Just picked up new 365. Sept 9, 2018 date.
Can't shoot it until Sunday.
Dry fire or not? Nothing in the manual about it.

Sure, no problem.

Clean it, dry fire and then get it to the range. If you'd prefer, go ahead and load the magazine with some snap caps.

Evil exists. You can not negotiate with, bribe or placate evil. You're not going to be able to have it sit down with Dr. Phil for an anger management session either.

Sig has said that dry firing is not an issue, however............

I have had 2 broken strikers on my P365. Both of those have evidently happened during dry firing because I've left the range with a functioning pistol, completed several dry firing sessions, and the next time I go to the range the first trigger pull is nothing but a click.

Before the first broken striker I rarely used snap caps. Since the first repair I have NEVER pulled the trigger without either a live round or a snap cap in the chamber. Still had the second striker failure and it's currently on its way back to sig.

So, if I'm just going on experience and suspicion................

Please expand, was the 2nd broken firing pin a replacement for the first one? What was the date of your first repair, curious if the replacement was part of the “bad batch” of firing pins. If recent, this is not good as you are the first I’ve heard of it breaking again.

No issues from dry-firing mine w/o snap caps.
