mags increased the grip for a full three finger grip possibility.

The SIG P365 is the first compact gun to interest me enough to consider replacing my Glock 26. The problem is I just don’t trust SIG not to use me as a beta tester and I don’t think it is worth the current price for a few extra rounds.
Not to mention, the lack of some type of inertia-prevention device on the trigger strikes me as a bad idea on a gun that might be pocket carried. |

I was visiting some family last week and he had just got his new Sig365. The gun felt great in the hand with the 12 round mags. I will likely wait till I can shoot one before I seriously think about getting one but WOW it felt great and the size was perfect for carry in my opinion.

So I heard there were rolling improvements on the gun and the big "made by date" to look for is June or July. Has any more been made since then or are all made after the June/July supposedly the same? I'm looking to grab one for Black Friday for around $420.

Mine is post June. For an update it now has about 300 rounds down the pipe. I just cant warm up t o it. Either giving it to a family member or trading it for something else. I have 6 handguns never considered getting rid of any of them. This will be my first. I just don't feel confident with it.
I do however love carrying my XDS 45. Fits my hand much better.

In looking at the way this pistol was introduced, small, 10 round magazine, good trigger, accurate.
Then the primer drag! That had to break the firing pin! How that could not have been seen during testing, and fixed, I do not know. A couple of triggers broke? Sig is a huge Company, been around for years, how could this happen? My Glock 19 is good enough for me. |

Finally had a chance to see how the p365 would fit me. Better trigger than my Kimber9. I would have bought the little SIG, but the rear of the base of the grip dug into the palm of my hand. Suspect it would break the skin when firing it. (Wimp Softy:-) Felt ok with 12 round mag. However, didn't feel like spending almost $50 to make the gun comfortable. Especially since I already have the Kimber9 and a Shield45 to carry. b/t/w, I find the Shield easier to control than the Kimber9.

If there is some anti- 365 comments here....
Did I mention that within the last two months, my family now owns two of these. Excellent size wise, and the fact it holds 10 or 12 rounds, in a package that's smaller than my 9mm Shield with its extended mag. What is really exceptional, is it's accuracy. I'd have never expected a semi-auto of this size, to do so well. I'm over 1500 rounds now, without any hint of failure. Mine is an Oct. 1 build. My wife is working on her round count too. In the meantime, she still carries her Glock 43. She wanted a 365 after shooting mine. |

I wouldn't. Sig is giganto but to have 'new models' with much advertised issues(P320 also)..and 'maybe' have them to not work perfectly for that 'shot'? no thanks. Between my son and I, we have owned or do own 9 Glocks..never have had any issue with any of them, ever..I know small sample size but still.

I love the pistol. I don’t have one yet but I will. I’m not a huge fan of striker fire pistols and I think a palm safety would top it off nicely. The sticker just feels like it doesn’t have much ass behind it but if it does, it does, you know? I give it two thumbs up in Z formation!!!

Since the P365 lacks either a trigger dingus or any sort of thumb/grip safety, how is drop safety accounted for? I believe that was the very issue with the P320's triggers having enough inertia to "pull themselves" when the gun was dropped facing upwards.
Also, the user manual is full of references to a thumb safety model. Is that just vaporware? I really like the gun. I've rented one twice and it shoots surprisingly well for such a small gun. On its own merits, and not just for the extra capacity, it's a very nice gun. I may get one. I'm just curious why it wouldn't have the same safety issues that its larger P320 siblings had. |

https://www.reddit.com/r/guns/commen...me_issues_the/ Look, if ya like it, it fits your hand well, go ahead and buy it, carry it, shoot it..the P365, and many many others, are fine choices. I'm not slamming this handgun, but again, was commenting on the gent who may not have 'confidence' in it.

At the end of the day, the positives far outweighed the negatives, especially with the factory changes and newer builds. That gave me enough confidence to buy one. Since that one has worked so well, and has the accuracy of my larger caliber, longer barreled semi's, I had no problem with my wife picking one up also. edit: well, not exactly the accuracy of some of my long barreled semi's, that are true target built guns. But still much better than some of my other mini lengths. |

To what I think may be your point: this gun seems to be optimized around the most likely scenario that someone would encounter *if* they ever had to defend themselves with a firearm. It makes use of the most widely used caliber in the world and can leverage some really impressive bullet designs of recent years for short-barreled 9mm pistols. It's small enough to be easily concealed and carried in almost any wardrobe. It's light and unobtrusive and won't punish you for carrying it, but has enough capacity that you don't ever need to feel under-prepared. Stats say that almost all defensive encounters happen at 15' or usually less, where a flash sight picture or none at all will be all you get. This gun gives you a bright neon yellow front sight that's quite easy to see even when you're looking at the target. You can add their instinctive laser sight to really rock the fast target acquisition especially in low light (after much training, I personally have come to think that a green laser sight is an ideal self defense tool at about 40' and under, which "should" handle almost any self defense situation. And should longer shots be required, the gun is perfectly capable of making them, so long as the shooter has trained with the challenges of making accurate shots with micro pistols. I don't have a P365 yet, but I soon may. Will I ever shoot as well with it as I do with my 5" barrel Walther PPQ Match? Probably not, but that's too big to carry. My usual carry is a CZ P-07 (about Glock 19 size). It's a formidable pistol, and I do carry it, but man, it starts feeling big and heavy after a few hours. So my usual carry is a Walther PPS with green laser. The Sig gives me almost the same capacity as my P-07, at the size of the PPS. What's not to love? And my rock-solid Walther just fell under a huge recall. Any company can have problems. |

Tiny, holds 11 rounds of 9mm and comes with night sights. It sounds like a great tool for concealed carry. If you want a weapon with “soul”, buy an Albion Viceroy.

"Impulse buy=Impulse sell".
My wife and I rented a 365 and it wasn't a good fit for her. There is NO CC platform semi that will feel "perfect" in the hand. The 365 felt the "best" in my wife's hand, but the 9mm had some elevated recoil that my wife was concerned about. My wife ended up choosing the Sig 238 in .380 for Carry. The Sig 238 in .380 was the perfect compromise of good feel and a smooth controllable shooter per my wife's feedback.

I'm very happy with my P365. I've only put about 300 rounds through it so far but I've had no problems of any kind. It is extremely accurate and has minimal recoil for a gun of it's size. I've been carrying a Kahr CM9 for several years. The Sig is just as easy to carry and having 4 more rounds in the same small package is comforting.

I got a P365 in October. After 450 rounds, still getting used to it. Never had a micro before & for me, it's gonna take more practice. Changed the front sight & added a Hogue grip cover which helped a lot.
