365 SAS Sights

I like them but not as much as regular iron sights. I’ve used iron sights my whole life and the meprolite sight only a few months. It is accurate enough for self defense but I wouldn’t try to do any precision shooting with it. Overall I think it works well as one of my edc.

I like them for what they are, low profile sights for a concealed carry gun. As Hockey916 said, there is no precision shooting capability, but in the defensive realm they are easy to put on a body mass target.

Everything about the P365 SAS is gimmicky.

I put over 400 rounds down range on a SAS slide I purchased for my conventional 365. Could never make the SAS sights group like the iron sights.

I gave up and put a plate on the SAS slide and installed a Sig Romeo Zero. Nice way to get a red dot on a conventional 365. We will see how it performs, but it looks nice.

My opinion is that it takes practice to acclimate to the sights.

But I am intrigue with the Romeo zero install. What plate did you get?

I like them, and shoot fairly well with them. The gun is designed around no-snag features, which meets my needs well. All the criticism I hear about the gun, or most, anyway, are from those who haven't fired one and are based on traditional thinking. No, the ports on't cause excessive muzzle flash. Yes, it's easy to drop the slide, but not with the slide catch. Yes, the sights are different. That doesn't mean they are bad.

I like the original P365 best. I think their sights are just fine. The SAS is interesting but not for me.

As long as you're not expecting to use a gun with those sights as a 10-ring target pistol out at distance, that Meprolight FT Bullseye (to me an ironic name) is very usable for a personal defense handgun. I have a G19 with that sight system; I initially hated it but I've grown to respect it for what its design is ultimately intended for, despite the limitations with regards to overall usability.

Beanhead,

I purchased a Nameless Armament plate. They are popular and sell out quick. The fit and finish is great and Nate was very helpful and will put you on a mailing list if they are sold out.

The install was simple and is reversible. Just took the SAS slide (stand alone slide without ports) with the Romeo zero on it out for 100 rounds and I found out it is as accurate as the normal 365 or better for my old eyes. I’m glad I kept the slide just to use as an experiment into the world of red dots.

Not sure if I will use the SAS Romeo Zero as a daily carry, but I will spend a some time with it since I know it is capable of very tight groups at 7 yards. It takes me over 1000 rounds before I start trusting a set up so I have a few weeks before I make a conclusion.

Be well,
El Barto

I wonder how many times a standard P365 has snagged on presentation from a holster or got hung up on a garment during presentation?

I'm betting never or hardly ever.

Now, a snub revolver with a spur hammer, like an S&W Airweight or Colt Agent, that's another story.

I guess it's good to have choices, but to me the SAS versions are a solution to a non existent problem.

Thanks El Barto,

I saw the video on YouTube. Now deciding if I want to give it a whir. I think I will eventually get a 365 xl.. but I am wondering if I should wait for the metal version of the Romeo zero...
