P365 SAS...No Current Manual? Login/Join

I was shocked when I picked up my new SAS that the manual included was for the standard 365. Even the online version on the Sig website is the old version. Anyone else?

I don't follow the P365 that much, but what might be a meaningful difference that the manual might not cover. as near as I can tell the SAS stuff is totally cosmetic...

I think with this one it's more than cosmetic. First off, there's the "no front sight" set-up. Then there's the porting, which might need a special mention or two. Last, there's the flush-mounted slide stop.

I think the 365 SAS needs its own manual. They're probably just a little slow getting it out.

I believe it does, especially concerning takedown. The manual that comes with it is for the original 365 with the disassembly lever. The SAS has a screw slot, which looks to me to be a pain. Then there is the almost non-existent slide stop and the new sights.

No you don't need a different manual.

1. Sight - Are you planning to swap it out? And, what instructions do you need to use this sight? Center the dot and shoot.

2. Slide catch - Was specifically mentioned in the SIG video that you will need to sling shot it. Using your thumb as usual is out of the question.

3. Takedown - How hard is it to use a flat headed screwdriver? Or a dime? Turn 90 degrees clockwise as usual and done.

4. Ported barrel - Someone mentioned this above. Really? You need a different manual for that?

You can turn the takedown "knob" with a shell case rim. Just make sure you turn it clockwise. Might get brass marks on it, but they clean off with bore solvent.
